I thought the coruption issue was IF one uses DISK SHARES. Which I don't personally have turned on. Anyway it's sound like a non issue it just been tidied to only show DISK when browsing a DISK & show USER when browsing USER shares.

In 6.12.8 it's no longer showing user shares. Only showing DISKs. Anyone else? I used to use to manually move files around.

Thanks

Awesome

Does the Unassigned Drives plugin set a flag named unassigned_drive to true for its drives?

Would anyone like an AI category? There's quite a collection now be nice to have them under the one label?

That probably would be a better focus the new payment schemes start with unraid 7. Unraid 7 brings the 2nd part of ZFS and various other cool features talked about in the video. However free for all current customers. It's new future customers who pay yearly.

So looks like the idea is to eventually implement an own VPN and make it easy to connect & share shares with friends & their servers etc. Pretty cool.

Please watch this - The best explanation is here in this really nice video interview With Tom the Founder & his Daughter who is co-ceo. Basically extra money is needed to help bring on new team members & help further development. They want to continue serving the community and not seek venture capital etc. They talk about how they would like to use more community developers for little projects. And how moving to this new business model will work both ways as people have the choice to pay or not and so this means they have to bring features that people will pay for. So exciting. After watching the video, hearing the history & realising it is a family run business - I am feeling better about the future of unraid.

Would something like this be better a dell h200e pre flashed? Also only £35. Once tested with another card can then move onto further testing. Do you have another cable can test? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225929041422?itmmeta=01HQ1RZ8D2P1CQEGHPCFMFSG5H&hash=item349a6b960e:g:euEAAOSwKNxlcgZP&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8G80u4vppl3Dig1huKIoc3jqOLVO%2BXGqxMvpvX7tGUejEs36VWG2u0hzYeRUzuv3RNJ5LBjFM9rT2X9HObMqQYqWpg0grzwCzItvN%2FhBmHB8dC6JlewpmvrUx4yDbvXqUW4QlZl%2F74ZB%2Fh67kNVHA%2BPHWL3Hi6NIbeDqxfiihs0Jf7JaNf%2FnBL404EwXr8nxbYra%2FKcbrB5LZlHmbjNhkkGiPeWm%2BHtEAc822iyPOZUchBXCInQSlXVDkLa4SWIlyTlhoYkOYsuvwnHb4zFebfxaUeQrJvxHNS33h3EpxRandZH5q%2FQfQrkeT2uSGJO6LQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9KG_bi4Yw

Thanks I'm on Pro currently so fine on this server and will take advantage of the started for a 2nd server build. As a side note I'd happily pay a one off £20 - £50 for a GUI update on Pro..

Q & A about the situation here:

Dev costs are crazy in the US (110k+), more cost effective in europe (60k) & then even india (quality unknown). Is it worth getting some official unraid merch on the go for the community. Sign up with a drop shipper etc Stickers, t-shirts etc. At the mo it's all unofficial but really a percentage should go to unraid. $10 from each t-shirt to unraid.

So unleashed sits below pro. It's like pro but for a year & then turns into a subscription fee? Anyway thanks for explaining and hope this helps bring in extra cash flow. I can see a lower starter level bringing more people into the community.

Looking at updating the dynamix auto fan plugin. Is there a way to call drives from the unassigned plugin? or a way I can say ignore them or add them to the list to be user excluded? Currently they are being included under data disk and this then affects fan speed & noise while I sleep. Think others would enjoy a fix too. function data_disks($disk) { return $disk['type']=='Data' && strpos($disk['status']??'','_NP')===false;

I think subscription model makes sense from a business point of view but it all depends on the price.. Self hosting is usually to avoid subscription fees. I have paid for PRO. So if moving to yearly fees I'd also be expecting a more polished user experience so they would need to provide more and not just rely on the community plugins. For example more focus on low power use & better fan control. Perhaps an undated GUI experience which I think is planed. Better documentation or at-least willingness to merge the requests that people submit. The unraid policy will need updating to reflect the extra information that is sent when updating - https://unraid.net/policies Unraid is definitely the simpler server software out there & I'd like to carry on supporting unraid. ("Extend License"),title:tee.t("Pay your annual fee to continue receiving OS updates.")}),eee)})) Just say x is x instead of x is y.

Ok genies out of the bottle this guy found the code. Looks like the plan is to move to subscription pricing... which I can understand but when to tell the community and I think there has to be alot more basic function to warrant a subscription fee. Power-saving functions, fan control, guide noobs to essential plugins etc. So, it looks like Unraid is switching things up and moving towards an "annual support" model for updates. They just rolled out this new update system, and in their latest blog post, they mentioned: This is an entirely new experience from the old updater and was designed to streamline the process, better surface release information, and resolve some common issues. (https://unraid.net/blog/new-update-os-tool) Their code tells a different story, though: if (cee.value) { const eee = "Your {0} license included one year of free updates at the time of purchase. You are now eligible to extend your license and access the latest OS updates.", tee = "You are still eligible to access OS updates that were published on or before {1}."; Or: text: tee.t("Extend License"), title: tee.t( "Pay your annual fee to continue receiving OS updates." ), }), Some translation pieces too: Starter: "Starter", Unleashed: "Unleashed", Lifetime: "Lifetime", "Pay your annual fee to continue receiving OS updates.": "Pay your annual fee to continue receiving OS updates.", "Your license key's OS update eligibility has expired. Please renew your license key to enable updates released after your expiration date.": "Get a Lifetime Key": "Get a Lifetime Key", "Key ineligible for future releases": "Key ineligible for future releases", (Source for all of these: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/unraid-components/_nuxt/unraid-components.client-92728868.js)

There's some more detail on the blog but basically it looks like it is presented as being a new fancy GUI way to update when really it's a way to modernise the licensing system. People unraid server sends info about the server including name, usb guid, unraid account etc is then checked on unraid.net end and then if ok it must send back some code to say ok upgrade? I would like to know if unraid.net has to power to PUSH any updates or if they always have to be ignited by the user first. https://unraid.net/blog/new-update-os-tool

#1 Bug - cloud backup of usb stick seems to keep all data in an ever expanding folder called .git on the usb stick Solution - implement an script to delete or empty this after a successful upload, or empty it once a day/week etc. #2 Bug - Something wrong with https://account.unraid.net/ when you have deleted the unraid connect plugin but are still signed into unraid.net basically it says multi factor is enabled, then it says it isn't enabled. See video for loop. unraidnet.mov Solution - unsure of fix.

What's the idea behind all this? Why do we need to be signed in to now update an OS? It worked fine that way it was... you just clicked update. Now we have to be signed into unraid.net and go to an external website then click update.. What's actually different under the hood? What happens to those that dont want to use the unraid connect plugin. Also if your not using the unraid connect plugin (I deleted it) how is unraid.net still talking to my server!? How securely is the update command sent from the unraid.net website to my server? How is this verified. What happens if unraid.net gets hacked & issues bad firmware?

Is the plan to change from USB sticks GUID? to using unraid accounts & server names? Be nice to know what the plan is & what options are for those that may choose to not use unraid connect etc. It looks very fancy just concerned about how strong it all is behind the scenes.

Is the consensus that using the cpu's [PCIe 4.0] lanes reduces C-states when compared to using a [PCIe 3.0] slot? What happens if we force pcie3.0 on pcie4.0 slot. Is it the speed or just being directly connected to cpu that dictates power efficiency?

So now in 6.12.8 it's showing existing folders on zfs drives that could be implemented into ZFS master as datasets. The only option is to rename / move the folder. What should I be doing?

As an example of small bug the .git folder (located on usb stick when turn connect on) doesn't seem to clean itself up so was taking up 1.25GB on the USB stick. Presume is to do with cloud usb backup process. Should be done in ram really.. as thats the principal of unraid.
