    The crash you refer to is when enabling the host access to custom networks option, yes?

    There are mixed reports. Host access seems to be one of the possible causes, but not the only cause.

    Some people -including myself - never experience crashes, this makes it hard to troubleshoot.

    is there any benefit (or drawback) from switching to ipvlan?

    macvlan and ipvlan achieve the same purpose: a dedicated network with isolation

    According to the Docker documentation ipvlan is a more lightweight implementation, which may benefit performance.

    There are some minimum linux version and docker version requirements to use ipvlan, but obviously these are met in Unraid.

    Any help to the cause just in general testing in normal usage?

    It will help me (us) tremendously if people test and confirm that switching from macvlan mode to ipvlan mode solved their crashing issue.

     

  2. I like to highlight other improvements available in 6.10, which are maybe not so obvious to spot from the release notes and some of these improvements are internal and not really visible.

     

    - Event driven model to obtain server information and update the GUI in real-time

    • The advantage of this model is its scalability. Multiple browsers can be opened simultaneously to the GUI without much impact
    • In addition stale browser sessions won't create any CSRF errors anymore
    • People who keep their browser open 24/7 will find the GUI stays responsive at all times

    - Docker labels

    • Docker labels are added to allow people using Docker compose to make use of icons and GUI access
    • Look at a Docker 'run' command output to see exactly what labels are used

    - Docker custom networks

    • A new setting for custom networks is available. Originally custom networks are created using the macvlan mode, and this mode is kept when upgrading to version 6.10
    • The new ipvlan mode is introduced to battle the crashes some people experience when using macvlan mode. If that is your case, change to ipvlan mode and test. Changing of mode does not require to reconfigure anything on Docker level, internally everything is being taken care off.

    - Docker bridge network (docker0)

    • docker0 now supports IPv6. This is implemented by assigning docker0 a private IPv6 subnet (fd17::/64), similar to what is done for IPv4 and use network translation to communicate with the outside world
    • Containers connected to the bridge network now have both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity (of course the system must have IPv6 configured in the network configuration)
    • In addition several enhancements are made in the IPv6 implementation to better deal with the use (or no-use) of IPv6

    - Plugins page

    • The plugins page now loads information in two steps. First the list of plugins is created and next the more time consuming plugin status field is retrieved in the background. The result is a faster loading plugins page, especially when you have a lot of plugins installed

    - Dashboard graphs

    • The dashboard has now two graphs available. The CPU graph is displayed by default, while the NETWORK graph is a new option under Interface (see the 'General Info' selection)
    • The CPU graph may be hidden as well in case it is not desired
    • Both graphs have a configurable time-line, which is by default 30 seconds and can be changed independently for each graph to see a longer or shorter history.
    • Graphs are updated in real-time and are useful to observe the behavior of the server under different circumstances

  3. Each VM takes resources away, especially CPU resources, which impacts single stream performance.

    You need to test with multiple streams to see the true limitation of your network.

     

    I am using the AQC107 chipset too (Asus NIC) and have 5 VMs running:

     

    Test 1: PC to server (4 streams)

    C:\Tools\iperf>iperf3 -c 10.0.101.11 -i0 -P4
    Connecting to host 10.0.101.11, port 5201
    ..
    ..
    [SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  11.0 GBytes  9.49 Gbits/sec                  sender
    [SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  11.0 GBytes  9.49 Gbits/sec                  receiver

     

    Test 2: Server to PC (4 streams)

    C:\Tools\iperf>iperf3 -c 10.0.101.11 -i0 -P4 -R
    Connecting to host 10.0.101.11, port 5201
    Reverse mode, remote host 10.0.101.11 is sending
    ..
    ..
    [SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  10.9 GBytes  9.38 Gbits/sec    0             sender
    [SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  10.9 GBytes  9.37 Gbits/sec                  receiver

     

     

  4. Limetech has highly automated the process to replace or upgrade registration keys. This is an attempt to help users quicker and get their system up-and-running faster in case disaster strikes, but this brings 'other' challenges; you don't want rogue users to abuse the system.

     

    Pretty sure emails can still be used to communicate with Limetech and address issues in the more traditional way.

    i prefer the old way, unraid works fully offline

    This is still true (assuming you have a registered version, not trial).

    You can happily keep using Unraid without the UPC functionality, but you will loose convenience when something goes wrong and your registration key or configuration gets lost.

    because the paths

    /mnt/user/...... don't exist any more.

     

    You have not (never) enabled user shares, see Settings -> Global Share Settings -> Enable user shares.

     

    Unraid 6.10 has these disabled by default, as part of the hardened security measures.
