Good Morning:
I am an avid unraid user (4.5.6) and recommended it to a friend of mine. Yesterday we put together a machine with a msi 870-g45 mobo, 4gb or ram, 3 seagate lp 2tb drives, amd athlon x2 black and using a sandisk cruzer blade 4gb flashdrive and a plus registration. After having to clear the cmos from the mb to be able to boot the computer, unraid booted (4.7). I assigned the 2 data drives and no parity initially to copy some media from my unraid to my buddy's. I noticed is was a slow transfer rate but continued until the middle of the batch, then it stopped copying. I canceled the copy and proceeded to see if I could read the data off i just transferred to the new unraid server. I could see the data, however if I tried to play a video it will not stream, ifconfig showed no data loss/collisions. I spent the rest of the afternoon/evening reinstalling unraid to the flash drive, changing user share permissions, tried another flash drive, assigned only 1 drive, until I decided to give version 5 a try. Using the same components I booted with beta 4, configured eveything, and applied the new permissions under upgrade utilities. The server is working 100%, copied stuff over and was able to read it without a hitch. Questions I have: Any additional compatibility with Motherboards present in 5.0? Is the MB incompatible with 4.7? Could there have been a problems with permissions in the 4.7 setup? Anything else I should check? How "safe" would it be to run beta 4 as his main server considering 4.7 is giving us trouble? Should I try my version 4.5.6 since its working 100% ?
Appreciate if anyone has answers and/or comments,
