Hey all
I'm currently running Unraid 4.6 with a custom compiled image due to the need for the 3w-9xxx driver. I have a 3ware 8506-8 PCI-X card that uses it.
From what I'm seeing, the 3w-9xxx driver is now included in 5.0? can anyone confirm this?
Second, If the driver is included, I'm thinking of upgrading to 5.0, The instructions say I should upgrade to 4.7 before upgrading to the 5.0 beta. How important is this? I'll have to roll my own 4.7 bzimage to do so, and would really prefer not to, as I'll need to reinstall slackware on a virtual machine to do so. (lost the last image in a hard drive crash)
Finally, with the changes to the password files in 5.0, would it still be possible to boot the system with a 4.6 or 4.7 image? Or would I need to copy over the old password files to boot an older image?
Thanks in advance.
