I've got an unRAID that I've been using, with great satisfaction, for the last ten years. Last week, it started dropping off of my network and generally being flaky, in terms of connectivity. All my data is fine, connections are just unreliable. I connect to it solely with Macs. I rebooted and checked SMART status (which looks fine) but the troubles are persisting. I decided this might be a good time to update to the latest version. Following the proscribed methods, I took my flash drive, reformatted it, and installed the latest version. It boots just fine, but I get a kernel panic because it can't mount the file system. Since my hardware works fine with version 5.0.5, should I be running into any troubles going to 6?
I've re-built the flash drive several times, on Macs and in a Virtualized Windows XP system. I've used the creation tool and done it manually. I should say that, with version 5 or 6, my particular machine only recognizes the flash drive if I format it with an old HP formatting utility. It's always been this way, I don't know why.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
