It didnt complain at the time, it didnt show any issues were outstanding (or at least I dont think it did)... but as a new user, maybe I wasnt looking for those comments in my over enthusiastic install frenzy I learned a few lessons:
#1 - dont install everything
#2 - check the support threads for the plugins/dockers before installing it
#3 - the community forums (plus possibly reddit) are the place to lurk to watch for this kind of things
I am just so happy its all working again!
As a new unRAID user, a HUGE thank you for mentioning the Network stats plugin, and removing it fixing the issue. My new/trial install just sprung back into life, and as it is my first unRAID install, I didnt have the ability to rollback to 6.5.x.
