March 2, 20215 yr Refer to Summary of New Features for an overview of changes since version 6.8. To upgrade: First create a backup of your USB flash boot device: Main/Flash/Flash Backup If you are running any 6.4 or later release, click 'Check for Updates' on the Tools/Update OS page. If you are running a pre-6.4 release, click 'Check for Updates' on the Plugins page. If the above doesn't work, navigate to Plugins/Install Plugin, select/copy/paste this plugin URL and click Install: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer.plg Bugs: If you discover a bug or other issue in this release, please open a Stable Releases Bug Report. From myself and everyone at Lime Technology, I want to express heartfelt thanks to the Community for helping with testing, providing feedback and code changes. Hopefully this is the last of the massive releases; as a company we are committed to producing smaller, more frequent stable releases. - Tom Mortensen Reverting back to 6.8.3 If you have a cache disk/pool it will be necessary to either: restore the flash backup you created before upgrading (you did create a backup, right?), or on your flash, copy 'config/disk.cfg.bak' to 'config/disk.cfg' (restore 6.8.3 cache assignment), or manually re-assign storage devices assigned to cache back to cache This is because to support multiple pools, code detects the upgrade to 6.9.0 and moves the 'cache' device settings out of 'config/disk.cfg' and into 'config/pools/cache.cfg'. If you downgrade back to 6.8.3 these settings need to be restored.
March 2, 20215 yr Thank you all so much for the great work! I will be upgrading first thing in the morning.
March 2, 20215 yr @limetech, thank you for formally recognizing the developers who contributed and worked on the nvidia driver ( https://wiki.unraid.net/Unraid_OS_6.9.0#Nvidia_Driver ) ::: Quote One of the most popular third-party drivers requested for Unraid OS is Nvidia's GPU Linux driver. This driver is required for transcoding capability in Docker containers. Providing this driver as a plugin for Unraid OS has required a lot of work to set up a dev environment, compile the driver and tools, and then unpack bzmodules, add the driver, create new bzmodules, and then finally replace in USB flash root directory. This work has been accomplished by Community members @CHBMB, @bass_rock, and others. Building on their work, along with member @ich777 we now create separate Nvidia driver packages built against each new Unraid OS release that uses a new kernel, but not directly included in the base bz* distribution.

March 2, 20215 yr I'll wait for 6.9.1. There's always some unforeseen bugs that crop up on hardware and I've learned there's no reason to rush these things. Thanks for all the hard work in finally bringing this release out to the masses.
March 2, 20215 yr @limetech & @SpencerJ - do not laugh about that I trust in unRAID, but murphy's law knows me best
March 2, 20215 yr I kept having kernel panics with the betas. Anyone had those? Any one know if they’re resolved in stable?

I didn't realize it'd all been changed from the old format lol - it'd been on my list of 'things to do to be helpful' (getting the wiki at least commented with updates, if not fully worked over of course), but y'all did a stellar job. Thanks dudes!

March 2, 20215 yr Successfully upgraded 3 (encrypted) systems from 6.8.3 to 6.9.0. One of the 6.8.3 systems was running nvidia-plugin, upgrade procedure: 0. Stop docker containers from auto-starting. 1. Download and upgrade to 6.9.0 without rebooting. 2. Go to plugins and select old nvidia plugin, select it and remove. 3. Reboot. 4. Install new nvidia plugin: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ich777/unraid-nvidia-driver/master/nvidia-driver.plg 5. WAIT FOR PROPER INSTALL TO FINISH - IT TAKES TIME 6. Stop and start Docker service 7. Enjoy. NOTE: Your GPU ID should not change. Edited March 2, 20215 yr by ezhik
March 2, 20215 yr @limetech Could we have the latest nvidia drivers too? https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/170804/en-us 460.56 Also OpenSSL is at OpenSSL 1.1.1j again with CVE fixes. Edited March 2, 20215 yr by Dazog

New graphics card support and oh yea CVE's patched All the fixes and update to the drivers are currently in the 460 branch. 455 is done. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NVIDIA-2021-Driver-CVEs Edited March 2, 20215 yr by Dazog

March 2, 20215 yr Well like the last rc - you still can't set the alarm temp for cache (at least) drives
March 2, 20215 yr Upgraded one server from 6.8 to 6.9 without issue - and am happy to upgrade as my second server has been running 6.9 betas/RC's with very few issues and is happy to say that 6.9 has been well tested :)

I was just able to change the "Warning disk temperature threshold" and "Critical disk temperature threshold" for my cache drive in rc2 without any problems. But maybe you are referring to something else?

But maybe you are referring to something else? Not personally effected (maybe because I had set this prior to 6.9), but heres the bug report, I think there is also a duplicate report elsewhere with additional info
March 2, 20215 yr Awesome! Great work guys! does the GPU driver blacklisting mean we can blacklist a gpu from UNRAID for easy pass-through? I guess headless pass-through is an (un)official thing now?
