defected07 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 So any of the users we create for SMB/NFS/AFP are really just masked as nobody? Link to comment
kasper Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 You do not. It's only for upgrades. Almost true... It is ALSO needed if you log in as "root" and move or copy any files between disks using native command line commands or "mc" That is because they would end up owned by "root" and not visible to the LAN which is logging in as "nobody" Joe L. Hi Joe I am intriqued that you said that. I log into the unraid box as root using putty, and have copied numerous files using MC (but always using the user share paths and not the mnts direct) and the copied files have always been seen on the network without using the permissions utility. So why? Wayne Link to comment
defected07 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I can never see files when connecting via FTP. And I'm logging on as root. Seems weird that they won't show, no? Link to comment
rickd Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I want to try the new plugin installer for sabnz sickbeard and also slimserver so want to test 5 latest beta. I have stable 4.7 unraid running. I though best thing maybe to create another usb key with latest 5 on it and keep my 4.7 incase i need to revert. or copy the 4.7 working key to a new key and upgrade that to 5.0 THen I can add my plugins Is that the recommended approach?

I backed up my 4.7 key and did a fresh install. If I need to go back I can wipe and restore. What I read is you can go back even after running the permissions script. Link to comment
MortenSchmidt Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Good post - since this was shared a while ago, are there any of the betas after 8d that could also be considered a "stable beta"? The reason I ask is that 5.0 Beta 8d contains a fix for the Data Rebuild Bug which is present in prior 5.0 betas as well as 4.7 and prior stable releases (well, depending on Your definition 4.7 might no longer really be considered stable). In Tom's own words, "There's a critical bug fix in this release having to do with data rebuild. There is a corner case that comes up where, if during a data rebuild of a disabled disk (or disk replaced with a larger one), if a write-request occurs for another disk in the same stripe for the disk currently being rebuilt, it's possible the data for the disk being rebuilt is not actually written. Later, this will cause a Parity Check 'sync error'. If you are running any previous 5.0-beta release, please upgrade to this release. In addition, I will be updating the 4.7 series (to 4.7.1) with the same parity sync bug fix." (see here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13866.0) For me personally, upgrading to a beta release on my production server is against my philosophy, but in this case, since I've been having this data corruption myself, and because 4.7.1 still hasn't come out (been 5 months now), I just might entertain that idea to run a beta to get the Data Rebuild Bug fix. Any takers on post-8d betas? Have people been running one long enough to call is stable (even with the quotation marks..)? Has it been tried with SASLP-MV8 controller? Is there something about a specific issue with an LSI controller? Link to comment
dave_m Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I've been running beta12a with an IBM BR10i for a couple months now, as beta13/14 have problems with the LSI controllers. Link to comment
MortenSchmidt Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 A couple of people have started reporting their experiences with 12a here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=16099.0 Maybe I'll have a look the 12a release thread when I get the time... I sure with someone would maintain a "Known Issues" list of acknowledged bugs instead of me having to wade through 24 pages of forum posts, trying to wade out user errors from actual bugs to get some kind of overview.

sacretagent Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 somebody with the right powers should change the title for this thread to 5b12A Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 somebody with the right powers should change the title for this thread to 5b12A I beg to disagree. I am running 5b6a on my production machine right now as it has been the most stable for me. Link to comment
MortenSchmidt Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Just so it's clear - beta 6 has the Data Rebuild Bug that Tom disclosed in the beta 8 release notes. Pro, did You have problems with 12a or is it just that You haven't tried it haven't experienced the data rebuild bug Yourself? Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Pro, did You have problems with 12a or is it just that You haven't tried it haven't experienced the data rebuild bug Yourself? I have never hit the data rebuild bug, and I tend not to touch my production server unless I have to. I was running 5b2 but hit a bug (race condition if I remember correctly) after I updated to the faster and beefier Q9300 Link to comment
MortenSchmidt Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 ...and I tend not to touch my production server unless I have to. Me either, man. That's why I've been on the so-called 'stable' release branch until now. The Data Rebuild Bug, which I have run into myself, is the only thing that has me considering running a beta on my production server. Link to comment
husky55 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Same here. I just had too much invested in my server to mess with betas. That said, we are up to 5b14 and it's been a long time since 4.7. Link to comment
ct1478 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Has anyone tried the Supermicro AOC-USAS2-L8i controller with this version of software? Link to comment
Johnm Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 As I recal. Lsi support was not implemented until beta 7x. The. Card might work, but it will not support spindown and temperature support. Link to comment
ct1478 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thanks for the info, looks like I will hold off a little longer on buying another LSI controller. Link to comment
emorydively Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 If one was to start a new build thats not necessarily mission critical--its a home server, but I do want to not constantly worry about crashes and bugs. Best to keep with 4.7 or use one of the 5.0 betas? I do run a mac home so AFP and Time Machine support would be a big deal. Link to comment

bigup Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 whats considered to be the best stable beta at the moment? Link to comment
apgood Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 5.0-rc16c Why do you say rc16c? Isn't the most recent rc rc16b? I notice you mentioned rc16c in the unmenu thread as well... Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment

Yeah that's why I asked because I did a search but couldn't find any other references to it other than Joe's. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment
