June 22, 201115 yr Tom - Another small defect has to do with the spindown value being "" rather than "-1" in disk.cfg. Both madburg and I both experienced this with beta7 which prevented disk spindown from working properly. See HERE for more details.

Both madburg and I both experienced this with beta7 which prevented disk spindown from working properly. See HERE for more details. I saw that but I have not looked into where/how the field is getting set to ""... can you make this happen? (If so, let me know, it would save some time). thanks.

I saw that but I have not looked into where/how the field is getting set to ""... can you make this happen? (If so, let me know, it would save some time). thanks. I witnessed this as of 5.0Beta6d which was the first version I was able to test my sas controllers with unRAID natively spinning down/up my drives when manually clicking the button. If I started from scratch (wipe USB stick) and took a copy of what the disk.cfg file was, then added a few disks to the array, again take a copy of the disk.cfg file, then set the global disk settings to 15mins, once again take a copy of the disk.cfg then wait 15 mins it will not spin any of them down automatically, select one disk and just click apply (it will now spin this one disk automatically), once again take a copy of the disk.cfg. Add an additonal disk to the array (it will not be automatically spun down)and once again take a copy of the disk.cfg file and email them over to you with what disks I did hat with (details) would that work or is there something else you would like with this?

I saw that but I have not looked into where/how the field is getting set to ""... can you make this happen? (If so, let me know, it would save some time). thanks. Steps to reproduce: Stop array Backup your disk.cfg and super.dat files (and delete them from /boot/config) Copy default disk.cfg from distribution .zip file to /boot/config Reboot Assign parity disk to parity slot Click hyperlink "parity" under Device column heading Click apply Look at the disk.cfg. The "diskSpinDownDelay.0 is "-1". But every other diskSpinDownDelay.x is "". Now unassign parity Assign an array disk to disk1 slot. Start the 1 disk "array". Look at disk.cfg. No change. Disk.1 will never go to sleep, unless you click the "disk1" device and click apply. You have to do same for every slot to fix all of the disks. Stop the array Restore your disk.cfg / super.dat files Reboot Hope this help!
June 23, 201115 yr Jeez, I'd better look into this. I disabled spin-up groups, and just use the "cache_dirs" script, and have a disk spin up when it's needed. But I'm not sure what makes them spin down--I guess whatever we configured initially is how it'll be, right? I believe I set that to "spin down after 1 hour of inactivity"
June 23, 201115 yr I bit the bullet and updated. I thought I was prepared but I had overlooked the one time permision reset and the PHP could not be installed by unmenu. I do see the bug where unmenu does not show the unraid main but if you go directly it works... It does work some times I just dont know why. the rest looks really good I am using my UPS and Twonky media with no problems. Here are a few lines in my syslog I dont understand. syslog attached.

Jun 12 15:40:01 Dragon-Tower crond[1232]: ignoring /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root- (non-existent user) Jun 12 This was fixed several releases back, should not occur with -beta7. Can't explain it, perhaps an add-on? most all the add-ons that add cron entries create this file because older releases of unRAID used it instead of re-reading the output of crontab -l. Therefore, to fix it is easy, delete the file in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root- or ignore the warning, it is harmless. Thank you very much for your help Tom and Joe. Do you have to delete root- every boot? or just once? if it is every boot how would I put it in the go script? Thank you again
June 23, 201115 yr add the following line at the end of the "go" script: rm /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root-
June 25, 201115 yr Ok, so this new version supports the use of 3TB hard drives. Yea! Unanswered question... If I'm running the original Promise SATA300 TX4 SATA II cards Can I just pop a 3.0Gb/s drive in, start up the new version and it'll work with UnRaid on this beta, or will 3TB drives require a hardware controller upgrade to work?
June 25, 201115 yr Like everything related to computers, you will need proper hardware support. You'll need to find out if that controller supports drives > 2.2TB or not. Not all/many controllers do.
June 25, 201115 yr You'll need to find out if that controller supports drives > 2.2TB or not. Not all/many controllers do. While other people are saying that most controllers do work with >2.2TB drives. The suggestion is that the only thing which may not work is booting from a large drive - not something which will be a problem in an unRAID server
June 25, 201115 yr Yeah- I asked here because the Promise SATA300 TX4 SATA II cards were standard spec for many years on the unraid builds, so I figured others here may have tried on these controllers by now. May be worth a try...
June 25, 201115 yr This announcement thread is for use to discuss issues with the 5.0beta7. I have answered this question in THIS THREAD over in the "Hard Drives and Controllers" sub-forum.
June 25, 201115 yr After upgrading, running the 'New Permissions' script, and recreating my shares they are all still 'blank'. Any other thoughts how to get the shares which exist on the Drives to re-associate?
June 25, 201115 yr After upgrading, running the 'New Permissions' script, and recreating my shares they are all still 'blank'. Any other thoughts how to get the shares which exist on the Drives to re-associate? stop and re-start the array.
June 25, 201115 yr Oddly when I restart my array, all shares disappear. If I recreate them and then stop and start again... they go away again. I'm going to try re-running the permissions script and see if that helps. per http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=11540.msg116375#msg116375 Might have something to do with crash plan auto-mounting
June 27, 201115 yr just a heads up, currently have one 3TB Hitachi successfully pre-cleared and running in the server, second 3TB pre-clear is 12 hours away from finishing (knock on wood, power keeps going out due to storms, don't have UPS on new machine) and will start updating parity tomorrow if all goes as planned. Running off of new motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138308 Josh
June 28, 201115 yr Heads up... we will have cake in 3 weeks !!! Does it come, "I scream" with cake; or do i get served cake and Ice-cream. hoping its the latter part.
June 28, 201115 yr Is there any reason I should update to this given I don't use >2TB drives and use SATA? Any improvements in AFP?
June 29, 201115 yr ok I must be stupid but I can't figure out how to get my flash drive to show up with my other drives. Where do I do this at, I think I have set to hidden
June 29, 201115 yr Any improvements in AFP? I can see even a downside compared to version 5.0-beta6a. Here is the discussion: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13445.new;topicseen#new
June 29, 201115 yr ok I must be stupid but I can't figure out how to get my flash drive to show up with my other drives. Where do I do this at, I think I have set to hidden Click on the flash drive on the Main page of webGUI, and you can set the export/share settings there. Also, if you're trying through AFP, it won't show up there--only through Samba.
