Why does Unraid use an old, UEFI-incompatible, version of memtest86, instead of the modern GPLed memtest86+ v6?

Featured Replies

I know I'm not the only one who was stumped to find out that the baked in memtest tool in Unraid's boot menu doesn't support UEFI systems and fails to launch.

 

But the general reason given for this has been wholly unsatisfactory. Supposedly, Unraid is shipping with an old version of Passmark's memtest86 and a license change prevents any further updates? At least that's what I read.

 

Why is Unraid shipping with Passmark's closed source memtest86 at all instead of the excellent, fully rewritten, actively developed and 100% open source memtest86+ v6?

Any reason why Unraid can't bundle this memtest tool? Should be trivial and would prevent a lot of "why is memtest broken?" forum posts.

From the information I have it should be included with Unraid soon, probably not for v6.12.0 but soon after.

Good to hear, hope to see that addressed soon.
