June 16, 20233 yr I upgraded from RC6 to release without any issue except (and this might be my own fault) - I backed up flash, updated plugins, update dockers, stopped dockers, did the update, waited for the update to finish then rebooted as it said but for some reason it's doing a parity check but I didn't have a bad shutdown. But I have 14tb's drives so it's going to take 24 hours to run - only negative, otherwise it's fine. I have 2 other servers both on previous build but I will wait to make sure no one has any issues.
June 16, 20233 yr Upgraded from 6.11.5 to 6.12 without problems. Everything seems to be working fine... ... but how do I reset the dashboard layout, I know I read it sometime before but I forgot. Doesn't seem to be something that is clearly visible. found it.. its the blue wrench at the main panel. Edited June 16, 20233 yr by JustOverride
June 16, 20233 yr can someone walk me through this ? To restore VM autostart, examine '/var/log/vfio-pci-errors' and remove offending PCI IDs from 'config/vfio-pci.cfg' file and reboot. in simpler terms please

June 16, 20233 yr Thanks to all Limetech team and all contributers for amazing work. Updated to 6.12 from 6.11.5 without Issues. Waiting for next cool futures.

June 16, 20233 yr From the Release Notes: "If you created any zpools using 6.12.0-beta5, please Erase those pools and recreate." Does anybody know why that is? I think i created a zpool on RC5, currently on RC8 and everything seems to be running fine. Edited June 16, 20233 yr by Dr. Bogenbroom
June 16, 20233 yr Just did the migration. It works and i have no problem 😋 Thanks for the hard work done.

June 16, 20233 yr Long time Unraid user here. Thank you for your hard work for this new release! ZFS is a major change and I am considering whether I should convert my individual array drives to ZFS or whether I should start utilizing ZFS pools. I am sure it would be greatly appreciated by many if part of the Unraid release notes or general documentation there were migrate instructions from XFS array disks to ZFS pool/pools or to individual ZFS formatted array disks. In addition, it would be great, if one could find pros and cons listed for different ZFS options and maybe also preconditions for ZFS usage (for example, RAM requirements). I am pretty sure that many Unraid users (that are not adept with ZFS) are considering what to do with ZFS.
June 16, 20233 yr I'm thinking to remove one of the cache pool mirrors (total 2x drives) Then wipe the other one format as ZFS. Copy data back to NEW ZFS cache pool single. Confirm data. Then wipe the other BTrFS cache, then add it to the ZFS pool (requiring a format of the BTrFS drive). Does this sound like the right steps for converting a cache pool (mirror) to ZFS mirror? Edited June 16, 20233 yr by dopeytree
June 16, 20233 yr I would have a question regarding GUI in Dasboard view. There are new icons for cog, wrench and info. Is it intention to have that squares background? In my opinion it somehow does not fit in general view. For me it is every login little bit eye catching. Maybe it is matter of taste or time? I do not know. What do you guys think? I know that it is just stupid thing but... Please see attached example. Edited June 16, 20233 yr by ELP1

Does this sound like the right steps for converting a cache pool (mirror) to ZFS mirror? I am not sure that would get you to the type of ZFS pool you want to end up with. ZFS is far more restrictive than btrfs in the options for adding extra drives after the initial setup of a ZFS pool.
June 16, 20233 yr Ah ok so best to backup to another disk (perhaps in array) or other pool. Then wipe the cache pool. Then set up as a new pool with all drives present & ready to go? Then copy data back. Out of interest has anyone done any performance tests of btrfs mirror pool vs zfs mirror pool. 2x nvme ssd's. https://www.raidz-calculator.com/default.aspx Eventually i will migrate some of my array disks to a 6disk ZFS array of video files so can be quickly edited.

Concerning this situation, you can simply wipe a disk and set it as a single ZFS. Then copy your datas back on it, wipe your second disk and add it as a mirror. Your zpool shall be then two devices mirrored. For the perf, don't expect ZFS to speedup your nvme drives. As your supposed to store videos on it, the "simplest" tweak to use are the "Ashift" and "Recordsize" parameters dedicated respectively to zpool and dataset. ZFS benefice only's it ARC read cache mechanism. So if your editing your videos, there are no gain. Edited June 16, 20233 yr by gyto6
June 16, 20233 yr Is the Share Floor Plugin included and removed by Upgrade? Or mean the Entry in Release Notes another thing?

I think that: webgui: DeviceInfo: added automatic floor calculation this simply means that this plugin will no longer be required as changing the value to be a sensible default value rather than 0 is built-in, so you can remove the plugin if you have it installed.

June 16, 20233 yr Since the upgrade my nvme cache disk is getting very hot 55 degrees while it was 45 degrees max before. Any idea where the problem could come from ?
