This version of Unraid OS includes significant improvements across all subsystems, while attempting to maintain backward compatibility as much as possible. Please see the release notes for all the details.

 

This announce post is perfect for quick questions or comments, but if you suspect there will be back and forth for your specific issue, please start a new topic under General Support. Be sure to include your diagnostics.zip.

 

Upgrade steps for this release

1. As always, prior to upgrading, create a backup of your USB flash device:  "Main/Flash/Flash Device Settings" - click "Flash Backup".

2. Read the release notes.

3. Update all of your plugins. This is critical for the Connect, NVIDIA and Realtek plugins in particular.
4. If the system is currently running 6.12.0 - 6.12.6, we're going to suggest that you stop the array at this point. If it gets stuck on "Retry unmounting shares", open a web terminal and type:

   umount /var/lib/docker

   The array should now stop successfully

5. If you have a recent release or Unraid Connect installed
   1. Open the dropdown in the top-right of the Unraid webgui and click Check for Update. More details in this blog post
6. If you are on an earlier version
   1. Go to Tools -> Update OS and switch to the "Stable" branch if needed. If the update doesn't show, click "Check for Updates"
7. Wait for the update to download and install
8. If you have any plugins that install 3rd party drivers (NVIDIA, Realtek, etc), wait for the notification that the new version of the driver has been downloaded. 
9. Reboot

Update: Patches are now available with bug fixes, no reboot required! See the release notes.

The biggest changes from -rc.2 are around NFS shares, along with some tweaks to the Tailscale integration. Please do upgrade if you are running any of the betas or RCs.

Upgraded from 7.0.0-beta4 without issues. Had some problems with RC1/2 so I went back to beta4 but I think that was mainly hardware/memory overclock instabilities and issues with powertop --auto-tune and ASPM problems on AM5/Ryzen 9000 issues (USB hubs, NVME SSD's, SATA ports and Realtek LAN disappearing, probably not waking up again from sleep). Had some changes/using other things to optimize power consumption now and tested that for some days on beta4 so lets see if this is also stable on the final release.

holy, 7.0 is out?

 

Still I better hold on to see how the RTL8125B goes in this new version, every since 6.12, each update gives me so many headche with this NIC

 

 

Updated one of my threadripper servers without issues, will do my other one tomorrow!

Update hung during installation. Been waiting for almost an hour.

Open a new tab/browser window with the IP address/URL of your unRAID system. Occasionally I've seen a plugin/container/OS upgrade stop sending messages to the popup window, but when opening on a new tab/browser, it shows as complete and waiting for reboot.

I did that then canceled the update. It completed successfully on the second attempt. Waiting to restart one everyone stops watching Plex hahahahaha 

Server upgraded, the update got caught in a restart loop. At the second restart, it went ok.

You should probably upgrade your USB Boot device first.

A few users are seeing a "Wrong Pool State, invalid expansion" or "Wrong pool State. Too many wrong or missing devices" error after upgrading, they are caused by different reasons.

 

For "Wrong Pool State, invalid expansion", this usually means that the pool had an incorrect cfg file, but v6.12 didn't check or care about it, you can easily resolve the issue by just letting v7 re-import the pool, to do that:

 

• on main, click on the first pool device for that pool and then "Remove Pool"
• back on main, create a new pool with the same name and number of slots
• assign the pool device(s), leave the filesystem set to auto
• start the array to import the pool

 

For "Wrong pool State. Too many wrong or missing devices", Unraid v7 no longer supports pools without any assigned devices, you just need to click on the pool and then "Remove Pool", or set the pool slots to 0.

 

 

a 2G prob works with a clean install (no plugins/no baggage of logs-notifications-backups).. but yeah prob doesnt hurt to bump min requirement to 4G these days as everything keeps growing....

 

 

but anyways to note, upgraded to 7.0 from 7.0rc2 without any issues. using 4G usb stick

Wifi support is much longed for 

Went up to 7.0 without a hitch, nice :)

Updated without problems 👌

Like many other users update without problems - and using it now without array drives (only SSD in pools).

Thanks team lime & co.

Yesterday upgrade to 7.0 RC2, today upgrade to 7.0, both upgrade's went smooth. Thanks for the hard work!

 

In the release notes is SR-IOV mentioned under the VM manager: Add/edit VM template.

 

Where can we find the SR-IOV settings in the gui of the vm manager to manage the SR-IOV Intel GPU? I did not find them.

 

Is the Intel i915 SR-IOV plugin still required or should i remove the plugin?

 

Secondly will SR-IOV GPU's also available for docker containers? Like was possible with the Intel i915 SR-IOV plugin.

 

Thanks.

I am on 6.12.10 with a machine that has VM's running and many docker's. Is it safe to upgrade directly to 7, or should I go in steps? Thanks 👍 

Two servers updated OK, one got an NGINX 500-error after reboot - ssh'd in to reboot and all OK.  However just downgraded both, none of the drives would spin-down - so I must have an older SATA controller.  I hope that gets resolved - I REALLY don't want to have to throw these computers away
