April 28, 201214 yr *** Taken Down *** This is a "release candidate". When/if no major, glaring bugs are found, it will be renamed to "final". Changes include: - kernel update to 3.3.2 - fixes for Active Directory In other news, we're finally, about to announce a new server product. This is a 10/14 drive rack mount server. The "10/14" means there are two configurations: a 'standard' version that supports 10 trayless hot-swap 3.5" hard drives, and an optional configuration that includes additional 4 trayless hot-swap 2.5" bays. You can install laptop drives or SSD's in these bays. This 3U server is 19" deep and designed for low power and low noise (for example, we offer a 80+GOLD rated PSU). The product page should be ready next week, and we will be offering a substantial "pre-order" discount.
April 28, 201214 yr The Br10i on my test array has the same problems as before... I'm assuming the M1015s won't work either...
April 28, 201214 yr Author The Br10i on my test array has the same problems as before... I'm assuming the M1015s won't work either... Please post a link to the best thread that describes the problem.
April 28, 201214 yr Have to get back to you on a specific thread... What happened is, as soon as the drives spun down, error messages started filling the system log & then a drive red balled. At that point I didn't go any further... I shut the array down, copied my backup to the flash, & rebooted back to 12a... I'll go looking through threads to find some specifics that relate to the problem I'm having.
April 28, 201214 yr [me=sacretagent]dissapointed heavily[/me] no extra drives in the array although you mentioned it several times no LSI support .... and for this you took like 6 months ?? some guys did these changes on their own in the b14 thread ... forced to stay on b12A
April 28, 201214 yr Was so happy to see this annoncement today on my birthday Only to find: The Br10i on my test array has the same problems as before... I'm assuming the M1015s won't work either... That really is a disappointment :'( - I was setting my hopes that this quite widespread card would be supported during/after the beta cycle :'( Only encouragement is, that the latest version to support it (12a) works quite well for me for the basic stuff. Still hope card support will make it into the final product or a not too distant future release.
April 28, 201214 yr Again, folks need to realise the LSI issue (m1015/br10i etc) requires a fix in the Linux kernel, not the unRAID product per se. Kernel 3.3.4 was released today with NFS improvements and md fixes, not sure if it addresses the LSI issue though. Also those guys that compiled a new kernel with B14 didn't fix the LSI issue either, because it was STILL PRESENT in the newer kernel.
April 28, 201214 yr hmmm. I get some wired messages: Apr 28 11:38:51 nas kernel: scsi_verify_blk_ioctl: 36 callbacks suppressed Apr 28 11:38:51 nas kernel: hdparm: sending ioctl 2285 to a partition!

April 28, 201214 yr Same here, i just moved to a virtual unraid setup with an M1015 and at the same time upgraded to RC1 and noticed the drive errors and such after the drives have been spun down and then back up. Hopefully a kernel fix will be available soon if that is the cause.
April 28, 201214 yr Tom, which version of lm-sensors is in 5 rc1? I did not see a mention of it in the change log. Should we still disable all plug-ins before upgrading? Thanks, Dave
April 28, 201214 yr Still 25MB/s parity syncs since beta13. Beta12a still going 65-70MB/s. Support has been nonexistent, friend experiences the same as me. AOC-SAT2-MV8 controllers with Western Digital Green drives.
April 28, 201214 yr The issue was brought up in the Beta 13 and Beta 14 threads. Here is an explicit post that produced details as it was occurring: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=16125.msg149306#msg149306 The problem with any/all LSI Sata controllers (mptsas) is: 1. Spin down your drives. 2. Attempt to access spun-down drive. 3. Watch as drives produce thousands of false read-errors in syslog. 4. Watch as drives are red-balled on the EmHTTP management screen. The fix: Revert the used Linux Kernel to ANY of the 3.0.x series. For example, I have customized unRAID 5.0 beta 14 working nicely with the Linux Kernel 3.0.8. FYI: Linux Kernel 3.3.4 was released yesterday, April 27th. It includes fixes for NFS and some for MD.
April 28, 201214 yr great job Tom. Don't worry about what some of the other people say and just stick to your game plan.
April 28, 201214 yr it is begining to seem that the developer does NO testing what so ever he just compiles and releases.......this LSI bug has been present for a long time now...you think he would use the lsi card in the test system.....i understand that the lsi and nfs bugs are kernel related...but yet he keeps upgrading to the newer yet still broken kernels.....instead of staying with a stable and solid kernel and just finishing the unraid code........ we have all paid good money for a license here....and to be forced to stick with a unfinished beta code is UNACCEPTABLE...........
April 28, 201214 yr we have all paid good money for a license here....and to be forced to stick with a unfinished beta code is UNACCEPTABLE........... While I will not defend Tom's silence for months on end, I think the above is unfair. I'm disappointed in the delays too - but I'm not aware of any formal guarantee that all future versions are free upgrades. I am very happy that new versions are free, and do not consider it something he legally owes us. (Or even morally)
April 28, 201214 yr The Br10i on my test array has the same problems as before... I'm assuming the M1015s won't work either... Please post a link to the best thread that describes the problem. The post BRiT refers you to above pretty much covers it...
April 28, 201214 yr Still same issue for me that subtitles disappear after first line are viewed for some movies. tested with kernel 3.3.4 , using samba it's OK, so I think I going to disable NFS, since samba works perfect for me. //Peter
April 28, 201214 yr I just got home from work. I've got 4.7 flashed backed up prior to beta14, and now I've got beta14 backed up just in case. I've upgraded to RC1 and everything is working. No erros

I am very happy that new versions are free, and do not consider it something he legally owes us. (Or even morally) +1 there is VERY few software programs out there that have free lifetime upgrades SO relax and enjoy 4.7 cause that's what you paid for....
April 28, 201214 yr we have all paid good money for a license here....and to be forced to stick with a unfinished beta code is UNACCEPTABLE........... You paid for an unRaid License. You paid for 4.7, not beta code. No one is FORCING you to use beta code. Whenever 5.x becomes final, then you'll have a FREE UPGRADE (not written in stone that I'm aware of but has been Tom's past practice). How many software companies do that? Very very few. What is UNACCEPTABLE is your ENTITLEMENT mentality. No wonder the world is going to hell in a hand basket.
