I've been lurking for a week or so and am impressed with unRAID especially the willingness of forum members to help instead of just answering "RTFM". However, I have a few basic questions.

 

1. Where is the current version of software license that I can read prior to purchasing? The one in the .ZIP file is dated from 2008.

 

2. Is there a copy of the terms of the purchase I can read before purchasing? I am interested in how long my license is valid and whether that includes support, what kind of support, and upgrades.

 

3. Is there a process for transferring a registration key (GUID) from one USB flash drive to another? Flash drives fail from time to time.

 

4. Is there a clear description of what the underlying filesystem type is and how it works? I assume it is still Reiserfs.

1 & 2. Best bet is to email Tom for these two questions, [email protected] - http://lime-technology.com/company/contact

 

3. Yes, many users have had to do this due to flash drives becoming damaged, failing etc. The process is basically to e-mail limetech with your new GUID and they will email you a new key file.

 

4. I'm not sure what you mean by clear description but unRAID is based on ReiserFS, yes. Wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReiserFS

The license included with the distribution is pertinent.

If you are worried about the license transfer if the flash dies you can get a USB to microSD converter, there are suggestions on the forum to the ones that would work. On my phone so can't bring it up now.

 

Basically the sd would be what would die, but the guid would be for the converter. If it died, switch to New sd and keep on rolling.
