aaronwt Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I've got RC15 on my unRAID1 and unRAID2 setups now. So far I've not run into any issues. Link to comment
dirtysanchez Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 RC15 installed and running. No apparent issues to report. Things are running as they should be, even with multiple plugins. Parity check in progress. Thanks for the great work Tom! Link to comment
TheDragon Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Not seeing any issues so far... thanks Tom! Link to comment
garycase Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Seems to be working great. Parity check finished in 7:41 ... one minute better than last version (and very good for 3TB). Copy speeds to the array are EXCELLENT ... notably improved. Here's a copy in progress in each direction: Link to comment
tr0910 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Parity checks on AMD have taken a hit. At one time and under some ver of 5 these 2 AMD systems would do over 100 mb/s in parity checks. Today its at sub 60 speeds. An old Intel Xeon is doing over 100 mb/sec, currently at 45% completion where the AMD is at 28% Intel Motherboard: X7DBE-X Procs: Qty 1 Intel 5130 Dual Core 2.0GHz Ram: 4GB 2x 2GB Qty 3 SAT2-MV8 Raid cards, 3TB drives mix of mostly Seagate, but some Hitachi and WD.

Chris Pollard Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Parity check on my test server is the same as before. AMD Microserver. Link to comment
kricker Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Upgrade went perfectly smooth from RC12. All plugins loaded and are working fine. As a bonus the Simple Features Network and Storage graphs now work, they didn't for me under RC12. Link to comment
JM2005 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Updated from 12a and seems to be working good so far! Link to comment
mr.sparkle Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks, Tom. Best Father's Day present. Don't tell my wife. Link to comment
peter_sm Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 And I doing backup to TimeMAchine right now! that didn't work on previuse releases. Works for booth OSx86 10.8 (Mountain Lion) & 10.9 (Mavericks) Great! //Peter Link to comment
Ockingshay Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Just tried to update my test server from rc12a, replacing bzimage, bzroot and syslinux.cfg but it gets stuck on reboot stating: chmod: cannot access 'var/log/setup/tmp': no such file or directory. see attachment. I ran a disk checker on the usb stick and that came back ok edit: i have no idea why it's preview is upside down!?, but downloaded it's the right way! Second Edit: Just put 12a back on by overwriting those 3 files and it's working on 12a. Any ideas? Link to comment

I think it's a side effect of mounting tmpfs on /var/log. /var/log should probably be renamed. a new mount point made, then have the old structure copied over. Either that or remake all the directories. re-downloading will not fix this particular issue. Link to comment
Ockingshay Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 i did download it twice as firstly i cpoied the files over on a mac, but thinking this may be a contributing factor, re-did it all on a PC. Weebotech, so simply rename /var/log and upon reboot a new mount point will be made automatically? or simply rename and then create anew before rebooting? cheers Link to comment

First of all i did (plex), but i could see it hanging at that part of the boot process, so i deleted it and tried again clean. Unless there are other files left over causing issues? Link to comment

Tom, in your source tree where you build the image, Are there any other directories in var/log ?? Yes there's /var/log/samba, so I had to change /etc/rc.d/rc.samba to create that directory if it wasn't there already. There is also /var/log/setup and /var/log/setup/tmp. These directories are used by the slackware package tools. I verified they did not need to be there for a 'stock' startup, and afterwareds, I manually executed an "installpkg" command and noted that /var/log/setup and /var/log/setup/tmp got created, so I thought all was well... but apparently not.

There's no "old" structure there. It's mounted VERY early in the boot process, before anything else starts loading. And, I can't seem grep any 'var/log/setup/tmp' in the stock package. Can it be something extra that he has added, in his 'go', or as a package? my "go" is stock and packages DID have plex in it, but i removed that. Anything on top of that would mean going back to complete stock and adding the plugins manually, which isn't particularly friendly and encouraging to update for each release. Link to comment
WeeboTech Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I wonder why samba creates without problem its /var log/samba on my server. Anybody else's server frozen like that? re-read the bottom of this post. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=27936.msg247716#msg247716 FWIW, I rebooted my machine and looked for issues with the var/log and did not find anything. As a side note, having unRAID under ESX is a dream, I can reboot, hack, reboot without waiting for a lengthy bios scan!!! Link to comment
Harpz Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Great work with rc15 Tom keep it up. Just finished a parity check on server and it a whole hour quicker RC14: Last checked on Thu Jun 13 20:46:45 2013 BST (two days ago), finding 0 errors. > Duration: 11 hours, 19 minutes, 1 second. Average speed: 73.7 MB/sec RC15: Last checked on Sat Jun 15 19:29:12 2013 BST (today), finding 0 errors. > Duration: 10 hours, 19 minutes, 12 seconds. Average speed: 80.8 MB/sec No idea what you changed but system seems solid and parity checks are faster so I'm happy Thank you. Link to comment

limetech Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Come on, guys, it took us so many years to mount /var/log/ properly, let's please not cast shadows of doubt on it so quickly! This is a good lesson in the danger of introducing any "new feature", however benign it seems, close to a release final. Link to comment
