June 15, 201313 yr 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. Here are the directories I found from the extract root@unRAID2:/mnt/disk1/unRAID# find bzroot-515/var/log -ls 9064 0 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Jun 15 15:13 bzroot-515/var/log 9068 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jun 15 15:13 bzroot-515/var/log/plugins 9066 0 drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 0 Jun 15 15:13 bzroot-515/var/log/setup 9067 0 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jun 15 15:13 bzroot-515/var/log/setup/tmp 9065 0 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jun 15 15:13 bzroot-515/var/log/samba

June 15, 201313 yr Is AFP broken in -rc15? I had to restart it to get it functioning correctly in -rc13...but I can't connect at all using my Mac via AFP with -rc15...
June 15, 201313 yr 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. Not suggesting that would be the permanent necessity, but would help to determine what this problem is. It's my test system, so i'm here to help. However i'm confused with what you are asking of me. 1) go script is stock 2) boot/packages is empty. I still get stuck at the same place, is there something you want me to try? If i go to stock, i.e. wipe the USB and start again, won't that defeat the purpose?

June 15, 201313 yr Author Is AFP broken in -rc15? I had to restart it to get it functioning correctly in -rc13...but I can't connect at all using my Mac via AFP with -rc15... Works for me. Can you post the system log?

Can you post the system log? Nevermind, it works, it just took like ~10 minutes to connect to the share for some reason.

That particular component is down-rev from what's available now. I will turn my attention back to both AFP and AD once '5.0' gets done.
June 15, 201313 yr Author I'm happy with RC15, but is the cache pool implemented? I have looked around but cant find any related configuration settings for this. Thanks Tom for a GREAT work you do on this, now I looking forward to use the 64-bit release. //Peter Right, that feature won't make it in 5.0.

Maybe something like Raid 0.
June 15, 201313 yr "cache pool" is a little bit different than "cache drive", but you can have "cache drive" with a Plus key i know, Plus licence is on the top of my list of things to buy, unfortunately i just moved to self employment, started new business, and money is rather tight now, so as much as i would like it, i can't justify the expense. i'll get it eventually, even if i don't neccesarly need the additional disks, just to show my gratitude for your hard work. some products are just worth supporting
June 15, 201313 yr Author When you implement "cache pool" - will there be any performance feature built in? Maybe something like Raid 0. It will utilize btrfs where it's possible to set up a raid-0 and even a raid-10, so yes.
June 15, 201313 yr When you implement "cache pool" - will there be any performance feature built in? Maybe something like Raid 0. It will utilize btrfs where it's possible to set up a raid-0 and even a raid-10, so yes. In your description of the new server, you refer to a 4-disk btrfs RAID-1 cache pool. ["Our latest unRAID Server release supports several advanced features including a cache pool. For example, you can configure your 10 high capacity hard drives in an unRAID array, and configure 4 fast 2.5? SSD’s in a RAID-1 btrfs cache pool." One thought & one question: Thought: => Seems like you should update the web page to remove that feature from the description, since it's not going to be true for a while [Or at least caveat that "... supports several advanced features, which, in a near-term "dot" release, will include a cache pool." ] Question: => Will the cache pool implementation permit setting up a 2-drive RAID-1 pool? I'd love a fault-tolerant cache, but don't have room for 4 SSDs [i assume the answer to this is Yes, but am not familiar with btrfs, so don't know if that impacts the minimum number of disks.]
June 15, 201313 yr just loaded on my test bed unraid2 - RC15 from RC14 - Booted fine Mem 8 gig cpu amd x240 RC15: PRO Array came up quickly Doing a parity check now - Speed started at 112mps now steady at 101.7mps - looking very good (40 minutes into parity) Menus are very quick to respond. Hard drives WD red 3tb - parity wd red 2tb - disk1 seagate 2tb disk 2 wd ears 1.5 disk 3 wd ears 1.0 Cache drive Various addons all working fine: Sickbeard Sabnzbd Openvpn Webserver Apcupsd mysql server Airvideo Plex Simple Features Subsonic Looking great!!! Thanks Tom and to all the troubleshooters!! Radman
June 15, 201313 yr Parity check finished in 6:02 with no errors, 138.1 MB/s average speed. Same duration, give or take a few seconds, as previous rc's. So far, no issues to report with rc15.
June 15, 201313 yr Parity check finished in 6:02 with no errors, 138.1 MB/s average speed. Same duration, give or take a few seconds, as previous rc's. So far, no issues to report with rc15. Nice timing -- those 7200rpm drives do have some advantages By the way, next time you run a parity check, try this: (a) Spin up all your drives; (b) click on Clear Statistics to reset all reads/writes/errors to zero; © Do the parity test. When it finishes, please post your read counters in this thread [Just the parity counter and the highest and lowest count for each different size drive you have]: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=27893.0 Thanks -- just trying to collect a bit of data r.e. the variance of read counts.
June 15, 201313 yr Running rc15 on my test machine (lab) and all seems well! System seems faster, but I lack previously logged parity check times because rc13 was having those shutdown issues. The best I have is 50621sec (rc11a) vs 40922sec (rc15) ... so that's a substantial improvement! Otherwise, copying files to the server are fast at ~40MB/s. This is largely a stock system with only unMenu running. I'll try a test with my main server soon. Thanks Tom!!
June 15, 201313 yr A bit late in the day but:- 1) this release with the new syslinux.cfg booted first time without any issues. 2) I can stop the array with emhttp dying on me. 3) parity checks are the same speed as 13. While it doesn't mean much for me this is as robust as 12 and exhibits neither of the problems I saw with rc13 and rc14. Many thanks.

That particular component is down-rev from what's available now. I will turn my attention back to both AFP and AD once '5.0' gets done. For me, it has always taken a while to access unraid via AFP from my MBP and hackintosh running OS X Lion, and sometimes frustratingly so. But I noticed that rc13 connected quicker. And now rc15 connects quicker than before, especially once the the drives spin up. I'm happy with the performance boost. And no array crashes when stopping. Awesome, awesome.
June 16, 201313 yr Just curious if anyone knows why the realtek kernel drivers would need to be replaced in rc15(3.9.6) since they seemed to work in rc13(3.9.3) ? FROM CHANGELOG: " Changes from 5.0-rc14 to 5.0-rc15 --------------------------------- - linux: use kernel 3.9.6-patched (patched with reiserfs sync superblock fix) - linux: replace stock r8169 driver with Realtek r8168-8.036.00 "
