November 27, 201312 yr btw just in case wget does start failing you can use the -c option to resume :-) Yes, I used wget for 5.0.2 and it had to resume 15 times (the resume option appears to be on by default under Ubuntu)..
November 27, 201312 yr Thanks Tom. I've been waiting on this to get my brand new server up and running. Yay!
November 27, 201312 yr Excellent Tom - lots of great updates here for Mac users! I will be installing this tonight.
November 27, 201312 yr Tom, I've been running unRAID with Macs for years now. These changes are great. Appreciate your hard work!
November 28, 201312 yr I saw a really nice write speed improvement using the "reconstruct-writes". For me it's undesirable on daily operations, small files etc due to all disks are spun up, but for large amounts of data it works really well! Thank you, Tom, really thank you for this.
November 28, 201312 yr Starting an virtualbox VM gives a kernel panic, maybe it's the virtualbox packages that need to be updated ? see more here It was OK on 5.01 and 5.02 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=10978.msg273988#msg273988 //Petre
November 29, 201312 yr This Thanksgiving, I'm giving thanks for version 5.0.3! The AFP changes are much welcomed! For a long time, I've had a 'workaround' to ensure my TimeMachine mounted properly and is announced and visible to the Mac OS. I've never been able to figure out how to reliably duplicate the issue--it was always sort of random. My 'workaround' was a bit of voodoo and magic spells consisting of a specific order for restarting/mounting/accessing the TM bundle...followed by chanting and the shaking of rattles to ensure success. I'm very Thankful that with 5.0.3 none of that seems necessary. TM mounted and ran before I even had a chance to start the incantations! Thanks, Tom

November 29, 201312 yr The download page doesn't seem to be working, I've tried from a couple of different locations to get 5.0.3 (and the other releases as a test), from 2 places in the UK and 1 in the US, but all downloads start and then stop abruptly. Is this just happening to me?
November 30, 201312 yr Yes, I just downloaded. What are the UK sites? I thought there was only one official repository.
November 30, 201312 yr Sorry I meant physical locations, so from 2 different offices in the UK, using completely different net connections.
November 30, 201312 yr Author Sorry I meant physical locations, so from 2 different offices in the UK, using completely different net connections. Sorry, I don't know what this issue could be. I've sent another email to the hosting company. I'm probably going to have change hosts. What browser are you using? Some have reported better success using Firefox vs. IE.

November 30, 201312 yr So if you want to change it back the way it was you would add these lines in /boot/config/share.cfg: shareAvahiSMBName="%h-SMB" shareAvahiAFPName="%h" Thank you so much for posting this. All of my shares' automounts broke after the upgrade because of the AFP path change. I understand why the change was made, but it was a little nerve racking. Thanks for posting the fix to put things back the way they were.

November 30, 201312 yr Author .torrent it's been said before and should be said again. i've also offered a mirror but that was ignored! Thank you for the offer, but at this time I think it's our best interest to keep all responsibility for downloads and their content in-house.
November 30, 201312 yr I did disable / enable the AFP and SAMBA, now all good I didn't notice at first, but after upgrading to 5.03 - I was not able to connect via AFP. I had to stop and then restart AFP a few times and then it started working. I did not reboot my mac. This may mean that we will have to do this step after a reboot until resolved. I did not see anything in the syslog.

I did not see anything in the syslog. The server names were changed. Instead of 'Tower', its now 'Tower-AFP'. Your Mac's saved server names (and passwords) became out of sync with the new names. Reboot the Mac works, too. (or do GO/CONNECT_TO_SERVER...(cmd+K))

Reboot the Mac works, too. (or do GO/CONNECT_TO_SERVER...(cmd+K)) Right, sorry about this. Given that server is accessed via both AFP and SMB, and that Apple is moving to SMB for file access, it made sense to make this change now. As mentioned in the first post, there's a way to change it back if you want.
December 1, 201312 yr What's the procedure to downgrade back to 5.0 ? Ever since upgrading to 5.0.3, having problems with my virtualboxes... Thanks
December 1, 201312 yr What's the procedure to downgrade back to 5.0 ? Ever since upgrading to 5.0.3, having problems with my virtualboxes... Thanks Same procedure as upgrading from 5.0 to 5.0.3 - but I also read in another forum that people had problems with vbox with 5.0.3 but did not with 5.0.2.

December 3, 201312 yr Just want to put a big thanks for the 5.0.3 release. I upgraded from RC12 on a Unraid system hosted on ESXi using RDM drives, which I know isn't best practice. After the upgrade I've got drive-temps in the dashboard for the first time. I've always had drive spindown and that has continued to function in this release. Really impressed with the stability. Cheers!
