PeterB Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 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).. Link to comment
magnumdoomguy Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks Tom. I've been waiting on this to get my brand new server up and running. Yay! Link to comment

autumnwalker Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Excellent Tom - lots of great updates here for Mac users! I will be installing this tonight. Link to comment
lishpy Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Tom, I've been running unRAID with Macs for years now. These changes are great. Appreciate your hard work! Link to comment
autumnwalker Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Downloaded instantly and installed without issue. Thanks Tom! Link to comment
gfjardim Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 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.

peter_sm Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 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 Link to comment
DaleWilliams Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 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 Link to comment

mortstar Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 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? Link to comment
dgaschk Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Yes, I just downloaded. What are the UK sites? I thought there was only one official repository. Link to comment
mortstar Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Sorry I meant physical locations, so from 2 different offices in the UK, using completely different net connections. Link to comment

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. Link to comment

Apocrathia Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 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. Link to comment

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. Link to comment
optiman Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 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. Link to comment

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)) Link to comment

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. Link to comment
gshlomi Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 What's the procedure to downgrade back to 5.0 ? Ever since upgrading to 5.0.3, having problems with my virtualboxes... Thanks Link to comment
jbartlett Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 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. Link to comment

mortstar Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 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! Link to comment
