January 25, 201412 yr Download Please see readme.txt in the release zip file for installation/upgrade instructions. Disclaimer: This is beta software. While every effort has been made to ensure no data loss, use at your own risk! Also: please disable/remove all add-ons and/or plugins, except for any updated webGui as it becomes available. Highlights: - added some PATA drivers. PATA will not be dropped but drivers added per user request. - fixed ftp - fixed issue in webGui which didn't properly permit upgrade Speaking of webGui... I nuked the old repo and created a new one. If you click on the 'About' page and then click the 'check' link it will tell you if a new version has been pushed. If so, it will offer a button to update to the "latest" webGui from github. This is a work-in-process and seems to work ok now, but you need to upgrade to this -beta2 release. Soon I'll produce a 5.0.6 that has the same functionality built into unRaid OS 5.x. My attention is now turning toward getting Xen working and forum reorg.... Edit: screwed up the build & the PATA drivers aren't actually in there
January 25, 201412 yr My attention is now turning toward getting Xen working and forum reorg.... Thanks for the quick release! We need to compile a Xen package and it will create the Xen Kernel (which will need it's own syslinux menu option for). Let us worry about Xen because there is nothing you need to do... yet. What I would have you work on... The network bridge for both KVM or Xen and incorporating that into the webGUI. By default KVM looks for br0 and Xen looks for xenbr0.

I've been studying this: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/system/xen/ I'll look at getting the network bridge i/f implemented...
January 25, 201412 yr Thanks Tom for your support on PATA, a wise decision Installed beta2, but alas still no sigar! In my case the atiix module isn't loaded and consequently still no IDE intrefaces are detected.
January 25, 201412 yr Mmm... I was running latest 5 version, replaced bzimage and bzroot with the 6.02 version and rebooted.. System boots and I get a "bin" share as well as a "flash" share but sofar nothing more.. I am guessing a plugin issue (did not remove anything before rebooting..) syslog.zip
January 25, 201412 yr I've been studying this: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/system/xen/ I'll look at getting the network bridge i/f implemented... Network bridge is where I would point you. You might want to want to take a look at / consider this too... Xen 4.4 Roadmap It went into feature freeze in Oct. and they are on RC2 already. I have been testing it for a while and so far so good. We can get Xen 4.3.1 going but by the time we get Xen sorted out it... Xen 4.4 might be released. Upgrading Xen is "easier" than KVM since everything is build into one package.

January 25, 201412 yr I don't think the go script is kicking off. At least unmenu & cache_dirs didn't start. The login prompt never displays on the PC but everything else seems to be functioning fine. My plugin folders are empty. syslog.zip
January 25, 201412 yr I have another 'developer' question: is it possible to have PHP link to the /etc/httpd/php.ini file for its configuration? This way it will become possible to add extensions to PHP (e.g GD or SQLITE).

System boots and I get a "bin" share as well as a "flash" share but sofar nothing more.. I am guessing a plugin issue (did not remove anything before rebooting..) Removed plugins and rebooted, system booted and my shares are available. Probably a bit early to tell, but the whole system feels more snappy... Consistent speeds of 50mb to the cache drive, that used to be more fluctuating and also somewhat lower..

Whoops - those had been in the go script for so long that I thought the "Starting plugin" part was from day 1. Commented out everything not in the original go script and got the login prompt.
January 25, 201412 yr A reminder that plugin talk should go here people... NOT IN THIS THREAD. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=31479.15

The login prompt never displays on the PC but everything else seems to be functioning fine. My plugin folders are empty. unmenu is working here... So go script is started... Also I have some special commands in my go script to fill crontab, those have run, so go script is working..
January 25, 201412 yr Webgui bug: I removed the notify confirmation but now the button for reboot is grey and it is not possible to press it... I am guessing that the remove notify does make the checkbox dissapear but it does not change the state of the button to available.. shift-reloading the webpage does not fix it so its not my cache. Setting the reboot confirmation back on and reloading the main page makes the tick appear again and when ticking it I can reboot.
January 25, 201412 yr on Vmware ESXi does it still require a bit of hack to get virtual disks working instead of using IDE?
January 25, 201412 yr NFS ? This might very well be me not understanding it... But I just enabled NFS in unraid and I thought I would be able to do a showmount -e <ip of unraid box> from another unix box in my network to get a sharelist. I however get the following: clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered. Google tells me that means that nfs on the server is not working correctly.. I
January 25, 201412 yr Tom, would you be opposed to including Joe's preclear and cachedir scripts to 6.x ? Also, one of the features of the powerdown/shutdown script is that it backs up your syslog to your flash drive... could this functionality be built into 6.x as well? It would be very welcomed for troubleshooting when you just need to check out previous logs after an upgrade/restart.

To get scsi virtial disk working on Unraid, I have to do a bit of hack. Change disk.EnableUUID to TRUE. More info at http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20392.msg234649#msg234649 I don't have to do that with other Linux distro.

I however get the following: clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered. Google tells me that means that nfs on the server is not working correctly.. I I've had a few issues mounting the NFS shares the beta2 is putting out, it does mount though. But after a few minutes it says 'cannot stat share' or something and access is lost.
January 25, 201412 yr No. I am referring to scsi. I suspect that Helmonder was not responding to you, but querying whether there is a new problem with nfs.

January 25, 201412 yr I think there is a minor discrepancy in readme.txt: - openssh: version 6.3p1. Host keys are generated and stored in /boot/config/ssh directory. Currently configured to allow null passwords (easy to change). telnet still enabled (easy to disable). I found that ssh is not configured to allow null passwords. But it was easy to change with an sshd_config file in /boot/config/ssh.
