April 21, 201412 yr Running unRAID V6b4 (specs as per signature) with 1nr VM - IBs ArchLinux package The ID number of the VM is continuing to increase as shown on the Xen Domains tab, currently at ID 14 although its the only VM. Everything is working perfectly, just wondering why this is happening.

April 21, 201412 yr Are we not able to use the following command on 6b4 to execute mc any more: sudo -u nobody mc When I tried I got this error: root@Media3:/boot# sudo -u nobody mc (mc:13496): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory. This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set. The overwriting error message was: Cannot create /.cache/mc directory (mc:13496): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory. This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set. The overwriting error message was: Cannot create /.local/share/mc directory Failed to run: Cannot create /.config/mc directory I use "mc" that way so that when I move files they maintain the same permissions as if I wrote them across the network. Or is that not necessary any more? Did you google the first line of the error message. I found many responses about this problem.

Or is that not necessary any more? Did you google the first line of the error message. I found many responses about this problem. Nope not yet just asking to see if anybody else had seen it. Will when I get home tonight and can actually work on it. Quick search for "(mc:13496): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous error or uninitialized" results in a lot (278,000) garbage matches that don't appear likely answers from first page anyway but I'll keep going when I get home. I see google changed it slightly so will force it back to what I pasted and try again. Helps to leave out the "(mc:13496)". Not sure I understand first answer so will have to continue looking. This looks to be the most likely to me http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2900 But user nobody doesn't have a home directory and works on 5.0 unRAID so how come the change? After reading the forwarded error it look like it is related to the errors I get in MC on 5.0 but with 5.0 it doesn't stop it from functioning. If I want to avoid the errors completely I change to /mnt directory and they go away. I will try that in 6.0 tonight and see what I get. I tried my thought but it makes no difference. unRAID 6.0 errors out and will not execute with the sudo to nobody but unRAID 5.0 just displays error messages and continues. I tried to upload graphics of the 5.0 errors but am unable to - at least to this thread. It is possible that unRAID 6.0 has this problem only when running Xen. I have one VM running WHS2011. When it completes the file copy currently in progress in a couple of days I will try this without Xen and in Safemode and see if it is still a problem.
April 21, 201412 yr I thought that number correlated with the VM instance because when I restart my VMs the number goes up. i.e. 2 VMs, if I restart VM 1 it now shows as ID 3, likewise restarting VM 2 would then be ID 4. If you only have 1 VM then it would appear to be restarting...caveat, I'm still pretty new with this so I could be wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would assume it should check the number of VMs running and reassign ID1 rather than a new ID number (I'm new to this as well!). Will reboot unRAID and see if it reassigns ID1
April 21, 201412 yr just out of curiosity. is there actually something like a 'roadmap' for v6 (along the lines b5 - around may, b6 - around june....)? also (i realize it's all beta at this point and things change) what might or might not be part of the next releases? and as we are at it, i noticed also the talked about 5.0.6 never appeared (not that i really miss it), is the v5 put on ice (so to say. it would be understandable to leave it alone and concentrate on getting v6 stable release). anyway, still sticking with 5.0.5 for now, since my sandbox decided to take a leave with mobo failure. just trying to get a rough idea how the planning on v6 is generally. cheers, L
April 21, 201412 yr Not sure if this is a good idea or not, but, as root, cd to /, then make the three directories mc is looking for: mkdir .cache .config .local then change to nobody su - nobody and mc Just tried on 6.0b4, works for me! P EDIT: of course, this won't survive a reboot, etc

P EDIT: of course, this won't survive a reboot, etc Thanks that worked. Tried something like that myself and it didn't work but I had forgotten the "cd to /" first. duh! So I was able to use exactly what I referred to "sudo -u nobody mc" which should be the same/similar commands to what you typed. Once I created the directories in the correct spot.

April 22, 201412 yr Are any of you using wireless keyboards at the console level by chance? I've had a couple of run instances where all headless access to my server went down so I wanted to have a last resort keyboard on hand to get at the console. I'm using a Logitech wireless w/ unifying receiver. The keyboard works at post in the BIOS, but once Unraid/Xen (running 6b4) loads and I get to the login prompt it is unresponsive. I've tried using my usb2.0 and 3.0 ports, no dice. Thanks. I have this problem too. Googling around shows that it's a kernel improvement that broke unifying communication. For me repeatedly unplugging and plugging into different usb port got the keyboard working after ~10 tries.

Are you using the standard "Keyboard/mouse" USB ports? They're the ones located where the PS/2 ports are/used to be.

April 23, 201412 yr Hello, I use my Unraid for storage and Sabnzbd only. Nothing more. Is the R.6 beta 4 suitable for my needs? Will I get any improvements considering the fact that it runs on x64? Thanks
April 23, 201412 yr Hello, I use my Unraid for storage and Sabnzbd only. Nothing more. Is the R.6 beta 4 suitable for my needs? Will I get any improvements considering the fact that it runs on x64? Thanks The main difference is unRAID 6 can host Virtual Machines. If you're not interested in figuring out how to use that capability then stay with 5.0.5 for now.
April 23, 201412 yr He'll also get the benefit of it being a native x86_64 OS, which some users have reported helped with speeds on their systems. He would need to upgrade his plugins to the 64-bit versions, which I think Sabnzbd has been already..
April 23, 201412 yr While some users will continue to leverage UnRAID plugins in version 6, the majority are looking at moving to virtualization and moving their applications inside a VM, both to improve UnRAID stability as well as to remove the dependency on a single plugin author managing each application. For many this is going to be a large shift in understanding and require the community to pull together to publish clear and concise processes which work as advertised. While those are more tech savvy are willing to push the envelop through this beta period and work through the various issues that arise, for most casual users 6.0 does not make sense this early in the process. We have not even stabilized on the version of Xen being used for virtualization (as hopefully 4.4 will be included in beta 5), so until that happens the guides written so far are not guaranteed to provide consistent results down the road. As a general rule of thumb, if you want to setup UnRAID and just forget about it then stick with the 5.0 series. It will continue to support all your needs today and for the near future. If you want to experiment and "play" with UnRAID then trying 6.0 may be a good choice for you. Personally, I would suggest anyone looking at buying hardware for UnRAID plan for 6.0 and virtualization (whether they think they need it today or not), but from a software perspective, stick with 5.0 unless you really want to dedicate the time to take on that learning curve with the understanding that pieces are still shifting under your feet.
April 23, 201412 yr Hi all, I'm not sure it's the right thread, but I'll try. I've just bought a USB dvb-t tuner to use with tvheadend, but I can't find how to pass the device to the VM... Any idea? Envoyé de mon Nexus 5 en utilisant Tapatalk

April 24, 201412 yr Do I post bugs here? If you believe your issue is related to UnRAID 6.0 beta4 then yes, post your issues here. If it's determined to not be a build specific issue then it may get moved to general support forums.
April 24, 201412 yr I'm having issues preclearing a 3TB on v6 beta 4. Tried preclearing twice, same error. I had to shutdown my server after waiting almost 48 hours. Is there an existing issue adding new drives (preclearing) on v6? Can i go back to unRAID Server 5.0-beta14, add the new drive(preclear) and once it's done come back to v6 beta4?

Are you using the latest version of the preclear script? See here Not sure why you are conflating adding a drive with preclearing it. They are distinct operations. Or do you really mean adding a drive and letting unRAID clear it? What error exactly are you getting? How much memory do you have? Any addons? It is possible for preclear to run out of memory. See here
