January 24, 200917 yr I have a share called TVShows, High Water with a Splitlevel of 5. Here is a sample: TVShows TheShield Season 01 Episode 1 Episode 2 I renamed "TheShield" to "The Shield" to enable episode tagging in Windows Explorer(Vista Home Premium) When I navigated the next level after the rename, I lost my Season 5 & Season 7 Folders. Scared me to death.... I then checked the Disk 1/Disk 2 shares. Season 5 & Season 7 folders were still under Disk 2 but wouldn't show under TVShows.... I had to Reboot my Unraid, then everything came up ok viewing from TVshows. Same thing happened when I renamed "ColdCase" to "Cold Case". Am I doing this the wrong way or is this a known issue? Thx in Advance, -a12vman

Thx in Advance, -a12vman If you are on version 4.2 of unRAID then it was a known bug. It was fixed in 4.3 See here in the release notes: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Release_Notes#Changes_from_4.2.3_to_4.3-beta1 The current release is 4.4.2. You are about 17 versions back (counting the beta versions) Please consider upgrading.
January 24, 200917 yr Author Ok thanks for the info. I'm really nervous about doing the upgrade, that's why I've been putting it off I'll move it to the top of my list. -a12vman

I'm really nervous about doing the upgrade, that's why I've been putting it off I'll move it to the top of my list. -a12vman Before you update, do a full parity check. It will identify any hardware issues that might cause problems if something odd were to occur during the update. (Odds are your hardware is fine, but, can't hurt) Then, From windows, you can download and unzip unRAID release 4.4.2 in a folder on your windows PC. You will only need three of the files in it. Do not unzip it on your flash drive or it will overwrite your device assigments, etc. unzip it in a folder on your PC. Then, on the flash drive, rename bzroot to bzroot42, rename bzimage to bzimage42 By renaming these two files, you can go back to the old release by putting them back to their original names. Take a screen shot of the current device assignment on the "Devices" page in the management utility. Sometimes, different versions of Linux will scan the devices in a different order and name them differently. If unRAID is unable to figure things out on its own it will leave the "new" devices as un-assigned drives. You can use the screen-shot of the devices page to re-assign the unassigned disks to their original slots in the unRAID array. Last, copy three files from the unzipped 4.4.2 folder on the PC to the flash drive: bzroot bzimage memtest All that remains is to reboot. Use the button provided on the unRAID console. (Stop the array first, then press Reboot) If anything odd occurs, you can just put the two files (bzroot42 znd bzimage42) back to their original names and reboot once more. You do not need to reformat the flash drive, nor do anything else to it to upgrade other than to install the two new files. (three to get the updated version of the memory test)

February 17, 200917 yr Author Thanks Mucho joe L, the upgrade went off without a hitch! If all upgrades were this easy, life would be a breeze. -a12vman
