April 1, 201412 yr Hi, I have been running Version 5 rc5 since I installed UNRAID. I am looking to moving to the latest stable version. Can you please point me to the instructions for actioning this. Thanks.
April 1, 201412 yr Download the latest stable version of unraid. Here! Unzip it and read the instructions in the readme.txt file. It's not that hard to update. The "hard" part is getting the usb ready for the first time. If there is some part of the instructions in the readme.txt that you are not sure about, come back with questions.
April 1, 201412 yr Author So, just to confirm, the instructions are: "If all you are doing is upgrading from a previous 5.0.x release, you only need to copy 'bzimage','bzroot', and 'readme.txt' from the release zip file to your Flash and then reboot your server ...." ? should I be running a parity check beforehand ?

You can if you are not sure or have not run a parity check recently. Found a bit more steps in the wiki All previous 5.0-beta and 5.0-rc versions including 5.0-rc8a Prepare the flash: either shutdown your server and plug the flash into your PC or Stop the array and perform the following actions referencing the flash share on your network: Copy the files bzimage and bzroot from the zip file to the root of your flash device, overwriting the same-named files already there. Reboot your server. Once boot-up has completed, you should see "Stopped. Configuration valid." array status with all disks assigned correctly. Click on each disk link on the Main page and examine the Partition format field. If you see "MBR: error", or "MBR: unknown" for any disk, do not Start the array; instead post your finding in the Forum announcement thread for this release. If everything looks ok, click Start to bring the array on-line. Go to Utils/New Permissions and execute that utility to change file ownership and permission settings. This is necessary for proper operation of the 5.0 security model.
