April 20, 201412 yr Hi all, It's been awhile. I purchased unRaid pro awhile back and wound up going a different direction but now am looking to implement a small file server with it. I have the pro.key I was sent on the Lexar USB stick I put unRaid on and backed up, when I boot the machine I can go to the webpage, but before I just roll with it I noticed there was a version 5 (maybe newer out) and I wonder what the process would be to upgrade to the current version (if I even can with my purchased version), do I have to re-do the entire process or just copy files? My last question would be that even though my unRaid is booting, the Lexar USB stick is pretty old so wonder if there is a process before I commit to the build to get a new key for a new USB stick... Also I think the version on the main page was 4.5. Thanks ahead of time for any help.
April 20, 201412 yr Normally updates just involve copying 2 files to your stick and rebooting. But if you have not configured your array yet, I might suggest that you start with a fresh install on your Lexar stick. The instructions are included in the announcement thread and in the download package. Remember to save the .key file. There have been some changes to the syslinux version and other components and this may just be easier than the update procedure from 4.5. The current version of unRaid is 5.0.5. There is also a 6.0 beta 4 out and if 64 bit and ability to have virtual machines running on your unRaid box is appealing, you might consider it. 4.5 in particular had some defects that under rare conditions led to data loss by some users. Suggest you move to the current release.
