I just upgraded my 5.0-rc10 version of Unraid to 5.0.5 and rebooted.  Everything appears to be working fine, but it also seems that there was no change to the system.  I followed the "upgrade Only" instructions and copied the bzimage, bzroot and readme files to the USB drive and then restarted the system.  When I connect to the Unraid web interface, I still see:

 

unRAID Server Basic

version: 5.0-rc10

 

I am not sure if the upgrade took or what is happening. 

 

Any assistance would be appriciated.

Clearly you didn't copy the files to the flash drive ... or at least not to the correct location (the root).

 

You need to copy bzimage and bzroot to the root of the flash drive -- i.e. if you go to \\tower\flash  you should see the correct versions of bzimage and bzroot (2,662KB for bzimage;  32,698KB for bzroot).

 

 

I have checked the \\tower\flash directory and it shows the correct file dates and size for both bzimage and bzroot.  I have attached a screen shot of the directory.

 

Any other thoughts?

The file dates don't match the latest download -- so I'd re-download it and try again.

 

Are you certain you shutdown and rebooted?  I've seen folks stop the array and restart it, thinking this would reload the latest version, but it does not.

 

I finally figured it out, I was not booting off the USB, but a transparent boot image that I built because the motherboard was having an issue with seeing the USB at boot.  Once I modified that with the updated files, everything worked correctly.  That is waht I get for setting it up and not touching for over a year.

 

Thanks for all you help and I apologize for my brain-lock...

Glad you figured it out -- it was a bit perplexing that the flash drive showed the correct sizes for the key files, but the system wasn't booting to that.    That's why I asked if perhaps you'd simply stopped & restarted the array without actually rebooting.
