October 18, 201411 yr Fellow unRAID(ers)! It's been a long, long time since I've posted on the forums and it seems that unRAID has made some seriously bad ass progress on development. I've been keeping an eye on it, but haven't done anything with my existing unRAID which is on 5.0.1-RC1... I rebooted it for the first time in 214 days today and it seems that emhttp refuses to start despite my best efforts at troubleshooting it. It also has become apparent that I should likely begin the process of upgrading to a new version. I have a few questions: 1) Is upgrading from 5.0.1-RC1 to a more 'up to date' version of 6.X feasible and painless? I know in the past upgrading versions has lead to the array become unstable or unusable for many people, so I am curious if anyone else has performed the upgrade (surely there is) and how it went and anything I should be aware of first? 2) Anyone know if Influencer's plugins work on 6.x? 3) It seems there are numerous virtualization options available for the 6.x branch of unRAID which is great. My "tower" is a Xeon 1230v2 with 32gb of memory, so being able to use it for more than just unraid would be nice, but will likely still be unraid related, for example offloading PMS to its own VM using 4 cores instead of all.. same for sab, etc. So, enlighten me if you will. Is the process of upgrading still as straight forward as before or has it changed? I prefer KVM over Xen these days, but anyone have opinions as to which is running 'better' on 6.x?
December 2, 201411 yr PhAzE has plugins for unRAID 5 and 6 that you should use instead of Influencer's, which aren't being maintained or supported anymore. Many have been using unRAID 6 for some time now. Dockers (Linux containers) are the preferred alternative to plugins for v6. They are pretty easy to setup in the webGUI. If you install the v6 beta you can probably figure it out, since most of the common dockers have included templates for installation.
