limetech Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 IMPORTANT NOTICES REGARDING BETA13: There is an issue in this release that affects those using a cache disk where you partitioned/formatted the disk outside of the normal practice of using the unRaid webGui to do so. We will be releasing -beta14 soon that addresses this issue. While this won't affect probably the majority of unRaid-6 users, for now, we are taking down -beta13. After upgrading to -beta13 if your cache disk now appears 'unformatted', please do not run file system check or scrub, or reformat. Instead please capture the system log without rebooting and post here. Probably what's happening is this: those who experience this issue have probably manually partitioned their cache disk, or perhaps partitioned and built file system on some other linux distro. I need to know if this is the case before implementing a fix. Some have reported that updating from the webGui requires clicking the update twice for it to take affect. Disclaimer: This is beta software. While every effort has been made to ensure no data loss, use at your own risk! Sorry for the long delay between this release and previous beta. Quite a lot has been going on and hopefully we should be able to get releases out there more rapidly. We are near the end of the -beta period for unRaid-6 and we anticipate a very short -rc period to follow before finally releasing 6.0. The primary bug fix here has to do with the docker image file stored in the btrfs cache pool. In btrfs, by default, all files are created with so-called Copy-On-Write (COW) semantics enabled. This causes problems when trying to update the image file if the underlying btrfs file system fills up. To solve this we now set the "No-COW" bit on new docker image files when they are created. Unfortunately the No-COW bit is only effective for newly created files. If your cache disk/pool tends to get close to full capacity, we recommend that you create a new docker image file and re-create your containers. Please also refer to this important announcement regarding the unregistered (free) version of unRAID Server OS. Note: There are upgrade instructions in the readme.txt file contained in the release (which are the same as previous releases). A recommendation not in the upgrade instructions is to please clear your browser cache before connecting to a new unRAID OS release (or new dynamix webGui release).

JustinChase Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks again for all your hard work on this. I tried to update with the plugins system and got this... /usr/local/sbin/plugin update unRAIDServer.plg 2>&1 plugin: running: 'anonymous' invalid install: deleting /boot/config/plugins/unRAIDServer.plg plugin: run failed: /bin/bash retval: 1 It still shows I need to update. I have a KVM (Windows VM running at this time, in case that might be part of the reason the update failed.) Quote Link to comment
jphipps Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I recieved the same message, but then if you hit update again it seems to go through... Quote Link to comment
heffe2001 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Upgrade process from plugins menu went through fine (I have a KVM running as well, ubuntu 14.04 I believe). Awaiting the system coming back online at the moment, but so far so good... Quote Link to comment
tyrindor Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Manually updated. Everything went fine however one of my drives is now showing a red thumb down on the dashboard due to a single reallocated sector. I don't really understand that because I didn't write anything new to it, and it was definitely green thumb up before I upgraded. Maybe something was changed with the "Dashboard" SMART checking? I'm not really sure why a single reallocated sector should result in a down arrow. The drive itself says "SMART overall-health : PASSED". Might want to increase the threshold. Quote Link to comment
MisterWolfe Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I just tried updating via the plugin update system. It's been about 20 mins since I rebooted and the unraid server still hasn't come online. Looks like I have some work to do when I get home. Quote Link to comment
Woodpusherghd Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Updated via the web GUI, rebooted and now my cache drive is showing "unformatted." Not good. Quote Link to comment
DoeBoye Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Any chance this new version supports the complete destruction of an unwanted docker image? I don't see a way to do so (I delete the image/format my cache drive etc, and the .img file just reappears on reboot). I was hoping the next release would support this... JonP mentions it's on the list for future functionality Thanks! DB Quote Link to comment

JonP mentions it's on the list for future functionality Thanks! DB Not in this release. You can delete the image off your cache drive by making the cache device SMB exportable. Then you can browse to the cache device as a share on the network and you will see the docker image there. Delete it using SMB works fine for now. Quote Link to comment

I'm pretty sure I would have deleted over a network share on beta12, yet it still came back... Quote Link to comment
GHunter Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for the update. I was really hoping for an update to Xen! Will you guys be updating Xen in the next beta or RC? Gary Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for the update. I was really hoping for an update to Xen! Will you guys be updating Xen in the next beta or RC? Gary Probably not. We have not had an opportunity to properly test out 4.5. There are supposedly a large number of changes that could affect existing configurations, so without proper testing against that, we wouldn't feel comfortable putting out a release. An upgrade to the Xen version would be something for consideration for 6.1, not 6.0. Quote Link to comment

An upgrade to the Xen version would be something for consideration for 6.1, not 6.0. Ok. I understand and realize that it isn't just a matter of updating some files. I see there is some updates to QEMU and that might help with KVM and some stability issues I've had. Or maybe not. Who knows. I'll play around with it more and see what happens. I haven't spent a whole lot of time with it because Xen works so well. Gary Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for the release. Will get around to trying it out after I finish 3 cycles of preclear on a 4tb drive. Quote Link to comment

Xen support isn't going away, but had a period of time where the upstream really just wasn't providing anything. Libvirt and qemu, however, have been getting fantastic support and rapid advancement. More on this soon. Quote Link to comment
NAS Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It is worth pointing out that whilst the OP says this is primarily a bug fix release to fix docker images, FAR more important is that it close 1-2 serious docker security holes. This should be marked as a critical security release. Also we need to include instructions how to recover from existing corrupt docker IMG files (which i suspect a high percentage of users have). nice work Quote Link to comment
meep Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Updated to b13 via webui. Rebooted. Now my cache drive shows up as unformatted (it's a 250gb ssd with xfs). It has all my xen vms on there so am a bit stuck. Any thoughts? Thanks. ********************************************************** Just noticed this is the second similar report already - suggest holding off on applying this update until we see some kind of limetech response..... *********************************************************** Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Just updated to 6b13via the GUI. No problems there. However, it appears that you have to go the the 'Settings' page, open the 'Scheduler' page and click on apply as the scheduler is stopped until you do that! Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 On the Tools page there is a "Trial Info" button that gives a nice welcome to the Trial version and lists the restrictions of it. This probably shouldn't be there for a licensed version Quote Link to comment
digitalfixer Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 apcupsd might be included but with no way to configure it from the webgui it's useless compared to dlandon's plugin. Kevin. Quote Link to comment
sparklyballs Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Updated without any hitches, it was a little disconcerting to see all my dockers come up blue and needing update. "updating" them didn't pull any data though and everything restarted ok. Quote Link to comment

"updating" them didn't pull any data though and everything restarted ok. Yes there were some changes to how repos are handled (thanks gfjardim!) and so this one-time experience will get things synced up, but shouldn't require an actual download if your apps are current.

dlandon Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 apcupsd might be included but with no way to configure it from the webgui it's useless compared to dlandon's plugin. Kevin. I've made changes to the apcupsd plugin so it will work with 6b13. Will release soon. Basically, the apcupsd package is now included in 6b13 and the plugin does not need to download and install it. LT will eventually include the apcupsd plugin so the plugin will no longer be required. Quote Link to comment
Woodpusherghd Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 See my prior post. I tried to resurrect my cache drive with reiserfsck. I was able to mount the drive but most of the data was hosed. Good thing I had backed up my VM. Back to beta 12 until it's determined whether this is indeed a nasty bug. Quote Link to comment
