limetech Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Download Clicking 'Check for Updates' on the Plugins page is the preferred way to upgrade. Major highlights of this release: * We're finally at -rc baby! * New licensing. Please refer to this post for more information. * VM Manager: with special thanks to eschultz and jonp this component is quickly becoming the premiere tool for VM management on any platform. * We're finally at -rc * Xen: has been dropped. Please migrate your Xen VM's to KVM. * More kernel changes: update to 4.x linux kernel and changed the tick frequency from 100Hz to 1000Hz. This appears to smooth out video playback and reduce RCU Timeout errors further. Please report your experiences in these areas. Again, I want to extend a special Thanks to bonienl for his continued improvements to dynamix. Keep an eye on this post for further information. Did I mention we're now at -rc? Post-release notes: [fixed in -rc2] An issue has been reported where, with some configurations, after booting -rc1 the number of array slots is set to 5 and number of cache slots is set to 1, and this is different from what you had before (which was 24 and 1). The workaround is to set the number of slots manually on the Main page and then everything will be ok. The problem is that "default" values for number of array and cache slots was 24 and 1. These valued are stored in a config file but only if you modify them off their default values. In -rc1 we changed the defaults to 5 and 1 in order to improve the appearance of the Main page for those starting out with Trial. [apcupsd note for -rc3] Upon booting -rc3, apcupsd will be "Off". If using apcupsd, please turn back "On" and Apply Settings. This is due to change in where settings file is stored. Changes ======= Version 6.0-rc3 --------------- - emhttp: fix Maintenance-mode array Start - emhttp: properly output 'progress' strings echo'ed by emhttp_event scripts - emhttp: let Pro start regardless of attached device count - linux: update to 4.0.4 (btrfs fix from 4.0.3, spinlock fix from 4.0.4, btrfs balance patch) - webGui: VM Manager bug fixes - webGui: integrated improvements to apcupsd component Version 6.0-rc2 --------------- - emhttp: restore default number of array slots to 24 (from 5 introduced in -rc1) - slack: add package: patch version 2.7.4 - webGui: expunge all Xen "hooks" - webGui: VM Manager bug fixes (refer to commit history on github) Version 6.0-rc1 --------------- - docker: update to 1.6.2 - webGui: support replacement keys - webGui: must be Stopped to change Identifcation settings Link to comment

bonienl Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Upgrade went very smooth Perhaps good to mention (again) that perl and python packages are dropped too in this release ... it's more for developpers I know! Nice to see v6 is *almost* ready for primetime Link to comment
gubbgnutten Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hey, limetech, will -rc1 be out anytime soon? Actually, the forum is still telling me "Latest 64bit beta release: v6.0-beta15" despite this thread. Link to comment
tyrindor Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Updated both pro servers from previous beta. Was greeted with 5 drive slots and all drives empty on both of them. I freaked out but then noticed Slots was set to 5 even though I'm on Pro. I set that to 24, and it automatically re-assigned all the drives. Just a heads up. Link to comment

I freaked out but then noticed Slots was set to 5 even though I'm on Pro. I set that to 24, and it automatically re-assigned all the drives. Just a heads up. Had the exact same thing. And the recycle bin plugin or vmware tools plugin was causing repeating emhttp issues (I think - have to restart to double check) Link to comment
sparklyballs Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 did we get ipv6 in this release ? Link to comment
sparklyballs Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Apart from the scary making it look like windows has somehow snuck onto my system (ugh, heaven forbid) with the VM's icons for linux VM's looking like something out of redmond, it's all good so far. Link to comment
sureguy Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Since Xen has been dropped, it probably shouldn't show up on the boot menu. I upgraded from 6b15 via the plugin update feature, but it's still showing on boot. Link to comment
itimpi Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Not sure I like the new layout of the VM's tab. I found it much easier to use when all the buttons were showing. Having to click on a icon to get a menu of options is much slower and more error prone, and also feels less intuitive. Sort of related, does anyone know if VNC viewer that gives allows multiple VNC servers to be viewed at the same time (rather like Remote Desktop Connection Manager). I find that the NoVNC option in unRAID often does not seem to connect to the VM, whereas if I use a VNC Viewer (e.g. TightVNC) and type in the port number it does connect. If I have to do that it would be more convenient to have a list of servers that I can select from to view. Link to comment
sparklyballs Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Just noticed there's a bajillion templates in the add vm section now, cool. Link to comment
sureguy Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Running ESXi 6 I'm getting all sorts of USB resetting errors (browsing the USB device is slow as well), reverting to 6b15 makes them go away. I"m testing remotely, so can't go bare metal presently. I've tried 2 different USB devices, and mounting them via PLOP and VMDK - the issue is the same with both methods. I've attached a syslog, the resetting is near the end, the important lines are: May 16 06:01:37 phatstore kernel: usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci May 16 06:01:37 phatstore kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdj] 7831552 512-byte logical blocks: (4.00 GB/3.73 GiB) May 16 06:02:21 phatstore kernel: usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci May 16 06:02:21 phatstore kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdj] 7831552 512-byte logical blocks: (4.00 GB/3.73 GiB) May 16 06:03:12 phatstore kernel: usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci May 16 06:03:12 phatstore kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdj] 7831552 512-byte logical blocks: (4.00 GB/3.73 GiB) May 16 06:03:48 phatstore kernel: usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci May 16 06:03:48 phatstore kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdj] 7831552 512-byte logical blocks: (4.00 GB/3.73 GiB) May 16 06:04:24 phatstore kernel: usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci May 16 06:04:24 phatstore kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdj] 7831552 512-byte logical blocks: (4.00 GB/3.73 GiB) May 16 06:05:00 phatstore kernel: usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci May 16 06:05:00 phatstore kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdj] 7831552 512-byte logical blocks: (4.00 GB/3.73 GiB) May 16 06:05:51 phatstore kernel: usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci May 16 06:05:51 phatstore kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdj] 7831552 512-byte logical blocks: (4.00 GB/3.73 GiB) This is the physical device mapped to the guest. I've tried both usb types ehci+uhci and xhci. I do have one question, why is this being released as an RC considering there's a very different kernel than has been used on any of the previous betas? I did find this regarding usb power settings for Arch, but have no idea if it is in any way responsible for the issue I'm encountering: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/139009/usb-error-110-power-exceeded-but-works-when-reconnecting I just checked, Kernel 4.02 was released on May 7, 2015. Including it in the RC doesn't make a lot of sense. syslog-unraid.txt Link to comment
Woodpusherghd Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Update went well. I can't seem to find option to create snapshot of my VM which I could do in 15b. Was this removed? My image is qcow2. I also noticed my image allocated size has doubled from 15b. Link to comment
trurl Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Upgrade was quick and smooth. Everything seems good. Great job! I really like the slider on the dashboard to only show the running dockers. Is that new or did I just overlook it on the previous release? Link to comment
afoard Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Just updated to rc-1. After updating, my graphics card is no longer showing as an available device to assign as a graphics card or sound card when updating a VM or trying to create a new VM.

RobJ Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 For those version 5 users interested in upgrading to version 6, there is an upgrade guide for you: Upgrading to UnRAID v6 Also, there is considerable information included that may be helpful to those upgrading from previous v6 betas. Like unRAID v6.0-*, it is in beta too, so suggestions and corrections are welcome. Please post all feedback here. It needs upgrading to beta16, but I don't have time today... Link to comment
jumperalex Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Update went smooth so far with on hiccup to note ... mea culpa, i know its really my fault but worth noting. If your syslinux still defaults to booting Xen, it will fail and loop on the boot screen. Choose standard during one of the loops and all is good. Then go into your syslinux and change default. LT, might be worth noting that syslinux isn't set to default boot away from the no defunct Xen option. That could get annoying for headless folks who then have to pull their flash vice making the change prior to reboot. Link to comment
sparklyballs Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 the %'s when fetching dockers are no longer garbled, although it's now reporting total data pulled 2gb for a 900 or so mb container. Link to comment

GHunter Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Upgrade went smooth. Congrats to the LT Team and the community members that continue to work on the webGUI and their plugins! Thank You! It's great to have made it to RC and I'm sure you guys are as thrilled as the rest of us. unRAID is really such a great product and the amount of work put into really shows. Thanks again.

MyKroFt Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Did Docker and Vms get moved later into the boot process so we dont have a race condition anymore to be able to auto mount unassigned devices via its plugin? Myk Link to comment
jumperalex Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'm once again getting kernel panics and failure to boot if I do not include iommu=pt in syslinux. Unfortunately if I include that I'm being told my system doesn't support VM's because, Your hardware does not have Intel VT-x or AMD-V capability. This is required to create VMs in KVM which I'm fairly certain it does based on my Xen experience and system specs. When last discussed there was mention of possibly missing drivers in the beta15 build. PS I'd include a log from that failed boot but it isn't being captured. Anything I can do to get it? EDIT1: I am seeing this with iommu=pt appended yet VM Manger still says I don't support AMD-V. Attached is the syslog for that boot. root@Tower:~# dmesg | grep AMD-Vi AMD-Vi: Found IOMMU at 0000:00:00.2 cap 0x40 AMD-Vi: Interrupt remapping enabled AMD-Vi: Initialized for Passthrough Mode I tried also appending iommu=1 per this page http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/How_to_assign_devices_with_VT-d_in_KVM and got the same results.

WeeboTech Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Perhaps good to mention (again) that perl and python packages are dropped too in this release ... it's more for developpers I know! So this means that perl is no longer included in the OS? Link to comment

peter_sm Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Big issue in the new VM manager. When try to set up a new Windows VM from scratch...... I see this issues .... Cant get VirtIO Drivers ISO stored, revert to blank after clicking update. BIOS: is disabled, cant shift to seabios after selected OVMF Don't show the passtrough GPU, only VNC are available. Cant shift between machines i440 & Q35, revert to i440 after clicking update. Hyper-V: revert to no after clicking update. Maybe it's more ....... EDIT Yes, one more thing for the VM manager, I'm missing a OSX icon my syslinux kernel /bzimage append pcie_acs_override=downstream pci-stub.ids=8086:1e31 initrd=/bzroot EDIT 2 I like the new style of the VM manager! Great work on that ! //Peter Link to comment
