limetech Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Download Clicking 'Check for Updates' on the Plugins page is the preferred way to upgrade.

Carpet3 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Nice to see another update (Although I was a bit disappointed when I saw 6.1.8 and not 6.2) Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 ... - "system" plugin directory (/boot/plugins) is deprecated ... [/code] I can not find this folder on either of my ver6 Flash Drives. (I upgrade by a virgin install on the Flash Drives and copying over the configurations files from ver 5.) Is it safe to assume that this directory/folder is a leftover from version 5? Is the notification at this time simply a bit of housekeeping or is there something else involved? Quote Link to comment
JM2005 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Updated without any issues. Keep up the Good Work! Thanks Quote Link to comment
interwebtech Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Uneventful upgrade. Noticed a chmod error with Nerdpack on boot. Will post in proper thread for that. Quote Link to comment

Is it safe to assume that this directory/folder is a leftover from version 5? Is the notification at this time simply a bit of housekeeping or is there something else involved? Just housekeeping; it's not automatically created by any release. Not sure it was ever used, even in v5. There is support for loading plugins from that directory via /etc/rc.d/rc.local during startup (they will load before plugins located in /boot/config/plugins - the usual place for them). I didn't want to completely remove that support in case there are plugins that use it. Hopefully someone will chime in here if so... Quote Link to comment

On v5 the core dynamix was installed from /boot/plugins so it could install before any of the dynamix plugins installed from /boot/config/plugins. Lots of users never quite got that right and syslogs would show things installing from either place, and dynamix plugins installing (actually, failing to install) before dynamix, etc. Quote Link to comment

I have some of my own custom packages (Slackware based) in that directory, such as oident. Does this mean going forward with 6.2 or later that I now have to figure out how to make an unraid plugin wrapping these standard slackware packages? Quote Link to comment

Probably we'll leave it as-is. The motivation is to make things simpler for end users. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 As usual a new release happens when my server is in the middle of a multi-day operation. Probably got at least 2 more days rsyncing about 12TB to my new (old) backup server. Quote Link to comment

There are lots of goodies in there Now if it would be me I would bring out a 6.1.8 that brings in a lot of the technical stuff under the hood, throw that in the wild for a couple of days to see if it performs as expected, then I would bring out 6.2 that would be activating a lot of that stuff for the user.. But thats only me :-) Quote Link to comment
danioj Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Another wonderfully very uneventful upgrade. Excellent, thank you. I did notice one thing I have not noticed before (if indeed it has been this way before) - that is that when unRAID finished installing and the line requests you restart to complete the upgrade - the tick box and button to "Remove" ... :o :o ... was available for selection and clicking!!!! WTF!!!!! See attached Screenshot!! I was mildly (OK I sooooo wanted to do it ) tempted to put a "tick" in the checkbox and click "Remove" and see what happens Chickened out though as it still was my Backup Server and not my Test Server (which doesn't have any disks yet). Minor EDIT: I did notice this: Spinning up all drives...Start array...Mounting disks...Restart SMB...Start NFS...Processing Packages...All packages processedStarting Docker... Never seen the "Processing Packages...All packages processed" thing before. However that might just be me and its clearly NOT a bug BUT it seems that there is a missing "..." between "All packages processed" and "Starting Docker" to be consistent with the rest of the message!

How long am I meant to wait before upgrading manually? The sync normally takes a minute or so. It sounds as if the upgrade finished, but something is stopping the sync from completing. It might be worth checking the syslog to see if it shows any errors. If at all possible obtain the diagnostics via Tools->Diagnostics or by using the 'diagnostics' command from a console/telnet session before rebooting. I expect that on a reboot it will come up on the new release and a manual update is not required. However it is a bit worrying that the sync did not finish. Quote Link to comment

Had to hard reboot the box, and it came back up with version 6.1.8. Could you not have simply killed the sync process? That might have allowed you to carry out some further diagnostics.
