Upgraded perfectly.

 

In regards to parity 2, the warnings have gone but i now get the following message on boot:

 

unRAID Parity2 message: 18-03-2016 20:44

Notice [ARCHANGEL] - Parity2 returned to normal operation

No device identification ()

 

Only as tiny one but hey, its something i noticed :) Keep up the great work, now to try my VM's out

Yes I believe that is an artifact due to the upgrade.  I don't think it should happen again, but report back if it does.

Wasn't called out as a fix or improvement in beta 19, but UnRaid still hangs on boot on one of my systems unless VT-d is explicitly disabled in bios as was my experience with beta 18.  It wasn't an issue on the affected hardware platform with 6.1.9.  :-\

Be careful with using HP RAID/HBAs.  I've used a number of older DL380s for ceph development and they suck, either using multiple RAID0 to simulate an HBA mode or on the newer models with an official "HBA" mode.  the hpsas drivers/cards are absolute shite on ubuntu in my testing.

So something newer like a LSI SAS 9300-8e seems to work fine with no issues? (The card is direct HBA)

Try updating the BIOS in the machine.  VT-d works fine on the three systems I've tried b18 on.

That or try setting iommu=nopt in your syslinux.cfg file.

For both .18 and .19 the array won't auto start.  I have to start manually.

 

Not sure if it's my setup or some config I need to change.

 

Also every time I reboot the weburl takes me to the licensing page - is this expected?  I hit DONE and nothing ever happens.

Please post your diagnostics.

Thanks for the suggestions.  BIOS is already at the latest revision, and iommu=nopt didn't make a difference.

Why do we have to keep asking people to post their diagnostics zip file?  We have made every effort to make this easy and sanitize personal info, even the names of your shares.

 

I am going to just plain DELETE WITHOUT WARNING posts that talk about problems that don't also include this attachment (unless the problem doesn't let you get the diagnostics).

 

It is a waste of our time dealing with this, and if you don't want to comply, please don't use beta releases.

Same Here.

 

Dual Parity System. Diagnostics attached.

 

Thanks for the log.  There is a bug that is causing this because you have a static IP address. Will fix in next release.

 

Edit: a workaround would be to put this line in your 'go' file before 'emhttp' is invoked:

 

sleep 5

 

(But don't forget to remove it once this bug gets fixed)

All my disks are missing now (all on M1015 IT mode)

 

 

i've got 2 of those in my server and no issues here.

 

Super weird.  I reverted back to beta18, same deal no disks.  I reverted further back to 6.1.9 and my cards were detected then upgraded to beta19 with no issues....

In reference to the bug report above, here's the capture from ipmi console.

 

Edit: This is with a freshly formatted usb which was formatted and labelled as per spec using windows epxlorer and not rufus as I was previously using.  Reverting back to 6.1.9 fixes the issue so must be kernel or driver related.  Motherboard is a SuperMicro  X10SL7-F (http://www.supermicro.co.uk/products/motherboard/Xeon/C220/X10SL7-F.cfm) and the usb stick is connected to a USB2 port which is as far as I'm aware connected to an Intel® C222 Express PCH controller.
