unRAID Server Release 6.2.0-rc2 Available


Recommended Posts

Sometimes I despair over the internet.

 

So much discussion over one line of change log just to help out users who dont read the forum (most). Who cares if its not the 100% right thing to do when 7 words can save bunch of users a headache.

 

oh well, forget I asked :)

That wouldn't even be needed if the preclear plugin author had properly setup their plugin xml files.

I agree with you NAS. I wouldn't expect LT to check every plugin for compatibility (nor do I tihnk you do), but when a plugin of such wide use has a known issue it couldn't hurt to add it to the OP as a "known issue" when such issues are brought to the attention of LT.

 

Certainly they've gone through more trouble adding drivers "per user request" or enabling hard links in shfs only to plan to remove it later.

By doing that, the implication is that it is a fault of LT and/or they are responsible to fix it rather than the plugin authors.

AND/OR, with the benefit of twenty-twenty hindsight (and some Monday morning quarterbacking), a second thread had been started when the preclear.beta plugin was released.  The confusion factor would be one-tenth of what it is today...

KNOWN ISSUES: Preclear plugin v199.45 needed with this version of unRAID, prior versions fail.

 

Hardly an implication that this is LT's fault.

Even more obvious, just to show how ridiculous it is to be arguing over this ...

!!! THIS IS NOT A LIMETECH ISSUE. THIS IS A COURTESY NOTIFICATION !!!

100% right.  It is ridiculous arguing over who's responsibility it is...

I personally feel (and reinforced by years of experience in my working career) that infant mortality is still an issue with all things electrical and mechanical so some type of preburn is desirable. 

 

The main reason that many folks use their server to do this preburn is that it is 'on' anyway.  (My other PC's are always shutdown at night and at other times during the day.) And there are a lot of CPU cycles available that would be unused other wise.  And there is no worry that I might 'accidentally' terminate the process as once I start the preclear on the server, I can close the window and reopen it when I feel it is necessary to check process.

 

I agree, the real reason I've always used pre-clear ws to force a bad drive to fail before it's in use.  I only run 2 or 3 passes, some do more.  I would not get rid of preclear.

I agree because the party that is best in position to address the issue is the Plugin Author. All they need to do is update their plugin(s) to properly include min and max versions. :)

I almost hate to bring this up BUT the original plugin works perfectly with 6.2!!!!  It is the the shell script which the user has to download separately and place in the proper directory that has the issue.  And that was caused when (as I remember it) a decision was made to drop a shell command from the latest version of the kernel.

What will likely happen is that people will upgrade to 6.2 and later try to preclear a disk using the incompatible script. It'll fail. They'll want to know why. They'll most likely visit the forum thread dedicated to the preclear script. As long as it's mentioned there on the first post what versions of UNRAID it's compatible with, people should find the clue they wish to purchase.

Your recommendation to me was do not upgrate to beta builds without any experience with Linux / unraid system.

RC2 works stable now ? Can i upgrade without much experience...? :)

 

A personal choice; but I've found that RC2 is very stable, so it shouldn't be an issue.    However ... the only really compelling feature over the final 6.1 release is dual parity => if you're not planning to add a 2nd parity disk, you may indeed want to wait for the final release.

If it is for a production but non critical system I would normally say an absolute YES to upgrading to an unRAID RC. However as I understand it the beta call home is still in place and as such should the internet "licensing" server go offline or be uncontactable your production server would fail to boot.

 

Important: I am not 100% sure if this statement is true as I dont think anyone knows exactly what passes to between the systems but it seems to be the logical interpretation of "Your server must have access to the Internet to use the unRAID 6.2 rc." and if so that is a extra factor to take into account.

 

The more RC testers the better but eyes should be open going in.

"- added Adaptec HBA 1000-8i drivers per user request"

 

Is the 1000-16i included in this driver?  I assume the drivers could be similar or the same.  Was possibly thinking about getting one for a future build.

Yes, the driver we added includes support for:

Adaptec HBA 1000-8e

Adaptec HBA 1000-8i

Adaptec HBA 1000-8i8e

Adaptec HBA 1000-16e

Adaptec HBA 1000-16i

Hi,

 

just checking to see if the recent betas and RC versions have 'fixed' the issue where unraid does not appear in windows 10 network?

 

I hoped it would, with various samba updates, but on RC2 now and still no luck.

 

Yes I can browse by pasting in IP address directly, have checked to make sure unraid the local master etc.

 

will be interested to hear if anyone else still has this issue

 

thanks,
