Away from home at the moment, but nice to see docker upgrade...

Nice update!!  Upgrade went smoothly.

 

Just wondering, are we going to be able to take advantage of everything that Docker 1.12 brings straight away? Or will we need to remove / re-add the docker image again?

You shouldn't need to remove / re-add any Docker containers/images with this new Docker version.

Good work - thanks. Update went smoothly!

 

Update: Nerd Package is not loading anymore since the upgrade to rc2 (packages are still avaialable but the GUI is just showing "Please wait, retrieving plugin information ..." forever.

This should really help in troubleshooting shutdown issues:

 

# (Try) to stop the array
echo "Waiting $TIMEOUT seconds for graceful shutdown..."
if ! timeout $TIMEOUT /usr/bin/wget -q -O - localhost:$PORT/update.htm?cmdStop=apply >/dev/null ;then
  echo "Forcing shutdown..."
  logger "Active pids left on md devices"
  /usr/bin/fuser -mv /dev/md* 2>&1 | logger
  /usr/local/sbin/diagnostics
fi

 

With this addition I feel that the shutdown issues have been addressed.

 

Thank you.

My shutdown to finish this update on 6.3.0-rc1 was the first time my machine shutdown correctly in awhile.

This issue is still happening in 6.3.0 RC2

Updated with no issues. Vm start up seems to be mostly resolved now. Its not as fast as 6.2.1 but 3/4 seconds wait is nothing

 

Great job!

UD has been updated to be more in line with the fixes in 6.3.0-rc2 that put the stop_services event before services are stopped and not before the VMs and Dockers are stopped.

 

Anyone using a UD mounted disk for VMs and/or Dockers will need to update to 6.3.0-rc2 before updating UD.  Because of an issue with the stop_services event being before VMs and Dockers were stopped in previous versions, UD had to use the unmounting_disks event.  This is not the appropriate event for UD because it has to do some samba configurations to un-share devices, but the services are stopped at this point.

 

UD mounted devices are now unmounted on the stop_services event that is after the VMs and Dockers are stopped, but before samba is stopped.

 

This only affects 6.3.0.  All previous versions still shutdown at the unmounting_disks events.  A decision is made on which event to use when UD in installed based on the version of unRAID it is installed on.

WOW

 

Have to really congratulate the team on the huge speed increase (probably due to PHP7).

 

Previously the WIP Ransomware Protection plugin was averaging ~400 Hardlinks created per second onto user shares.  Now with RC2, I'm averaging creating about 4200 4400 hardlinks / second (using the identical code)

 

Not to mention that even CA is noticeably "snappier" in response time

VM startup fixed.

 

 

Problem that might have started with RC1 but still present in RC2 - I can't even stop my array as a precursor to shutdown.  I have to hit the power button and wait 60 seconds for the graceful shutdown.

 

 

I just got two new drives today and it won't let me preclear - it just gets stuck on 'please wait' retrieving information.  I successfully pre-cleared on RC1.

Just upgraded from rc-1 to rc-2 and restarted the system. think i may have corrupted something. using safari and chrome and getting the following message at the top with the screen looking as follows:

 

Warning: syntax error, unexpected '~' in /boot/config/plugins/dynamix/dynamix.cfg on line 1 in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/include/Wrappers.php on line 19 Warning: array_replace_recursive(): Argument #2 is not an array in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/include/Wrappers.php on line 19 Warning: extract() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/template.php on line 30

 

Any ideas??

 

*SOLVED - i think the dynamix.cfg file got corrupted somehow. replaced it with an old copy. i hope i didn't mess anything up.

Does this 6.3 rc branch have the latest QEMU/KVM build?

Yes, it's using QEMU 2.7 (latest version).

Thank you for this release!

 

docker now supports udev symlinks & relative paths so I can use my zwave USB stick with HASS reliably.

 

I like the new popup dialogs for stopping the array and such..

 

but it would be nice to have the same thing when you stop the parity check.. right now it just stops the check instantly..
