2 days ago I took the plunge and upgraded from a 5.xx beta after running it for several years with no issues  to 6.2.4.

I had never upgraded earlier as it was working just fine and am a firm believer of if it ain't broke, don't change it.

 

However 2 parity drives was a big pull.. not worried about vm's or docker etc, as already have a standalone machine that runs that.

 

I upgraded, did a clean install, wiped out the flash card and started clean.

 

All was fine,  interface is nice!! - like it.

 

So everything is fine until about 20 hours into using it..  Then I see some apps complaining it cant see the share and starts alerting.  Check on local computer cannot access the share.

Cannot access it via the webui either.

 

Weird that one computer that was already attached can still see the shares though but no others in the house can.

Computer that can still see the shared SMB's cannot see the interface though, just times out.

 

I can still telnet into the unraid from any machine, though none can access the webui/shares now,  to start with they could.

 

Please keep in mind, no network changes have been made at all and the setup has worked fine for 2-3 years with no changes apart from disk additions.

 

So I am stumped.  Restarted Unraid, worked fine with all pc's using it, but after another 8 or so hours same issue... new connections not tolerated.  Some computers can still access shares but cant get into the webui.

 

Tempted to roll back to beta 13 i believe it was.. but hoping someone can help me

 

Any ideas?

A few users have reported similar issues when upgrading from v5 to v6 that were fixed by converting from Reiser to XFS, you have a large array so before embarking on that long task you should be able to confirm if that is the problem by using a XFS cache disk and limiting all writes to it for a few days by scheduling the mover to not run for say a week.
