SMB Speeds? as a quick test I tried it to see vm performance changes. on a 7 thread OS X vm (8thread processor,) before adding " 'pti=off' the vm scored between 363-375 in cinebench. After adding and rebooting, the vm benchmarked at 360-375. This is with the vm running on isolated cores, with an emulator pin set to core 0, sharing it with unRaid. These scores make sense I believe, since unRaid is only minimally responsible for how the vm performs (emulator management which usually uses about 8-25% of a given thread it is pinned to on this machine.) So if my understanding is correct, even if it hits 30% decrease in performance, it shouldn't affect vm's that much and would rather be more dependent on the fix implemented by the vm os. But even in terms of the vm os fix, due to the nature of synthetic benchmarks, the score may also not be affected. OR the added 'pti=off' doesn't do anything. I don't have time to rollback to find out how it compares vs previous RC's. I did not test any other situations in regards to dockers/transfers/etc because I was only on my 2 users/1cpu server at the time.

As a Haswell CPU user I hope your preliminary testing is correct!
January 10, 20188 yr To my knowledge, no one has ever managed to get a 30% speed reduction in a real-world installation. The figure comes from a synthetic test.
January 10, 20188 yr So it seems same as some youtubers researched (but without unraid) mostly changed in a margin of error. But still, some official testing, would be cool. Edited January 10, 20188 yr by nuhll

Bugs: If you want to report an issue, please start a new topic in this board. Update OS (-rc5) Instead of bundling an "unRAID Server" plugin on the Plugins page, there is a new page on the Tools menu in the About section called 'Update OS'. Here you can check for a new unRAID OS release as well as switch between the latest release in the stable branch or the next branch. In addition there is a separate control on the Notification Settings page that configures whether or not to automatically check Hello, I have the latest stable version 6.3.5. I haven't checked in here in awhile, I was wondering why I haven't seen updates checking in the "Plugins" area. Now I see in Beta, there are. I would like to test and participate. Can I copy files to my USB like we used to to install the latest? I don't have the "Update OS" under "Tools" "About" as mentioned above, and I'm sure its because I'm not using Beta. Sorry, this is probably a very simple question, I'm a little rusty, thanks to UnRAID working so well I just forgot about it for months! Thanks

January 11, 20188 yr Terminal appears to be broke in this version, running Firefox 57.0.4 can get the menu but cannot navigate from this screen! Edited January 11, 20188 yr by ajgoyt show image
