6.4 Cache Issue Due to UAD Plugin

[whwunraid]

So this issue I have been seeing in the form about cache drives/pools getting scragged because of the faulty Unassigned Devices plugin.

At what point was this fixed, do not particularly want to go to 6.4 and find out I have to revert back fix and update again, that is just wrong.

So there should be a way to identify if this going to happen before making the update?

Also think this should have been disclosed or fixed prior to release, this did not show up in ANY of the release candidates?

 

Thanks for your thoughts... not being mean just calling it the way I see it, maybe I missed something.

At the time, UD was not faulty per se.  It does stand for "Unassigned Devices".  If anything, it was unRaid itself for accepting cache drives that didn't conform to it's partition "standard".

UD was long ago fixed (September 2017) to only format drives that are compliant with unRaid's standard partition scheme.

It is in the upgrade notes on the forum https://lime-technology.com/forums/topic/66327-unraid-os-version-640-stable-release-update-notes/

It's why UD was changed.

Did you format your cache drive using Unassigned Devices prior to September 2017?  If yes, then you're susceptible.  If not (only formatted it via unRaid) then you're good.  As far as some command / whatnot to tell you the info, I'm honestly not sure.

You can check using:

 

sfdisk -l /dev/sdX

Replace X with the correct letter, if the partition starts on sector 2048 you'll need to reformat.

Thanks guy will check that out.
