Your screenshots show some plugins and/or scripts getting invoked at startup.

First thing to do is to start in safe mode and retest.

 

thanks for taking a look, when i look at the screens i rather may would say it was either the power down ( cause version 682) or the update did fail cause it was still at v682, nevermind, as mentioned the powerdown and startup then went fine and all is running on v683 now.

 

btw, thanks for adding the docker network override feature from the "wishlist"

Updated both servers without any problems from 6.8.2. Thank you all for your continued hard work on improving Unraid.

Yes we are preparing a 6.9 beta release with 5.5.8 kernel, and then move to 5.6 kernel ultimately.

Really looking forward to this. Updated from 6.8.2 without issue.

Update from 6.8.2 went fine so far. Unraid is back up runing with all VMs and Dockers. Small thing i noticed is by opening the "system logs" under tools the orange animated loading stripes showed up for split second and dissappeared. Not happened before and doesn't look like it has any impact. Maybe only a small glitch.

 

Something that I already reported in the 6.8.2 release thread is some warning for my Intel nics during Unraid boot

Mar  7 14:14:16 UNRAID kernel: igb 0000:04:00.0 eth1: mixed HW and IP checksum settings.
Mar  7 14:14:16 UNRAID kernel: igb 0000:06:00.0 eth2: mixed HW and IP checksum settings.
.

Mar  7 14:14:16 UNRAID kernel: igb 0000:04:00.0 eth0: mixed HW and IP checksum settings.
Mar  7 14:14:16 UNRAID kernel: igb 0000:04:00.0 eth0: mixed HW and IP checksum settings.
.

Not sure how to interpret this warning. Looks like network has no issues so far.

 

And another warning that still comes up since 6.8.2 is the following:

Mar  7 14:27:13 UNRAID inotifywait[7814]: Failed to watch /mnt/disk2; upper limit on inotify watches reached!
Mar  7 14:27:13 UNRAID inotifywait[7814]: Please increase the amount of inotify watches allowed per user via `/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches'.

Smart values for the disk are ok. If someone is able to help me to understand these warnings please feel free to explain it. Thanks!

You can adjust the watches via the tips & tweaks plugin  (You've got a plugin or something else that is actively watching for changes on the drives)

Thanks for the hint. It's currently set to the default of 524288. Can you explain what this setting is for and maybe why only disk 2 shows these warnings?

[Squid]

It's a maximum memory value for the data required to monitor files / folders for changes (ie: Dynamix File Integrity, et al)  Just increase it (double it?)

[bastl]

@Squid After reading the inotify man page I doubled it to 1048576 (1G). Let's see if the warning is gone.

How exactly do we setup this new container VPN feature?  Is the feature a way to create a VPN client connection and have any container route through that connection?

Any feedback on this question?  I'm currently using binhex's deluge-privoxy container to route other containers through a VPN.  It works, but it is kind of fragile, it would be great if there was a better supported mechanism to accomplish this setup.

Uneventful update from 6.8.2. Thank you.

 

The Dynamix File Integrity plugin is still not Unraid 6.8 compatible (it tries and fails to run its scheduled check directly from the boot flash). I know it isn't the fault of this specific release and it has been mentioned in the support thread for that plugin but it still remains broken.

Yeah, there is a comment within Apps regarding that.  If the plugin wasn't still functional in other respects, it would have been blacklisted from Apps completely.  But, IMHO background checking of the files is a very important aspect of the plugin and this should be fixed asap.

I I guess, I have some work to do tomorrow, when I have some spare time...

Can you please confirm if you included the new ASPEED drivers in this update?

 

Supermicro came back and said I now need to update the ASPEED drivers inside Unraid before we can update the BMC fw.

 

Here is the link to the new drivers, https://www.supermicro.com/wftp/driver/VGA/ASPEED/ASPEED.zip

 

Would be great if these new drivers were added to Unraid. I posted this in the Feature Request thread.

 

I'm told that after I do this, my video output will be restored when running the new BMC fw. 

 

I forgot to mention that Support had me roll back the BMC fw to 1.48 and  the video is once again working normal.  The ASPEED drivers upgrade and the BMC fw to the latest  contains Security fixes.

 

Thank you!

My upgrade went well.  Just incase something goes wrong; don't forget to backup your flash drive before upgrading.

[highdefinitely]

Updated two servers from 6.8.2 without an issue whatsoever, as almost expected these days. Thanks for the great job unRAID team!

 

I expect more headaches once we move to the new Linux Kernel, but for now, things run smoothly.

[Marv]

Upgade went without any issue for me and everyhing is working as expected.

But I noticed that my server needs much more time to boot now.

Is there anything in the changelog that can explain this?

What do we mean by "Add docker container VPN network support." I'm running openvpn as on a docker so this seems intriguing to me but I'm not really sure what it means.

This question has been answered I think x3 in this topic.

No sorry, will get into next release (if they build correctly).

Would be great if S/M would just merge them in-tree.

I just read through all the post again, I'm sorry I don't see it. I see one link to an external page but it's way over my head. I see multiple people asking what this is and I'm not seeing any responses to it. maybe I'm blind

If I'm reading correctly and you just need firmware updated, it may be possible to boot from something other than unraid to do that...
