Most RELIABLE UnRAID version ??

[garycase]

Just curious what the long-time users opinions are r.e. the most stable, reliable version of UnRAID.

 

I have a test server I put together last summer that now has 145 days of Uptime running v4.5.4

 

I just built a new, larger server with a Pro license and used 4.5.6 ... so far it seems very stable (but it's only been about a week).    I noticed in reviewing the various posts that there were several "whoops" in the releases over the past year -- 4.5.3;  4.5.5;  and the abortive 4.5.7 & 4.5.8 releases.

 

I just want this to be a "use-it-and-forget" box ... rarely (if ever) upgrading it except for failed disks [i've already got it fully populated] => so I want to use the most rock-solid release available.    I also plan to build one more virtually identical box in the next few months.

 

My SOLE purpose for these servers is storage -- the only add-in I need is UPS control ... so I've installed UnMenu and added the clean shutdown and APC UPS control packages.    No need for anything more exotic -- but I want the most rock-solid, stable system I can get.

 

The only "glitch" I've noted in 4.5.4 (which is also in 4.5.6) is the "too many files" error with Windows 7 when copying large numbers of files ... but this is easily fixed by adding the "ulimit -n 20000" line to ident.cfg (thanks to Joe L for this !!)      With that change, these seem like VERY stable releases.

 

Just interested in other opinions/experiences.

I'm rocking 4.5.4 as well.

 

I've turned it on and off several times only because I've been tinkering with it trying little addons or upgrading drives.

 

I've had zero noticeable issues with it.

My live box is v4.5.6 currently will put 4.6 on the xmas break, not due to need to fix anything simply because its available. V4.5.4 was also stable for me.

 

My test box is running 5.0b2 which is also stable.
