limetech Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 To install this release, navigate to Plugins/Install Plugin and paste the following link into the box and click Install: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/limetech/unRAIDServer-6.1-rc/master/unRAIDServer.plg This is a bug-fix release. We have not addressed the v5-to-v6 upgrade where an old version of syslinux is on your USB Flash device. That's next on the plate, but I wanted to get this out there since it addresses other issues such as inability to check Docker container updates. If this is you first go with version 6.1, please read the -rc1 announcement post as well: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=41617.0 What's coming in 6.2? After 6.1 'stable' is released, the next significant feature for 6.2 will be double-parity protection using Reed-Solomon algorithm for second "parity" disk (a.k.a., "P+Q"). We plan on a brief closed beta and then a (hopefully) brief public beta. This will be a true beta, meaning use on test server because data could be at risk - though not really because I always write bug-free code More on this later.... unRAID Server Version 6.1-rc2 Release Notes =============================================== Security Advisory updates (6.1-rc1) ----------------------------------- - ntp: 4.2.8p3 (SSA:2015-188-03) - openssl: 1.0.1p (SSA:2015-190-01) Other changes (6.1-rc1) ----------------------- - btrfs-progs: version 4.1.0 - docker: version 1.7.1 - docker: less verbose logging by default - emhttp: fix: let Pro start regardless of attached device count - emhttp: bridge forward delay configurable - emhttp: support disk share export Yes/No/Auto - libvirt: version 1.2.17 - linux: version 4.1.1 - linux: support "Lite-On IT Corp. / Plextor M6e PCI Express SSD [Marvell 88SS9183] (rev 14)", see https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/2/226 - ntp: enable by default - php: version 5.4.42 - php: enable pcntl - smb: include linux "hidden" objects in directory listings - unRAIDServer.plg: improvements in unRAID-5 update: ping google instead of local gateway to determine if network up - vm.manager: support OpenELEC template - webGui: include linux "hidden" objects in directory listings - webGui: integrate latest dynamix changes; many changes, refer to github - webGui: install key: accept pre-keyserver links to key files - webGui: rearrange columns on Main page Other changes (6.1-rc2) ----------------------- - emhttp: properly handle non-rotational devices standby mode (ie, 'spindown') - emhttp: require credentials on all accesses, not just webGui pages - emhttp: get rid of passing arbitrary commands in URL - webGui: added "Hide dot files" control on SMB Settings page - webGui: fix issues with uploading thumbnails, banner - webGui: fix notifications not initialized on reboot - webGui: fix docker update regression introduced in 6.1-rc1 Quote Link to comment
sparklyballs Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 main news here.. the dual-parity is coming bit Quote Link to comment
jbrodriguez Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 wow, dual parity just a minor upgrade ? I would call it unRAID 7 !! great news !!! Quote Link to comment
abs0lut.zer0 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 early question: will the second parity disk count as one of the disks for the array or is the parity one [even though there is two disks in it?] hope I'm making sense... thank you... Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I'm liking the release cadence. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Did something change in the openbox() routine between 6.1rc-1 and 6.1rc-2? CA's openbox pop ups for descriptions aren't working under rc-2... Quote Link to comment
limetech Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 early question: will the second parity disk count as one of the disks for the array or is the parity one [even though there is two disks in it?] hope I'm making sense... thank you... It's another disk named "Parity 2". Even though strictly speaking the math is not simply XOR. Quote Link to comment

CA's openbox pop ups for descriptions aren't working under rc-2... Yes, you cannot pass an absolute path as the 'command', unless the command is a php script. Any such commands must exist in /usr/local/sbin. Take a look at how openBox (and openWindow) are used now in webGui. Quote Link to comment

Take a look at how openBox (and openWindow) are used now in webGui. ok... Not the end of the world. Got CA working again. Now just to add some intelligence for it to figure out what version its running on since pre rc-2 I *think* requires absolute paths. Will have an update for CA in about an hour. The other minor plugins of mine (docker search & docker categorizer) are a different story, since they use bash in their pop up. Will only take a day or two to update those to strictly php.

johnodon Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 To install this release, navigate to Plugins/Install Plugin and paste the following link into the box and click Install: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/limetech/unRAIDServer-6.1-rc/master/unRAIDServer.plg I thought that subsequent RC releases beyond RC1 would allow upgrading from within the Plugins tab. Did the philosophy change? John Quote Link to comment

gubbgnutten Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 ...here I was just looking forward to a stable 6.1, and now you tease me with 6.2 and PQ? Evil! Nah. Thanks for the heads up. Time for me to start investigating my options for controllers, I'm all out of SATA ports... Also time to start looking for a bunch of low-capacity drives for a test server... Quote Link to comment
MyKroFt Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Since updating to RC2 and reboot - the stock banner now longer shows on the top of the web UI pages, checking the display settings - it is set to display and shows the stock banner below it if a user wants to change it.....

splnut Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 In RC1, I tried to install the OE virtual machine. When I clicked the download button, it changed to "Downloading". I just upgraded to RC2 and it still says downloading. How can I clear this? I've tried 2 browsers and cleared cache. Nothing has been downloaded to the specified download location.

itimpi Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I was experimenting with the new option to control whether disk shares should be allowed or not. I set it to "Yes" to allow disk shares to be seen. I then went to the Shares->Disk Shares page as I like to have my disks available as hidden shares. The following thoughts occurred to me: It would be useful if the Global Share Settings had another option of "Yes (hidden)" so that I did not have to change each disk share individually It would be useful to know the state of each Disk share on the Disk Shares page without the need to visit the details for each disk share individually. Ideally the Yes", "Yes (hidden", "No" setting could be displayed at the top level. If it is undesirable to add another column, perhaps the Comments field can be used for this as it does not appear to be something the user can define for Disk shares. On closer examination of the Disk Shares page I can see that the security setting under the SMB column implies the visibility as it is in italic for hidden shares, and absent for shares that are not visible. Maybe this needs to be a bit more explicit as it is easy to miss the subtle distinction between italic and normal fonts. Quote Link to comment
