unRAID 5.0b6a - "Stable" Beta
MortenSchmidt:
Good post - since this was shared a while ago, are there any of the betas after 8d that could also be considered a "stable beta"?
The reason I ask is that 5.0 Beta 8d contains a fix for the Data Rebuild Bug which is present in prior 5.0 betas as well as 4.7 and prior stable releases (well, depending on Your definition 4.7 might no longer really be considered stable).
In Tom's own words, "There's a critical bug fix in this release having to do with data rebuild. There is a corner case that comes up where, if during a data rebuild of a disabled disk (or disk replaced with a larger one), if a write-request occurs for another disk in the same stripe for the disk currently being rebuilt, it's possible the data for the disk being rebuilt is not actually written. Later, this will cause a Parity Check 'sync error'. If you are running any previous 5.0-beta release, please upgrade to this release. In addition, I will be updating the 4.7 series (to 4.7.1) with the same parity sync bug fix." (see here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13866.0)
For me personally, upgrading to a beta release on my production server is against my philosophy, but in this case, since I've been having this data corruption myself, and because 4.7.1 still hasn't come out (been 5 months now), I just might entertain that idea to run a beta to get the Data Rebuild Bug fix.
Any takers on post-8d betas? Have people been running one long enough to call is stable (even with the quotation marks..)? Has it been tried with SASLP-MV8 controller? Is there something about a specific issue with an LSI controller?

I've been running beta12a with an IBM BR10i for a couple months now, as beta13/14 have problems with the LSI controllers.
MortenSchmidt:
A couple of people have started reporting their experiences with 12a here:

Maybe I'll have a look the 12a release thread when I get the time... I sure with someone would maintain a "Known Issues" list of acknowledged bugs instead of me having to wade through 24 pages of forum posts, trying to wade out user errors from actual bugs to get some kind of overview.

somebody with the right powers should change the title for this thread to 5b12A :P

I beg to disagree.
I am running 5b6a on my production machine right now as it has been the most stable for me.
