Next unRaid release - now that linux kernel 3.2 is released, I will integrate and post one more 5.0-beta, thereafter, 5.0-rc1, then 5.0 "final".

Tom - you think we'll see a 5.0 RC or at least another beta before you move?

I'm really running out of temp storage space off-array, and need to decide what to do next wrt storing files while waiting until I feel comfortable using my 3TB drives I have waiting, boxed.

No reason not to use 5.0-beta for 3TB drives.

Company - We are changing to a C-Corp and moving to San Diego, CA area sometime in February.  As soon as we have secured space out there I will post another announcement regarding this.  Probably the main thing anyone would care about is that once in CA, we have to start charging CA sales tax...

I know this is a late response, but I haven't been on the site in a while.

I'm no tax lawyer, but I think this is probably only true for the servers and physical products you sell, not the license keys.   I know we've been very careful at my company not to receive media, manuals, or other physical goods at our California locations on multimillion dollar software orders to avoid getting hit with the state sales tax.  That seems a little odd living in a state with no such provision, and a use-tax that explicitly covers those cases where you managed to dodge the sales tax, but it seems to hold up...

I'm running 20 x 3TBs on 5b14 without any issues whatsoever (have written around 12TB so far). Check my sig for more details.  I recommend not holding off using your 3TBs - although nothing in life is certain, my confidence in 5b14 is now extremely high.

I am also messing with/using 2x3TB Seagate drives on a 5.0b14 machine without any issues.  I precleared them (36ish hours a piece) and added them to the array.  Everything is looking good so far.

For me now it's a moot point - Tom says he's going to try to finish 5.0 (release) by end of Feb, and that's just fine for me.

Looking forward to it...

On the other hand, I'm running a much smaller configuration, and nothing larger than 2TB, but no release after beta11 works for me.

Do not forget that everyone who uses one of the most popular LSI chipset controller around has utter failures on anything beyond Beta-12.

It would take a miracle for 5.0 final to be out by end of March unless Tom reverts back to the older and more stable Linux Kernel 3.0.x series.

That may be a wise choice.  A stable 5.0 kernel, then onto a 5.1 beta cycle.
