unRAID 4.7 kernel with md driver bugfix - First release to testers


Recommended Posts

I've backported the bugfix from the 5.0beta series to the 4.7 kernel.

 

Download the updated bzimage and bzroot files here.

 

Changes:

* Backport 5.0beta8 driver code (SG_IO spindown, unraid.c bugfix, etc)

* Enable Marvell 9125/9128 SATA chipsets (Rocket 62X cards)

* Powernow/Speedstep modules

* MPT2SAS modules v03.100.03.00 (LSI SAS drivers)**

* LZMA kernel and bzroot compression (much smaller bzimage and bzroot)

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT use this with your production array yet.  I have successfully done a replace disk procedure, but want many others to test this before I am comfortable with production use.

 

Note that this kernel is optimized for AMD (what I have) but will work just fine with Intel.  Once we are more certain this version is stable I will release an Intel optimized version.

** Although spindown works with my reflashed M1015 card, my syslog fills quickly with harmless SCSI sense errors.  It is my theory that the GUI is doing something the driver does not like, and as a result it appears the GUI does not seem to know that the drive is actually spun down -- it continually reissues spindown commands.  Also, temperatures are not available via this driver as the GUI would need to be updated with the new temperature routines from the 5.0beta line.  That is entirely in Lime Tech's hands.
