Patch release 4.3.1 is available.  This fixes yet another bug with "clearing new disks".

 

unRAID Server 4.3.1 Release Notes
=================================

IMPORTANT: this release includes a critical bug fix.  If you are running 4.3-beta4 or higher, and have added a New disk to an existing array, parity may be incorrect, and you must run a Parity-Check operation.  Note: If Parity-Check detects any parity mismatches, they will be corrected.


Upgrade Instructions (Please Read Carefully)
============================================

If you are currently running unRAID Server 4.2-beta1 or higher (including 4.2.x 'final'), please copy the following files from the new release to the root of your Flash device:
    bzimage
    bzroot

If you are currently running unRAID server 4.0 or 4.1, please copy the following files from the new release to the root of your Flash device:
    bzimage
    bzroot
    syslinux.cfg
    menu.c32
    memtest

This can be done either by plugging the Flash into your PC or, by copying the files to the 'flash' share on your running server.  The server must then be rebooted.

If you are currently running unRAID Server 3.0-beta1 or higher, please follow these steps to upgrade:

1. Referring to the System Management Utility 'Main' page, make a note of each disks's model/serial number; you will need this information later.

2. Shut down your server, remove the Flash and plug it into your PC.

3. Right-click your Flash device listed under My Computer and select Properties.  Make sure the volume label is set to "UNRAID" (without the quotes) and click OK.  You do NOT need to format the Flash.

4. Copy the files from the new release to the root of your Flash device.

5. Right-click your Flash device listed under My Computer and select Eject.  Remove the Flash, install in your server and power-up.

6. After your server has booted up, the System Management Utility 'Main' page will probably show no devices; this is OK, navigate to the 'Devices' page. Using the model/serial number information gathered in step 1, assign each of your hard drives to the correct disk slot.

7. Go back to the 'Main' page and your devices should appear correctly.  You may now Start the array.


If you are installing this release to a new Flash, please refer to instructions on our website at:

Good idea.  We'll be spending much more time on the documentation and website starting tomorrow.

 

And to all you fathers: Happy Father's Day!

okay, so that begs the question .... who's the most "experienced" father around here ???  My oldest is 37... :'(

 

;D

 

Well, I've been father to a lot of kids because my wife and i are foster carers, but i doubt any of them are a sold as 37 (they would only be a year younger than me). Father's day was a lot of fun - and very hectic.  :)

Looks like the chown command is not properly implemented in the user file system.

My testing shows that this issue still haunts us.  This was originally discussed in the 4.3-beta6 thread.

 

Fixed in 4.3.2.

 

Thank you... thank you... thank you..

The ownership issue is killing me with rsync, I had to resort to using the regular disk shares.
