DownloadPlease note... this is a Beta. Even though there have been no significant changes in the unRAID driver, I recommend running -beta1 on a "test" server. Also note: there is a more involved update procedure... see below. Please use the new message board section specifically for this release. unRAID Server 5.0-beta1 Release Notes
=====================================
New Features:
- New extensible webGui architecure. Pages are rendered with PHP, but other methods are possible.
- New security model.
- Security is now available in 'Basic' verion. The feature differences between the different license key types are as follows:
Basic - support 3 array drives, no cache, no Active Directory support
Plus - support 6 array drives plus cache drive, no Active Directory support
Pro - support 21 array drives plus cache drive, Active Directory support
Other:
- Beta-1 release does not have all functionality yet:
No NFS.
No AFP.
No FTP.
No Active Directory (actually may work, not tested).
No "official" plugin scheme designed yet (this will be done with help from Community).
No event hooks for plugins (again, will be implemented with input from Community).
Changes from 4.5.6 to 5.0-beta1
-------------------------------
- Way too numerous to list. Only minor changes in the unRAID driver itself, so data transfer integrity should be safe.
Upgrade Instructions
====================
Please read carefully.
Because of the new share security model, some additional steps are necessary to upgrade from version 4.5.6:
1. Copy the 'bzimage' and 'bzroot' files from the zip file to your flash device.
2. If you are upgrading 'on-line', Stop the array and then delete these two files from the flash:
config/passwd
config/smbpasswd
(Sorry, you will need to re-create all your users after booting 5.0-beta1).
3. Reboot the server. When server has booted, after examining snazzy new webGui, navigate to the 'Utils' tab and select "New Permissions". This is a one-time operation to fix the file and directory permissions.

Man that's awesome! Well done. I'd love to try it out, but don't have a test server to test it on. Am looking forward to AFP immensely.

AFP support is the main reason for the change in security model. |

Tried this on my test server. First screen I'm presented with looks like this (seems difficult to read  ): Edit: Solved... Do NOT install php on your own. (I had the "php" package installed via unMENU. It was interpreting the pages instead of the lime-tech supplied code in emhttp.)To fix, go to the package-manager page in unMENU, disable the re-install on reboot for the "php" package Then, go to the Array Administration page in unMENU and stop the array Last, log in on the command line and type: reboot

I have to ask, will 5.0 add a 2nd parity drive?

Not yet. It's right in the first sentence of the first post: "there have been no significant changes in the unRAID driver" |

Looking good.  No refresh button ==> hit the browser refresh does the job. Refresh is faster then 4.5XX |

I created a new array from scratch with a spare drive I had lying around, that was partitioned into 3 ex2 partitions and a swap, and had other data on it.
When I created an array with it, it did not clear it first, but only requested a format, and then the array started right away. Is that expected behavior? Will it only be adding a drive to a protected array that will invoke clearing?

I don't think unRAID has ever cleared a disk if parity is not yet assigned, on any version. |

Makes sense... I just never noticed before because I always preclear.
