Unraid 6.12.0-rc6 Now Available

6 12 0 rc 700 400 px 1400 600 px 2

For exclusive shares, we've made an implementation change. Due to issues using bind-mounts with ZFS pools with internal nested child datasets, symlinks are created in /mnt/user instead.

For example, for an exclusive share named "myshare" which exists only on "mypool" this symlink is generated:

/mnt/user/myshare -> /mnt/mypool/myshare

This implementation is cleaner and provides the same benefits of faster throughput.

Version 6.12.0-rc6 2023-05-17

Changes vs. 6.12.0-rc5

  • Use symlinks instead of bind-mounts for exclusive shares.
  • Fix share rename when share contains space and is located on zfs pool.
  • Share Edit: allow 1 letter names

Network Improvements:

  • rc.docker - suppress ipv6 link-local address for docker0 and shim interfaces when set as ipv4 only
  • rc.avahidaemon - let service listen on regular interfaces only which have an IP address, this includes the primary interface + set ipv4 / ipv6 support
  • rc.samba - let smb, nmb service listen on regular interfaces only which have an IP address, this includes the primary interface + set ipv4 / ipv6 support (also for wsdd2)
  • rc.ssh - listen on regular interfaces only which have an IP address, this includes the primary interface + set ipv4 / ipv6 support
  • rc.inet1 - add iptables processing to bridge interfaces to make them operate similarly as macvlan interfaces
  • create_network_ini - restart smb when network changes are done

VMs:

  • fixed notification subject
  • TRIM: fix operation when ZFS is not active

Network Settings:

  • fix a bug in the description field
  • bash_completion: version 2.11 docker: version 23.0.6
  • Use 'zfs set atime=off' Upon root dataset mount; child datasets should inherit this setting.
  • Continue format if blkdiscard command fails.
  • Share Edit: warn when invalid zfs name is used
  • Lock / unlock button: switch green / red color
    • Green is normal state (page is locked)
    • Red is attention state (page is unlocked)
