No problems here upgrading from 1.05 to 1.06. Although I had problems logging in using ssh after the upgrade (password problems) but I'm just not sure if I really forgot the password or somehow the upgrade messed up the passwd file. Had to re-enable telnet and reassigned a password to root and no problems since!

I switched to 1.06 immediately it came out and have had very few problems with it, in fact, only one - it would not hibernate, but a reset to default (always a good idea after a firmware upgrade) and a re-configure fixed that.

Problems I have seen reported include email alerts no longer working and for some folk I think drive lights going pink for whatever reason.

I did notice a couple of quirks - the new "auto rebuild" feature doesn't seem to work quite the way I expected it to, and the UPS support, in my opinion leaves a lot to be desired - it appears to be a "default" NUT implementation with no provision for tweaking the shutdown parameters.  NUT's shutdown logic is quite basic and goes along these lines - IF the UPS is on battery AND IF the UPS battery status is low THEN initiate shutdown - making it virtually unuseable for me.

By the way - the UPS status is shown on the status page in place of the printer status, perhaps making it clear that it is intended to be either a UPS or a printer but not both - I have not personally tried it but folks who have connected both a UPS and a printer via a USB hub have reported strange & varied status displays.

Is there a firmware 1.06 with enabled telnet support? That would be grand because there is one for 1.05

Hi folks...  Been away for a while.   Looking to install 1.06 this weekend and need some advice.

Currently running 1.05.
2x 1 TB disks running in Raid-1.
Have fun_plug installed and running entirely off of a 16 gig USB stick.
SSH, fanctl, and syslogd are normally running.

With 1.06 I'd probably disable fanctl since fan shutoff is now standard functionality

Should I disable fun_plug before upgrading, then re-enable afterwards?
Will the fun_plug 0.5 still work OK without reinstalling?
Any issues with the raid array to consider?  (I do have a backup but would like to not have to reinitialize/restore)
Can I get by without resetting to factory defaults after upgrade?  I hate to reconfigure from scratch.

Thanks in advance.
Jim

What is this I hear about a bug which formats the wrong drive after replacing a bad drive?
With what version did it start and has it been corrected in 1.06?

I did the update to 1.06, reset to factory defaults, reconfigured in web gui, reinstalled Fun_plug.

All went well.  The unit seems to be functioning normally. My RAID-1 array survived in tact and I did not need to reformat/restore data.

However, in the Web STATUS screen, only one disk device shows up - even though there are 2 disks installed.  In TOOLS-->Raid-->Set RAID Type, both drives are there.

I have reviewed /var/log/messages and its clear that the raid array is configured and functioning properly.

Has anybody noticed that the STATUS screen is not reporting both installed drives?  Just curious.

I posted this on the dlink forum too.  will report back what i hear.

UPDATE...  The missing 2nd drive in the STATUS page device list is related to the fact that I have fun_plug running off of a USB memory stick in the USB port.  When I boot the DNS and run fun_plug off of the internal disk, the problem disappears and everything looks normal.  I suspect the web interface code in 1.06 just doesn't know how to handle the presence of more physical disk devices than 2.

I can confirm this. Remove the USB drive from the equation and all is well.
