It's like Christmas .. we got this update and I see an update for Plex too . .as well .. also ..

Again, Thanks!

 

[ThreeDee]

that's odd..? After update to RC2, Plex update isn't there now.. 9.9.7.429 is what I have, and I could of sworn it was showing something something 5 hundred something (I don't remember exact number now) prior to updating to RC2 ..

Plex is 0.9.9.12.504 for FreeNAS 9.2.1.3. What is the URL for the plugins? Mine is: http://www.freenas.org/downloads/plugins/9/x64/pbi-meta/pbi-repo.rpo

 

[ThreeDee]

now it's showing up with .504 version of plex .. like it did right before I updated .. must have just needed some time to update it's update list I guess

I use the same http://download.freenas.org/plugins/9/x64/pbi-meta/pbi-repo.rpo

 

[Cosmo_Kramer]

Updated and everything seems to work OK so far!
Thanks for the hard work.

Update went fine all working smooth.

As for plex i filed a bug report about it being several versions out of date and they updated shortly after.
You want something updated you need to file a bug report and there very good at doing the needed updates.

 

[Scareh]

yup the plex update worked. Had to turn off plex pluging to update as it failed to do so the first time, and on top it took me more or less an hour before it actually finished but hey, it worked so no complaining here ^^

cifs upload kills nfs share for vsphere 5.5

Thanks.

I upgraded from 9.2.1.3 and the performance via ISCSI (ESXI 5.5) degraded to about 15%, i don't know why :(

[Thomymaster]

Hmm i don't think the issue you posted above is the same. In your case CIFS transfers kill an NFS datastore. In my case the performance via ISCSI for my ESXI 5.5 datastore is very low. Attached is a screenshot showing the high latency within the vSphere client. So my question is what has changed regarding ISCSI in 9.2.1.6rc2 (i don't use the new experimental ISCSI target)?

 

[Thomymaster]

You said
"I'm on 9.2.1.3 and it does this. I think it has been a problem for a while...."

But i don't really understand what you want to dell me....

 

[Serverbaboon]

I'm on 9.2.1.3 and it does this. I think it has been a problem for a while....

Have you looked at the Vmware patch for NFS issues?
