    SnapRAID v11.4 has been released at :

    http://www.snapraid.it/
    

    SnapRAID is a backup program for a disk array.

    SnapRAID stores parity information in the disk array,
    and it allows recovering from up to six disk failures.

    This is the list of changes:
    * Fix build errors due new gcc 10 default for -fno-common.
    * In fixing, if a parity is filtered out, don't attempt to recover its size,
    and proceed without it if missing.
    * Avoid unnecessary parity read when fixing the parity itself.
    This improves the 'fix' speed when a parity file is completely missing.
    * Removed a build warning about major/minor defined now in sys/sysmacros.h.

    Hi Master,

    You have to download the file https://github.com/amadvance/snapraid/releases/download/v11.4/snapraid-11.4.tar.gz

    I just regenerated them to fix another version string problem. Note also that running autgen.sh is not required with such package.

    The two 11.4.zip and 11.4.tar.gz files are generated by github, and they don't contain the version information. To get the version, you need to use the specified .tar.gz, or the git repository.

    Ciao,
    Andrea

    few years ago I ran into issues not running ./autogen first , seems that error is now gone , think it was related to mtime

    so far for some reason check seems to be half the speed it used to be tho I might have done something to prevent it hogging all the IO not seing it go over 50%

    iotop

    217178 be/4 root 688.67 M/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 50.01 % snapraid check

    pretty sure this used to showup as seperate threads for each disk ? , will see what sync does its been a few months since I last ran check
