@def_monk Thanks for the update and Glad it when smoothly.
Yes, just installing the rpm doesn’t kick off the systemd services but it does enable them. Hence the reboot requirement, or manually starting them appropriately.
Yes that is the hope. And 3.9.2-51 had a couple of fixes for updating both non rockstor packages and all packages including rockstor on a “Uses openSUSE” instance:
Check the issues listed there beginning with [openSUSE]. Although we don’t always remember to flag them as such.
You should also subscribe within the Web-UI itself to test the Web-UI offering you updates, and listing the associated changelog features. As of writing 3.9.2-51 is the latest available anyway.
For our openSUSE offering we have returned to the ideal of the testing channel being as described in the docs, ie ahead of stable but for development / active testing only. I haven’t yet announced this openSUSE variant testing channel availability within the docs as I at least wanted to first have some ‘game’ testers such as yourself who were in contact with the likes of me and @Flox here on the forum to get the very roughest edges out of the way first. There after I can change the docs to state this much missed update channel’s relaunch. Your version is only the 3rd published in the repo so it’s very early days. And I’m hoping it’s the first to successfully update itself via the Web-UI. This was a prerequisite for the testing channel re-launch as then testers can, having reported an issue, update to in turn test a published fix. You can report on your experiences of that once we’ve released another version, which should be quite soon hopefully.
So in short: welcome to the wild edge of our “Uses openSUSE” / “Built on openSUSE” endeavour. Enjoy you professionally maintained btrfs backports and boot to snapshot capability, but watch for those Rockstor rough edges.
Well done for persevering and do please be patient on the fix front. But I think we are definitely getting there.
