RouterOS 7.9.2 x86 disk issue

Fri Jun 02, 2023 1:46 am

Hello,

I am running RouterOS x86 in a VirtualBox VM. The storage controller is AHCI (SATA).
Since upgrading RouterOS from 7.8 to 7.9.2, after every reboot a new entry appears in the Disk List.

Initially it was:
/disk
set slot1 slot=slot1 type=hardware
After reboot it has two:
/disk
set slot1 slot=slot1 type=hardware
set slot2 slot=slot2 type=hardware
After another reboot:
/disk
set slot1 slot=slot1 type=hardware
set slot2 slot=slot2 type=hardware
set slot3 slot=slot3 type=hardware
In RouterOS 7.8 there is no /disk in the exported configuration.
In the disk list in WinBox I see only 1 entry which has Slot: sata1.

The same issue is present in 7.10 stable.
That's expected since there is nothing disk related in the changelog.

Best to contact support about it with supout.rif so they can check why it happens.

I just want to mention that the issue is still present in RouterOS 7.12 Stable.
The same issue happens in both VirtualBox and VMware.
After every reboot a new disk appears in /disk and they build up.

Thanks for the suggestion to contact the MikroTik support, however I don't think I'm eligible for such.
I have a couple of hardware MikroTik routers, but for the VMs I use demo keys.

Why not ?
A reported bug is a reported bug. Doesn't matter where it comes from.

I found Routeros keeps adding disk slots for dvd drive or sd card drive even they are empy. So remove the DVD drive in vmware will fix your issue.

Wow, thank you, that's a great find!
It fixes the issue indeed and I needed the DVD only for the initial installation anyway.
