  1. I'm not the main user but from what I have been told and playing with it myself the problem is mostly graphics lag. Moving between windows is slow, moving objects around in Corel there is lag, moving between layers in Photoshop is really slow. There is also file access issues (disk cannot be accessed error) when saving -- the files save to unRAID shares not the VM's disk image Playing videos also doesn't seem to work. They are choppy and at times you get ghost images / random shapes Running benchmrks now Nova I got vary different results two different runs but in both cases GPU and CPU were under 40th percentile. Disk speed was only 84MB/s Running Sandra now The graphics card is a HD5700 which is older but worked fine in a physical machine I've assigned 10 out of 32 cores to it and 49 gigs of ram. I've followed the instructions in the topic on how to pin cores and I think I have done it right. I found out my motherboard has some SATA3 ports so I don't need a controller and I think a dedicated SSD and a better GHX card is probably necessary.
  2. One successful upgrade and one failure. I am getting the Kernel Panic -- Not Syncing error which prevents the unRAID server from booting. I have tested with a fresh 6.3.1 USB and the same error is present. Returning to 6.2.4 fixes the problem. There is mention of a CPU 9 and NMI but that is all I remember of the error text. I saw people mention Kernel Panic around page 13-14 of this topic but I didn't see any kind of resolution. Are the people having this issue just reverting back to 6.2.4?
  3. Is the security issue a concern if the unRaid machine is behind a firewall and accessed only by an internal network? When it wouldn't boot after the update I downloaded and made a new 6.3.1 USB and it also had the same error. I then downloaded and made a new 6.2.4 USB and it did not have the error. The error was a Kernel Panic -- Not Syncing and there was some reference to CPU 9 and NMI which I have been searching for but without much luck. I found a topic where people had issues but it is someone having the same issue upgrading to 6.2
  4. Perfect that worked. UnRaid is working again. Thank you. When I was searching I didn't see anyone else complaining about 6.3.1 not working on the SC2600 dual E5 hardware even though that is a pretty common setup.
  5. I upgraded to 6.3.1 from 6.2.x and that doesn't seem to work on my hardware (which is strange because I have the SP2600 dual E5 setup lots of people bought) Anyway I believe that returning to 6.2.4 will fix the problem but I don't want to lose my setup / config or VMs. Would prefer not to lose Dockers either but that is not a big deal. Is this as simple as just downloading 6.2.4 and then copying over the config directory to the new installation?
  6. The unRaid update killed my machine so I might have to start from scratch. I have the E5 setup that a lot of people bought about 18 months ago. I use it for a bunch of small VMs but I also use it for a Windows 10 general office software machine -- lots of graphics software basically -- Corel Draw mostly. I had setup 8 CPUs and 50 gigs of RAM using a file on the cache SSD for the HD. I found the performance was lacking. The VM already has a dedicated sound card and a dedicated USB card that I pass-through What could I do to make it better? Things I was considering. Buy a SATA 3 card with a dedicated SSD Dedicated NIC currently 2 VMs were headless and constantly accessed using RDP sometimes by physical machine and other times by the Window 10 VM I'm trying to speed up. Not sure if that is too much for a dual NIC Better GFX card. I am just using an old ATI card I had. It was more than adequate in the physical computer I pulled it out of powering a 2560x1600 and a 1920x1200. In the VM I am pushing it a bit more dual 2560x1440.
  7. With a Windows 10 VM I was sometimes unable to reboot during updates if any USB device was plugged in
  8. I tried to update and now I have a Kernel Panic error. I have two unRaid machines an update went fine on second. I believe the issue was that it did not download properly. I've started searching and found a few topics that I'm going to read through but they are pretty old so figured I'd start my own and hopefully someone can help me.
  9. There are a bunch of sync programs and there is CrashPlan. I use both to backup essential files to another unRaid machine and to a backup drive attached to a separate PC.
  10. I don't know if you can pass a hub through -- I was under the impression that you can't but I am not an expert so could be wrong. To pass a hub though what I did was just buy a USB card. Then you pass the entire USB card so a hub plugged into the card is also passed through.
  11. Sorry I thought the diagnostics was just the SMART test. I read the link and now I realize it is more. After reading John_M's suggestion I tried the resetting all the connections again even though I had already done that. The drive is 48% reconstructed which is much further into the process then it ever got before. Hopefully it is just a connection issue. If the issues returns I'll post the diagnostics following the instructions in the link provided.
  12. The case has 4 trays -- I thought it might be the connection as well so I took the drive out but problem persists. I guess it could be something with connection on that tray. This is the short test results.

  13. I'm having the same issue. I have a 4 drive array -- the newest drive had the red X and the emulated message I tested it 3 times with short and once with long -- test finished without errors all four times. When I try to re-enable/rebuild I instantly get errors again. All the drives are on the same controller and only Disk 3 is having this issue.
  14. One of my unRaid machines has a disk with a little red X -- I don't know how long that has been there I just found it this morning. The disk with the X is the newest HD in the array -- it is a WD 6TB Red and less than 3 months old. I ran both the short and the long test and there are no errors reported. I then tried to rebuild the array by taking the drive offline and then reassigning it as a new drive -- as soon as I start the reconstruction process there is a bunch of errors. Test the drive again just with the short test -- again no errors. What am I doing wrong?
  15. You change it within the webui as admin... I've uploaded files >1GB with no problems Thanks. After reading the manual I didn't even think to check the settings as it seemed to imply it was not a NextButt setting but a underlying environment setting. I set mine to 2GB -- I know you've only tested 1.5GB but is there any reason larger files shouldn't work? I said I'd tested >1GB, I think I've even uploaded about 8GB files.... Thanks. My bad. The 1.5 was from a post early in the topic. I was reading though it and got confused.

  17. How would one modify the docker to all for file uploads greater than 2 megs? The manual seems to imply that the limitation is because of the serving environment and that you need to make changes to PHP settings but I have no idea how to do that within a docker.
  18. I do this all the time -- works fine but none of the stuff I'm using the other RDP VMs for is overly demanding. In theory this might be possible-- years back (pre-Windows 8 release)-- I was looking for the ability to have one computer with multiple independent input devices. I was able to find some buggy software that would do it but it was too unstable to use. There were a few people working on software for that and rumors that it would be part of Windows 8 -- which it wasn't. I gave up but now that it is several years later possibly it exists.
  19. I use a Chrome addon called Remote Torrent Adder -- works great for me.
  20. I suspect it's a threading issue, I've seen similar behaviour when manipulating multiple items. Does the connection restore itself after waiting a bit? There is an alert popup and then when I dismiss it Deluge is just the framework but otherwise blank. I've never waited to see if it populates but if I press reload after a small wait I get everything like normal. I've also noticed that when a torrent finishes all the other torrents stop downloading for about the amount of time it would take to move a file from the downloading directory to the completed directory. The downloading / seeding then returns to normal.
  21. Avast crashes I've been using Bitdefender Free Edition without any issues on a Windows 10 VM. The VM works fine except for Windows updates which are usually good for at least one blue screen.
  22. I'm having a lost connection issue when removing torrents that are complete manually -- If I choose a multiple complete torrents and then remove torrent I lose connection to the docker. Is there some setting that I should be changing to prevent this from happening?
  23. Thanks. I bought my main unRaid from Natex. I need to check the motherboard revision but if I have the newer version then I can use • Registered 4-GB and 8-GB dual-rank PC3-10600R 1333 MHz DIMMs
  24. Thanks. I'll go with the system specific then. I have 8GB (2Gb*4) now and 2 empty slots was hoping to get it up to 16GB. If I could find 6 4GB sticks being sold as matching that would work that would even be better. Apparently I also have the option of switching to registered if I replace all of them. It is just way too many specifications to keep straight for someone who doesn't do this for a living and is only casually informed.
  25. I have a Z600 that I originally bought for my second unRaid but then went with other hardware. One of the issues was confusion over the RAM. There was RAM that I thought should work and then vendors would also have system specific ram which looked basically identical to me on specs but was twice as much. I'd still like to get more RAM for it can you give me any direction on if I need the system specific stuff?
