  1. I don't think ZFS is displacing any of the existing file system options. It's just another option you can optionally choose to use. In my case I'm using individual ZFS formatted drives in a normal parity protected array. The advantage here is that you can use snapshots, compression etc. But I retain the advantage of being able to use disks of different size and I can mount them individually. I also use ZFS on my cache drives because I don't love the way BTRFS reports free-space and have had issues with this in the past. I can see why there are use cases for people wanting a full ZFS array too. If speed is a priority then this will always win out over a parity + cache combo. People doing media creation (e.g. YouTubers etc) may want to start with a parity array, then migrate to a full ZFS backed one later. Add in the paid support options UNRAID now has and you have something you can rely on as your needs grow/change.
  2. Hello, Does anyone know which file unassigned devices writes it's passthrough configuration to? I am having trouble with a VM. In the libvirt log I can see that it can't resolve a disk previously passed through as I have physically removed it. I can no longer change that configuration via the UI. Thanks, Ross
  3. I can confirm RC2 is working for me now. Thanks!
  4. After upgrading to 6.12.0-RC1 Virtual Machines are not displaying. In the dashboard these are visible. If a VM was set to autostart it is actually running. Virtual Machines are correctly shown using virsh list-all: root@Tower:~# virsh list --all Id Name State ------------------------------------ 1 Fedora Silverblue running - Fedora SB shut off - Windows 11 shut off tower-diagnostics-20230317-0554.zip
  5. Unfortunately I don't have this plugin installed
  6. My main VM has started (and I'm using it now) but I'm unable to see any VMs listed in the Virtual Machines page. Edit: I can see them listed on the dashboard however
  7. @SimonF Any reason chroot has to be used for virtiofs? Namespace doesn't want to load for me. Also - Virtiofs doesn't appear to lock up my Fedora Silverblue VM. I wonder if there is any common thread to the reports.
  8. I can get it mounted in linux and write permissions seem to work as well. I just wish it would work for Steam/Proton games - I think flock or symlink functionality might not be working. Here's my config. I have this in my VM XML (memoryBacking also has hugepages but I've removed it from here): <memoryBacking> <source type='memfd'/> <access mode='shared'/> </memoryBacking> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <driver type='virtiofs' queue='1024'/> <binary path='/usr/libexec/virtiofsd' xattr='on'> <cache mode='always'/> <sandbox mode='chroot'/> <lock posix='on' flock='on'/> </binary> <source dir='/mnt/user/'/> <target dir='shares'/> <alias name='fs0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> And the following in my /etc/fstab in my VM: shares /mnt/unraid virtiofs 0 0 NB: You must create /mnt/unraid first in the VM.
  9. Does anyone have virtiofs working with Steam games? Specifically those that use Proton? I can't launch games when I do it I get 'OSError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported'. Non proton games seem to work OK.
  10. [rc3] Fixed bug found by @thohell where md_sync_limit was not being honored to limit stripe_head cache usage when other I/O is active. The effect of this fix is to drastically slow down parity operations if other I/O is happening (such as streaming a video). Throttling of parity sync operations can be adjusted by changing the 'Settings/Disk Settings/Tunable (md_sync_limit)' value. This is my favourite feature of 6.10.0 so far. This actually makes the system usable during parity checks!
  11. Hi @ich777. I've noticed that 6.10.0-rc1 has dropped. The release notes mention the GNIF plugin but I can't find it. Has it been released yet? Thanks Ross.
  12. Oh that is awesome news Thanks for the reply too, much appreciated!
