Thank you guys, backing up the key and then re-creating usb fixed everything. Bad advice was found here, first google result to "reset unraid to default settings":

Hey I'm setting up new unraid server using old unraid Plus usb stick I used in the past. I red on forums that I can wipe the old config by deleting everything in config folder except the plus.key so I did that. CLI says the unraid is up, and it got IP from my DHCP. I can ping it: But I cant reach the GUI: I tried giving it a static IP in router, and rebooted but with the new IP (192.168.5.14 which is the same one server used before without problems) I'm getting exact same problem. Ping is ok but GUI is not. edit: uploaded diagnostics tower-diagnostics-20220715-0510.zip

Memory speed. Switched those alibaba dimms to proper kingston (basic low end fury), Dropped speed bit lower and it has been rock solid ever since!

Hello friends! Here's my main rig powered by Unraid. I'm running Windows 10 Gaming VM on it as my main pc. Its handling many other tasks as well, you can find out lower in the specs what. I used to run Unraid in my garage strictly as nas/server, but decided to use it also as my gaming pc as I dont have so much time to game nowadays. It just made sense to use one hardware for all. OS at time of building: Unraid 6.8.3 Basic CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 @ 3,9GHz Boost OC Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming RAM: 24Gb Kingston Hyper X Fury 2x4+2x8 @ 1866MHz GPU 1: Nvidia GT520 (for host) GPU 2: Nvidia GTX970 (Passthru for VM) Case: BeQuiet Silent Base 801 Power Supply: Seasonic Focus+ Gold 550w Fans: 3x BeQuiet stock 140mm, 2x Corona 120mm RGB, 1x 120mm Thermalright on Macho120 CPU cooler Parity Drive: 4Tb Seagate Ironwolf Data Drives: 4Tb Seagate Ironwolf (1pcs) Cache Drive: 500Gb Samsung 860 Evo (automaticly backed up weekly to array) Unassigned Drive 1: 500Gb Samsung 860 Evo (game installation storage for VM) Unassigned Drive 2: 1Tb WD Green (Storage for security camera footage) Total Drive Capacity: 10Tb, 4Tb as NAS and its plenty for me Primary Use: NAS, Gaming VM, AdBlocker, Home automation, security camera NVR, unifi controller, Media server Likes: Its fairly compact, stays cool and doesnt look anything else than you regular gaming pc. Dislikes: Fans could be still quieter Add Ons Used: Plex Media Server, MQTT broker, Unifi Controller, Shinobi Pro, HassOS VM, Windows 10 VM, Many plugins, scripts etc Future Plans: Nextcloud will be coming, and maybe moving from Shinobi to Zoneminder but we'll see. Hardware upgrades are endless, but after fans I'd like to swap gaming GPU to a new Ampere card, maybe RTX 3070 or something. CPU I will update eventually to 3900X or 4000-series equivalent. Memory needs to be swapped to 2x16Gt 1R kit so I can run it faster. I guess PSU needs a bit more power also for Ampere and 12-core. After these upgrades it should be a long time rig, multiple years forward... Motherboard I am super happy with. IOMMU groups are perfect for my use case. Let me know what you think!

- I have turned C-states from BIOS back enabled (CPU is handling idle P-states normally)) - Dropped memory speed to 1866MHz as suggested - Installed Python, ran Zenstates.py script with 1700x settings and automated it with CA User Scripts (Script is handling Boost state P0 as commanded, resulting a mild overclock) Now my Ryzen 7 1700 is idling as it should, Boosting to 3.9GHz like 1700x, and seems to be completely stable, both in games and idling over night. Note that in the pictures not all cores are allocated to windows VM Iäm using to put load on the processor, therefore threads 0, 7, 8, 15 are not boosting as they are used by host and other VM. Perfect!

^ Thank you! Tried user scripts and it seems awesome way to automate stuff around unraid. Really easy to make new script, copy-paste you command and set schedule when to run the script. Made these four separate scripts for four shares on my Cache drive, so I can schedule them differently if I want: Example how my Appdata backup script looks:

I took some time yesterday to try rsync/crontab method. Managed easily to make a script with rsync that creates the copy of cache on array, but didnt manage yet to automate the script with crontab. I'll repost when I get the automation working. Rsync and Crontab both come preinstalled on unraid, so its just matter of writing the commands in correct files to be run daily/weekly/whatever. my rsync command which works fine when run in terminal: rsync -r -av --delete /mnt/cache/domains/ /mnt/user/vault/Backups/Unraid/Cache/domains -r = recursive -a = archive files and directory while synchronizing -v = verbose --delete = delete files from destination, that are no longer found in source (good for my use case, not for most backups) /mnt/cache/domains/ = source /mnt/user/vault/Backups/Unraid/Cache/domains = destination

I also would like to create daily backup of the shares on cache disk (appdata, domains, isos, system) and store the backup on array. This would be enough safety for me to run single cache disk instead of 2 disk pool. I think setting up rsync script with cronjob would be one option, but I'm not sure how to do this. Another possible way might be installing DirSyncPro docker, but I'm not familiar with this either. Both options sound really complicated for such a simple job. I'm sure this is trivial job for more experienced linux/unraid users, so please share what is the best way?

Thanks for the link! Its possible that my previous problems were partly caused by memory speed, all tho the freeze would always happen when the machine was idle, usually it was frozen in the morning. Disabling C-states was the fix and this thing has been rock solid since. Still, running 1st gen Ryzen atm and all 4 sticks, I should be using 1866mhz in case of 2R sticks according to the spreadsheets in the link. Currently I'm running 2666mhz. I'm not sure if my kingstons are single or dual rank, but I assume dual rank because cheapest of the cheap, and already quite old. I've been eyeballing those 3900X and XT cpus now, as they would allow me to run higher memory speeds and provide more cores for virtualization. Just plain lot more power and cores to play with. I'm just not sure how 8+3 phase power delivery of Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming would stand feeding 24/7 rig. Well I guess most of the time the system is idling with low power consumption anyway. CPU support list says also 3950X is supported tho, but still im not sure. Display and GPU are waiting for the upgrade first tho, and I need another SDD to install games on, dont wanna fill my cache drives too much with the VM. Maybe I drop the parity from cache pool and just backup all the shares from cache to the array every now and then.

Hello world! I've been using UnRaid on Ryzen for quite some time now as basic NAS unit with few dockers and Hassio VM. Just yesterday I decided to ditch my main pc, took the server in and configured a "gaming vm" to use as my main desktop. So far so good, managed to passthru a gpu and usb controller. Input devices, DAC and GPU drivers are in and working. When first building the server about a year ago, I remember having stability issues that were solved by turning off some C-states and other power saving features of Ryzen. Just a general question here, has there been any improvements how UnRaid handles Ryzen power plans, is it possible to turn some of those back on? Currently my CPU is idling at base clock on all cores 24/7 which was totally fine in server rack, but now I would like it to really go idle if possible. AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming 24Gb Kingston Hyper X regular basic non-ecc Nvidia GT520 for host Nvidia GTX970 for VM 2x Samsung 860 Evo 500Gb Cache 2x Seagate Ironwolf 4Tb Array

Seems this was solved! Thanks guys!

Yep it was down again: These came out, dual rank and most likely the cheapest stick in the world. I'll memtest these in my main rig later. Want them out from server anyway so no need to memtest there. 2x8Gb single rank kingstons in, will try safe mode if it still crashes, but really hope not as now theres no janky components left!

It seems to be down again. I`ll throw a kit of 2x8gb Kingston HyperX single rank sticks from the main rig at it and see if its more stable. (Kit is HX432C16FB3K2/16)

Like I wrote, I had the problem at first with power control of Zen architecture, it crashed really fast after starting to idle. But it seemed to be solved by disabling Global C-States Control. This was over a month ago and server was 100% stable for a month before these two recent crashes. I didn't find "Power Supply Idle Control" or anything similar from BIOS, other than Global C-States Control. I now dropped memory speed from 2400 to 1866, but again the hardware was stable for a month so I doubt this will have anything to do with the topic. BIOS version is also fairly recent, 5.80 from 2019/7/3. Newest is 6.30 from 2020/2/4. And again it was stable for a month... nothing changed there recently.

Running single gigabit connection from integrated Realtek nic with 4 VLANs. Problem: Server sometimes freezes, happened twice now in couple days, both times it has been idling when crashing. Networking is lost, doesn't answer to ping and doesn't allow ssh. Had similar problem when it was first installed, but after disabling Global C-States Control it was stable until now. Last things I have installed before problems was CA Backup/Restore plugin that I configured to make a backup to external smb share mounted via unassigned devices plugin. Crash has never happened when this is scheduled. Also I have messed around with home assistant dockers, mqtt docker and lately switched to home assistant running in VM. First time this crash happened (between February 17 and 18) was before switching from docker to HassOS VM (February 19). I have syslog after the first crash, ending to second crash that I noticed last night February 20, about 23:00. 192.168.5.69 is my main PC, which was offline 17:27 as seen in syslog. I'm curious what mover has been trying to do Feb 20 03:40:01, as mover should be disabled because of no cache is installed. Oh and when it has crashed, hard power off is the only way out. Power button doesnt do anything, even if pressed continously long time. Need to switch PSU off or take power cord out from UPS.

I have setup unraid server and its working nice. Now I want to have a cold copy of my files for more safety, I'm planning to build a second NAS out of old Dell server. I dont want it to be up all the time as its power hungry and loud, it would be nice to use maybe wake-on-lan once a week or once a month, update backup if anything has changed, and shutdown secondary nas again. How would you go to setup something like this? Would it be possible to configure the whole thing on unraid (wake, wait for boot until smb is visible, check files and update what necessary, send shutdown command). This way it would be possible to use pretty much any PC with large enough SMB share for this, and unraid would do all the work. Thoughts? Ideas?

Could not wait, had to put some old extra hdd in, make array and see how the passthrough goes. So far we are looking good. Got windows installed in novnc, configured some power management settings, installed virtio drivers. Then passthrough, pcie acs override broke native groups out really nice. Had some freezes and other problems after installing amd drivers, but changing machine type to Q35 seemed to fix it all. Also windows start menu stopped working couple times but has not happened anymore. Now I dont have the 1tb nvme drive in yet, so well see it that one will mess up the passthrough. edit: Also tried passing through USB controller: Chipset USB controller has 4x external USB2.0, 4x internal USB2.0, 2x internal USB3.1 and internal USB-C 3.1 Gen 2. This has [RESET] and is in its own IOMMU group 13 = perfect thing for passing through, no problems at all. USB sound card (DacMagic 100) works fine now, keyboard and mouse are passed as separate devices so they wont eat 2 ports from the back leaving more room for other stuff. There is also two more controllers, one in CPU and one ASMedia. ASMedia controller only has one external USB 3.1 Gen2 and one external USB-C 3.1 Gen2, I dont use these so I put boot stick here so I could also pass thru 4-port usb 3.1 Gen1 controller which is in CPU, but its not needed atm. Might still want USB ports for host, maybe for UPS or something like that. I think I'll stop posting in this thread now as everything seems to work great and hardware is up for the task. When build is finished I'll post it in UCD section. If anyone else is looking to use Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming for something like this, go for it! Its not bad at all! Big time thanks to testdasi, your answer was big encouragement for me to go on with Unraid!

Throw the parts on test bench... RX580 in first 16x slot, GT520 in second and Pro1000/PT in last one. Seems like a nice setup, everything has room to breathe and managed to set GT520 as primary in bios. Time to update bios, make usb stick and get everything else ready. Hopefully next weekend I'll have the case to build, and start figuring out how to get drives and data from freenas without screw-ups. I have couple offline backups (wd green in the picture and another 1tb usb hdd) that are luckily still able to hold all of my most precious data so should be fine... :)

Awesome information! I've watched few spaceinvader videos but will look more, there was 100+ on the playlist so its a bit challenging to find the relevant ones. I will setup the thing in testbench and see what I can do with it. Maybe try the vdisk method to use nvme drive for vms, and possibly one sata ssd as a cache. Everything critical stays on the array anyway, and I have offline backup also.

I've been looking through documentation of unraid and the forums but its hard to put all information together without experience of unraid. Most sources point the user to use just array, and cache (i guess main usecase for the os is simple nas box). Cache pool of two drives seems to be the preferred way and default option for pool is mirror if I got this correct. However I found some posts that lead me to think there is possibility of using other configurations aswell with more ssds. In my use case, would it be possible and good practise to use existing 120gb kingston ssds as cache for array, and mount 1tb intel nvme drive separate from array and cache, and put all vm's, dockers etc there? I found some information that backing up vm's should be quite simple task, so I could get away with one cheap QLC ssd as a primary drive for vm's. For me it would be secure enough if I could automate backing up the vm's and dockers maybe once a week to the hdd array. This way I could use cheap fast nvme drive for vms and dont need it to me mirrored. Im sure its not optimal, but I'd like to get some use out of that drive that I have already. Another option I was thinking... If I ditch those 120gb ssd's and only use 1Tb nvme drive as cache for both array and vm's/dockers etc. I suppose I can pool it with slower 1tb sata ssd, but can I somehow choose that nvme drive to be the primary drive where I want everything to be written first, so I could benefit from the speed? Or will this pool limit speed of the cache to the slowest member of the pool? I found a post saying that pool speed will be limited to slowest. Need to test if I can use second M.2 slot (M2B) for similar nvme drive and make a pool of 2 that way. Its only pci-e 2.0 x4, M2A slot is 3.0 x4 which im using at the moment.

So I currently have separate Windows 10 gaming pc, and freenas server running pihole, syncthing etc. I'm looking to put all under one machine, and so far unraid looks like best option for me. Current freenas box is running 2x4Tb mirror, and this is what I would continue to use. I like the fact that expanding would be easy with unraid. I wanna run Windows 10 vm and dedicate gpu, usb, audio etc for it.. all other vms and containers will be running on background and require only ssh/vnc or similar Parts I have already in my disposal: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming Nvidia GT520 for host AMD RX580 8Gb to passthrough for windows 24Gb of ram 1tb Intel 660p nvme m.2 ssd 2x 120gb Kingston A400 sata ssd 2x 4Tb Seagate Ironwolf Dual port pcie intel nic for 2x1gbe lacp with vlans Silent Base 801 case Seasonic Focus Plus 550w psu. How would you suggest setting it all up? 1tb ssd would be quite fast cache but will it hold up being cheap qlc drive? Better to sell all ssds and get something like 2x 500gb samsung evo or similar? Those would be limited to sata3 tho.. Problem is that motherboard dont support two big nvme ssd, and they will also eat so many pcie lanes. CPU only has 20 and GT520 need to be in first 16x slot i think?
