Has anybody tried this with recent versions? Although the note is a bit old I don't see why it shouldn't work with 6.9. I will try it later, but has anybody been using it? https://github.com/thohell/unRAID-bzoverlay I've already been using a vmdk bootdisk for unraid under ESXi for years (Unraid boots off vmdk, but config files are still on USB). The linked method has additional advantages: -no writes to USB drive -no need to copy boot files from USB to vmdk during upgrade.

Could you please add 'smbclient' to the docker? It is required to be able to mount SMB shares to Pydio via its plugin. Thanks.

What about...Extent should be file-based and user decides where that file is created. In most cases on SSD cache. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Anybody wanting to use this needs to update kernel-headers version from "19"to "21". Just edit the plg file to do so. Also prior to installation make sure plg file name is openVMTools_auto.plg Otherwise the plugin will not be loaded upon next reboot and VMTools will not start.

Great, thanks. Short explanation why mover logging should be disabled? Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

In my case turning on Direct SMB (writing name from memory...) helped as this enabled SMB3. Run "programs and features" and enable this option. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Yep, looks like different issue. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

I had to kill it from cli and start over. Luckily it saves progress periodically and resumes where it left off. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Did you use preclear plugin? It tends to die i.e. stops progressing and cpu and memory utilization for preclear script skyrocket to 100%. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Why iSCSI? -because every comparable NAS solution already has it (FreeNAS, Synology, Qnap, OpenFiler...), -because it is easy to add, -because it would help some of us, already using unRAID for everything else, dump other solutions existing for the sole purpose of serving iSCSI targets (think mostly for ESXi home labs), -a few other edge cases where access to block-level devices is required or preferred over smb or NFS. On the other note I don't get why some people uninterested in the topic try to discourage Tom from looking at it. I don't have any use for e.g. graphics card pass-through to VM, but I don't advocate to stop wasting development time on it.

Lol, that is probably 5th thread requesting iSCSI. It is really simple to implement on Linux. Please Tom give it a thought.

iSCSI is a block-level protocol. How should an iSCSI LUN be mapped to unRAID storage? The only use case I can see for this is a SAN. Probably like Windows Server and Linux do by creating virtual disk image on existing filesystem and using it for iSCSI target. Even if somebody wants to create plugin they need support in kernel.
