  1. Hello, I'm having trouble with VirtIOFS share, I shared all the /mnt/user folder with all shares inside and I'm stuck with read-only problems on all folders ! Should I share my shares folders independantly with 5 or 6 letters attributions ?
  2. Hello, I 2 Windows VMs running from my btrfs_raid_0 👿 Cache pool ( 2x Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500G ). I have a spare brand new 1Tb SATA SSD drive on my desk. My goal is to put the 1TB drive as Cache (I will certainly buy another one for btrfs_raid_1 Cache pool), And transfer the 2 VMs, each one on a dedicated unassigned 970 500Gb. Not sure how to do that ... Should I keep vDisks or can I get bare SSD r/w ?
  3. Is there any guide or something like that to make a Vega GPU working by passthrough ? In VNC mode my vm works fine but when i try to assign the gpu it starts to boot then freeze. And with the ton of posts over all the forums speaking of that cards and of the reset bug, i miss myself. I don't really care about that reset bug because the 2 vms will be both up or down on same times and when they will be down the pc will be shutted down
  4. Thank you for your quick reply ! For the "power efficiency" I talked, that was not really about the cost but more like : Why consuming 70W at idle for just a NAS when it can be only like 10W ? I think i will made two systems rather than one because my gaming mate loves RGB lights and fans ... so a f**king system that lights up rgb all day in the office will make me cry i think ! When gaming okay but not all the day. The game servers can full up a 3.0G quad core CPU when 20 players are on so 1 or 2 threads no way. And server is surprisingly way stable on windows rather than on Linux 🙃 I think i will recycle an ITX board that i have, with a Windows Server to not get it rebooting everyday for updates. And with some drives in raid for storage it would be the perfect NAS / server combo. For the main system I will probably go for a 10 core CPU : so 7900X, 9820X, 9900X or 10900X. I will check wich is the best for me and my money. Threads assignement : 0-10-1-11 to Unraid , 2-12-3-13-4-14-5-15 to VM1 and 6-16-7-17-8-18-9-19 to VM2. Yep by vDisk I would say array, I'm not so RAID terms friendly for now but it will come ! So yes i know i can make an array and share it to both VMs as like a network drive but the main question was : Can two people play the same game at same time from same disk ? What about the backups of games ? I assume that will not be a problem as we can share the library and play a game with another account on the same pc but i'm not sure. I dont intend to boot faster my vm with the optane if thats what you think. I will probably go for one or two 2.5 ssd of 256G for the two main vDisks for windows directories My two 512G ssd in raid 0 for a 1TB "ultrafast" Steam library And the 2T drive for the mass storage : not so important files, downloads and so on. So just can it be used as a cache drive to speed up a little bit this type of "slow" 3.5 mechanical drive ? I got the Taichi and one of the R VII so I'm a bit stuck with it. That's a Taichi XE maybe she is different I can manage to get the first slot with a small nvidia card like a GT 710 or 1030 I would prefer to get the radeons on first and second positions for cooling facilities. And also lanes assignements but not a priority. Is it an issue to boot on a GPU that will passtrough in vm ? I will search about the radeon patch. Won't unraid add support for vega in future versions like 7.0 ? Kernel patching .. Hhhmmmrrrr , I made hackintosh on a dual xeon mobo few month ago. A real pain but it works ! Nothing is impossible. It will WORKS and also WELL, at least i hope !
  5. Hi everybody, First I want to tell I never had any experience with Unraid and VM's exept one time I had run macOS in Windows by VmWare. Also I'm french so maybe i will make some spelling mistakes My project is to centralise 2 windows gaming VMs into one PC and maybe also a NAS and a game server. I read some tutos about Unraid, how it works, how to setup and globally I understand it but I still got questions. I decided to choose an X299 platform, I got an ASRock X299 Taichi XE motherboard, 32Gb (4x 8Gb) of DDR4, 2x 500Gb 970 Evo Plus SSDs, 3 HDDs (2To, 3To, 4To) I also got a Radeon VII and a Quadro M5000 wich I will probably switch for another Radeon VII. I still need to choose the CPU : I want each machine got 8 threads so minimum 8C/16T CPUs. I have as choice several CPUs : 7820X (16T 28lanes), 9800X (16T 44lanes), 7900X (20T 44lanes), 9900X (20T 44lanes), and all the other x299 Core X-Series. I also want to make a NAS / Private game server combo for my files backup and to host games like Ark or Minecraft who needs 4 threads and a good cpu power. So I want to get your thought about the best options to choose I / Should I choose a CPU with even more cores or build two separate machines : one for gaming and the other one for the NAS and server ? Also what about the power efficiency of a 8+ core 150+ W CPU for an all-time runing NAS and only few hours gamings and not everyday ? II / Does Unraid need dedicated cores ? In some places I see YES , in some other I see NO ... So finally YES or NO ? And for 2 VMs is it better to assign 8 threads each from 4 "real cores" or from 8 "real cores" ? 4 = VM1 0-1-2-3-8-9-10-11 / VM2 4-5-6-7-12-13-14-15 or 8 =VM1 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7 / VM2 8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15 III / Is it possible to share one vDisk (raid 0 of the 2 SSDs) as only one Steam Library for the 2 VMs with different Steam accounts ? Or should I got one vDisk per VM , with almost the same files on it ? IV / Can an optane 32G0 M.2 module be used as cache for an HDD ? Thanks for reading me
