yes , I am looking to pass hardware through , which was why I hoped some one had used this board .

I am contemplating buying one of these boards , so i tried to research on this forum. I could not find any posts regarding this board. from what the specs tell me this should do ok , but it concerns me that no-one has this board. Is there a problem with it I should be aware of ?

I am having the same issue - however at this time I am only passing through a gpu only ( nvidia gt740) . I have a sabertooth 990 fx board and 8350 processor. I had both xp and w10 VMs running with the gpu pass through for about a week, but as of friday when I start up VM, it crashes everything. I am hoping to merge my pc with my unraid server , so I am testing this out right now, trying to get all the kinks ironed out. I cant post a syslog as it disappears once the server is rebooted . What else can I post to get some assistance ?

I have just started to learn about using a VM, having rebuilt my server . I want to basically have only machine . I have been trying to find out how to get get the shares on my server to show up in my window vm. I am working with Xp at the moment trying to get some older games working , and learning what I need to do to run VM's . I understand that I can use network places , but I dont see the sense in that - and the speed hit that would result in using ethernet to the router and then back into the same machine. I have to assume it is possible - but I have not seen any guides that outline how to do it

I believe I have a pro license , so I have more capability than space to put discs. I am looking to upgrade the case , and if I combine the 3 enclosures I have will have up to 15 discs possible - well 16 may be - I think the ssd holder will fit 2. If I do that - I was going to put the discs I want the OS to use in an external enclosure - which limts me to 4 discs about what I have in my pc now . so I dont think that will be an issue . can you point me at a resourse that will show me how to do it ?

Is it a requirement to create virtual disks - or point to shares in the array , or can you keep some discs out of the array and have the OS use them instead?

I just did some research - is this something that needs to be done right now - or can it wait a couple of weeks ? I will be buying a new 4T drive just after christmas .

I have just upgraded to V6 , and when checking my syslog was getting this error : emhttpd: error: get_filesystem_status, 6475: Operation not supported (95): getxattr: /mnt/user/libary . I googled it and while I found some other users with the issue - There was no explaination in simple terms what the solution was . can someone assist ?

I have bought an installed a silverstone 9211 card flahed it with p19 f/w. I recall reading somewhere - and I did not book mark it, that in order to get s.m.a.r.t info showing in mymain I need to add something to the attribute section , however I cant remember what , and I cant find it again- ( somewhere in the 69 pages of this thread I think ) . can anyone assist ?

the point I was making there is that cost is not a factor as there is about $15 btwn the SM card and the LSI card. Given the Marvel chip issue with unraid 6 , is there anything else that would tip the balance in deciding one card over the other.

I asked this in the wrong thread previously I think. I want to upgrade to an 8 port sata controller card. At this time I dont have any intention of upgrading to unraid 6 at this time as I dont have a need for the features. in the future I may combine my desktop pc with the NAS - but not right now. I am debating between SM SAS2LP-MV8 and an LSI 9211-8i card of some description. I know the SM card has some issues in V6 . could I please have some advice as to which way to go , as I dont have a clear preference. In terms of cost : SM wins , as it works straight out of the box. the cheapest I have seen for an lsi card is $174 for a silverstone tek , however that will need to be flashed. then I saw this : http://www.qbtl.com/new-it-mode-lsi-9211-8i-sas-sata-8-port-pci-e-6gb-raid-controller-card-us-seller.html , it appears to be a genuine LSI , and cost is $124, competitive with the SM card. In a straight head to head, any preferences ? anything else I should be aware of that will help me make a decision? thanks for any assistance

this was the problem I was referring to https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=29236.0 while searching ebay found this http://www.ebay.com/itm/121601853837 , which led me to this http://www.qbtl.com/new-it-mode-lsi-9211-8i-sas-sata-8-port-pci-e-6gb-raid-controller-card-us-seller.html . This seems very cheap for this card - the seller looks legit , and the card does not look like a knock off. any thoughts ?

I am updating my sata card in order to make use of all the drive slots I have. I was looking at the SM AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 until I saw the issues with v6 . That being said currently I have no need to go there as I dont need the extra features it offers . hence I am looking at the dell h310 . I am not scared of flashing it , it seems straight forward , I am more concerned with an issue where these cards cause system boot issues . does anyone have the biostar 690G board ? will it work straight out of the box or will I need to blank some contacts? ( something I am loathe to do )

So the plug in cannot be configured say 192.168.1.253:8096 You have to use serviio remote connect? That's correct because the 3rd party web interface is no longer updated by the developer. There is an alternative web interface but it requires apache which is a bit cumbersome to setup with a plugin. ok tried using remote connect - for library I assume I use path rather than local to add folder to the library . also when I tick library to change location ( using /mnt/cache/apps/serviio/library ) click cdone - when the screen returns the tick has been taken out of the library box. is it using the location specified ? or reverting to default?

I am looking at your Serviio plugin . I have a couple of questions the way you have the plugin downloads set up - does it get the latest versions of applicable files - like the latest version of serviio itself . can you arrange it to install on a cache drive and whre would changes need to be made to achieve that ? thanks for your time

sorry I am using unraid 5 - if I am understanding what you mean

Thanks , I have notepad ++ , what settings do I need to use to format correctly ? I have tried end of line conversion - nothing changed in appearance. all I do is copy and paste from the link in this thread : http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=19791.0 , into a text editor and save. I changed the end of line mode - ( did not appear to change the visible formatting ) - got same result

No matter which version I try to install I get the same error :Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/boot/plugins/serviio-1.4-1jr-cache.plg" in /usr/local/sbin/installplg on line 13 xml parse error I am not experienced with linux , all I did was copy the text of the plugin to a text editor and save with the appropriate file name and extension. As all variations used came up with same error I have come to the conclusion that I have not saved file in correct format . can anyone assist - I have seen the same query in the dedicated serviio plug in thread - however there was no response to the person asking for help with the error .

unfortunately that is exactly where my sata ports are, thanks for the info though

thanks

I dont know if it has always been this way or as I have jyst upgraded case and OS that I am just noticing, but I have a tenuos connection from pc to bridge. I have a 10/100/1000 bridge as are all the nic connections supposedly. The other pc I have on this bridge connects at 1GB /s straigt away - while the nic in the unraid unit takes forever to connect - and will do so either at 100 mb/s or at 10 mb/s - I have tried changing the port it is connecting to - I have changed the cable as well - from std patch cable with seems to do best - up to cat 5, 5e and 6 - which will only connect at 10 mb/s if at all. My thought is that there are some bad connections at the motherboard nic so I may need to replace it . I have a biostar ta760g m2+ board with a 1x pci-e and 2 pci slots free - am I losing much by getting a pci based card? as I would like to add in another sata controller to the pci-e slot . any advice gratefully accepted - thanks syslog-2014-03-19.txt

some advice please - I put my server together in a coolermaster elite 335 , however from a hard drive perspective it is a little cramped inside . I have looked at the corsair carbide series 500r as a replacement . any thoughts?

I have just added a new disk - it is on a rosewell rc-18 pci-e sata card - it is a WD20EARX drive and as you can see it has » load_cycle_count=1570 I searched and found this solution hdparm -B 255 /dev/sdX - however the responce was : Tower login: root Password: Linux 2.6.32.9-unRAID. root@Tower:~# hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda /dev/sda: setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled HDIO_DRIVE_CMD failed: Input/output error APM_level = not supported root@Tower:~# according to my device list sda is the problem child here - I could not find where this solutions should not work for this drive this seems a little more elegant and less hassle than having to open the box - remove all drive connections other than the problem one and run a dos utility on it. can anyone assist ? also I saw a previous post mention putting the command in the go script - I assume this would make it permanet and mean that I dont have to reenter the command every time the box is booted right ? Thanks in advance.

if running under screen, you cwn reattach. It not,it is in /tmp if you have not rebooted. is temp folder available to explorer in windows ? I can see it via telnet

no one has any opinions? The more I look at the thermaltake - I like - the drive cage has a bottom to it that will help in heat dissipation - and a 2 level fan - up to 3000 rpm - it may be a winner - is there some thing about this I am not seeing?
