  1. How do I actually get rid of these? They're not on my plugins list.
  2. I'm on 6.10.2-rc3 with an i7-12700k. I'm not interested in Plex transcoding, I made the hardware upgrade so I could transcode content for archival storage and I finally decided to take the jump and try it all out tonight. I've ran echo "blacklist i915" > /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf , installed Intel GPU Top + GPU Statistics, and installed Unmanic with the device specified in extra parameters. I have a task set up for hevc_vaapi (INTEL/AMD), hevc_qsv (Intel) and libx265 (CPU) to test things out. I thought I was going to have to install the new kernel to get results but I did a little initial test before I intended to do this and got results from all three. I only saw activity on GPU statistics for the vaapi/qsv tasks and to confirm this when I removed the /dev/dri device from the extra parameters those two tasks failed. It seems beyond doubt that I am transcoding with hardware. Am I good? Will I get better performance through being on the new kernel? Is something going to not work that would work if I was on the newer kernel? What's happening? So I'm not interested in transcoding in Plex, what I want to do is use transcode content for archival storage with something like unManic, Tdarr, etc. I've never actually passed through any GPU to anything in Unraid and
  3. YACY troubles. I had this same problem when I first installed it a couple months ago but I forgot how I fixed it until just now and I wanted to report in for anyone else having trouble. I also don't know if my fix is good or there's a more proper solution and would appreciate a warning if I'm going to have crews of hackers in there as a result. This is immediately after the install, it had already stopped itself by the time I went to the Docker page. ****************** YaCy Web Crawler/Indexer & Search Engine ******************* **** (C) by Michael Peter Christen, usage granted under the GPL Version 2 **** **** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

  4. When I was doing my own research I found a couple of people talking about ASUS IOMMU: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/asus-z690-usb-controller-and-ram-in-same-group/178838 Taking a punt that this is the motherboard in your bundle. I've been using a Win VM with a GPU plugged into a monitor and have not had any trouble on MSI.
  5. I've put this here rather than in Hardware as I think my question is ultimately about HBA and storage bandwidth rather than motherboards but if someone with the authority to move it disagrees, please do as you will. The TL;DR is in yellow. I am really hoping someone who understands this stuff better than I do can tell me how accurate my own understanding of this situation is and what is wrong with it. I went to art college and it's a miracle I'm as competent with computers as I am and in this case I need reassuring or warning. Here is my board, and its spec sheet and manual. It is housing an i7-12700K and the HBA I have purchased is the LSI SAS 9207-8i. I wanted one of the Z690 boards where the 5.0 lanes feed two x16 slots that can go 5.0 x16/x0 or 5.0 x8/5.0 x8 as this meant I didn't have to try and work out the answers to the first questions I'm asking here but the extra cost of the board plus sinking money into early adopter DDR5 sticks was very off-putting when I already have a more than suitable DDR4 kit for my needs and the only DDR4 version with that config isn't easily available here. As the 9207-8i is a PCIe 3.0 x8 device it would be obvious that it would be completely happy in either of the 5.0 x8 slots on the boards I didn't buy and the single 5.0 x16 on the one I did. Here is the PCIe offering I have to work with: ...in addition to.... .... should this become relevant as I gained enough from reading the chipset spec and looking at the diagram that these things all use essentially the same resources to eventually reach the CPU/chipset. I had initially thought I'd need the 9207-8i in PCI_E1 and then I'd need to find a pair of -4i cards to occupy PCI_E3 and PCI_E4 if I wanted to have the headroom to reach "... in a desktop case? really?" levels of HDDs eventually. I dug a little deeper and started to make assumptions. Say I just put the 9207_8i in PCI_E3. It's an x16 slot so it physically fits, but the 9207-8i is going to have access to half of the 3.0 bandwidth its form factor and spec sheet say it wants. That's going to suck, surely? The 9207-8i is in the HBA speed test thread: At absolute peak capacity it can use 4520 MB/s of bandwidth. I note a similar number on section 3.2 of the 9207-8i manual. I'm led to believe that 3.0 x4 is worth 4000 MB/s and 3.0 x8 is worth 8000MB/s, so at absolute peak capacity 9207-8i is only using ~12.5% of the extra bandwidth that the step from 3.0 x4 to 3.0 x8 affords it. Furthermore, I'm using HDDs that are quoted at 259MB/s transfer speed so even if I have the full 8 drives running at full speed at once that's only 2072MB/s and comfortably under the 3.0 x4 bandwidth ceiling. It's probably suboptimal but also basically fine to be running my 9207-8i chock full of comparatively slow rusty ol' HDDs in a PCIe slot with 3.0 x4 of bandwidth rather than 3.0 x8 of bandwidth, right? If this follows then I can run a 9207-8i in each of PCI_E3 and PCI_E4 and suddenly I can add in the same number of SATA ports through the HBAs but I have my PCI_E1 slot back which is pretty exciting because I'm currently using one of the passively cooled GT710s and I'm looking at an RTX 3080 shaped gap. Am I tempting the wrath of dark forces by not knowing the meaning of the cryptic motherboard input/output capacity runes and foolishly thinking I can wield the power of 4 cutting edge 4.0 x4 M.2 SSDs, up to 22 SATA ports and a current generation flagship GPU in the same low-to-mid-end desktop motherboard without consequences? Because that seems too good to be true and I've seen enough people sharing their experiences of using certain M.2 slots turning other features off that it has me paranoid. ....and a bonus thing I've been wondering about while I have your attention: Do I put my parity drive in the HBA with the rest of my spinning HDDs or is there any advantage to giving it a motherboard SATA port with my SATA SSDs?
  6. Is there anything that's not on DDR5 that has the x8/x8 PCIe layout or otherwise would facilitate me being able to run an x8 HBA without having to spend my entire 5.0x16 slot on it*? I really like the MSI Carbon but it's a bit above my intended MB budget and it brings with it a colossal overspend on DDR5 RAM. I've found the MSI Unity and the Gigabyte Aero D in similar configurations but nothing with DDR4. Any stray takes on good MBs for our purpose? I went down the path of thinking that it would be ASRock because they went heavy on the 8 SATAs but then started thinking PCIe would actually be better to prioritise for aforementioned HBAs but I've actually found the ecosystem a bit limiting in that respect. Is the answer to just run multiple x4 HBAs? I've been looking at the MSI Edge DDR4 that is basically the MSI Pro-A everyone likes but a bit more PCIe to play with and all the M.2s are 4.0. I think. *I'm not entirely sure I understand how the PCIe slots work on the boards. Please tell me I'm wrong and I can jam those physically-x16-but-actually-only-3.0x4 slots full of x8 HBAs and it'll work.
  7. If I'm happy to wait on the iGPU P/T are there any other catches or active issues running Alder Lake or specifically an i5-12600K/i7-12600K? I've never been on the cutting edge of hardware before, but I'm also really keen to get the new system up and running.
  8. I was running unRAID on metal with Windows 10 as a VM but it just wasn't really working out for me. I'm also not in a great financial position to build a second machine, as much as I would like to. I'm back to having Windows 10 running on metal but I really miss using unRAID as a Docker frontend/manager. I really like how it does this and frankly have found Docker Desktop on Windows a confusing drag. I can handle it on Ubuntu but I get out of my comfort zone very quickly with CLI on Windows. I want to pass through a SATA SSD to use as a cache and one of my HDDs as the 'array'. I won't be running any typical VMs, just Dockers. I have switched to running my media server online but I want to have some torrent clients, a backup occasional use Plex and some other assorted media management/frontend apps. I do not have a HBA to segregate the drives for Windows 10 from the hypothetical unRAID VM. I am hoping whatever I am using to virtualise can mount these two drives into the VM as I've been doing with an Ubuntu VM in VMWare Workstation. What is the correct or easiest route to do this?
  9. I don't game much any more but I have a nice 2700X and I'd like to take my media server offline and be able to take advantage of a lot of the stuff Unraid offers in general really. I've sketched out a build that currently looks like this AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B 51.17 CFM CPU Cooler Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard MSI GeForce GT 710 1 GB Video Card Fractal Design Define R5 ATX Mid Tower Case SeaSonic Platinum 400 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular Fanless ATX Power Supply Noctua NF-A14 PWM 82.5 CFM 140 mm Fan x 3 I might move the graphics card up to the slightly more expensive but also passively cooled and fairly low power 1030 2GB but I hope the theme is clear that I want this thing to be quiet, have stacks of SATA 6gb/s ports, be efficient with the power it uses and use as little power as possible in roughly that order. I'm months away from the final build and I'm expect to have to navigate potential compatibility problems, particularly if I try and do what I'm about to ask. Feel free to point out if anything is currently a glaring problem but assume my question is about parts that play nice together. I still have a GTX 1060 6GB. I had planned on selling it as it's currently selling for more than I paid for it, but I've read about Unraid users who have several graphics cards passed through to separate VMs and I'm contemplating keeping it. I'd be using it very sparingly. I do some transcoding/encoding from time to time and especially not having Intel QSV on board having a decent graphics card on standby has benefits there. I am also drawn to the idea of still having the option to game if the feeling caught me. What I really want to know is when I boot up the VM that has the beefcake GPU passed through to it, is the beefcake GPU off/not drawing power/not spinning its fans or is the beefcake jogging on the spot waiting for its moment to shine?
