Think I understand now, looks like im running into an issue with remaining sata ports, so far im not able to add any disks. Is there a pci controller with 2 internal sas ports and 2 external ones that works with unraid?

If appdata and the other default shares are configured for disk 1, what happens when the nvme is converted to cache? Does cache drop the disk number and let me assign a new disk as 1?

las-noches-diagnostics-20210909-0647.zip I attached the diagnostics. Could it be as simple as adding the new drives to be included in the shares, copy the data, then remove the old disk from the share settings?

So when I originally built my server I misunderstood the cache drive option and never added one. So I currently have a nvme drive as disk 1 included in the array. I'm expanding my server and adding 4 new disks and replacing parity with a larger disk. I want to relocate all shares on disk 1 to another disk on the array, and convert it to a cache disk. What do I need to do to safely move the data without losing the docker and app configs?

Yeah no kidding! No idea what was going on but I appreciate the help!

So I did the reboot and it looks like persistenced is off but its still transcoding fine

I have it working now. It didnt work on the first attempt though, I checked my plugins and there was an error with gpu statistics, deleted the error, updated all plugins, restarted docker, and now Plex and Jellyfin are working with persistence mode enabled. Is it possible an outdated plugin could have caused the problem?

On the latest BIOS now and nothing has changed, update was done through the BIOS with a monitor connected to the GPU directly Jellyfin giving the same error if HW Transcoding is enabled and Plex is ignoring the GPU.

Currently no monitor is attached and VMs are disabled

I will check out the BIOS later today and see if I can get that updated. As far as the monitor goes it will be detected on boot and load into the boot gui and all, and will also passthrough to a VM and work fine.

No custom Kernel The only BIOS updates for this board recently were to add support for the Zen3 architecture and I believe it was beta? Im not quite sure but I will have to verify/update the BIOS at a later time New Config las-noches-diagnostics-20210515-1631.zip

The behavior didn't change checking all the boxes either. Tried that driver previously and rebooted before and after installing the plugin and driver, also disabled/enabled the docker. I honestly have no idea if this GPU had a power connector, its been in the server for a year now and worked perfect previously. If there was a connector it has to be connected, I used to use it to play games in a VM and it never struggled I've actually had this problem ever since the previous plugin stopped receiving updates, when there were Nvidia versions of the beta. Once I changed over to the official versions the GPU stopped working for transcoding entirely I have no idea if something when wrong when the OS updated either las-noches-diagnostics-20210515-1600.zip

Sorry misread that part. So with this one the videos either do the same thing, wont use the GPU, or I get this playback error GPU seems to still be detected

Just installed binhex-jellyfin to test and same behavior Added the variables, enabled HW transcoding in the settings, CPU still doing all the transcoding Card never leaves the P0 power state
