[Windows 11 VM - Possible to have Vdisk to show as SSD ?]

2 hours ago, JonathanM said:

Try adding this code to the bottom of the XML, editing to match your SCSI volume if needed.

<qemu:commandline>
  <qemu:arg value='-set'/>
  <qemu:arg value='device.scsi0-0-0-0.rotation_rate=1'/>
</qemu:commandline>

Be sure to back up everything, you may break something badly, I have NOT tested this.

I tested this for SCSI and SATA and it worked. I was able to get it working by just changing to the appropriate device\volume name.

 

 

Example below 

 

 </devices>
  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-set'/>
    <qemu:arg value='device.scsi0-0-0-2.rotation_rate=1'/>

Have you read through this thread?

 

I just tried this. This makes drive into a "thin provisioned drive" but the drive still shows as a HDD under the main system

 

I am still getting the following error.

 

[Windows 11 VM - Possible to have Vdisk to show as SSD ?]

I was hoping if anyone knew a possible way to have the Vdisk show as an SSD instead of HDD in Windows. With the recent windows update you can now run Android Apps native; however it required to have an SSD. Even though my Vdisk is stored on my cache drive so runs at SSD speeds it however will show as a HDD under windows due to the VirtIO drivers.  Any recommendations would be great.

 

[OBS 27.2 Running in Windows 10 VM Bug]

On 2/19/2022 at 6:28 AM, Wolbaz said:

I brought this to the OBS community and was basically told not our problem, so I'm hoping someone here can help.

 

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/5978

 

I've tried this on my two normally running VM's and even spun up a brand new VM and still had the same issue. Downgrading to 27.1.3 fixes the issue. Am I just going to be stuck on 27.1.3 forever?

I use OBS and have Zero issues doing this.  First find out if Audio Output Capture works at allnot just browser source). If it dose work with Audio Output Capture but not browser source then it sounds like its an issue with the browser.  If it still not working in another Browser i suggest making sure 

Monitor and Output is on and running OBS as Admin.

Curious as to your reasons for that.

 

I have a low power bare metal pf box that I keep updated periodically, but my daily pf is a VM in Unraid, much faster VPN and just overall performance. When the Unraid needs to go down for maintenance, the bare metal box is fired up to keep everyone connected, but for day to day use, it seems like a waste NOT to use the VM.

For advanced user such as yourself second baremetal setup as a backup is a viable solution but at that point in time why not run a bare metal system fulltime. It uses such low resources that any old machine can run it smoothly.
 

Personally using PFsense in a VM as my network routing seems high risk. If anything happens to Unraid or the VM, it would completely borked my entire network. If Unraid is your only network solution you could be up a creek without a paddle verry quickly.  Simply my concept is don't put all my eggs in one basket; as the last thing I want is be trying to fix my network and whatever happen to my unraid system at the same time.

Please post a screenshot of your VM page, Also post a screenshot of your IOMMU groups please. (Tools -> System Devices)

 

I see you have not turned on multifunction.  I took part of your VM XML and  changed it below. I also changed the secondary function to be under the same slot and changed the function.

 

Last I would never recommend having a PFsense VM and Windows VM the same Unraid sever.
In fact I wouldn't recommend having PFsense being on your unraid sever at all tbh, but that's just me do what ever makes you happy 😄.

Just some feedback- This gave me 50-60 fps on average at 1440p with almost everything set to ultra in Windows 11. Unfortunately, enabling Hyper-V within windows broke display output to my second monitor. so it's not a feasible solution for me... but it did get the game going at least!

 

Keeping the XML adjustments but DISABLING Hyper-V within windows does not allow the game to launch.

 

My passed through VM hardware- 3950x (8 isolated cores), 6800xt, 32gb RAM, SSD (bare metal).

I'm sorry to say butt I'm pretty sure that AMD GPU's will not work with the ioapic driver='kvm' ; thus creating the lag. I'm getting around 140 fps with my 2060 super (all on ultra) with an ultra wide monitor.

Why you using i440fx this always has issues with gpu passthrough.

 

multifunction is not in the correct spot

 

Passthrough all the other function of your video card then edit the multifuction . (usb port and other)
If you passthrough everything correctly you wont even need the bios.

Have you tried using a "Graphics ROM BIOS" for the windows VM. Also it recommended you install your own VNC on a Windows system; not try to load the VNC graphic controller and NVidia at the same time.
