[UNRAID 6.9.1 Wake-On-Lan still broken!]

Switched to 6.9.1 today, WOL was unstable / not working. Server went to Sleep immediately. Maybe its a bug with S3 Sleep. Downgraded to 6.8.3 - everything works like a charm.

[Unraid freezing after Case / PSU Swap (solved)]

Solved the problem, but dont ask me how. I did several BIOS resets, took all GPUs out. Couldnt activate IOMMU Groups for a while, some forth and back. It had something to do with the VMs and their passthrough GPUs. Now everythings back running.

[Unraid freezing after Case / PSU Swap (solved)]

Hey guys,

yesterday i transfered my Server to a new case with a new PSU. Added two more GPUs and a new HDD. System booted as always. After a second shutdown problems came up. Had lots of Kernel Panics, VFS not mountable etc. Re-flashed my Stick multiple times, saved and restored config. System is now rebooting on 6.8.3 in safe mode, i can start the array in maintenance mode. But in regular mode my RAM gets 50% usage or more but docker and VMs are disabled.

Running MEMTEST at the moment, change some settings at BIOS (C-Stage, PSU idle control)

 

Diagnostics attached.

[Which X570 AM4 Board for 2x GPUs and 1x Asus Hyper M2 - Video Editing Setup]

with these requirements you basically have to go for a threadripper CPU or something similar from Intel.

for threadripper there are even boards that have support for four NVME SSD´s and also offer 4 PCI-E slots at the same time something like the Gigabyte TRX40 DESIGNARE

 

be aware that most of this is only needed because you want 3x NVME SSD´s if you would be fine with 2x NVME and would use some SATA SSD´s on top of that you would easily continue to use the 3700X with basically any X570 board out there.

The question is mostly how much is that extra NVME worth to you and do you need the extra performance you could get from a threadripper setup

 

The third NVME isnt mandatory, its just already here. The X570 setup would be x8x8x8? Any specific recommendation? I dont need wifi, usb-c, 10gb lan etc. Just lanes

Hey Guys,

 

i´ve set up my first two Unraid Servers, super happy with it. Now i need to build a new Workhorse-Machine. 

 

Requirements:

2x Video editing VMs (Premiere Pro  & After Effects)

2x Office VMs

NAS

 

Whats already there:

Ryzen 7 3700X

1x 1660 Ti

1x 1650

3x NVMe 1TB (2 for Cache, 1 for VM Storage)

1x HDD WD 12 TB for Parity

1x HDD WD 10 TB for Storage

1x HDD WD 8 TB for Storage

 

My problem is to find a 570x Mainboard which features enough lanes for two GPUs + the Hyper Card. There some special interesst boards like the ASRock X570 Creator.  x8 is enough for both GPUs, but the Hyper Card needs Bifurcation x4x4x4x4. I am aware that the Ryzen 7 does not provide enough cpu lanes. But since the cost of the project is secondary, I would also use a threadripper if necessary.

 

Thanks!
