The fios router I have now sucks, once I get the network cards I ordered I'm building an fpsense box and I'll probably do this. Makes it easier I guess.

An update in case this helps someone else. After pulling my hair out I randomly tried something the other night, changing the static up to a high value. It was .35 I changed it to .135 and so far everything is stable. So, I guess another device was also trying to use that ip and it collided, maybe it's time to read more about using static/dhcp on the same network.

I've been seeing weird things on my server as far as load and I'm hoping this is the cause. I just noticed this morning when trying to track down why the load was 4 on a basically idle server. Could this be causing my issues? Where to start on this?

So now I can't get to the server...at all. Strange enough I can get to the Windows VMS on the unraid box but not ssh or the web interface. This pretty much tells me it's an unraid thing. How can I access the Vm on the same box but not ssh in? To be clear, it's a different ip but there is only one network card in the system. Update: So I can't get to it from other machines but if i'm on the physical machine but in the windows vm (hooked up to the monitor) I can get to unraid.

Damn drives are pricey! New server is setup but naked, I only have an 500GB SSD and I'm been putting off the hard part of buying HDs. Ideally I get them all setup at once so I can move my old server (27TB) over at once which means I need 5 drives. If I got the red route that's $1600 where if I go the seagate route it's $1150 so a $450 savings which is another drive for backup all ready to go. I've read a lot about the archive drives and they seem fine for unraid but the only thing making me second guess them is read speeds for plex. Has anyone done a benchmark on how many streams could be read at once? I'm assuming these could easily keep up with transcoding/network speeds but I want to make sure first. I'm not really worried about write speeds since I have a cache pool and things really never change once they're written. Advice?

Wow, that works great! Thanks. I just shared a share on tower2 using NFS and using that plugin was able to mount it on tower1. Works great.

Server one is out of space and I'm slowly building up my new server but I can't afford to get fill it with drives so it's a slow process. Since tower1 is out of space though I'd like to start using tower2 for new stuff but have tower1 have access to it. Is this easily/reliable possible? Ideally once I have the space on tower2 I'd like to move entire shares over to tower2 while tower2 still reads it. Thoughts?

I'm passing a MSI GAMING GeForce GTX 1060 through just fine.

Is this an unraid/vm thing or bios? So it appears others have had this issue and everyone thinks it's a kernal/unraid issue. This has been going on for years and no solution?

Any thoughts on this?

That makes sense. Since I have these already setup as dockers is it easy to move them over to the new server? The thought of setting all of them up again makes me sick. :'(

I had this issue yesterday and solved it by a combination of cpu pinning (correctly, make sure you get the cores matched right) and changing the Hz value in the windows preferences. Once fixed the drop, the other fixed the static. I also passed through the entire USB bus which was causing crashes.

So I have a Windows 10 VM up and running I'm using for gaming and probably security dvr. Since this is up and running is it better to just use this for other things that would be in a docker (plex, couch, etc) or should I still use the dockers?

I don't know if it's unraid or something hardware related but it's annoying because it closes VNC too.

Just happened again, here are the diagnostics. skylon-diagnostics-20161002-1749.zip

I'm assuming this is hardware since it doesn't happen to my other server but after not using it for a while (it's new so nothing is running) I try to browse to the web interface and I get it can't connect. If I keep refreshing it comes back after a few (5-10 seconds) but it's annoying. Is something going to sleep and waking up? What would this be called if it was a bios feature?

Finally got everything for my S2600CP2J dual xeon setup and it's amazing. My next plan is to get Windows 10 setup with passthrough graphics and sound so I can use it as a gaming machine. The S2600CP2J doesn't have sound so I'm assuming I'll need some kind of sound card? I don't need anything fancy so would one of those cheap usb sound cards work or are they trouble? For a gpu I was looking at the MSI GTX 1070. Would I have any issues with this card (drivers, passthrough, etc?). Any other suggestions before I venture down this road?

Case probably not but you could try. Doesn't say it supports e-atx. Power is fine but it only has one cpu power so you'd have to get an adapter.

I doubt anyone can answer that unless they have those exact fans. :-) That's the system I was going to order but found a better deal on ebay, might want to do a quick check there.

Homeseer is just too expensive and I hate how every little thing is extra money, cost you $1k just to do the stuff the others do out of the box. It does seem like it's very versatile and stable though. I think they're going to release more on Google Home next month and the echo is also pushing directly into this space but it may take a year or so to catch up. There's also HomeKit if you're an iOS household.

Buy the vera and we'll swap. I have ST, not impressed, it leaves me wanting more. Everything is in the cloud too so if they're network is down or there is latency good luck turning on lights.

I want ssd for vms and I don't want to loose them if the drive fails but I also don't want to "waste" an ssd drive just for backup so I was planning on just getting a single disk and backing up the vms to the array periodically. Is this okay, do the vms have to be spun down to do this? Any issues with this?

I haven't ordered it but was going to. You can get it on ebay for like $10 or something. I don't have the link handy but if you can't find it I'll look it up as I saved it with the intent of ordering it. Probably still will. Thanks, yeah they're not cheap for such a small thin peice of metal. I'll probably skip it..

Yeah, I have two s2600cp2j's each with (2) gt730's (for VMs), and a third s2600cp2j with (1) gtx1080 (win 10 on bare metal). I'm assuming the 1080 is in the x16 slot (since there is only one). Does this hit the memory tabs? Looking at pictures it looks like it was easily hit those. Ordered my board/cpu/ram, now it's time to pick a case/power/fans Nope, in my rig, the 1080 is in slot #3 (from the left; the first blue open ended slot). As I only have one CPU in at the moment, the other blue slot (#5) can't be populated as it's only available when using a 2nd CPU. Well, learned two new things today. There isn't a huge speed different between x8 and x16 and an x16 card can fit in an x8 slot which just seems odd but cool!

Any updates on this? I'm looking to do something similar and was curious how this ended up.
