Bought a Zotac GTX 1650 to put in my server. It bootloops before even getting to the BIOS. I checked the wattage the system is pulling and its less than 150W on boot so I don't think its a PSU issue. I really have no idea whats going on here. Specs and actual device are listed. Is it just not compatible or something? https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/tips0811-system-x3100-m4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0881YZJ45?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

So I have a video card coming and since I use a SFF PC and my wife uses a laptop we are looking to get off of iGPUs (Ryzen). The question I have is what is the best option to remotely connect to it. I tried Parsec from my pc to the laptop and the quality was at least half and was choppy. These are both wired connections. To put it into perspective Shadow PC works flawlessly so I don't think its a connection issue. I am willing to pay for software that works like that but just so much BS out there on this topic. Dont need help getting GPU working in a VM. Just the method to connect for optimal playing. Thanks for any tips.

I have used this procedure to move to another server before and worked well https://support.plex.tv/articles/201154527-move-viewstate-ratings-from-one-install-to-another/

Switching to Q35 solved the issue.

So I am using an image downloaded directly from Microsoft. I have nothing special setup for it. I can get to setup and all the way through to the first reboot. At that point it completely freezes and does nothing. Hard reset of VM causes windows to say fatal error and to start install over. I have ran win 11 VMs in the past. Just don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

There is a bug report open for it. Seems updating syslinux has fixed it for some.

One thing I have had to do previously, was copy the DB files out and let it rebuild it from scratch. Then I just moved the data from the old db to the new one it created. I typically use https://sqlitebrowser.org/ I am sure there are better ways to repair it but this seemed like an easy way. And the most important part of plex is the watched state. I have used this previously https://support.plex.tv/articles/201154527-move-viewstate-ratings-from-one-install-to-another/

Should still work

Wherever you have appdata going. For example mine is at /mnt/cache/appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases

Please post diagnostics

Do you get the same results using incognito mode?

Plex usage seems about normal. As for sabnzbd, are you doing anything with the completed downloads? If you are then sab folder should not be that large. You can check completed and incomplete folders for sab and delete what you don't need. Pihole seems quite large. Might be log files. Can safely delete those if not needed. Unifi might be log files again. I would poke around that appdata folder and see what is making it so large.

Set Use cache pool to yes for that step

You need to have the same path within the containers. My setup is similar. For example, for Bazarr instead of mounting /movies and /tv separately, only mount /mnt/user/Media to something like /media inside the container. Then just point Bazarr to /media/Movies for that and /media/TV Shows for tv. Do that for the rest also.

I have a IBM tower server and see something similar. But I don't even get the boot menu. I have it set to boot to GUI by default, so I just wait till I see the GUI from the server output. Since I got this server I have not once seen the boot process from the output of the integrated video. But through IPMI I can see the entire boot process. Its quite strange but it ultimately works.

Is there no USB drive in the computer? Unraid is not installed on a physical disc and only boots from the USB. Also, all drives are technically independent. So plugging them into another linux computer will allow you to see the data on the drives individually as a last resort

So not sure if this a bug or not but I did the procedure without issue and everything was fine. Decided to just to do 2 pools, and named them both differently. Specifically not "cache". After starting the array I went to the shares tab to update my shares. All shares defaulted to the first pool and I changed a couple to use the new pool. The problem lies that these shares that say they are using the first pool are not actually using that first pool which can be confirmed by the share cfg file which still had "cache" as the pool the share was using. So my thought is, that if the config file doesn't have a valid cache pool then in the GUI it shows the first available. But this isn't correct. I had to in the GUI, switch to a different pool then the first one to get the save button to not be greyed out. And I assume I could have manually edited the cfg files to use the right pool. This is obviously probably an edge case and not sure of a solution to propose since shares only show up after array is started. But IMO, the config and GUI should match even though it might be incorrect. Because the way it was I almost assumed those shares were going to use the new pool without issue but there was a lot of issues.

I am looking at replacing my cache pool. Currently, I have 3 drive cache pool and going to replace all with a single drive. My steps that I think will work are Create new cache pool Stop docker and VM services Copy everything from old cache to new cache Stop array Remove old cache Rename new cache to old cache name Start array If I am thinking of this correctly, then this will not force me to change the paths for appdata for all my containers. Just looking at confirmation before doing this.

I'm sure that's it. Pretty sure that was on your advice too and just forgot about it. Thanks

Well it seems it isn't resolved. Or else its just from when it had errors, but keep getting notifications that cache pool has errors. I have rebooted assuming it was still seeing it in the syslog. Scrub comes back clean for real this time.

Meh, I can't read I guess. Verify=388 means that many errors. After running correcting scrub everything is fine now it seems.

I shut down the server to install another drive. Upon boot, server was barely responsive and cpu was pegged at 100%. The only way I could shut it down was pull the plug. I rechecked all cabling for the drives. Turned it back on and getting btrfs errors. Scrub went without error, and shown below. All data on cache device seems to be intact. Any advice would be appreciated.

Try running the command manually. Open console for sonarr or radarr and run mediainfo /home/(removed)/files/completed/<file>.mkv Obviously with a proper file. This might give you more info.

My plex container is set to host network. I do not remember if I had a specific reason to do that or not. But it won't hurt to try that. It should at least force it to use the same IP as the unraid server. I am thinking that its just a network config issue.

What network is plex container using?
