Bump bump. virsh still eludes me... My Settings -- VM Manager "Enable VMs" says YES but my Status says STOPPED

AtomZ - what is the command for killing the VM via cli? Thanks, KermitJr

Has anyone found an update to this? I mean, there are plenty of places where people mention this as an issue. For me, it first happened when I tried to shutdown the server. VM tab hangs. Rebooted a couple of times (after hard reset) and it magically worked. So I decide to take server down. I have tried: - Goto VM tab, click, STOP - VM tab hangs Hard reboot a couple of times (Cause 1 reboot usually doesn't fix it) - Remote into VM and shutdown from there ... works 90% of the time. Except today it hangs. I've gone into settings and disable VMs and tab disappears. Re-enable - and tab hangs. BTW - Settings - VM Manager -- Disable VM Server - takes the tab away but the VM is still running (I can remote into it) Sometimes Libvirt fails to start. A couple of reboots and it'll magically start working again. But I shouldn't have to restart a bunch of times. So what logs or diagnostics do we need to get at this? Right now I'm running a Parity rebuild (added second drive). 30 hrs until its available.

Three things. First, THANK YOU! I realized this weekend I'm deep down the rabbit hole and was risking a LOT of lost time due potential cache drive failure and loss of appdata. Put a second one in the machine and taken care of. THEN found this app and have begun the process of figuring everything out. Second, I'd like to echo @acook who requested that Dockers only be turn off, in turn, as they are backed up. I'm not sure how painful that would be to implement, but it would certainly help reduce downtime on the end of the user. Third, and somewhat related... any chance of having a progress bar or percentage report for backup and verification (and restore?). I jumped in, not realized I had 295GB of /appdata and the world came to a screeching halt (and screeching from my family). I had no idea the timing! Took about 1h20m to backup (which I could monitor by size of tar file compared to appdata folder). Now I'm at 2h10m and still "verifying" the backup. NOTE: I _may_ or _may not_ be experiencing a data rebuild simultaneous to this evolution! But a progress indicator and/or estimate would still be very helpful!

I've been very happy with binhex-delugevpn Followed spaceinvaderone's video several years ago and it's still chugging like a champ (pia).

@Vr2Io , et. al. Took me a bit of time due to personal schedule, but things are humming along nicely! Really wanted to say thank you on the 12900k vs 13900k power discussion. I did end up opting for the 13900k for a couple of reasons, power usage being one of them. While I've not attached my Kill-a-Watt specifically to the server (upcoming project), I have been monitoring the usage according to the UPS. Perhaps not the most accurate, but it's been interesting. I'm running the cable modem and wireless router and server through it. Normally averages 70-75 watts. Running parity check (14,8,8,8) with torrents in the background and even a plex stream or two barely breaks three digits with the highest semi-consistent I've seen being 117W (Even I thought that suspicious so I just spun up for a parity check to confirm). Needless to say ... I'm a very happy camper / Unraider! Thanks to everyone for the feedback and help. I got a minecraft server running and few more services my older one choked on. Next up is VM with GPU passthrough. Fun times! Take care, Kermit

@Vr2Io, are you the only one who loves me? 🙂 (thank you for engaging!) Yes, I mean parity check speed. Literally cut in half with the above changes. I just logged in to check status of the thread, but first thing this morning, I put the new 8tb disk3 (old parity) on the "other side" of the HBA to rebalance it at 3/2 and parity check speeds are consistently at 190MB/s (which is normal until it gets past that remaining 4TB disk4). I suspect that it will then increase to the 210+ range. So while I understand "how disks are connected to the LSI HBA ports" shouldn't matter - it appears that it actually might in this circumstance? Again, I'm simply reporting realtime. Speeds might tank later into the parity check. Regardless, I'll follow up. And I thank you for your continued engagement! EDIT: Okay, it's at 3.75GB on parity check (still hitting that 4GB) and down to 100MB/s. Ugh. Temps are running 46 but that's shouldn't be an issue. I paused check to let the cool down and resuming put it at same slow speed. Will update soon. EDIT2: So once it made it past the 4TB drives, the speed is still around 140-150 MB/s, which is a 25% reduction in speed. Really odd but I'll set up the new server soon and troubleshoot from there.

Howdy all! I had: 8tb Parity 8tb Disk1 8tb Disk2 4tb Disk3 4tb Disk4 All running on same LSI SAS2308. EDIT: Balanced at 3/2 for the two SAS-to-SATA splitter ports. Speed: 205MB/s+ Upgraded Parity and moved to data: 14tb Parity 8tb Disk1 8tb Disk2 8tb Disk3 (old parity drive) 4tb Disk4 Now, I did put the Parity is in a new slot, but still on same HBA, I think. EDIT: Now split at 4/1 for the two ports. New Speed: 110MB/s consistently. Attaching diag if anyone can help or has any ideas. Mobo is an MSI K9A2 Platinum with SataII 3Gbps. The LSI SAS2308 is a SataIII 6Gbps. The reason I'm confused - both configs have 5 drives on the HBA - so why a drastic speed difference? Appreciate any help in diagnosing. I'll have physical access tomorrow - so what would you move/check first? Cable? EDIT: Okay, asked family member to get some close up pics of cabling. The two 4TB drives are on cables 1&4 of the HBA controller (single side) the other disks (14,8,8,8) are ALL on cable 5-8. So the shift is instead of a 3/2 balance, it's now 4/1 for the two ports on the HBA. Could this really account for a near 50% drop in speed? that's going to be the first think I adjust. Only SMART issue I see with 8TB moved from Parity to Disk3 is "199 UDMA CRC error count 021" but that hasn't come back since clearing yesterday and I've been running parity for 12hrs. Thanks!

@Vr2Io, just wanted to say that folks like you are the reason I love unRaid (that, and it's a phenomenal product!). I made some shifts and went with the following.

You can change the Docker config so that /storage points to simply /mnt (vice /mnt/user/) and each disk will show up as a Directory to open. However, you won't see "/mnt/user" (not sure why). Hope this will help folks. KJ

@Dreeas - Welcome to the unRaid family! I'm a Veteran Noob 🙂 but it's been more than a decade and unRaid just works. And it works well. And the people are amazing!

Okay, so maybe I've had a bit of confusion on the bifurcation issue. The LGA1700 socketed boards allegedly have x8/x8 bifurcation for the x16 slots. That means that I could have 4 cards in the two gen5 slots and possibly 2 in the gen4 slot? Am I correct on this? Assuming the onboard SATA are enough for now, I don't need an HBA. I have a couple of nvme accessible for VM, cache, etc. Could also use m.2 to sata converter, if needed From a GPU card perspective I think I only need 1-2 GPU for VM (the igpu handles host and plex transcoding). I MIGHT need a 10GB nic later (but I could run a 10GB nic and GPU on x8/x8, right?). I think I was confusing VMs and IOMMU with bifurcation, etc. QUESTION: With the above board, is it correct to assume I can run everything I'm thinking and passthrough two GPUs to 2 VMs? Another option is the Gigabyte Z690 AORUS MASTER EATX LGA1700 Motherboard - couple of hundred cheaper but also has 10GBps ethernet built-in. I don't see a significant difference on z690 to z790 that impacts me. @abbzer0 I saw your thread on the z690 board you have and i9-12900k - curious as to your thoughts. Many thanks to all. KermitJr

@Vr2Io Thanks! That's very interesting indeed. I wasn't sure how well 13th gen was supported by the kernel. I know 12 was spotty for awhile, but if 13th is fixed also, I'd definitely be up for power savings (or performance boost). So let's pretend I just up it to 13900k. How well does the gpu passthrough (add-in card) work? I've spent years looking at Threadrippers and bifurcation issues. I somewhat understand it, but what impact does moving to intel have? Think I'll still be good to go? Thanks, Kermit

Howdy, fellow unRaiders! My original MSI K9A2 Platinum is showing it's age and I'm looking for some serious upgrade. Drives: - 1 parity - 3 data (for now) - cache - 2 dedicated nvme for 2 x VM Dockers: - Plex - running a half dozen concurrent streams - Deluge - Cloud - Pi - Arrs... x2 - Minecraft server VM: - Windows with Blue Iris (6 cams) - Windows with NVidia GPU passthrough for workstation Might run a BTC lightning node, etc. I was looking at TR for bifurcation support and stupide upgradeability later on. However, the iGPU of intel caught my eye, etc. My understanding is that I can use the iGPU for plex transcoding and the nvidia for workstation. The Blue Iris VM could run without a dedicated card. I'm trying to spend a bit more now for upgradeability later (add some RAM, new cpu, etc.) Appreciate your thoughts and input.

Many thanks to folks for the inputs. I think I might try a couple and run preclear a few times.
