@ itimpi: That has been changed... see directly above your post: My understanding is that is only for spinning disks and I am using an NVMe. It was an early error I made watching Space Invader One's video. Currently, the VM has been started - but I can't seem to RDP to it. There is supposed to be a place to "enable RDP" for the VM - but I can't seem to locate this. Also, I'm no even sure the IP address of the VM! How do I determine this?

I cannot seem to find where in my VM template one "enables remote desktop". Is this in the VM template or elsewhere? The VM Template Network Setting is set to br0. I do not know where the VM IP address is either. I am missing something basic. RDP should be easy but my lack of VM experience is probably showing.

Hi there, I've been trying to follow this video on how to create a dual boot system with WIndows 10 on an NVMe: How to dual boot baremetal windows and unRAID then boot the same windows as a vm - YouTube That does not work anymore with the current version (6.9.2). The setting were a bit tricky to get through due to changes between the video version and the one I'm using - but the real problem might be that the UUID I grabbed from my Windows machine (using wmic csproduct get UUID), seems to raise an error in UNRAID: The command prompt ID was copy/pasted to my UNRAID flash drive as suggested (presumably to eliminate typo's) and it is this: 3467b5f3-b0ea-ba89-bd6d-04421a07e0fc I would love to get this working - because once tested I can go ahead and purchase UNRAID and move on with the rest of the configuration, data copying, etc. Any ideas? My current template looks like this:

My settings in case it helps: However, the VM will not accept my UUID - which is 3467b5f3-b0ea-ba89-bd6d-04421a07e0fc, whiteout the aforementioned error.

Full error message here: VM creation error error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/hotattach.tmp error: internal error: cannot parse product 0x1939#remove , error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/hotattach.tmp error: internal error: cannot parse product 0x1939#remove error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/hotattach.tmp error: internal error: cannot parse product 0x0029#remove

Having similar problems - that video gives us a general direction but frankly, many things have changed in the UNRAID settings. Even just doing the UUID change gives me a VM creation error. I'm stuck here as well...

I just found this and will attempt to follow the process: How to dual boot baremetal windows and unRAID then boot the same windows as a vm - YouTube Well.... that does not work anymore with the current version (6.9.2) Can't even follow the settings - nothing works as described. The UUID change gives me a VM creation error. I'm stuck here.

Well 15 minutes later - still saying "Updating..." - so I clicked on the VMs menu and then hit edit on the Windows 10 template to review. Looks like it took the revisions; not sure why it hung in that state. So next, I tried to start the VM. First, I got the UEFI Interactive Shell window... ESC or other keys did not really do anything - but I was able to type exit; it then went to an old school BIOS setting window as before (Standard PC (Q35 + CH9, 2009) Reset dump me back to the UEFI IS v2.2... and I am in now "living in a mobius strip" - I think that should be the name of a song! Ideas?

OK - been doing some reading of other having similar problems and made some changes in my VM Template: First I mounted the NVMe drive in UD. Then wetn to the template and manually set the location to the Windows partition that is now available via UD. I left the vDisk blank, the type to the default raw and changed the Primary vDisk Bus to SATA. Then I click on UPDATE. The page currently says "updating" - but I'm afraid its been stuck like that for some time. Its either crashed or really taking its time. Rob

@ itimpi: Thanks-you. That's a relief. I don't a need vdisk. However, I cannot find anything in the docs that talk about "pass the entire drive through to the VM" - pass through talks about various things, graphics, USB, PCE, etc. But no hard drives. I also cannot see the "PassThru settings" either for the drive it self - or in settings for Unassigned Devices. The drive is currently not mounted. Do I need to mount first? In my VM template: Both HVM and IOMMU are enabled. I currently have a Windows 10 template using Q35-5.1 and OVMF. The VirtIO drivers are downloaded and available - as is a Windows ISO. (But as I've read your message, I can use my existing installation; which would be awesome!) Network bridge is set to public (br0) I also passed a local USB mouse. I just don't see anything in the template that passes the existing NTFS drive... A link to some prerequisite learning would be cool - I can't seem to find references in the manual on this. BTW: I tried to start this VM to see how far I could go - but had some strange problems going into some old school BIOS looking screen - and never managed to get to the Windows 10 installation. I had to force stop the VM - should I delete this one?

OK... my shares are working fine on my network. A bit concerned on performance - but I'll drill down in that later. What I'd like to do is install a Windows 10 VM on this machine. Currently, I have an 500GB NVMe that is partitioned into 3 sections - one is the working Windows 10 installation that I will try to replace as a VM. The other are 2 similar sized NTFS partitions. I've mounted this drive and so I can see it under Unassigned Devices. Its strange but each of the partitions (4 of them for Windows 10 - reserved, back-up, etc.) are all showing as 0 Bytes. I'm guess because UNRAID really does not deal with NTFS... Anyway - looking at this, I'm thinking I can't use this drive at all; unless the entire drive is formatted as XFS - and my entire approach to converting this machine hits a wall. If this is the case, can I install a Windows 10 VM on a spinning disk (that is currently getting pre-cleared for my next data drive), and then once I get it set-up and working, move the VM to the NVMe?

I also have this problem and got that exact same screen... I typed exit and it entered into some very old school BIOS looking screen:

Thanks - was not aware of that so that was great advice... appreciate it.

Yea... saw them both. That's why I know how to set custom paths and a profile etc. They don't really cover what happens when your screen goes black - or even basic navigation issues when the GUI disappears.

Struggling to understand how Krusader works - and its not even clear how to get support, so I went back here to pre-sales, since I have not yet purchased UNRAID. If I've posted in the wrong spot; my apologies. I've fllowed some on line videos for configuration but still I have a number of basic issues: 1) Black Screens: I've had a number of issues where the screen goes black and can't seem to get anywhere. In the end, I close the window and stop/start the container. That seems to work - but why? 2) Array Paths: I created a number of paths in the settings, but could not find a way to determine where the UNRAID Array drives are. (I currently have one Parity and one data drive in my array for testing. I've seen posts that seem to indicate different locations, so I'm confused. Why are physical drive paths so "nebulous"? My best guess at the moment is: mnt/disk 1 - so I set this as a path. IMHO: I would have thought there was: mnt/disks - so that later when I add more disks I can find them all there. 3) Is it working? I did a copy from an mounted unassigned disk folder to the root of mnt/disk1. Its about 1TB. After about 20 seconds nothing was happening - so I hit cancel. Started looking around in the settings; if I did something wrong. I went back and tried it again... again about 20 seconds - but this time, it asked me if I wanted to replace files in the destination! So it seemed that it started copying in the first attempt - but there was ZERO indication that it had. That's not cool - no visual feedback that something is working after I initiated an action is a problem to my eyes. I guess if you know what this (non-standard) behavior is, you would ignore it and move on. I'm thinking its broke. 4) Copy Screens: In the main GUI, the copy window(s) will disappear. I have not been able to figure out how to get to it - although I have - just not sure how... the problem is that once I do, I can't get back to the main GUI. The control bar seems of no use. Is there away to easily toggle back and forth? Much appreciated help on this...

OK - so only accessed via my intranet? I'm not sure how that is not a security risk. If someone somehow hacks into WiFi (not likely given my access policies - but I'm speaking in general now), UNRAID access has a well-known user: root. Perhaps no access to stored files but certainly to wreak havoc. Am I missing something?

Thanks Frank1940! 🙂 I prefer to not spaces at all with any shares or volume names - removing that symbol/underscore is perfect. Thanks for that link - I've been already reading security issues with SMB1. So I knew I was going to drill down on that once I started shares. My Windows Server had been hacked in the past (cryptocurrency miner) - so I take security pretty seriously... its why I asked about the root account above.

Aside from renaming folders and shares - see my last post, may I rename the "root" user to something more unique. Its like keeping the admin account in Windows. Thanks!

I will install the Parity Check Tuning plug-in. Thanks! I note - and to your comment about multiple copy processes - that as soon as I was down to one copy, the process was highly accelerated. It went down from 2 days to 10 hours! I won't make that mistake again. I do wish there was a way to queue copy processes (not just here, but in Windows) - where for example, holding a modifier down and click drag to copy/move, will queue subsequent processes - rather then doing them in parallel... but I digress. 🙂 So this evening that first copy should be complete; and I will test my shares on my Windows network. I have a question: One of the folders that I copied had an exclamation mark which has been replaced by an underscore. Is it a problem to change the share and folder name by removing the underscore?

@ itimpi: Gotcha. So instead I turned parity on. It completed this evening: Duration: 8 hours, 3 minutes, 54 seconds. Average speed: 344.5 MB/sec - for a 10TB WDC Gold. Still 3 Days for the copies to complete. Once that is done, I will test shares on my Network. Then I want to install Windows 10 as a VM on the same machine - to eventually replace the original Windows 10 installation. Once that is all working then I will start migrating one drive at a time, the other 8TB drives. I'll probably be back here to continue my education... 🙂

Gotcha... Lesson learned. This particular drive had three primary folders that were each there separate Windows shares. So, I did each copy one after the other - so they overlapped. The rest of the 7 drives will be one drive at a time - one copy at a time - followed by re-activating Parity after each one. Those other 7 drives do not have back-ups, but they are somewhat less critical - but frankly its why I'm moving to UNRAID. My plan now is to resume parity after each drive is added. If I get read errors on the source disks, not much I can do about that. Except for the parity drive (WDC Gold 10TB), all my drives are Ironwolf NAS 8TB drives; which I believe are CMR. Thanks again Frank1940 - and itimpi - for your guidance.

I pressed "Paused" on the Parity last night. This morning one of the three copies are finished, one is 2 days away and the other is 5 days away. This is with one 8 TB drive with about 7TB's total of actual data. Krusader is telling me I am getting <6MiB/s. That seems ridiculously slow. Once the copy is finished I will turn on the parity and have it completed. Then I will install Windows 10 in a VM - to replace the one that is on my standard boot drove for that machine. Then all my windows shares for my network... Once I test everything, I still have another seven 8 TB drives (56 TB's) to copy. Based on the first drive - and if the Krusader ETA's are accurate - it will take 35 days just for the data copy. (5 days x 7 drives). This does not include the parity process that I will turn back on after each drive so that everything is protect. However, at least everything is protected and I will have access to the data that has been copied.

Regarding copying files from explorer on Windows 10 machine to UNRAID. The UNRAID machine is the Windows 10 machine. When I rebuilt the 2008 Server machine I switched to Windows 10 and got all my shares working on my home network. Now I am trying to migrate everything to UNRAID - but its the same physical machine. I plan to create a Windows 10 VM once I test the first data drive. I want to make sure that the 3 shares this data drive provides, are working on all the Windows and Android network devices first. Hopefully, I can then run Windows 10 in a VM while URAID is operating. But for now, obviously, I do not have access to this Windows 10 installation; nor any of my data. I have a back-up of this one data drive - and I'm just doing a copy in any case; so should I pause the parity, hope that the copy happens faster and then start it again after its done?

Thanks for the UD forum link! That was perfect. I've managed to start some copy processes with Krusader: 3 top-level folders from the mounted NTFS data drive to my one XFS data drive. OMG - slow as molasses; after 2 hours, I have 17 GB of 7 TB's copied. It says it going to take 20 days to do that! I wonder if I should pause the Parity build and restart it after the copy?

I've been re-reviewing the Spaceinvader One Krusader video - to "easily" copy files... hmmmm. The video tutorial does not represent what I see on my system. Example - I have no "Unassigned" and "UNRAID" folders... not can I navigate to a mounted NTFS drive. It also seems like you need to create shares before you copy files or even have a directory. Is this an old plug-in? Why does it feel like I'm going backwards to pre-Windows 1.0 DOS explorers?
