I ran into this myself after removing an AX200 Wi-Fi adapter from being passed through to a Windows 11 VM. It didn't appear in the Unraid network settings with an iwlwifi error -110. I found this solution is what fixed it. I just needed to shut the server down. Turn off the power to the power supply. Press the power button a few times. And wait a few minutes before booting back up. The Wi-Fi worked afterwards. (Just rebooting or even shutting down and rebooting didn't work. It was important to remove all power to fully reset the Wi-Fi device.)

I don't see a way to restore a minimized file operation job, or a way to cancel the currently running job either. (Unraid 7.1.2)

I need to move all the contents of my cache pool to my storage array in order to update the firmware on my NVMe drives (as a precaution more than full necessity), as I'll be removing the drives from the pool and passing them into a Windows VM. I found the mover was extremely slow, so I opted to use the Unraid file manager to move the contents of /mnt/cache to /mnt/disk3 directly. I also checked "use sparse option" for copying VM qcow2 disk images to preserve the sparseness metadata. While this seemed to be at least slightly faster than the mover, it's still incredibly slow, averaging in the single digit MB/s. Sequential writes to my HDDs are usually over 100 MB/s in comparison. When I run htop I can see there are at least 16 unique rsync processes running, which is likely a big reason for the slow write speed, with so many concurrent writes to the same disk. The number 16 may be a result of my 16-core CPU. But these file operations are definitely I/O-bound and not receiving any benefit from increased parallelism, rather the concurrent file operations are only slowing each other down. It would be helpful if there was a way to control this parallelism in file manager operations in some way to improve performance. The default choice also seems naive at best. I'd expect it to take into account the type of disk being written to and read from and avoid concurrent writes to and reads from the same hard disk.

I was finally able to fix this macOS VM. I'm not sure exactly what combination of things it was that fixed it (some things I eventually undid before it worked). I had to boot into a new macOS VM installation rescue environment and scan the broken VM's disk for errors, which it found and fixed. That may have been the main problem, but it wasn't the only thing required because it still wasn't working afterwards.

My Unraid server recently has experienced several hard shutdown/reboots which seem to be caused by a RDP connection to my Ubuntu Linux VM. After the last time this occurred, my macOS VM will no longer boot. It was running when the server crashed. After the first reboot, the VM was pegged at ~50% CPU usage. After rebooting the server again, the CPU usage is lower, but the VM still hangs on the initial boot screen. Running qemu-img check vdisk1.qcow2 indicates no errors in the disk image. I've attached my server diagnostics. One thing that stands out in logs/libvirt.txt are these lines: 2025-04-02 08:25:08.529+0000: 13236: error : virFileIsSharedFsFUSE:3503 : unable to canonicalize /mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img: No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:08.530+0000: 13236: error : virQEMUFileOpenAs:12154 : Failed to open file '/mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img': No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:08.530+0000: 13233: error : virFileIsSharedFsFUSE:3503 : unable to canonicalize /mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img: No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:08.531+0000: 13233: error : virQEMUFileOpenAs:12154 : Failed to open file '/mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img': No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:08.537+0000: 13236: error : virFileIsSharedFsFUSE:3503 : unable to canonicalize /mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img: No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:08.537+0000: 13236: error : virQEMUFileOpenAs:12154 : Failed to open file '/mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img': No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:09.848+0000: 13234: error : virFileIsSharedFsFUSE:3503 : unable to canonicalize /mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img: No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:09.848+0000: 13234: error : virQEMUFileOpenAs:12154 : Failed to open file '/mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img': No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.397+0000: 13236: error : virFileIsSharedFsFUSE:3503 : unable to canonicalize /mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img: No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.397+0000: 13236: error : virQEMUFileOpenAs:12154 : Failed to open file '/mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img': No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.410+0000: 13234: error : virFileIsSharedFsFUSE:3503 : unable to canonicalize /mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img: No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.411+0000: 13234: error : virQEMUFileOpenAs:12154 : Failed to open file '/mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img': No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.411+0000: 13232: error : virFileIsSharedFsFUSE:3503 : unable to canonicalize /mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img: No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.412+0000: 13232: error : virQEMUFileOpenAs:12154 : Failed to open file '/mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img': No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.412+0000: 13235: error : virFileIsSharedFsFUSE:3503 : unable to canonicalize /mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img: No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.413+0000: 13235: error : virQEMUFileOpenAs:12154 : Failed to open file '/mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img': No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.415+0000: 13236: error : virFileIsSharedFsFUSE:3503 : unable to canonicalize /mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img: No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.415+0000: 13236: error : virQEMUFileOpenAs:12154 : Failed to open file '/mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img': No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.417+0000: 13235: error : virFileIsSharedFsFUSE:3503 : unable to canonicalize /mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img: No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:10.417+0000: 13235: error : virQEMUFileOpenAs:12154 : Failed to open file '/mnt/user/domains/macOS/vdisk1.img': No such file or directory 2025-04-02 08:25:16.456+0000: 13231: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1781 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error The vdisk for the VM is actually named vdisk1.qcow2. I renamed it when this became the default for qcow2 formatted vdisk files in Unraid 7. Both the filename and the VM XML define it as vdisk1.qcow2. So I don't know where it's getting this old vdisk1.img filename. I tried renaming the file back to vdisk1.img and changing it in the XML, but it continues to log the same error and the VM doesn't boot. (The VM was previously working fine with the vdisk1.qcow2 filename before the hard system reboot.) My next thought would be to delete the VM and recreate it. But I would like to know what the issue is and where the VM state is corrupted. Any idea what the issue is that's preventing the VM from booting and how to fix it? hobbes-diagnostics-20250402-0243.zip

Set ShowPicker to false in your config.plist.

See my messages above about installing the VMHide kext. It's needed to be able to authenticate with your Apple account.

If all you're using OpenCore Configurator for is mounting the EFI partition, you can ignore that version warning. It applies to using the configurator to modify the OpenCore bootloader. I'd still recommend updating your OpenCore bootloader anyway though. It's similar to updating kexts, but a little more involved. There are detailed instructions in the guide. The basic steps are: Backup your vdisk in case anything goes wrong, so you can revert Mount the EFI partition (as described above) Download the latest OpenCore version Copy and replace the files from the release's X64 folder to the EFI partition Compare your EFI/OC/config.plist file with the Docs/Sample.plist in the release using a file comparison utility Add any new keys from the Sample.plist to your config.plist You can look up the purpose of the keys and potentially change the values as needed Reboot and confirm everything's working as expected I also recommend updating any other kexts that you have in your EFI/OC/Kexts folder to their latest versions.

You'll need to edit your EFI partition. You can use a tool like OpenCore Configurator to mount the partition or just run this command from the terminal: sudo diskutil mount EFI Kexts are located under EFI/OC/Kexts. Download the latest VMHide-X.X.X-RELEASE.zip and extract. Copy VMHide.kext to EFI/OC/Kexts. You'll also need at least Lilu 1.7.0+. Download the latest Lilu-X.X.X-RELEASE.zip and extract. Copy and replace Lilu.kext in EFI/OC/Kexts. In order to load a Kext, it needs to be configured in OpenCore's configuration, located at EFI/OC/config.plist. You can open it in a plist editor, like ProperTree, or just a text editor. Under Kernel->Add add an item for VMHide.kext, similar to the other entries (Lilu should already be there), after the last entry and before </array>. The entry should look like this: <dict> <key>Arch</key> <string>Any</string> <key>BundlePath</key> <string>VMHide.kext</string> <key>Comment</key> <string></string> <key>Enabled</key> <true/> <key>ExecutablePath</key> <string>Contents/MacOS/VMHide</string> <key>MaxKernel</key> <string></string> <key>MinKernel</key> <string>23.0.0</string> <key>PlistPath</key> <string>Contents/Info.plist</string> </dict> Note Enabled is set to true, so the kext is loaded and MinKernel set to 23.0.0 since it's only required in macOS Sequoia+. Save the config.plist file and reboot. The VMHide kext should be loaded and working now.

Installing the VMHide kext resolves the issue with Apple accounts on macOS Sequoia. After installing the kext, I was able to click continue on the "Update Apple account settings" prompt and it succeeds.

I keep seeing this same error on VMs after updating to Unraid 7. The VM also works fine after editing the XML directly or using virt-manager. For example, this XML gives the error. (I get a similar output to virt-xml-validate as above.) <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <domain type='kvm'> <name>Windows</name> <uuid>c5fafdf0-2897-de05-b6c1-226f5cbaef79</uuid>
