What’s funny is I have an 11600k in it currently and it always has a core pegged doing something with Plex thumbnails or detecting intros. Playing a file isn’t hard. I never said NAS, if I’d wanted that I’d have just bought an actual NAS box. But I wanted more and I do more heavy lifting with mine than any Nas could do. There are people running VMs, gaming servers, etc. I don’t know why people insist on giving me their opinions on a question I didn’t ask. I simply asked in the pre-sales forum if they were looking at ARM support. It was a yes or no question for the people in sales. I shouldn’t have to defend why I’d like to see it. I think a lot of people would be running it that way. Just because you don’t see a reason for me to use time-machine to backup all my devices doesn’t mean I wouldn’t have a use for it.

I know. All I want is to use my intel ARC card!

How many 4k streams can that transcode at once? Does it have hardware accelerated video editing capabilities? Baked in Bluetooth support? Offer syncing with iPhones, MacBooks? From here that looks like a piece of junk that’s 1/4 the power on a good day and isn’t modernized at all. I don’t want that. I asked about ARM support because a Mac mini is better in every single way compared to that thing you posted and has a ton of capability, integration, and quality components baked in. It’s very power, efficient, and perfect for my use cases.

Because it’s 40watts all in and modernized.

Is ARM support being worked on? I’d really like to change everything with my setup and switch to the Mac Minis to run everything.

That’s the plan. Native support in unraid for the Plex docker. I know Plex will need to update its drivers as well.

That looks like a great reason to me to switch. I’m guessing this would require rewriting the entire array? Like formatting and starting all over?

So nothing as far as speed or anything goes?

Can someone in layman’s terms tell ‘em the advantage of switching from BTRFs?

Everything. A full fledge GPU to use for the system anytime acceleration can help

I’m here with an a380 sitting in a drawer myself.

Wish they’d update the kernel with 6.11.2 but must keep waiting. I want to put this little monster in my Plex rig without using a VM.

Why not use latest Linux kernel?

I am, too. If you manage to Laos your own drivers or find a way let me know!

When we say “next” do you mean 6.12 or 6.11.2? If it’s already in 6.0.1 is there a means to add it to current unraid 6.11.1?

I’m willing to wait a little. I can’t imagine it being much longer. I’ve never done a windows VM in unraid I’d probably screw more things up rather than help lol.

Newegg has them in stock so just ordered one. My goal is to take 4k REMUX and start encoding them to AV1 to transition the whole library to 4k.

if the driver is already there in the the latest kernel is there anything that needs to be tested? Wouldn’t that have already been done to put it in the kernel?

Ok so it’s supported in the new Linux kernel (had already read that). Is there an answer to my question of how to get it supported in unraid?

For the many of us that use unraid as a Plex server the new intel Arc a380 looks to be an amazing card for the job. Full hardware AV1, VP9, HEVC, and H264 support. Absolutely perfect for a Plex library. what would it take to get support for this into unraid?

You can run linux on m1 right now.... There wasn't any sort of real OS on a NAS box either but that's not the point. ARM support would be the logical next step.

Not as of yet I was trying to set the free space minimum before doing so.

I'm clicking on the pool name in the main tab. I have it set to critical at 90% but guess that doesn't stop it. I don't see anywhere where I'm allowed to set the minimum free space.

Ok. I've been in MC trying to delete a few but it says they are only read only and it's unable. I went and redid the permissions for everything and no luck as well. How much space does cache need to for mover?

Since moving to 6.10.2 it appears that I'm having more issues. It could be anecdotal as I never feel I'm done with my server and always doing something, perhaps it's something I did. But this time my cache has filled up. Mover will not move the files. I'm running CA fix common problems (why doesn't unraid just include this along with set new permissions in a common spot) and still awaiting it's results. It could be because I had the CA Mover tuning set wrong? I originally had it set to move ever 4hrs for now, doing a big initial pull, then I had it set to do so at 70%. Perhaps I misunderstood that and it would run every 4hrs only if the cache was 70% full. So another 4 hrs later it was 100% full. Anyway I've gone and told mover to start moving but after a half hour I'm still sitting at only 4.89GB of 2TB free. Does mover need more space on the cache than it has available to do this? Do I need to go into my cache in midnight commander and free up some space? tower-diagnostics-20220606-0807.zip
