I wanted to give you a big thanks for this guide! It worked like a charm. Now to work up the courage to update the authentik container itself

Zero errors on the second run. Hoping this was due to the failed upgrade or an unclean shutdown. Thank you for the help!

Will do. Thank you!

Hello, I've been trying to make my server more efficient and recently switched over from an Asrock B660m Steel Legend to a Gigabyte H610i motherboard to try and lower energy usage. That part has been successful and the server feels like it is performing well but upon running my first parity check, over 2000 errors were corrected. I didn't think much of it, assuming some data had been moved incorrectly during the rebuild process but I recently started a new check, and it once again found over 2000 errors. I am running a check with corrections on and am planning to run again with corrections turned off but was hoping someone could review my logs and see if the culprit is obvious. I'll add that I attempted to upgrade from 7.1.2 to 7.1.3 but had to roll back due to some networking issues. I also ran Memtest for about 3 hours and no issues were detected. Thanks for the help! tower-diagnostics-20250616-0731.zip

@pOpYRaid would you mind sharing what CPU you have? I have an i5-14600 with a Gigabyte H610i mobo and Pure Power 12 M 550W Gold power supply. I also purchased a new I226-V NIC to replace the onboard I219. Without the NIC installed, I can hit C8 and see power draw lows of 18W. With it installed, I can only hit C6 and typically will see lows in the 22-24W range. Not a huge penalty but was curious if you had any advice. I've enabled Native ASPM, confirmed that L1 is enabled across all peripherals and manually set the C-State limit to C10. I'm just itching for that sub 20W range! Appreciate it

@leheI haven't checked in on this in a while but after reading your comment, I hit C8! Really appreciate the info. An update: after forcing ASPM, my network speed on my server tanked. I have a 2.5Gbe hardwired connection and verified with iperf3 that my connection speed went down by about 5x. I reverted the change and saw my speeds return.

Thank you @bmartino1 for your response. Whenever I ask my voice assistant a question that requires Ollama, I see the 6 logical cores of my server spike. I tried to pin all logical and virtual cores to the docker container but it didn’t really change anything. I also attempted to pass my iGPU through to the container too but I don’t think it’s able to utilize it at this point. Thanks again!

Hello Unraid folks! I have been tinkering with Home Assistant's Voice Assitant feature and after watching the below video from Network Chuck, I decided to run Ollama 3.2 on my Unraid server for a better AI experience. I have everything up and running using the Ollama container found in the Community Store but when my assistant uses Ollama, there is about a 20 second delay until I get an answer. My Unraid server specs are below. Is this about what I can expect or are there ways to speed up the response time? I tried the tinyllama model in lieu of 3.2 but it's not as capable. Any guidance/information is greatly appreciated! Server specs: Intel i5-14600 32GB DDR4 3200mhz RAM Seagate Firecuda 530 NVME

Well I thought this was done but just made a discovery: out of curiosity, I disabled Native ASPM in the BIOS on my mobo and upon rebooting my server found that ASPM shows as enabled on all my devices! I am still using the native Realtek driver, R8169, and see no loss in speeds in docker or in iperf3. That being said, I'm still stuck at C3 once my drives spin down. I then installed the R8125 driver plugin, added the r8125.conf file to /boot/config/modprobe.d, and the speed issues persist. I am marking this new entry as the solution because ultimately, I will need an updated Realtek driver for the lower C states to be possible.

I am closing this topic because the issue is related to the onboard Realtek R8125 ethernet adapter. I went so far as to purchase another motherboard, with an onboard Intel i225v-3 controller, which caused me even more issues. It seems almost impossible to find a combination of performance, power efficiency and stability with the current gen motherboards out there. I will be following the Realtek plugin page in the hope that a solution will be found at some point.

Thank you for sharing this. While this did effectively disable EEE, which the previous r8125.conf file did not, my speed issues still persist in Unraid.

@PeeFeSwhen you implemented the r8125.conf fix, did you notice any speed issues? Any information you can share is appreciated.

I think you are right, it's just odd to me that iperf shows full performance while in practice, speeds are reduced. I'm wondering if it's similar to this Bridge issue, just without the issue visible in iperf tests?

@crushjzWhat do you see when you run spci -vv | awk '/ASPM/{print $0}' RS= | grep --color -P '(^[a-z0-9:.]+|ASPM )' ? I have the same NIC as you and in Unraid the stock driver does not support ASPM. If you install the R8125 plugin, you can reach higher C states but for me at least, my speed becomes drastically reduced in my docker containers. One of my PCIE devices states "ASPM disabled" until I load the Realtek plugin, so that might be part of what you're seeing also. Hope this helps!

@SzeneI'm having a similar issue but the weird thing is my iperf tests show full speed. With the stock driver, I get no ASPM and am stuck at C3 but get full speed in my docker containers. When I enable the driver, I get ASPM and can hit higher C states but my speed drops drastically in my containers. I even tried enabling ASPM on the stock r8169 driver but see the same issue.

Another update in case this helps anyone. I purchased the Asrock B660M Steel Legend for it's 6 SATA ports. I was browsing through my System Devices in Unraid and noticed the 4 port SATA controller is an Intel controller while the additional 2 ports are the problematic ASM1061/ASM1062. I recently switched to 4 HDDs to try and save energy, so I moved all 4 of those to the Intel controller, where as before I was split between the two SATA controllers. I found a setting in my BIOS to enable or disable the Third Party SATA 3 Controller, so I disabled it. After reenabling the Realtek driver for my R8125 2.5 gb NIC and adding the R8125.conf file at /boot/config/modprobe.d, running lspci -vv | awk '/ASPM/{print $0}' RS= | grep --color -P '(^[a-z0-9:.]+|ASPM )' shows ASPM enabled on all system devices! In Powertop, I immediately saw my machine hit C6 for the first time. After waiting for the disks to spin down, I still could only hit C6 max but I did see an average 3-5W power consumption drop. Moving my nvme drive to the chipset slot got me to C8 and see power draw lows of 22W. Still not great but I'm beginning to think this might lie with my PSU at this point. I still need to figure out why my NIC speed drops so much in Docker but this is definitely a step in the right direction. I will update if/when I get the Realtek problem solved.

Another update on this: I've been combing through the Powertop discussion and attempted this fix to reach higher C states: This unfortunately did not work for me either. I also played with the Realtek R8125 driver but despite getting ASPM enabled on this NIC, my speeds are greatly reduced in docker, so I had to revert back to the stock driver. I'm not really sure why this is the case, as my iperf tests show full speed but download speeds in certain containers are drastically reduced. Unfortunately, this might just be an incompatibility with my 14th gen CPU as I still can't exceed C3. With the Realtek driver installed and all powertop optimizations enabled, I have 2 devices that ultimately show ASPM disabled. Those devices are: 02:00.0 SATA controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1061/ASM1062 Serial ATA Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0]) LnkCap: Port #1, Speed 5GT/s, Width x1, ASPM not supported LnkCtl: ASPM Disabled; RCB 64 bytes, Disabled- CommClk+ 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-S PCH PCI Express Root Port #6 (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) LnkCap: Port #6, Speed 8GT/s, Width x1, ASPM L1, Exit Latency L1 <64us LnkCtl: ASPM Disabled; RCB 64 bytes, Disabled- CommClk+ I have been in my BIOS over and over again and can't seem to get ASPM enabled for either. Based on some of the entries I read in the powertop thread, I expect this from my SATA controller, but I'm still not sure why ASPM remains disabled on my PCI bridge. I removed my nvme drive, swapped it's place on my mobo, and saw no change. I removed the USB cable for my UPS and shuffled my boot drive around to different USB ports but no change. I'm hoping there will be an update in the future that adds better ASPM support for Intel 14th gen. If anyone sees this and has any input, it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for the reply @lehe! I have been running that Powertop command at startup but I'm still experiencing the same issue. The lspci command you sent is very helpful tho! With the realtek plugin installed, I see that ASPM is enabled on my NIC. I see it disabled for other components on my system so I'm going to do some digging. Thanks again!

Hello Unraid community, I have been banging my head against the wall trying to lower the idle power consumption of my server. I have tried several things but can't seem to get anywhere. My system config is below. First off, I have a Realtek R8125 2.5gbps NIC. I have downloaded the latest Realtek plugin and according to information I found in this post , added r8125.conf under /boot/config/modprobe.d with options r8125 aspm=1, options r8125 eee=0, but that doesn't seem to have resolved the issue either. Currently, my system will go no lower than a C3 C state. I have triple checked my BIOS settings and all seem to be in order. I updated the BIOS to the latest stable version, released on January 5th of this year. I have my drives set to spin down after 30 minutes of inactivity, no VMs running and Powertop optimizations enabled. The lowest I seem to be able to get is about 30W at idle. Any help is greatly appreciated. ASROCK B660m Steel Legend Intel i5 14600 Thermaltake Toughpower GX1 500W 2x 16GB G.

Hello Unraid community! I've tried to do some digging on my own but am coming up empty. Up until recently, my drives have been set to spin down after 30 minutes of inactivity and have been doing so without issue. Starting a few weeks ago, my drives typically will only spin down intermittently and never longer than a few minutes. As far as I can tell, my shares are set up correctly so I'm not really sure why this would be happening. I feel like my parity drive especially should be spinning down more regularly, but even when I do it manually, it typically spins back up within 3 minutes or so and then idles. Any help is appreciated. Diags attached erebor-diagnostics-20230428-1450.zip

Well that was easy. I feel like a dumby. Thank you for the quick resolution!

Hello amazing Unraid community, I am experiencing an odd issue with my VM tower when upgrading to 6.11.x. I am currently on a Ryzen 7 2700x system with an RTX 3070ti and GTX 760, running a Windows 10 and macOS Big Sur VM respectively. On 6.10.3, the system works great. I can work on macOS and run games on the Windows VM simultaneously, without issue. I have the PC set to autoboot the WIndows VM upon the array startup. When I upgrade to 6.11.x, after a few minutes, the system will enter an odd "sleep" mode. I say "sleep" because the power button led on my tower blinks and when I press it, the system eventually resumes where it was, including restarting an VM's I had open. I believe the issue stems from my Windows 10 VM as the system seems fairly stable when running just the Mac VM. I've tried to upgrade to 6.11.2, 6.11.3 and 6.11.5. The same issue occurs each time. Diagnostics attached. Any guidance is appreciated orthanc-diagnostics-20221130-0907.zip

Thanks to some support by @1812, I've got a working 10GbE port for my VM and Unraid server. His recommendation was to establish the open Solarflare port as the primary NIC. This solution has allowed to me to use that 10GbE port as the network interface for Unraid. That being said, if I make any changes to the network config for it in the UI, IP, VLAN, etc. , it kernel panics like it has been. However, the network settings persist upon reboot so after manually editing the config on another computer and working through a couple kernel panics and hard resets, I have a 10GbE port for my server. Something else really cool: when I iperf3 between the port passed through to my VM and the port on my server, I get over 20Gbits/sec. Awesome.

I am having the same issue as well. I've deleted my network config on my flash drive multiple times but it always wants to use my secondary NIC as the primary default route upon reboot. Does anyone have a fix?

Good morning Unraid Community! I have a weird issue and was hoping I could lean on someone to get this resolved. My server has an Asus Prime X470 Pro motherboard, a Ryzen 7 2700X CPU, with 2x GPUs successfully passed through to 2 different VMs. This is all working great but my Solarflare SFN5122F is giving me trouble. The weird thing is, I can pass both ports of the 10gig card to my 2 VMs without issue but once I try and use it as an Unraid network interface, I get a kernel panic and have to force the system off. I captured what I could of the panic and attached it here. I can enable the port via "Port Up" but right when I enable Bridging or try to assign an IP address, it immediately locks up. I've tweaked BIOS settings related to PCIE devices and disabled network boot and cannot figure it out. I'm on Unraid 6.9.2. Any ideas? *Edit* I do not have any IPs assigned to my dockers nor do I have "Host access to custom networks" enabled. Most of my dockers don't run except one at startup. I do not believe this is related to the pervasive issues with call traces when leveraging a macvlan network. Thank you in advance for the help *Edit2* This issue persists with a brand new install of Unraid 6.9.2 as well. I'm having difficulty gathering syslogs since the issue is network related *Edit3* BIOS update did not resolve. My USB unfortunately became unmountable after so many kernel panics and hard shutoffs. I've switched to a new USB drive. Issues persist. One port is passed through to a VM without issue, the other is recognized by Unraid as a network interface but right when I attempt to set an IP, the kernel panic comes back. IOMMU groups posted below in case that helps. I've also tried to unbind both ports and enable one or the other as a network interface in the Unraid UI. This also happens with PCIe ACS override disabled entirely. I would really appreciate any help that can be given
