  1. There's a video by Spaceinvader One called the best way to install and setup a Windows 10 VM as a daily driver or a gaming VM that I found very helpful. I ended up doing this method last night, though I already had a Windows 10 install on an NVME for a while and so didn't need to create an initial Windows bare metal install. I just followed the rest of the video. I did have some strange audio issues soon after, though I upgraded to the newest NVidia driver (I have a 1080 ti passed through), and so far it's working fine. 👨🏽‍🔧 I made sure to install the Virtio drivers from the E: drive as he does in this video, though I slowed that part of the video down to 25% to see what he had sped up, and I probably still wouldn't have figured it out if I didn't stop the video at points, go back, and try to see it again, but that was the part that included the ethernet and I think another related driver or two. It was probably even more simple to do the install while looking on my regular Windows install/PC on a separate monitor next to the one connected to the Unraid server. I also had good luck passing through my NVidia GPU by following some of Spaceinvader One's videos about passing through a GPU as well as one by someone else that explained very well how to grab the Vbios of the card and cut out the header from it that prevents it from being useful for passthrough. It may be that this is only needed for a GPU if it's in the primary PCIe slot, and cutting the header out I think is only necessary for NVidia GPU's.
  2. Thank you so much! It's possible I may have botched things up about as badly as they can be barring equipment failures. But I hope maybe some of this could help someone else having problems, too. Thank you! I found a mention of the key and downloaded it from myservers and put it in the config portion of the USB drive after I recreated it and just now started the parity check. So I'll kind of have mandatory time away from it for a while today. Thanks so much again!
  3. Thank you so much. My challenge now is that I'm using the same USB trying to reinstall, and it takes me to the registration page and doesn't recognize this USB is already registered. Is there a way to fix that? Thank you.
  4. Hi. I got everything working before, overrode ACS with Both, etc., and am familiar with troubleshooting and putting together things such as Hackintosh setups., \ though I'll definitely admit to ignorance regarding messing with cache pools, and I normally wouldn't have posted multiple threads but really could not find much info and tried the troubleshooting recommendations (I did end up fixing an 84C temp problem by rolling back to 6.9.2, and I really appreciate the ideas; thanks to each person for posting them ). I then reinstalled my original motherboard and set it the same way it was, checking iommu groups several times and trying numerous VM's and methods, but it would no longer pass through a GPU. I believe I completely messed it up in adding a second cache drive and in trying to divide cache pools to give more for VM's on one. I've been messing with this to a degree or other for a few days and for about the last 15 hours straight and finally gave up and deleted all my drives and will start from scratch. Hopefully I'll get it going again on the new setup from scratch. Thanks again for your reply and to the others. It is really appreciated.
  5. It's from a previous backup save. I think I did do one from myservers and I think another via the gui application. Thank you so much for your replies here and in the other thread, and I will try it!
  6. Hi. I have a highly messed up setup and have even put back in my old motherboard and still can't pass through GPU as I used to be able to before making the major mistakes of adding a second cache drive and 'upgrading' my motherboard. It seems that changing motherboards has really messed things up and the info seems to save and is mixed up between motherboards. All I can think of to try is to revert to a previous 'save' of this same flash drive when things worked. Is there a way to recreate it with the save? Or is there any way to get the system to recognize only the current motherboard? I'm sorry I've posted another thread, but I've already asked if there is a way to start over with everything deleted but keeping my registered USB, but I still don't know. I appreciate any help.
  7. I reinstalled 6.9.2, and I don't see temp issues so far, but I'm still having the same problem being unable to pass through a GPU that used to work on my previous motherboard. Thank you so much for helping on that, and I think that's one less and major thing out of the equation!
  8. I'm having the same issue. Here are my diagnostics. And running the command du -h -d 1 /var/log initially showed this after rebooting: 0 /var/log/pwfail 4.0K /var/log/swtpm 20K /var/log/samba 0 /var/log/plugins 0 /var/log/pkgtools 0 /var/log/nginx 0 /var/log/nfsd 12K /var/log/libvirt 328K /var/log BUT it showed this just after shutting down a VM I couldn't get to pass through again and had been showing 84 degrees C! (I've been having problems trying to pass through VM's on my new motherboard/setup, though I also added a cache drive and may have messed things up when trying to move around info and to separate VM info onto the new drive. and after doing the command line that you requested earlier now shows (after shutting down the VM but not rebooting yet) 0 /var/log/pwfail 0 /var/log/swtpm 20K /var/log/samba 0 /var/log/plugins 0 /var/log/pkgtools 0 /var/log/nginx 0 /var/log/nfsd 7.6M /var/log/libvirt 128M /var/log rushtallica-diagnostics-20211119-1008.zip
  9. Thanks so much for that info! I'm having other issues, too, and am seeing major heavy reads and writes and think it could be the real temp on mine. But I wonder if 6.10.0 RC2 could possibly be related to the temp and other problems I've been seeing since installing this particular motherboard. Thanks so much again for your reply!
  10. and after doing the command line that you requested earlier now shows (after shutting down the VM but not rebooting yet) 0 /var/log/pwfail 0 /var/log/swtpm 20K /var/log/samba 0 /var/log/plugins 0 /var/log/pkgtools 0 /var/log/nginx 0 /var/log/nfsd 7.6M /var/log/libvirt 128M /var/log
  11. I guess I should still ask, is a way to just restart everything from scratch while keeping my paid key? Thanks for any reply. I guess my next step is to reinstall my old motherboard. EDIT: One thing I'm wondering, I did set the second drive to xfs format instead of btrfs file format (that the first/original cache SSD has) when I installed it, though I don't know if that might possibly cause these types of problems. And it's 40 degrees C immediately after rebooting with no VM running. And trying to boot into the Windows VM has the same problem with not booting up, and it's showing 32,000 reads and 4500 writes now on the drive, and showing the error again /var/log is getting full (currently 100 % used)
  12. Whoah!!! I'm showing my VM's NVME disk temperature is 84 C!!! I've never seen it get higher than like 54C before. I definitely still have problems.
  13. When I got the motherboard/Asus X570, it wouldn't boot into Unraid. I had deleted security keys and set boot option to other OS. Then I found a post mentioning deleting the hyphen from the EFI- folder, making it EFI instead. That let me boot in UEFI mode. But I wonder if not being in legacy mode in part of the problem. I just noticed when clicking on the flash drive in Unraid that there's a choice that was ticked for booting into UEFI. I unticked it and then went into the USB on my Windows PC and edited the EFI folder to again show EFI-, and so far it's let me boot and then I passed through my GPU and installed NVidia drivers on a Windows 11 VM. I've been able to do this before but then failed afterward, but it's the first time I've been able to boot into Unraid in legacy mode. I'm hopeful for the moment, anyway. Will report back in a bit. Thanks again.
  14. Yes. It seems to fix it for a while each time I've rebooted, and I haven't gotten that error often; just occasionally after trying to boot a VM, stopping it, then trying again. Thank you.
  15. I had deleted the VM's and have since created another but hadn't tried to pass it through yet. I'm wondering if it's something I did in moving files after I added the other cache drive -- or if it's how the new motherboard is working with Unraid. I wonder if it's possible a misplaced file would fill up the drive when trying to pass through the GPU.
