  1. So butterfs pools. I got it. But can I use nvme drives in these pools?
  2. Hi, I'm more interested in the virtualization than the storage aspect of Unraid. I am in the trial period and I'm trying to evaluate / understand how Unraid works in regards to virtualization. From what I understand Unraid allows you to have only one array that can have multiple folders/shares in it, BUT this array can contain only spinning disks (HDDs). Obviously an array of spinning disks, (no matter the speed and the number of cache drives associated to it) will be always be slower than a single nvme / SSD or and than an array of nvme drives. If you want to have the fastest VM possible, you don't only need a performant CPU, but also the fastest storage where the VM is being stored. YES Unraid is very good for providing a bullet proof storage layer for your storage needs, and will conveniently protect your data. YES Unraid has a very nice virtualization interface and features, BUT for me the way this has been implemented, and therefore the speed of the storage is a limiting factor for virtualization performance. Maybe I don't understand enough all the aspects of Unraid functionality, so that's why I am asking this forum, is there another way of doing this? Maybe create a second nvme or SSD array to keep the VMs? or dedicate a single nvme (without protection) for storing only VMs?
  3. Thanks, Do you know if the latest kernel is capable to fully use the power of the 12th gen Intel CPU Cores? In other words, if it's to use all the P-Cores and E-Cores at their maximum ring core frequency? Or the Alder Lake P-cores will be running crippled at 3.6 GHz, or E-Cores have to be disabled in order for the P-Cores to run at their maximum core speed, etc.
  4. Yeah, there is no much activity on this forum. I’ve read good things about unraid, but despite that, I think the majority of specialists are storage gurus, not virtualization specialists, and without a little bit of support or ideas about passthrough what I want is going to be difficult to achieve. If not possible I will try Proxmox. With Proxmox won’t be easier, but there seems to more info on the web
  5. Hi, I intend to give unraid a try mostly for the virtualization feature, the NAS being a bonus. But before doing this, I want to ask the community whether I can achieve the following: - I have a new z690 MSI mtb + Intel core i7 12700K to be used by the host + a Radeon RX580 GPU - I plan to run the unraid host server headless and to create 2 VMs: 1. A VM (for Linux or iOS Monterey) with the Radeon GPU passthrough 2. A VM for Windows 11 with the iGPU passthrough How difficult it is to do this (if possible at all)? Has this been done before? Thanks lot to all the experts who know what I’m talking about
