  1. currently my cache drive is a raptor 150GB drive, it is fine, other than it is a little small. Not really, but when you start putting a few vms, it fills quickly and when it does, docker containers break as they cannot access their config disks. I have a 160GB SSD, but on the space side this gains me little. I also have a 7200 RPM 500GB drive. This helps the space issue, but could impact performance. So, I have 2 questions. 1. Can I get away with a 7200 RPM drive for cache and vdisks if I am not doing much more than running Kodi and maybe a few simple apps. 2. Is there a way to add the SSD as a disk that is not technically in the array? I do not believe I can add it as a second cache drive. My only other thought was adding it to the array, but dont allow any shares to use it but vdisks, but I think that will be negatively impacted because the parity the system will try to perform.
  2. No such thing !! Edit: still working it, might actually still have bad memory. Moving DIMMs around made the error change, so need to figure it out. Havent actually put what I know is good where others are bad, so need to work that angle. Then, maybe one at a time if I still cant get a handle on it. --- garycase, question for you. I ask because I have had very few issues with hardware in the past, so I thought to get your advice on where the replacement comes from. When I got the new mobo and everything finally set up, the motherboard was complaining about a bad dimm/stick memory. So, I went the easy route and replaced the memory. I finally got the replacement memory and installed it today only to get the same message. I want to assume at this point that the issue is obviously the motherboard and it needs replaced. If I was dealing with amazon, this is easy, but I have also heard horror stories on newegg (although others say it is fine), is my replacement with newegg as it is within 30 days or is it with supermicro? thanks If it wasnt for the dumb memory things would be awesome by the way. For the record, this is the message I see. PEI -- Intel Reference Code Execution B7
  3. Check the forums. I seem to recall some having issues with the 210 but I could be wrong. and one more, the gt 610? microcenter has an open box for 30 and 10$ rebate... Edit, NM, just saw this and the issues there, so it seems the 720 is where it is at... https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=44030.msg420434#msg420434
  4. Is there a key to getting the yarss plugin working? I can get it installed, but when I enable it, it becomes unchecked once I close the window.
  5. as much as I hate it, I may just go with a windows guest. My only concern is I hate the way kodi runs on my main computer where I test plugins and such. At least I have an option before buying new cards
  6. I know we are talking about the 720 card, but what about 210, would those work too?
  7. Ah, Windows 95, I remember the 20+ floppy disks. Nothing beats getting to floppy 18 and being told it can't be read.
  8. What does this even mean? There has to be a really good reason to want to punish yourself. It makes zero sense why you would want to do this, but I am intrigued and demand a real answer. Even if it is something like your desire to play the original warcraft
  9. This pisses me off! Not you selling the cards, but the fact that in this day and age AMD cannot make a proper driver...stupid.
  10. So is this directly an issue with amd? I'm not familiar with writes the kernel driver, but if we file a bug, I. Would think someone could fix it
  11. If you are talking about bitstreaming HD audio...absolutely true. When I installed Ubuntu (and Mint) + Kodi, I did not even have an option for passthrough so it is not just an OE issue. I replaced one of my HD6450's with a GT720 and I am able to bitstream TrueHD and DTS-HD MA in OE without issue. It was so easy that I am going out today and buying 2 GT730's to replace my other HD6450's. I hate bandaids, how do we get this fixed
  12. Not sure it means anything, but I was trying to troubleshoot this completely outside of OE, just in Linux, the one conclusion I made, while not 100% confirmed, is that this appears to be an issue with the Radeon kernel driver. Making it a bug that needs resolved, independent of kodi and OE. Thoughts?
  13. Wrong folder. Viostor, not scsi. This worked for win8. I can now test win7, but believe that is where I will need sp1 media. Thanks.
  14. Well, let me try. I thought I did, but I'll try it again to be sure
  15. yeah, virtioscsi win7 amd64... unless of course I am not supposed to be using raw disk type, that was the only other thought I had.
  16. Shouldn't win 8 have the driver if win7 sp1 does? Had a win8 iso, same thing. Also. I found the torrents, but they fail, no permission to tracker. So this is not good. Just wanted to load up so I can upgrade to win 10. If it all fails, I'll do it bare metal, the long way, but whatever. As long as I can get to 10...
  17. Wait, like a new iso of Windows 7? Or win 8/10
  18. I am attempting to install a windows 7 VM, but the SCSI driver media is missing. Or, maybe I am missing something. I downloaded the suggested virtio iso and it is mounted, but I am not finding any disks during install still. I assume I am doing something wrong, but at this point it is not obvious.
  19. Thanks, turns out the cpu cooler I got had the 4 pins, so it is controlled by the mobo, noise is fine when compared with the rest of my fans running lower voltage. I must say, things are way faster. From moving files to extracting via nzbget, it's pretty sweet. Might be overkill, but it's nice.
  20. Ah yes, found it, this now makes perfect sense. Thank you
  21. Was curious if there is a template for the linuxserver.io containers or do we just add them manually outside of the GUI. Or, am I just missing something being stupid?
