I don't think it's a percentage of your RAM exactly. Although I have a lot more available, it seems the shared and cache are quite similar. I am also headless, but with two Nvidia cards installed, so you'd expect your shared RAM to be more than me if it were using a chunk of yours for onboard. I mean, it can't hurt to try turn back your onboard allocation and see if it makes a difference. Playing is learning! total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 94Gi 2.3Gi 80Gi 1.3Gi 11Gi 89Gi Swap: 0B 0B 0B

Here I was thinking about reinstalling Calibre.... I forgot my webUI password and thought there might be tips in here. LOL, good thing I read the above. I'll keep looking at how to reset the web password for now.

I put 9KW of solar on the roof and export more than I use here in sunny north Queensland (Australia), in any given 24 hour period. I no longer care how much power I use Sure, we use about 7kwh overnight including the aircons and stuff, but once I evaluate the best battery solution I won't have that problem either. The unRAID machine I have idles at about 200W and during some hefty workloads gets up to about 450W.

Are you running through a network switch? I have had a switch port fail at 1Gbit, and had to change to another to get back to speed. For the record, your Dual Xeon is newer than my Dual Xeon (x5690) Z800 machine. My data transfers are frequently 130MB/s to the cache from any machine on the network. From cache to rust spinners, the 8TB IronWolf drives hover between 190-210MB/s. I'm not using my onboard SAS controller, as the 8TB drives wouldn't detect on it. Was working fine with 2TB drives during my testing, so I then had to use the AHCI headers. The old beast has both, so 12 drives if I could fit them internally.

Does it show any problems (bad sectors etc) in the "Attributes" tab within the disc in unRaid's "Main" window? Do you have another machine to plug it into, so you can run some diagnostic tools over it? Like the Seatools, or Spinrite? A failed new drive is not unheard of, so it might be a dud. I'm currently upgrading a failing 3TB IronWolf drive with an 8TB unit, still copying the parity. I didn't do any pre-clearing though, just shut the machine down, yoinked out the failing unit and swapped it out. Seems to have worked fine for me in the past

Don't rush it Stubbs, more chance of inadvertently wiping your precious data. Personally I'd just follow the methods described on the wiki, and many other forum posts. like this one for example. SpaceInvader One has a video which may also help. Good luck, stay safe!

Hey @Laptop765, Looking at your 20220925-1711 zipped log file, I can see in the syslog.txt file the BTRFS errors are plentiful for you nvme device. device: (nvme0n1) Samsung_SSD_970_EVO_Plus_2TB_S6S2NS0T630395J device: (nvme1n1) Samsung_SSD_970_EVO_Plus_2TB_S6S2NS0T630373E 17:08:02 - Your system starts spitting out a few SIGTERM issues around the 'wsdd2' service. So I compared against my own dual Xeon CPU unRaid machine and I get the same SIGTERM messages with wsdd2, so let's ignore that one. At 17:10:52, BTRFS starts complaining about a duplicate device (nvme2n2p1) then gets disabled. I'd be more inclined to think that perhaps the NVME port on your MB associated with your first nvme drive (S6S2NS0T630395J) might not be up to the task. https://www.umart.com.au/product/asrock-b450-pro4-atx-am4-motherboard-45293 The only data I could find on the motherboard (asrock won't load for me here), indicates that one of the M2 slots only operates at Gen3x2 speeds (16Gb/s) whereas the primary is Gen3x4 (32Gb/s). The mismatch in speeds may be the reason. You could try with a PCIe to NVMe adaptor, but personally I'd look at a complete new motherboard.

I used to have a similar experience with my Ryzen 3600 CPU with a Gigabyte B450M DS3H Motherboard on VMWare ESXi. Basically I could run 3 VM guest systems fine, but as soon as i enabled another pair of cores, the ESX host would grind to a halt, and often just crash requiring a hard power off. I think I saw a video on LTT that explained how the cache worked on the Zen2. I've given that system to my son to game on so he's happy since I upgraded. I never even tried Unraid on that system, as I had already made up my mind that the Zen2 was not good for virtual machines. I'm going to put that down to the Zen2 L3 cache system having to traverse the Infinity Fabric caching system and taking 'forever' to access the cache. Again, just a guess. Keep it in mind, and maybe try to 'pin' the CPU's to specific dockers/VM's.

I currently have a similar issue after the upgrade to 6.10.2 Seems they have disabled the support for VT-d. Disabling this in the BIOS of my dual cpu Z800 would then allow me to connect to the HOST system via a different PC on my network, but none of the VM's would connect, not even via the internal VNC connection. My docker containers appear to be fine however (Plex & Calibre). In my Settings/VMSettings, I disabled the "PCIe ACS Override", but that did nothing either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Seems a day of troubleshooting is going to be on the cards. I found a thread mentioning adding a file to the USB drive to force the setting back to how it was. How concerned should i be over the potential "corruption", and would I have seen it by now from using VT-d in the last few months?

Hi SpaceInvaderOne, I used your script on my aged HP Z800 dual x5690 workstation with no issue. I have dual EVGA GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB 86.07.22.00.50 cards in my machine, and dumped the BIOS quickly enough. The ACPI shutdown caught me off guard with a quiet little panic when the fans went silent, LOL. I tried using the vbios from Techpowerup and HxD the extra header out as per your instructional video, but in the end, this file is a lot smaller, and WORKS! Anyway, my file is attached as I was unable to upload to your github page. EVGA_4GB_1050ti-ver.86.07.22.00.50.rom

I noticed this on my Windows10 test machine too. I did also notice that as soon as I assigned a GPU to the machine that the memory reporting was accurate. Removed the GPU and used the VNC display, the bug returned. I just ignored it thinking that it was working fine.

Hey Eksitus, Have you tried the ISO file from steampowered? According to the ZIP file I downloaded from your link above it is "SteamOS GNU/Linux 2.0 "Brewmaster" - Unofficial Multi-architecture - i386/amd64 DVD #1 20190717-21:08" Probing around the steampowered site, I found the "Brewmaster" build group, and the file is 17th July 2019 for the ISO, so I'm guessing that is the correct one. http://repo.steampowered.com/download/brewmaster/2.195/ Seems to work for me this way using the ISO. Sorry if you have already found this solution. My settings for this quick test were: 60G vHD 16G RAM VNC Video After reboot... Selected reboot, then enter. It may need a decent video card, as I don't seem to get past this stage after the build. EDIT: OK, I assigned a Nvidia 1050Ti card to the system, and it fired up on my monitor and allowed me to finalize the setup process (Language, Timezone etc). So yeh, seems to work just fine. Thanks for the trip

Hey!! I have the older brother to your toy! My Z800 is max'd out with 96GB (12x 8GB ECC) for its dual x5690 Xeons. Yeh, it's a bit overkill, but it's also no slouch in processing power.

Thanks @SpencerJ, Your fast response was very much appreciated. Regardless of my trial time remaining, I just purchased the Pro license. Not that I think I'll ever need an NAS solution that large, it was more as a 'thanks' to the devs for this very simple, yet powerful NAS/Hypervisor interface. But who knows, my young kids might grow up to be YouTubers and may potentially need many Terabytes of storage! Kind regards, DarthKegRaider

Hello, After spending years in the free ESX with the 8vCPU limitations, I thought I'd try your software on my z800 dual x5690, 96GB RAM aging beast. I was testing her with : 500GB SATA - Cache 2TB Seagate SAS - Parity 2TB Seagate SAS - Data 1TB Seagate SATA - Data 1TB Seagate SATA - Data 1.5TB Seagate SATA - Data (Failed SMART test, which I knew anyway but was testing nonetheless) Now, I copied across 800GB of unimportant data that I have plenty of backups of still running on my QNAP and ESX machine, I ordered a few 8TB drives and have successfully migrated the Parity, and then 12 hours later the Data drive with all data intact so yeh, very happy with the process and ability of the core system. The dockers are simple enough to grasp, and the VM's although not VMWare, still work fine for my purpose, so more drives are on the way My Questions are: 1. I bought a 32GB Samsung Bar for this system. Do they have a GUID issue? (https://www.samsung.com/au/memory-storage/usb-flash-drive/usb-3-0-flash-drive-bar-modern-metal-muf-32ba-apc/ 2. IF the old beast dies, can I just lift and shift the drives and USB and continue happily on a newer system? 3. Are there ANY functionality limitations in the pricing tiers apart from the hard drive limits? I know I have another 20 days to test point two, but I'd rather spend the rest of my time setting up the machine to how I intend to use it. Thanks for your time, DarthKegRaider.
