    Lousy Performance on GPU Passthrough

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    Ok.  THIS is how to successfully disable NPT on a Ryzen system:

     

    1)  Change the syslinux.cfg file to show:

      

    label unRAID OS
  menu default
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot kvm-amd.npt=0

     

    2)  You will notice your windows VM will fail to load now.  In order to get it to work properly you now have to go to the unraid GUI and click on VM's and shut down your windows gaming VM.  Click edit and change the CPU mode from raw/physical to emulated (QEMU) .

     

    Thats it!

     

    I immediately noticed the CPU usage is higher but realistically jI can throw as many cores at this VM when I'm playing games as I want.

     

    Gaming FPS went from 10-25 to 60-140 in the same scene.  

     

    WOOHOO!

    Tried this but my windows boot up just takes forever with all CPU cores/threads at 100%;
    macOS doesn't boot at all, just stuck at 100% cpu usage, and seem to be stuck at booting midway.

    Can you post the XML for the VM.  Have you passed the NVME as a PCI device?

    Yes, I originally have passed the NVME PCIe controller for macOS but I recently just swapped the OSes and their storages, so I"m using the NVME for Win11 right now, and noticed it rather disappointing especially for Dota 2. Cyberpunk is good though. I think it stutters on Dx11 games with high CPU bound.

    Also, just realized, I was asking the SCSI for my Sata SSD drive when I first posted it, not for the NVME as you don't to choose a Bus on that.

    Recent System Freezes/Hangs; Possible macvlan call trace issue?

    It depends, but generally any call trace means that there is a problem, hardware or software, though some can be more serious than others.

    Oddly enough, haven't had call traces since then; 
    Also, didn't have crashing issues until today, but I suspect it's because of the S3 Sleep auto inactivity scheduling, even though I'm running win 11 VM and copying files. 
    It doesn't crash when there's no VM running and it goes to sleep, but it tries to go to sleep even when the VM is running, prolly because I have the NVME Controller and/or SSD Drive passed through.
    So it might be the culprit.

    just switched back to macvlan, and the system froze again as soon as the S3 sleep plugin triggered for inactivity.

    prior to switching (macvlan), the S3 sleep plugin triggered for inactivity twice, and was able to WOL twice, no problem; even went to sleep while the macOS VM was on (not ideal) but system didn't freeze.

    Will try to use ipvlan a couple more days and see if it freezes or not, then switch back to macvlan.
    Also, experienced the crashes/freezes after updating to 6.12.9

    If you really need macvlan, you can still use, as long as bridging is disabled.

    Yes, Bridging was disabled when I used macvlan, and tried both bonding enabled/disabled.
    Just enabled bridging today as I have to switch to ipvlan for monitoring; so far, left the server inactive, and S3 triggered the sleep schedule, woke it up through pfsense no problem twice. Though, it might be too little of a time to conclude yet but I got 3 crashes in 2 days, and just so happened when I updated to 6.12.9, might be coincidence, IDK.

    Just to clarify, disabled Bridging is the setting under "Settings > Network Settings > Enable Bridging = No; Enable Bonding = Yes" , right?

    Because that's what I've been using for months, though, the Docker Delugevpn, is still set to bridge mode as that is the only option that works properly.

    That doesn't look like the typical macvlan call trace, but retest with ipvlan, also enable the syslog server, to see if it catches anything else.

    Interesting. Thanks for the info.

    ipvlan doesn't have call traces on the syslog, does it?
    I mean does the call trace only show when there's an issue?

     

    my syslog server has always been enable way back when switch to ipvlan in 6.10.

    so you think the instabality might be something else?

     

    I really want the macvlan to work because I like to be able to access my dockers while I'm out of town (remote).

    Hi,

     

    I've had my unraid for about 2 years now (I think), but I've been on ipvlan for the longest time, and switched back to macvlan when 6.11.5 came out and gave the workarounds; also, I couldn't get to my dockers' webgui with ipvlan, as well as WOL doesn't really work with it.
    I never really noticed random freezes ever since (at least not that I know of) but I haven't put my unraid server to sleep, until recently when I installed S3 Sleep again, since I have pfsense router fully set up already.

    I also changed my flash drive Last October 2023 to Samsung Bar Plus, but recently got faulty about a few days ago (got the "Unable to enumerate USB Device"); so I changed that.

     

    but for the last 2 days, I've gotten 3 random crashes/reboot/freezes. Initially I was thought it was the Dynamix S3 Schedule (inactivity) sleep that was crashing my system, but then I saw some call traces on my syslog.

     

    I already ram memtest again since 2 yrs ago, and no errors.

     

    Anyone know if this is the macvlan call trace issue or something else?

    I currently switched to ipvlan to monitor it , and let S3 Schedule to put the system to sleep and see if it crashes.

     

    I have my diagnostics uploaded for reference as well..

     

    Thanks for any help.

    Recomended USB stick for Unraid?

    in Pre-Sales Support

    Posted

    Bought Spaceinvader One's #1 (Recommended) Samsung Bar Fit USB Flash drive last Oct. 2023, it died sometime last week, finally changed it yesterday after having a couple of random freeze/reboot, and noticed getting this everytime I reboot: "Unable to enumerate USB Device"

    [Support] binhex - Plex

    in Docker Containers

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I noticed a bug on binhex-plex docker.

     

    When I use the Network Type: Custom : Bond0; 

    Accessing the WebUI just outputs [IP]:[PORT:32400] instead of the actual variable value (Fixed IP Address).

    Any workaround or fix on this?

    My Servers Error Message: "DNS issue, unable to resolve wanip4.unraid.net" but still reachable

    Why? There is no good reason to do that. Set Unraid's DNS to a reliable external source like 1.1.1.1 or 9.9.9.9, or google's DNS of 8.8.8.8.

    That's what I understood from the forums to route everything to pihole and have pihole set the DNS to 1.1.1.1.

     

    I set my Unraid's DNS IP to my Router's then my router's DNS is pointing to pihole which uses the 1.1.1.1 DNS Server.

    What would be the best way to go about it?

    My Servers Remote Access Secure?

    The optional Remote Access feature provides secure access to the Unraid webgui. No additional client software is needed, just a web browser.  And a good root password.

     

    WireGuard is harder to setup, and requires the client to run special software, but is arguably more secure.

     

    Thanks!
    I actually have both Remote Access and Wireguard set up.

    I guess I could use the my servers for quick connect remotely when I have my VPN turned on, since connecting through wireguard requires me to turn my commercial VPN off and connect to the wireguard tunnel.

    Hi,

     

    I just recently got this My Servers Error Message:  "DNS issue, unable to resolve wanip4.unraid.net" but I can remote access actually works.
    Not sure why it's saying that, though, I recenlty have set up pihole and set my unraid server's DNS to my Router which points back to pihole's Server, and router's IP as backup, but set router's DNS to point to pihole as well.

     

    attaching screenshot for reference.

    netdata doesn't show any Voltages at all; just a bit more detailed stats that you see on the dashboard :(
