I'm building a second unraid server; anyone has any SATA pcie controller recommendation that allows deep C states / power efficiency? My current build has ASM1064 controller and I am stuck at C3 - I am hoping my backup unraid (new) server to be more efficient. The motherboards I am looking at have at most 4 SATA ports; so I will definetely need to add at least 4 or 6 ports more.

wow impressive. I have the 13600k on a different board B660M chipset and the most I was able to squeeze was 40 watt idle. I think I am going to buy this motherboard to see if the newer chipset makes a difference. I was going to build my second NAS anyway and need a board like this

Hybrid or "tiered" storage (NVME + SSD + HDD). Where "hot" data is in NVME, then transitions down the stack. Least used data is on hdd. In other words; a QNAP qtier alternative.

Has anything changed in 2023 about better peformance in QEMU 9p?

Can you expand this a bit, is there any documentation explaining how unraid's "bitroot protection" using btrfs works? I assume that in order for this to work a 'btrfs scrub' needs to be scheduled and run often? Does unraid throw an error notification in UI when btrfs detects a checksum error or bitrot?

thanks. I thought this "Pre sales" forum was the place where the developers of this software/license would respond (vs. other forums where end-users help eachother). Guess I was mistaken.

No love from the unraid devs I guess.

I have several NFS shares and linux hosts on my network. Looking to possibly replace TrueNAS with unraid, the major feature holding me back from considering unraid is the lack of advanced GUI management of shares. In TrueNAS, I am able to setup a NFS share and: - define IP addresses that are permitted to mount it - define IP networks ranges that are permitted to mount it - define how to override NFS client permissions of those that mount it (e.g: override all 'root' with userid/group_id X). This feature request was submitted after discussions in support ticket: https://forums.unraid.net/support/10511/ @dlandon- I shared screenshots of TrueNAS GUI NFS settings. I was informed that I can setup similar settings but right now in unraid is very user unfriendly (vs. truenas)

Thanks for the hint. I think the default install or file /boot/config/network.cfg randomly selected one of the NICs to use at boot. I ended up solving this issue by renaming that file and rebooting. Also the NIC it had picked was the 10GB which was configured for LACP/Link aggregation and I think this is why it didn't work out of the box at first. After I rebooted with a blank config file for the network it selected eth0 as the 1Gb link and was able to get an IP address.

thanks for suggesting. Here it is. tower-diagnostics-20221002-1820.zip

On a fresh unraid install on my hardware it looks like the network interfaces are not working at all, I have tried both static IP and DHCP settings - this seems to be a driver issue within unraid. What's the best way to troubleshoot or add new drivers? - My motherboard has Intel I219-V and it doesn't work: https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/B660M Pro RS/index.asp - My additional 10G network card on this system: Solarflare dual-SFP+ This is from same hardware just booted into Proxmox (running unraid as a VM but want to get it running natively): root@pgn:~# lshw -class network *-network:0 description: Ethernet interface product: SFC9120 10G Ethernet Controller vendor: Solarflare Communications physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0 logical name: enp1s0f0np0 version: 01 serial: xxxx size: 10Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list rom ethernet physical fibre 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=sfc driverversion=5.19.7-1-pve duplex=full firmware=6.2.7.1001 rx1 tx1 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=fibre slave=yes speed=10Gbit/s resources: irq:16 ioport:5100(size=256) memory:71000000-717fffff memory:71884000-71887fff memory:71840000-7187ffff *-network:1 description: Ethernet interface product: SFC9120 10G Ethernet Controller vendor: Solarflare Communications physical id: 0.1 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.1 logical name: enp1s0f1np1 version: 01 serial: xxxx size: 10Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list rom ethernet physical fibre 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=sfc driverversion=5.19.7-1-pve duplex=full firmware=6.2.7.1001 rx1 tx1 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=fibre slave=yes speed=10Gbit/s resources: irq:17 ioport:5000(size=256) memory:70800000-70ffffff memory:71880000-71883fff memory:71800000-7183ffff *-network DISABLED description: Ethernet interface product: Ethernet Connection (17) I219-V vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 1f.6 bus info: pci@0000:00:1f.6 logical name: enp0s31f6 version: 11 serial: xxx capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=e1000e driverversion=5.19.7-1-pve firmware=0.21-4 latency=0 link=no multicast=yes port=twisted pair resources: irq:126 memory:71d00000-71d1ffff

Just registered here after reading the 6.11 announcement that mentions ZFS may be upcoming. Can you please share what kind of native ZFS integration we can expect in future versions of unraid? In other words; what are you working on? I did see that some smart people here hacked their way into getting ZFS support via a plugin. But your company seems to be building a native integration. How will it be different from the ZFS plugin/hack? I am building a new NAS server with dual m.2 nvme drives - one of the things I always wanted out of my home NAS was 'storage tiering' - to use the fastest storage media for writes/copies then offload it to rust drives - people are telling me that Unraid should be able to do this kind of storage tiering for me - would the data be copied or mirrored in both nvme/cache and my slower drive array (in case the cache drives fail)? There are ways to get ZFS on linux to have storage tiering: https://github.com/45Drives/autotier < so when I read ZFS mentioned in the above announcement I started wondering if unraid may be working on your own flavor of 'autotier' + ZFS to get the best of both worlds without a large number of RAM (ZIL, SLOG, etc) in a similar way that unraid seems to work today with cache pools. Also could you share any recent guides or 'best practices' that can help me better understand how I would setup 'storage tiering' and also if I start using unraid now before ZFS exists - how do you envision the migration to ZFS to look like for users?
