Back in 2015 it worked with XEN pass-through - - - this is when limetech was just beginning to to allow VMs. I never tested it with KVM. . Tower2 has always been my 1x/month backup of Tower1. I update it before Tower1 and try new concepts on it first to minimize disruptions to Tower1. . Alas, I updated to faster/cooler cpu/mobo/ram a couple years ago and no longer have this to test.

I have an 860 pro 1 Tb. 2 always on windows 10 VMs with numerous pass through devices. 1 workstation and 1 Steam stream for all gaming. I also have 1 always on docker. In addition to this I have 2 VM and 2 dockers that are turned on as needed. . I have zero issue with stability or speed. . This is all on a single cache drive. . Seperatly I store all the games on a user share in the array. This share is mounted within the VM. Unraid lets vms access shares within the server, not across the network. Games load at the speed of the mechanical hard drive.

Thanks, didn't realize the script and gui was only triggered when the password was typed into the users change password interface. Makes sense though.

Thanks for the heads up. I've updated to a stronger password and reviewed my share securities (these are already OK). Also installed 'Dynamix Password Validator.' and while I see it in the plugins page I seem unable to sus out its location in the gui to actually use it. Some help would be appreciated!

Excellent write up @ljm42 thank you kindly.

Appears to be working Ok. Thanks again Squid!

As always, much obliged Squid! 2 more question then. 1, will the new Sysconfig look like: kernel /bzimage append iommu=pt initrd=/bzroot 2, is it ok to NOT stub the 2 GPUs (which are not currently stubbed) and leave directly assigned within the VM settings like they are now? Sometimes I shutdown a VM and startup a seldom used one or a docker that makes use of a GPU

Good day Unraid, I’ve been using 2 VMs for my daily drivers for years now, rock solid. Update to 6.9.1 and now ‘FixProblems’ is throwing ‘vfio-pci.ids or xen-pciback.hide found within syslinux.cfg.’ Jumping over to Syslinux Config (unRAID OS) I see: kernel /bzimage append iommu=pt vfio-pci.ids=1b21:0612,1b21:1242 isolcpus=2-4,8-10 initrd=/bzroot 1 – Will this actually cause stability issues to leave as is? 2 – Currently IOMMU Group 34 (GeForce 1080) is assigned directly to 1 VM at VM launch, IOMMU Group 36 (GeForce 1060) is assigned directly

Latest stable & gt710. Started up a Windows 10 container. I first updated the Dell bios. I also trimmed the bottom 4 pcie slot so I could fit the longer gpu card in after ensuring I wasn't going to short any pins in doing so. I follow Space-Invaders YouTube videos for the config advice & did not need to jump through many hoops to get it working. Alas, I built this for a local business that wanted some help and as such it is not now accessible for accessing the config settings. (note gpu selection is picky on what works.... And I believe Dell res

I would not assign a USB drive to the array long term as the risks to the data integrity are higher than my comfort level. You can shuck the drive and use sata connector (which many here have done). . Alternatively you can use the USB device outside of the array (unassigned devices is the easiest). This can then be used for transferring data, backing up data on the array, etc. User scripts plug helps. . Unraid provides parity protected data. This is not the same as a backup.

@Djoss - you are a saint

Howdy @Djoss Looks like CP is back to wanting an upgrade. Thanks, as always, for your maintaining this most excellent docker.

I haven't hit the limit yet - - - but I believe this means I now have 8gb allocated to Cp and 2 dockers - leaving 8 for Unraid. So, I am at the highest limit I'm conformable on offer cp without adding more ram. It could be unrelated, but when I'd find the limit hit, added new files, and checked online backups the files were not present. Restart Cp and within a day they are uploaded

I have INOTIFY now triggered every 4-6 weeks. I've bumped it up to 8192000 on a machine with 2 always on Windows VMs and 32GB of ECC ram. I'm actually contemplating doubling the memory just to increase INOTIFY further
