I'd run Pre-Clear on the drives to ensure they are still good, but seams perfectly good (free?) way to setup local backups. Perhaps via an rsync users script?

I'm not having the restore issue. Have you tried from a different network or computer?

Awesome, thanks again. The Gui polish is nice BTW

good day @limetech Given that under my Flash/Syslinux config I have: append iommu=pt vfio-pci.ids=1b21:0612,1b21:1242 isolcpus=2-4,8-10 initrd=/bzroot *Question 1* Do I need to remove the vfio-pic from the Flash/Syslinxu and instead use the new flashconfig/vfio-pci.cfg BIND=0c:03.0 0d:00.0 03:00.0 Where IOMMU Group 39 [1b21:1182] 0c:03.0 PCI bridge: ASMedia Technology Inc.

BTW, initial update looks VERY good Supermicro X10SRA-F Windows 10 VM with 1080 gpu and BT adapater passed through for SteamLink Streaming Windows 10 VM with 1060 gpu, usb adapter, ODD sata controller passed through for production Crashplan docker

Thanks for the update

Thank you greatly!

Hello fine folks - looks like cod42 is back to nagging about the latest update being available... cheers

@saarg I have the /UNRAID path set to mnt/user/ShareName/Folder & the program outputs videos wonderfully to thus location. The only 'minor' issue is that when the container is started, from within the container, for each new ODD the default output folder is within the container itself and I must change this to /UNRAID if I want access to the MKV (and not blow up my Docker image space).

@mdipinto I spent a great amount of time attempting to pass a USB Odd to the makemkv container and failed. Installed this makemkv-rdp container and had it working with the USB ODD within 5 minutes. Note that when you select the output folder from within the program, each time you must select 'UNRAID'

If, over time, the drive bay slowly vibrates out of the case (or worse, into it!) you'll have wished for it to have been properly screwed... Rather than finding that it has screwed you.

C clamps make life so much easier (no metal shards, super easy, non violent). If your going to be removing metal, I would remove EVERYTHING from the case first. FYI, my local Menards, Ace, and autoparts store all stock deep c clamps.

The forum is rife with folks rockn both the Icydock I linked and the iStar trayless unit. I've had experience with both. Note that the iStar has better cable layout, but only uses (if memory serves) 2 power hookups. This is ok, unless you try to force higher performance (power hungry) hdds into the chasis. If your PSU allows for it, use 2 seperate power cables (high quality PSU can get away with using 1 cable). If using the LSI SAS card, will need a SAS to SATA breakout cable. Buy an unused, high quality cable. If using mobo sata ports, still buy new, high quality cables. Do NOT bundle your sata/SAS cables - leave them loose - unless you want to deal with random and highly irritating crosstalk issues

If you care not about easy disk swapping, and 1disk:1 5.25 bay is acceptable, then a simple bracket is sufficient : https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16817994163 Or https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16816215435 But you can fit 5 HDD in 3 5.25 slots : https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16817994155

I run into the same issue with backups from my wife's machine. The trigger is her Mac backups and one of her pc work apps saves updates pre-existing data without properly modifying acces/modify datetime stamps. No issue, but glad this catches it.

Spoke too soon. 1 thread stuck again at 100%. Any ideas from the prior logs folks? Thanks for taking a gander.

Hopefully I'm not speaking too soon, but originally passed through a Logitech unified usb receiver to a VM. This usb device has failed and no longer shows up on the list - when attempting the VM start it gave a USB failure message and device id. Inserted a new Logitech unified receiver and it has the same device ID as the original. Since doing this, no more pegged CPU.

Solved. The issue is that newer OS versions cause a reboot rather than powerdown command when a stubbed out PCIe card which uses both an ASM1142 and ASM1543 is installed. Swapping (and re-stubbing) out a card that only uses a asm1142 has proved fruitful.

Rebooted server after first post. Happened again within the last 24 hours - 1 thread is stuck at 100% (kworker/6:3+pm). Fresh logs attached. Any help would be appreciated. tower-diagnostics-20181229-0602.zip

Awesome, much obliged

Thanks @Jerky_san - only reason I wanted to reach out to the community before setting a Static IP in Windows (VM) Network settings was to avoid a potentially ignorant decision resulting in the VMs internal network choice conflicting with whatever magic Unraid assigns during the bridging process. Glad to hear that is not a likely concern. . My router is set to reboot weekly, and reboots of machines with dynamic IPs after it's scheduled bump oft results in a shifting IP landscape

Good day folks What is the preferred method of setting a static IP for a Windows 10 VM machine? anytime my IP address changes in the VM (mostly from unraid system reboots) I must re-link my steamlink which is somewhat irksome. My VM uses the br0 bridge & the symlink games folder share works as if it was on baremetal through this. My unraid config is set to use a static ip via the network settings on unraid itself (not via a router assignment). thanks!

Happy Holidays folks Recently I made a few changes to my rig and now CPU 0 or 6 (physical/hyper) which are reserved for Unraid goes to 100% after some period of time and becomes locked at that percent. The changes: 1 - Swapped a ASM1142/ASM1543 pci card for a ASM1142 card as the 1543 was causing reboot rather than powerdown conditions - This is stubbed out just like the old card (along with a Sata – both for Windows passthrough) via vfio-pci.ids=1b21:0612,1b21:1242 2 – Upgraded 250 GB SSD to 1T unit as per https://wiki.unraid.net/Replace_A_Cache_Drive 3 – Removed isolcpus=3-5,9-11 stub as it is no longer required with GUI built in pinning TOP command shows that *kworker/6:2+pm* is consuming 83% of the available CPU Logs attached. Thanks ahead of time for looking! tower-diagnostics-20181224-0827.zip

Was using a Totovin card in my Supermicro which worked until last update round - - - now the machine refuses to stay powered down. It uses both an ASM1142 and ASM1543. B074QK68XS Just ordered a Qnine to replace it with as it only uses a asm1142. Gosh I hope this solves the issue. B07BJ2HVD2 Edit: powerdown functions as expected with the Qnine USB controller that has only the ASM 1142

thank you @Djoss for keeping this alive and well!
