I have this same problem on my board, an ASRockRack E3C246D4U. Took me forever to track down. It appeared in the 6.11 series. Blacklisting the GPU i915 module fixed it. Now I can't use hardware transcoding, but the CPU not spiking every 30 seconds was worth the tradeoff for me.

A setting that noticeably improved my Windows 11 VM performance was disabling the Windows "Memory integrity" option. From the Windows Start menu, search for "Core isolation" and open that page. I'm curious if this is enabled and if disabling it helps you at all.
-
"Memory integrity" Is the option you should try disabling to see if it makes a difference. Leave the driver blocklist enabled.

I have bitlocker turned off, not sure about "core isolation" that someone mentioned was on in Windows 11 but not on in Windows 10 (my hot CPU temps / 100% pinned usage all started happening when i enabled secure boot and TPM on my Windows 10 VM to allow it to upgrade to Win11 a few months ago...Windows 10 was running smooth as butter with low resource usage).
Just open the Windows Start menu and type "core isolation". It'll take you to that settings page. Make sure "Memory integrity" is disabled. That definitely slowed down my Windows 11 VM.

6.10.3 and earlier work fine. 6.11+ including 6.12 maxes a CPU core for about 5 seconds every 30 seconds. This process shown in HTOP accumulates about 3 seconds of CPU time after each spike:
/usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/emhttp/webGui/nchan/device list
Any idea what might have changed here 6.11+? This recurring spike happens even in safe mode with the array stopped. I'm not positive it's this process causing my problem, but its behavior seems suspect.
It's making newer releases of unraid unusable for me, because the spike seems to eventually land on a CPU core assigned to a VM, making the VM unresponsive while the spike is happening.
Safe mode 6.12.0 diagnostics attached.
System:
ASRockRack E3C246D4U Motherboard
Intel® Xeon® E-2288G CPU @ 3.70GHz
Dell PERC H310 8-Port 6Gb/s SAS Adapter RAID Controller

Seeing this same issue in my 6.11.0 final install. I too use an integrated GPU for Plex transcode.

I had the same problem with slowness writing big files after a while. It's usually something to do with vm.dirty_ratio & vm.dirty_background_ratio. You can adjust these with the Tips And Tweaks community application. The percentage ratio depends on how much RAM you have and your use cases. Here's an explainer for what these do: https://lonesysadmin.net/2013/12/22/better-linux-disk-caching-performance-vm-dirty_ratio/

Krusader broke for anyone? Was there an update overnight or something? It opens but no file manager. Uninstalled and deleted the docker and appdata folder, reinstalled and same thing. has an X and says server disconnected 1006 error.
UnraidIPAddress:6080 doesn't work but UnraidServerName:6080 works.
Mine gives the same 1006 error. Thanks for letting us know the UnraidServerName version of the URL works. I was able to get it in that way.

I idle at 65 watts, but that's with two drives always spun up, a parity drive and a torrent/download drive, and 13 more on standby. I also have two drive controllers, a Dell Perc H310 and a Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8. Each of these draws around 10 watts on its own I've noticed.
System specs:
M/B: ASRockRack E3C246D4U
CPU: Intel® Xeon® E-2288G CPU @ 3.70GHz
Memory: 32 GiB DDR4 Single-bit ECC -
Those two parameters have some complicated interactions depending on the amount of memory you have. It may take some experimenting to figure out what works best for your environment. This is an older post I found, but it has good background information that may help you fine-tune things: https://lonesysadmin.net/2013/12/22/better-linux-disk-caching-performance-vm-dirty_ratio/

I had similar problems. I downloaded the Tips and Tweaks community application and adjusted these settings:
Disk Cache 'vm.dirty_background_ratio' (%): 1 (Default 10)
Disk Cache 'vm.dirty_ratio' (%): 3 (Default 20)I have 32 GB RAM, and I found the defaults would excessively cache and then try to dump way too much data at once on large copies. With these settings the reads and writes are much more steady, though you will probably see more frequent disk activity. Read the help items for these parameters in Tips and Tweaks for more info.

If it won't boot with one stick, try pulling the battery for 5 min so the CMOS can clear and try it with one stick again. After I got it to boot, I went into the CMOS and flashed the BIOS that allows hardware transcoding. After that I didn't have problems, other than having to flash the BMC separately so sensors would work.

Just received my mother board cpu and memory
Installed all pressed the power button
Error 11 on the motherboard display
Can't find how to reset the cmos
Also can't find the meaning of the code 11
Can someone help me?
As I recall I had this problem too. I got past it by using only one stick of RAM, and then once it posted successfully I spent some time figuring out which pair of slots worked correctly. Board has been rock-solid ever since.

Anybody else seeing this in their log output every 30 minutes? This started happening a few days ago.

Kapton tape is ideal for this type of thing. This 1 mm tape from Amazon covers the drive's connector pins perfectly.

I have a Norco 4220 case with a Noctua NH-D9L on my E-2288G, 110 mm height (fits in a 3U chassis). Even running all-core BOINC I haven't seen it go over 82C (ambient temp of around 65F). My system with all-core BOINC, all cores 100%, and two drives spun up is drawing 204 watts, according to my UPS.
I'm really pleased with it and it was the easiest heatsink install I've done to date.

The default template I pulled from CA had /dev/dri twice. I changed it to /dev/dri and it still didn't launch. Showing advanced settings displayed the USER_ID variable, which had no value. I added 0 and everything started working. Thanks for the container! It was interesting spying on my Plex hw transcodes.

I too am part of the ebay ASRockRack E3C246D4U club, thanks to Hoopster! I remember someone posting that they had to reflash the motherboard BMC because when they installed it the BMC button on the back got stuck behind the backplate and that cleared the BMC flash. Well, the same thing happened to me, and now my BIOS BMC flash is failing self-test and I can't control fan speeds.
I can't find the original post about this, but does anyone have the E3C246D4U BMC flash files/utility? I submitted a support request on the ASRockRack web site, but no response yet....

Have you checked out binhex-minidlna? It's simple to set up and works great for me. It's in Community Applications.

This is almost working for me now. It turns out the Pictures folder is mounted read-only, so that's why I couldn't upload new photos or make new albums. I copied some pictures there manually, but photoshow won't show any thumbnails. All I see are broken link boxes. It will show the full image if I click the eye in the expanded image view though.
When I go into the settings and tell photoshow to regenerate thumbs and images, my browser loads a blank page and nothing happens.
Any thoughts? This seems similar to the problems Phlii was having.

Thanks for creating this container! I have been looking forward to running a Mumble server on my unRAID box.

I didn't see a final solution in this thread so I thought I'd post one. I did more troubleshooting on my Ubuntu 11.04 fstab and this is the final line I ended up using that allows read/write access and creates files with the correct unRAID permissions. From what I could tell, I pared it down to the minimum parameters required to make things work. It's also much cleaner than the line I posted earlier in this thread.
//192.168.0.10/disk1 /mnt/disk1 cifs username=<unRAID user>,password=<unRAID user password>,noperms,uid=nobody,gid=users 0 0
- Replace 192.168.0.10 with your unRAID IP address
- Replace "disk1" with the unRAID share name that you're mounting
- My unRAID shares were read-only until I added "noperms"
- For unRAID 5, you want to make sure your files are owned by the "users" group (gid=users). That's the group that all unRAID users are a member of, and it makes sure your other users can move/delete files you create through your Linux computer. I set the user to nobody (uid=nobody) though you could replace that with your actual unRAID user.
To quote limetech on permissions:
All files will be in the 'users' group (gid=100). Files created under security modes public or secure will be created with the 'nobody' user (uid=99/gid=100). Files created under security mode private will be owned by that user (uid=1000+/gid=100). "Ownership" is actually inconsquential since all users are in the same group (the 'users' group) and the group rw permissions are always set.I won't say how many hours I spent on my Ubuntu server figuring this out...

I had the same problem with unRAID shares on an Ubuntu installation. After several hours of google-fu and many tests I finally found a combination of parameters that gave me write access. Here's a sample that's working for me from my fstab:
//tower/Downloads /mnt/tower/Downloads cifs username=<username>,uid=<username>,gid=users,dir_mask=0777,file_mask=0755,password=,rw 0 0
You may not need all those parameters. I can't remember which one finally made the difference. I was just relieved to finally have it working.

I'm passing this info along to hopefully save someone else the hours of googling it took me to figure this out. NFS support in Windows is very poorly documented. First of all, you need Windows 7 Ultimate for this to work. Lesser versions of Windows 7 don't include NFS support.
My main roadblock was that every share I mapped resulted in "Access denied" errors. It turns out you need an obscure registry hack to allow Windows to authenticate properly. Here's what you need to do.
1. In Control Panel, open Programs and Features.
2. Click "Turn Windows features on or off."
3. Enable "Services for NFS" and click OK. Wait for it to install.
4. Start the registry editor.
5. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ClientForNFS\CurrentVersion\Default.
6. Create two DWORD values: AnonymousUid and AnonymousGid. They both need to be set to the number zero (0).
7. Reboot.
8. Activate NFS in unRAID 5 (Settings tab) and on the Main tab click the shares you want to export. Set "Export" to Yes. I used Public security. I had to reboot my unRAID server for NFS shares to work after enabling NFS support the first time.
8. In Windows 7, map your drives with the "Map network drive" feature by using this format for the path: tower:/mnt/user/Video
You can also do this from the command line:
mount tower:/mnt/user/Video z:
Note that for NFS shares you have to provide the full unRAID folder path, not just the final shared folder.
Alas, after doing all this work I found out that my NFS transfers in Windows topped out at about 30 MB/sec. I get up to 120 MB/sec in Samba. Oh well.

By the way, here's the call trace on on my system on the active core during a spike. You can see it trying to do some display-related work:
