  1. 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:

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    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.

  5. 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
    11 Drives and 1 Parity Drive

    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.

  7. 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

  8. 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/

     

  9. 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.

    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.

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

     

    2020-05-17 09:37:28,402 DEBG 'watchdog-script' stdout output:
    [warn] Incoming port site 'https://portchecker.co/check' failed to web scrape, marking as failed

     

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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....

  15. 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.

  16. I upgraded one of my computers to Windows 10 on 7/3 with all the latest updates and now I'm seeing these entries in my unRAID 6.0.1 log too.:

     

    Jul 6 10:37:52 Tower avahi-daemon[3446]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.0.2.

     

    There are tons of them. It would be nice if it would only log the error once....
