I dont think it is writing parity while I'm copying to SSD. The parity only comes in when the mover is triggered right?

updated the bios, disabled the 2nd port, restarted, enabled it again, restarted. still not showing up. thats so weird.

is it even safe to use killall rsync or pkill mover, considering it will be killed while transferring some file?

Hey Frank, alright will try that. corrected the link above, thanks! Might also try a bios update.

wow, what are the odds of that! Sadly, they are both enabled. So... should I check with a native windows install if the interfaces work?

Its an ASUS M2N SLI Deluxe. Product Page says: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2NSLI_Deluxe/specifications/ The board is actually listed as compatible on the unraid HW compatibility page: https://www.lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hardware_Compatibility Manual says its a If I start a virgin install of UnRAID, this is what ifconfig gives me: is that any help?

done. thanks

On my new setup (ASUS M2N SLI Deluxe) there are 2 Onboard Gigabit LAN ports. Only the primary one is recognized (eth0) the second one does not show up. No eth1 is available. When I disable eth0 in the BIOS, the machine is unreachable. Could this be related to me installing a Windows VM and setting up bridging earlier today? I since disabled bridging and switched on bonding, but this only shows eth0 available. Any help is much appreciated. tower-diagnostics-20170103-1326.zip

I just added my new SSD as a cache drive, and while initially getting speeds around 90 mb/s, they drop quickly to around 20mb/s, which is no faster than copying to the array directly. This copy is going to my array, but it seems that after a couple seconds it starts building parity and completely kills the copy speed. Any idea what can cause this? EDIT: Yep. Cache drive has to be enabled in the share itself, too. :-D silly me.

how about using a windows 10 vm to tunnel the smb multichannel? Can I basically share a virtual 10GbE connection that the VM gets to the Shares over a SMB multichannel connection that the VM has to the Main Windows Machine? Currently I only see 1 virtual Network Card in the VM. I have dual onboard LAN ports that I would have to somehow make available here.

Dear Community, what is the current state of affairs considering SMB multichannel? Is this feature now enabled in unRAID? If not, is it possible to bridge with a windows VM to get SMB Multichannel working? Thanks so much EDIT: Since it is considered unstable still, does anyone think it could be tunneled through a win10 VM?

on that note.. seems my Fibre Channel Idea wont work since the VM would access the Server via IP, which seems difficult to impossible to get working with Fibre.

That looks GOOD! Thank you!

Dear Community, I'm planning to grant my windows machine high speed access to the unraid by running a Windows VM on it and connecting to that via 4Gb/s Fibre Channel direct connection. I could, in theory, then route the internal Network bridge through to my Fibre Channel connection (which, as I have read elsewhere, is not supported in Unraid natively). So now on to the question: Will the internal br0 of the VM allow speeds in excess of 400MB/s to the UnRAID? (I have a 480GB cache SSD)

yep, changed to 2 now and looking how it develops
