I have an application that needs OpenGL, which will not work with VNC and the virtual video adapter, it generates and error on launch when I do not pass through my GPU. When I enable VNC as my first graphics adapter and pass through my GPU as the second graphics adapter, the program will launch whereas it won't with just the VNC adapter. And I verified under windows settings that applications have the 750ti as default, and it shows in device manager. This leads me to think Windows is using the 750ti, but perhaps not, but it is strange the OpenGL application works then? When I edit the VM to remove the VNC adapter and only have my 750ti, when I RDP to it, I get an RDP error - it does not connect, likely the VM is not booting. If I add the VNC adapter in, I can VNC in and RDP in. Not sure where to go from here?

I am passing through an NVIDIO 750 ti on my Windows 10 VM, I see the card in Device Manager, and I have installed the drivers. Everything looks to be working, but when I try something simple like playing a youtube video, it is terribly chunky as the video card is not keeping up. FYI, I have VNC set as the first graphics card in the VM setup, so I can use VNC instead of RDP when needed and to help diagnose issues. Is this an issue? I have I have an AMD video card that is dedicated to the physical unraid server to run a monitor, it is not passed through. In Device Manager in the Win10 VM I see Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, Microsoft Remote Display Adapter, and my NVIDIA 750 ti. Perhaps the Win10VM is not using the 750ti as the graphics adapter? Or some other reason the performance is un-useable?

Believe I have it resolved: The 3TB drive that initially went missing must be dead, it is not being picked up The 8TB drive that I tried installing is from an 8TB seagate enclosure, brand new but appears to be dead or maybe seagate drives have the 3.3v pin? The 10TB drive that I tried installing is a white label WD drive that has the 3.3v pin and my power supply is not compatible, so it powers down I installed a molex to sata power connector to bypass the 3.3v and I now have the 10TB drive visible in Unraid, and chose it for disk 8. I entered my password to start the array, and now it is "Starting..." and disk 8 shows as Mounting so hopefully that is resolved now. When I reset my mobo bios, it turned off CPU virtualization, so I turned it on, presumably that is resolved when the array starts and I can check my VMs. I still get the following error along the top of the screen, since upgrading the flash: Warning: parse_ini_file(/usr/local/emhttp/state/flashbackup.ini): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/include/myservers2.phpon line552 *Edit* The array has now progressed to rebuilding, woohoo! Thanks for the help! VMs are working now as well, just the flashbackup error to deal with now?

No disks show up when attached to my server to replace the disk or to add a new disk to the array. I have tried with 3 different disks on known working SATA & power cables, and none of them show up unfortunately.

Power is not an issue, I have a 1200w psu with no splitters involved. I have tried switching power around to other disks, it is always disk 8 that does not show up. I have copied all the data from Disk 8 to outside of the array. What do I do next please?

Ok, I will get an external drive and try hooking it up to copy my files off. Yes, the files are emulated and I can browse the disk. Disk8 is attached via SATA cable, was originally direct to the motherboard and I have tried it now on both my SATA controllers as well, no change.

FYI, I started looking around my server after starting the array, and my WIndows 10 VM is broken, when I try to start it I get the following error: Execution error unsupported configuration: Domain requires KVM, but it is not available. Check that virtualization is enabled in the host BIOS, and host configuration is setup to load the kvm modules. I used this right before upgrading the flash drive to a larger size so I could upgrade unraid, not sure what is causing this issue now too?

Yes I have 1 parity drive and 1 missing drive, I started the array and attached new diagnostics. As for ReiserFS, I believe that is the file system when I first got unraid years and years ago, have no idea it needed to be upgraded. I have the fixcommonproblems app but it has not identified it as an issue? tower-diagnostics-Array-Started.zip

Diagnostics are attached! tower-diagnostics-20220906-1643.zip

I just did an upgrade from 6.10.1 to 6.10.3 hoping that would fix it. Now instead of showing Disk 8 as missing, it shows Disk 8 as uninstalled. What has happened to the data/parity for Disk 8, what to do?

Continued testing all afternoon, I reset my BIOS in case something was wonky, I swapped the power and SATA from my cache drive to the original drive and to a new drive, I cannot get Unraid to pick up any disks, disk 8 status remains missing and I cannot figure out how to recover from this? It isn't just the missing disk, but I cannot get unraid to recognize any new disks to the system, I have tried with 2 new out-of-the-box disks. Something went wrong with the Flash drive replacement? I cannot fall back to my old flash drive because as soon as I assigned the key to the new Flash, the old one is banned from ever being my servers flash. I also get this error now along the top of the GUI: Warning: parse_ini_file(/usr/local/emhttp/state/flashbackup.ini): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/include/myservers2.phpon line552 What to do?

Updated testing: 1. Plugged in a different new, larger drive - no change, does not show up to select in place of the missing disk 2. Unplugged another drive in case there was some strange max-number of drives hit, no change just results in 2 missing disks 3. Tried switching sata cables with another cable on a different controller, no change, still missing same disk

I upgraded the size of my flash drive using the backup procedure, and this worked. However when I booted up, one drive was missing. 1. I powered down, replaced the SATA cable, reseated the power cable, still missing drive 2. Swap the power cable and SATA with another drive, still missing the same drive 3. Replace the drive with a larger one, the larger drive does not show up I am not sure where to go from here, I have tested power, SATA, and the drive itself?

Thank you very much, will replace with a large usb stick now.

When I try to perform the latest update, I get the following message: boot device shows 291115008 free but upgrade needs 310215571 plugin: run failed: /bin/bash retval: 1 Probably means my 1gig usb stick is not large enough any more? I will buy a larger usb stick, what is the process to move to a new usb please?
