Thanks for the reply. I'll see if I can remove the disk from the web UI when the machine is off. For the USB issue, no, it's not connected to any other VM. I didn't know about the USB manager plug-in, I'll give that a shot and report back. Thanks!

Hi, I've been using Unraid for a couple of months now and I'm pretty comfortable with my set-up; I'm currently running 7.0.1. I have a number of apps and VMs installed, I believe I'm set up pretty well and I'm enjoying having a centralised server that I can run everything from. I have a question about a VM that I'm running. It's running the latest ubuntu LTS version but my question is about the config of the machine in Unraid. There are two "issues" that I'm seeing that I believe are related. One is that when I eject the install media both in the VM and on the VM management page in Unraid, if the machine is then restarted, the installation media returns. Not a problem in itself, but I suspect it shows that I'm doing something wrong. The second is more annoying. I have a device which is connected to the physical USB slot on the server. I pass that through to the VM by checking the box in the server config page. That makes the USB device available to the VM and everything works. But, again, if the machine is restarted, the USB selection is lost. Is that something I'm doing wrong, is that a bug, or is that expected behaviour? I've attached my diagnostics in case they're useful, but I suspect they're not in this instance. I'm always happy to get feedback though. I'm aware that I'm running without parity. I have a new disk turning up on Tuesday so I've chosen to not run parity now until that disk arrives to save running it twice in quick succession. Thanks rack-diagnostics-20250525-1306.zip
