I am setting up a DL580 G9 and the USB created by the unraid USB creator will not boot. A Debian live USB boots correctly. I backed up my USB and reformatted with Rufus as a Freedos disk, UEFI and Fat32. Deleted all the files of the USB, Copied all the files from an unzipped Unraid 7.14, then replaced the config with my original copy. Ran make bootable and voila booted no problem. Don't know what HP doesn't like about the USB creator.

For anyone setting up a G9 system I could not get SPP9.1 to work. Ctrl - Alt - D - B - X did nothing. I downloaded SPP8.1 and it worked, my P830i is now running in HBA mode.

Thanks, adding the variable lets me pick the P620.

I have a quadro p620 installed for transcoding and a Tesla P40 for LLM's, however Emby can only see the P40. Any ideas? thanks

Why not just buy another SAT2-MV8, $20 on ebay.

If you are ok with preowned then 40gig will be much cheaper than 25gb. Mellanox 40gb card for windows $15, XL710 40gb for mac $60, Juniper 4300 switch $120 with 24 1gb POE, 4 SFP+ 10gb and 4 QSFP+ 40gb. This is how I upgraded my 10gb lan when I started saturating it. Very glad I bypassed 25gb.

Info for anyone else importing child datasets. UNRAID sets owner to nobody for the top level, but child datasets are root. I could not access from Windows until I did a change owner on the datasets. This is not instantaneous for 140TB but it will finish eventually :)

Are you saying that I can kep my child datasets with different recordsizes but to access them i just treat them as a folder. Say I have a top level dataset named storage and child datasets called TV and Movies. In Truenas I have 2 shares TV and Movies, in UNRAID I could just use storage/TV and storage/Movies instead. I think I can make this work, thanks. I really didn't want to change my data structure so I could easily switch back to Trunas if needed. I just have to think like trashguides as far as file and folder structure.

So what you meant when you said I can import my pools from Truesnas is that they will import but be completely useless until I destroy my dataset structure and move all my data from every dataset into a share/folder at the top level. So no different recordsize for different types of data. Also changing all the docker volumes. Is there a reason that UNRAID cant use standard ZFS structure? Also why support child datasets if you cant use them? I really wanted to go back to UNRAID but this current ZFS implementation doesn't seem ready for primetime.

I have the ZFS master plugin and it will let you create child datasets as will the CLI, my problem is how to create a share on a child dataset. If you "add share" in the gui the primary storage choice does not let you pick a child dataset. Can you do this from the CLI? If you can use the CLI for this could you point me at a page showing this.

I am looking at moving back to UNRAID now that it supports ZFS. I switched because I could not achieve high enough read speeds for LTO6 backups. I see that UNRAID is very picky about pool names but easy enough to change. My problem is shares. Standard practice is not to use the root dataset for shares, but with a test pool I created I can not figure out a way to assign a share to a child dataset. All my Truenas pools are setup with child dataset shares. Will I be able to import them into UNRAID? thanks

You are running a SAS3 controller, use SAS3 drives for your parity. Right now you have a ferrari controller hooked up to moped parity drives.

I manually switched my appdata to bypass FUSE a while ago, thats what exclusive shares is mainly for, right? I don't see how exclusive shares change transfer speeds onto unraid, it definitely seems to help dockers. My main problem is still the question of why my nvmes are so slow.

Did changing ARC size help? I am having speed problems with an nvme cache pool. 4 512gb nvme raidz1 on asus hyper pcie3 x16 slot. Copying from nvme on lan system with 10g connection fastest transfer is 500-550mb/s. Copying to my sas3 ssd cache of 3 500gb raidz1 will saturate a 10g conection. How can 12g sas be twice as fast as nvme. Could the asus card be the problem, is bifurcation slowing the nvmes down. What about switching to 2 mirrors or just setup 4 cache pools with individual nvmes? Any ideas welcome.

Connectx-3 does not support WOL. Easiest way is to plug in the motherboard rj-45 port and use that for WOL.

Updated and problem solved. thanks

My main media share is showing 857TB free space. The dashboard shows correct sizes 133TB of 191TB. used. If I click compute it shows size of 127TB and all the disks show correct size and free space. I checked the disk shares and they all display the correct size and free space. Any ideas on where to look? I'm running 12.2.2. thanks

Be very careful if you use the new P20 firmware. I just upgraded to a H8DGiF MB and 3 H310's. The H310's were flashed to 9211 P20 firmware, wanted to get the upgrades done before switching to 6. 5.0.5 booted just fine and everything seemed ok. The system started running slow and the log showed 1000's of read errors on 2 seagate 2gb drives and a few hundred errors on 2 3gb WD reds, no problems with the other 8 WD red drives. SMART test passed for all 12 drives but UDMA CRC errors were 1000-4000 range. I shutdown server checked all cables and moved cards to different slots. On bootup parity was bad and I tried a noncorrecting scan but it was running at 1MB/s so I cancelled it. Ran diskspeed.sh and drives ranged from 93-131MB/s. While I was wondering what to do next one of the seagate drives red balled. Removed drive, reboot, add it back and start rebuild, this started off at 700k/s. At this point I almost replaced my old Tams MB and controllers, instead I started Googling and found a message on hardforum talking about crazy drive problems with P20. Reflashed cards back to P19. No more errors and data rebuild is going at 80MB/s.
