Hi, For the last 3+ years I had a ESXi 5/6 host running unraid as guest. 2 Weeks ago I migrated to unRaid 6 as host and I couldn't be happier! Great job! The only issue's i'm experiencing are due to the dependancies between the services in the system. For example, libvirtd requires the array to run for it to run. This is a huge dependancy and one that isn't really required. Since every network related update requires a services to shutdown and sometimes array it's hard to manage the system. Try running an active directory as a VM, not possible. The current configuration is set to relay on the array storage for libvrt.img (and docker) and other vm images. I understand why, since unRaid is set to run on a USB stick this has much sense. Since unRaid is originally a raid management system running on a USB stick such legacy led to the current configuration. With the current state of unRaid things have change, running as a virtualization host has some implications. To server as a proper solid virt host unRaid must not depend on the array for virtualization. We need an option to mount local disks and be able to run VM's on them. The unassigned devices plugin provides the option to mount local disks but it stops/start based on the array stop/start command. So, if we have the option to mount physical disks as persistent, non raid, logical disks as a native unraid feature it will be the first phase towards the goal. Then a user can opt in to run libvirtd on that disks with no connection to the array or any other service.

Hi, I have the Gigabyte GA-X99 SOC Force m/b. On top of the X99 chipset USB controllers there are 2 x USB 3.0/2.0 controllers: Renesas uPD720210 Hub Each Renesas controller provides 4 ports. The PCI device list does not show these controllers (although they work, unraid detects connected devices and allows passing them to guests) 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 DMI2 (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev 02) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev 02) 00:03.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 PCI Express Root Port 3 (rev 02) 00:03.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 PCI Express Root Port 3 (rev 02) 00:05.0 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 Address Map, VTd_Misc, System Management (rev 02) 00:05.1 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 Hot Plug (rev 02) 00:05.2 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 RAS, Control Status and Global Errors (rev 02) 00:11.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset SPSR (rev 05) 00:11.4 SATA controller: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset sSATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 05) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 05) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset MEI Controller #1 (rev 05) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V (rev 05) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset HD Audio Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset LPC Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset 6-Port SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset SMBus Controller (rev 05) 01:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

chipset. The m/b comes with 18 ports, 10 from the chipset 8 from the Renesas controllers. You can see from the layout the 3 "unnamed" USB controllers, 2 x USB 2 (2x4 ports) and 1x USB 3 (2 ports) = total of 10 chipset ports. I'm not able to find the PCI Bridge for the Renesas controllers. Help is much appreciated, thank you!!!

It was close zpool export pool01 zpool import -R /mnt/zfs pool01 will do: /mnt/zfs/pool01

GREAT PLUGIN! Thanks! Is this the place for feature requests? I'll give it a shot I would like to have the option to "hide" some of the devices, this can be done by adding the identification string to a list in the plugin's settings. I have 4 drives that are part of a ZFS array, they are wide open in the Unassigned Devices list, merged with other drives I do use via the plugin. I have to examine every change making sure I won't do something to one of the drives in the ZFS array. The plugin "hides" drives part of the array, surely it can also hide custom drives specified by the user. Thanks!

steini84, The pool is set on /pool01 (when I did zpool import -a) How do I change it to /mnt/zfs I don't want to break it

Worked like a charm! Had to zpool import -a -f and THAT IS IT! Thank you!!!

Thanks. Can't remember the version I had, but it was a napp-it dist from 2013 I think... I'll wait for the 6.2.2 version, how do I get it specifically?

steini84, Congratulations!!! best of times with the new born! I'm using 6.2.2, do you have a compiled version for it? Another thing I'm facing, I have napp-it as an ESXi guest. It had a SAS card passedthrough and used 4 1TB HDDs to get a total of 1TB. I can't load the old VM, can I use you'r plugin to setup my pool as it was? without rebuilding the pool? Thanks, and congrats!

Hi guys, Just upgraded my memory and have 8 GB (2x4G) of spare Kingston KVR1333D3E9SK2/8G? Great condition, working perfectly (used them with my Supermicro X9 SCM-F) I`ll give them for a great price, depending on buyers location. Payment via Paypal, ebay sale optional for those who needs the extra safety. If your interested, please PM me.

My unRaid VM has 4GB of mem allocated (all dedicated due to VMDP req). Im not passing the 4GB bar... I did not experiance slow writes since installed rc12... only slow Parity writes... Note that this happen while in workstation mode... I took out the ESXi usb and replaced it with the unRaid one. This loaded the unRaid machine without issues... Did the Parity check on that.. still slow. Another thing is the version, the post creator referenced rc8a, not 12a so this is not the case here. Maybe it is a local issue to my setup... tough I must say its a common setup here. I guess if this is a global issue people will start asking questions. For now i`ll stick with rc10, it works. Thanks!

Thanks for commenting... The syslog posted was the whole code from unMenu. My HW: Supermicro X9SCM-F bios 2.0a, 2x IBM M1015 passthrough (ZFS & unRaid), 1x GPU passthrough (win), 24 GB Mem The other suggestions was not applied. Are these mandatory for rc12a? rc10 works fine.

I`v wasted a whole friday on this... Set a dedicated workstation, replaced my SAS card with another... Ton of work... no solution. With no hope I degraded to unraid 5.0-rc10 (was 5.0-rc12a)... What do you know... it works now. 34.5 MB/s Now, I have tested this on a workstation so virtualization has no part here... Did anyone do a complete Parity check with LOTS of correction? Maybe no one tested it.... so its a bug in 12a I`m pretty sure. I tried everything... only rc10 worked.

I did, it takes ages and dosent speed up. 30 days parity check is something I might make once but I cant relay on a system that acts like this. I need to isolate the problem. If nothing helps I will have to move it to a dedicated workstation and check...

bump... Any clues, directions? I`m stil unproteceted.

Hi, Thank you for the reply. Here is the system log. syslog-2013-04-13.zip
