  1. My current unraid server is pretty old now, however it still works fine - so have no reason to upgrade/replace the hardware.

     

    However with SSD prices dropping, I recently bought 2x 4tb sata SSDs to replace two array drives (one parity and one data).  Having now set all of that up, i read that this is probably a bad idea and I shouldn't use SSDs within the array.

     

    So the solution seems to be to use the SSDs in a btrfs pool outside of the array, as that would support trim.  However the version of unraid I am using (6.8.3) does not support multiple pools.

     

    The reason I have never upgraded unraid is that some years ago when i tried upgrading to v6.9.x this broke passthru on my vm's.  No one on the forums was able to help me fix that at the time.   So I reverted back to a working 6.8.3.

     

    I'm thinking that i should try upgrading again to the latest version and see where I stand.   However as I am so far behind, I'm concerned I won't be able to revert easily if things don't go as expected.

     

    Can anyone advise if downgrading back to v6.8.3 from v6.12.x is possible?

  2. Anyone else having issues with PIA today?

     

    2021-10-11 11:55:29,641 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output:
    [warn] Unable to successfully download PIA json to generate token from URL 'https://privateinternetaccess.com/gtoken/generateToken'
    [info] 8 retries left
    [info] Retrying in 10 secs...

     

    Seeing this error on all of the endpoints I have tried (around 10).



    Annnnndddd its working again now.    Presumably an issue at PIA.

  3. Has anyone else started seeing this error today?

     

    2021-04-15 15:50:53,919 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output:

    It just keeps repeating in the logs over and over.

  4. I had a win10 VM working fine prior to the upgrade to 6.9.1 (and now 6.9.2).  However now the VM will not boot showing this error:

     

    2021-04-15T09:59:32.788681Z qemu-system-x86_64: vfio: Cannot reset device 0000:02:00.1, depends on group 16 which is not owned.

     

    Am assuming this relates to my Nvidia graphics card I am passing though.

     

    Here are the groups:

     

    IOMMU group 14:			 	[10de:2182] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU116 [GeForce GTX 1660 Ti] (rev a1)
    IOMMU group 15:			 	[10de:1aeb] 02:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation TU116 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
    IOMMU group 16:			 	[10de:1aec] 02:00.2 USB controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU116 USB 3.1 Host Controller (rev a1)
    				Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    				Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

     

    I have ACS Override set to "both".

     

    I've also tried passing through the device in group 16, but that seems to cause the VM not to boot at all.

  5. So I've tried every endpoint in the PIA list and all throw this:

    Is PIA removing port forwarding ability completely?

     

    If so, is there a different VPN that supports port forwarding that anyone would recommend?

     

     

    EDIT, saw this on the PIA website:
    * The information contained within this article will only work with our Current/Previous Generation servers. Our Next Generation servers do not currently offer port-forwarding outside of the application. *

     

    So I guess as they upgrade their servers this will stop working.  Back to my other question then, can anyone recommend a different VPN that will work well with this docker?

    yes, as the log says, pia vpn api not accessible, i would assume only for this endpoint (france), try another of the ones listed in the log. 

     

    OK I switched to Germany and it seems to work now.

    Attached log.  I am assuming that this is the issue:

    Is this a PIA problem?

  8. Hi all,

     

    this container has been working fine for me for ages, but in the last couple of days I've been seeing this error:

    Neither privoxy or rtorrent works.

     

    Any ideas what is causing this?

    That would have been right 5-10 years ago but it's not true any more.

    Even back when RDP didn't work with games, GPU hardware acceleration still worked.

     

    You can now play games via RDP on Windows 10 (it was also reported to work with Windows 8 but I don't have any Windows 8 machine to test).

    • Not all games will work. Some games work but buggy e.g. audio issues.
    • Latency is ok but don't expect to play twitchy FPS
    • Graphics performance is more like watching a movie (think 24fps) so again no twitchy stuff

     

    Don't expect to use Teamviewer for free. Their free for personal uses policy is a scam because they can arbitrarily say "commercial use detected" and force you to pay for it. Just google "Teamviewer commercial use detected" and fine the comically long complaint topic about this issue, for which Teamviewer can't even bother to respond.

     

    Even if let's say RDP doesn't work, there are so many free alternatives out there such as NoMachine, Parsec, even VNC just to name some.

    But note that remote desktop is still remote desktop. If you expect to be just like you are sitting next to the workstation then you will be disappointed.

     

    It may be different by application I suppose, but I'm using win10 physical machine to a win10 vm (with an nvidia GPU passed through) and when using RDP the gpu is not detected for hardware encoding in Resolve (or Powerdirector).   Using teamviewer it is.

     

  10. Has anyone had issues with Sonarr not automatically starting when the array starts recently.  All was fine until a couple of days ago and now Sonaar will not auto start.

     

    It starts fine if I go and manually choose start from the menu....

     

    Am unsure exactly which parts of the log are current as it doesn't seem to create a new log when it starts, but these are the last entries from when it does not startup.

     

    [cont-finish.d] executing container finish scripts...
    [cont-finish.d] done.
    [s6-finish] syncing disks.

  11. OK so when I click on Cache, I can change that to btrfs.   When I click on cache2, it says "unknown" in partition format.

     

    Went ahead and changed Cache to btrfs anyway then clicked format.

     

    It looks like this worked (see screenshot).

     

    Now just need to change to raid 0 i guess.

  12. OK, so I stopped the array, ran the blkdiscard command on both disks, restarted array but see the same error message.

     

    Should I have removed them as cache drives first?  I'll try that now anyway.

  13. I want to use two ssd's in a raid 0 configuration as a cache drive.

     

    I created a RAID0 array in the bios of my unraid server, however unraid does not seem to see that - it still sees the individual disks.   Is this expected?
