  1. Any recommendations for a Nvida card (mid to low price range) to be passed thru to a Windows 10 VM? I would like to connect to a monitor and speakers via HDMI.
  2. I'm on 6.7.2 and my monthly parity check speed has been cut in half from approximately 90MB/s to 50MB/s. Prior to 6.7.2 speed has been consistently around. 90MB/s. I've made no hardware changes. I've attached my diagnostic file. tower-diagnostics-20190701-1450.zip
  3. I'm looking at the above motherboard. Any issues with UnRaid I should be aware of? The reason I'm looking at this board is the number of pcie slots and it's compatible with my current AMD processor. Also I assume it's HVM and IOMMU compatible. My current board is an ASUS M5A97 and my CPU is an AMD FX8350.
  4. That was my first thought as the drive was inserted into an IStar cage, so I tried the drive in a dock to see if it was recognized as an unassigned device, same result. Once formatted in Windows it was recognized as an unassigned device in the dock. Weird.
  5. I attempted to replace a 1TB data drive with a 2TB WD Blue drive. Following the wiki, I stopped the array, unassigned the 1TB drive, powered down, replaced the drive with the 2TB, powered up the unRaid box, stopped the array but the 2 TB drive wasn't recognized. I removed the drive and it was recognized in my Windows PC. Tried again, same result. I once again tried the drive in my Windows PC but this time I formatted it. Now it was recognized in unRaid. Is this normal? BTW, I'm running unRaid 6.70 rc7.
  6. Turns out the culprit was my fstab file. Apparently some update to systemd caused a problem which was solved by adding the following code to my unRaid shares in fstab: noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,timeo=14,x-systemd.idle-timeout=0, Hope this helps others who my encounter this problem.
  7. I've been running a Ubuntu server 18.04 VM on Unraid 6.70 RC7. I've been backing up the VM weekly but have recently run into a problem with my latest backup. I was trying to change the cpu pining of my VM (with the my VM shut down) when I restarted, everything was borked. I tried booting my latest backup and it stopped after "Dependency failded for local file system." I successfully booted a previous backup but noticed my network interface changed (after running ip link) from enp9s0 to enp11s0. I edited network .conf and all was well. I also noted my couchpotato DB was corrupt (in root) and I deleted it as well. After updating the server using apt-get dist-upgrade i shut down and when I tried to reboot I received the same error. I've attached a screen shot of the boot screen. I booted several times with this backup but when I correct network.conf I have the same issue when I try to reboot. I am currently running the VM using the second to last backup but if I shut down, I'm sure I'll run into the same problem. Any suggestions on trouble shooting steps? Thanks.
  8. In addition to pinning the cores to my Windows VM, I isolated the cores, rebooted, so far, so good. Hopefully I excised the demons!
  9. I'm running a Windows 10 Pro VM on UnRaid 6.7 0 RC5 and I'm experiencing occasional "demoic sound." I'm passing thru my on-board sound card (AMD Azalia (IntelHDA)) on my ASUS M5A97 R2.0 motherboard. I've run the MS-Util utility recommended in Space Invader's video. The demonic sound only occurs occasionally and I can usually correct it by opening and running sound the Windows sound configuration setup. I'm also passing thru a video card (AMD Radeon HD 5000/6000) and a Logitech mouse and keyboard (unifying receiver.) BTW, this issue existed in prior RCs and 6. stable release. Any thoughts?
  10. Updated to 6.7RC1. Nerd tools and Dev Pack both stuck at "receiving plugin information." Anyone else experience this? Otherwise works well and looks great.
  11. I'm running a Windows 10 VM with a wire mouse and keyboard. i'm trying to replace it with a wireless Logitech combo wireless mouse keyboard. There is one USB dongle for both wireless devices recognized by UNraid as a Logitech unifying receiver. When I tried removing the wired mouse and keyboard from the VM (using the GUI) I get the error, missing USB device. I can start the VM with both the wireless and wired mouse/keyboard attached. Windows recognizes both. Any advise as to how I should edit the XML file so as to not get this error? Thanks. SOLVED I edited the XML deleting reference to the wired USB mouse and keyboard and the VM now boots without them attached.
  12. I need a recommendation for a KVM switch. I have 2 video cards installed (my mother board, an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 has no on board video) in my UNraid box running v 6.6.6. I have a Windows 10 VM hooked up to a Radeon HD 500 card. The system card is an old PCI Radeon card. The VM works fine when directly hooked up to my Samsung monitor, however it only works intermittently when I attach a KVM switch I had lying around. The connections are DVI. Additionally, when the VM did display, it only displayed at 1024 resolution. Any suggestions on a switch?
  13. I have 3 HDDs in the iStar Cage. I have 2 fans in the front of the R5 case and 1 on the top of the case. The rest of the bays are fully populated with HDDs and I have 2 SSDs mounted in the side brackets. The temps seem ok to me. Generally the HDDs are 25 to 35 C depending on the load and the season. I live in NYC and have to crank up the AC in the Summer.
  14. after updating to 6.62, my VM is running, but the dashboard and VM tab shows it as stopped. Strange.
  15. Thanks Johnnie.black. I followed the steps in the link and I'm up and running.
  16. I'm on 6.6 RC1. I have a 2 disk (HDDs) cache pool which I want to replace with a cache pool of 2 SSDs which I just added to my system. The SSDs are currently recognized as unassigned disks. I intend to reassign the current 2 HDD disks in my cache pool as data disks. I have several VMs on my cache pool as well as the system files (docker and libvirt) and docker app data files. I intend to (1) back up the VMs, app data and system directories to the array; (2) Stop the array and remove the current HDDs from the cache pool; (3) add the unassigned SSDs to the cache pool (which I assume will automatically be formated as BTRFS) (4) format the HDDs as XFS and add to the array; (5) Start the array and copy VMs, app data and system directories to new cache pool. I assume when I restart the array, the VM and docker service will not start until after the system files are copied to the cache pool and I restart the array for the second time. Let me know if I'm missing something. Thanks.
  17. I'm running a Ubuntu server 16.04 VM. When I shut down the server and restart it, it boots into safe mode and I have to enter Control-D to get to a log in prompt. If I restart if (or shut it down and then start it) several times, I will eventually boot to a login prompt. I have no idea how to trouble shoot this problem. Any suggestions? I'm on the latest unRAID release (6.5.3.)
  18. I have created a Ubuntu server 16.04 VM and when I try to mount a share I get a "failed to raise network" error on boot. I find this odd since I've been successfully running another Ubuntu server 16.04 VM. I copied the same fstab entries that I have in my successful VM, but no luck. This also occurs when my "successful" VM is shut down and when mounting different shares. When I mount the shares they are visible within the VM but there's no network. When I remove the mount point and reboot, the network is raised successfully. I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
  19. Cache/appdata/CrashplanPro/bin/run is an empty directory. Hmmm, that's odd. I'll try reinstalling from scratch, not using the template.
  20. In the engine_error log it shows: /usr/local/crashplan/bin/startCrashPlanEngine.sh: source: line 10: can't open '/usr/local/crashplan/bin/run.conf'
  21. I updated unRAID to 6.5.2 RC-1 (DVB version) and now the web GUI can't connect to the CrashPlan engine. Anyone else on 6.5.2 RC-1? I tried restarting the docker but no luck. Any suggestions?
  22. I have SageTV in a Docker using the DVB plugin running LibreELEC 6.5.1. I'm trying to get my Hauppauge quad turner working and so far no luck. Unraid and Sage sees the 4 tuners as LG Electronics LGDT3306A VSB/QAM Frontend but when I select it as a video source (OTA ATSC) I cant tune any channels. Any suggestions?
