  1. I'm hoping LT will eventually make it work without an initial adapter. I'm running my system headless with just ipmi. It would be nice to be able to throw a graphics card in and be able to run a linux mint cinnamon vm. My board is very limited on pci-e slots. I'm not sure there is much LT can do about it as the issue is with the NVidia cards only. AMD cards works to pass through if they are the only GPU. Thanks. As long as AMD cards work i'm fine with that. I'm going to have to pull my HD 5870 from my other system and test it out in unraid.
  2. Will AMD cards work then? I run headless ipmi with no graphics cards. Do you think a Radeon HD 5870 would work in the primary graphics slot? I'm wanting to do gpu pass through to a linux mint vm.

  4. Same thing happened with X58 westmere Xeons. Those started flooding ebay and all the used X58 boards shot up in price.
  5. I'm having the same issue.... See post #3 if it's still not working then attach supervisord.log That did it. Somehow I missed this. Thanks binhex!
  6. If I was building today that's what I would choose. X10SRL-F & E5-1650v3, it's a good choice. I'm wanting to build a E5 vm rig also but i'm kind of trying to hold out till skylake-EP when Intel moves to a brand new platform. Also it should have onboard 10GbE which I really want if i'm building a new server. It's not super urgent that I upgrade right away since I already have e3-1246v3 & X10SLH-F.
  7. Those RDIMM's you have listed will not work with that x10sl7-f board. What you want is unbuffered ecc like this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148770
  8. 1151 skylake motherboards are still very new and not really fully out on the market yet. Either wait a bit and get a better selection of boards to choose from or just do a 1150 haswell build.
  9. I bought a little 5 bay synology and filled it up in less than 6 months. I vowed to not ever do that again so I bought a 24 bay server case when I built my unraid server. I plan on buying a backup server in 2016 and will probably go with another 24 bay case. The physical space it takes up doesn't really bother me since I live in a house with plenty of room and don't plan on moving around, I bought a server rack, stick it in the basement and forget about it. If I was moving around a lot apartment to apartment I would definitely do things differently.
  10. sas2flsh -list and sas2flsh -o -listall You can try both of these commands. OK. It showed up. I used the Dell 6gbpsas and that' what is reported as the vendor/product ID. It does not say anywhere that it is an (IT). Guess the next step is to try it in a box. Thank you! If you boot into unraid with it installed you should be able to go to tools->system log. Then scroll down and look for LSISAS2008. It should list wether it's in IT mode or not.

  12. Sorry but I can't answer your question. Maybe someone else can help answer since I've never flashed a Dell Perc 310. I would try using Fireballs H310 instructions here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12767.msg259006#msg259006 and try using the bottom pcie slot.
  13. I don't do anything special. I've never seen the message. What I do is follow BetaQuasi's instructions here (he has the same motherboard btw). https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=26774.0 I download his boot file (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ezeqcbu2tlfub6a/M1015_X9SCM_BOOT_P17.zip), unzip, add it all to the root directory of my bootable usb, then I go to the Avago website and download the latest 9211-8i P20 firmware, add it to the usb drive replacing the older firmware that's on the usb. I don't flash a bios on any of my cards, only firmware.
  14. Seriously? I have one of those boards. Is the process the same or do I need to modify anything? That's an old board. Can it run UEFI? Wow coincidence. You should have no problem then. No uefi. Just flash in dos. I use the bottom pci-e slot. I've never specifically flashed a Perc 310 but I imagine it should be the same. It should definitely work for you. I've flashed like 5 LSI 9220-8i controllers so far with this motherboard.
  15. I've heard of people needing to try 3 or 4 motherboards before they found one that would work. But yeah definitely try flashing from uefi shell. I'm going to be flashing another M1015 for somebody this morning from my Asus P6X58D Premium. Works like a charm.
  16. its an open plex issue, has been for a few weeks now. Yeah, all this time i've been wondering why my bluray rips weren't playing. Started a few weeks ago. Anyway I hope they fix it....
  17. Most newer well designed power supply's are quiet anyway because unless you're putting load on them the fan will never even spin anyway. I have a Corsair HX750w with 10 WD Reds in my rig and I don't think i've ever seen the PS fan spin.
  18. It would be nice to have an official statement in the unraid 6 manual.... Let's just say i'm not really a big fan of marvel controllers. First got burned on my X58 mainboard with a watered down SATA-III. I think they are generally a lower-end more buggy controller and the LSI chipset is mostly superior. You read around the internet in the other NAS forums and the LSI/M1015 controllers are pretty much the go to cards for NAS builds.
  19. If cost is not a factor then by all means get the LSI card. Not worth the potential headaches imo. There are corruption issues, VM issues, and preclear issues with the marvel chipset in unraid. I got rid of my 2 SAS2LP cards because I was getting SMART timeout errors during preclear. The preclear would just stop like 30 seconds in.
  20. When unraid 6.2 (release version) shows up I plan on swapping in 2 6TB Reds as parity. If these are available at the time I might consider it (depending on price) i'm sure these will probably be pretty expensive when they first release it though.
  21. I can't see much benefit of it in a home media server/nas situation. It might be worth it in a small business with multiple computers needing to access/copy large files back and forth to the server on a constant basis. I have my synology 1513+ with lacp enabled to my 24 port HP Procurve and cant tell a bit of difference.
  22. Nice but wake me up when it get's down in price to $200 or less.
  23. If you want ultimate compatibility with unraid you will switch controllers and get something with a LSI chipset. Those supermicro cards work great for most people, but then sometimes they don't.....
  24. Here's a thread you might want to read through. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=11357.0;nowap
