    Hi @ghost82 and @morethanenough I'm getting a similar error but not exactly sure I understand this solution or if it will work for my case.

    I’m running and intel i5-11400 with iGPU. No other GPU. Attached is what my system devices looks like.

    I have tried all the options for ACS override before but it made no difference in the system devices.

    According to my screenshot, what do I need to do?

     

    Thanks

    Can you show us a screenshot of the error you are receiving and please attach your system diagnostics.

  2. What kind of router / network setup do you have?  This is very likely a network issue, not an Unraid issue, otherwise we'd be seeing reports of this same behavior all over the forum and as far as I can tell, this is the first time I've ever even heard of an issue like this.  Not trying to pass the buck, but your diagnostics don't show anything that stands out to me.  Maybe @bonienl has more insights, but from what I can see, the problem may be stemming from somewhere else.  Have you tried assigning a different static IP, replacing your router or switch, or cables at this point?

  3. Hi BitForce and thank you for all of this candid feedback!  We always appreciate the insights from our users.  Allow me to address some of what you wrote.

     

    Backups

    This is a really great suggestion and one we have definitely talked about a lot internally.  I can't comment much more than that right now, but know that in the meantime, there are a plethora of community-supported solutions for this.

     

    App Ecosystem

    Again, really great feedback and some of those things are already available in beta form (e.g. remote access).  I like a lot of the other ideas you have in there as well!!

     

    Questions

    Regarding ZFS support, yes, it is still on the horizon for future inclusion.  I can't speak to when each specific sub-feature of ZFS will be UI-controllable, and as far as migrating data is concerned, there will be no support for in-place filesystem conversions, so make sure you don't put the cart before the horse on this one.

     

    As far as providing you insights on our vision for the future, all I can say is that we are committed to growing this community substantially.  Other than that, I cannot provide comments on specific features or speak to a 3-5 year roadmap.

  4. Hi everyone!

     

    Are you struggling to find a last-minute gift for that tech-savvy friend of yours? What about hooking up your IT staff with a way to build their own home lab? Unraid is the perfect gift for that techie you love this holiday season! Just visit https://unraid.net/pricing and click "Buy Now" under any of the key types. Instead of a full blown registration key, you will be given an activation code that you can give to your friend/loved one/coworker/employee to use whenever they want! Spread the home server love with Unraid!!

     

    IMPORTANT NOTE:  This is brand new to our website.  Previously you had to have a running server to initiate the purchase process for a registration key.  This new method is ideal for gift-giving!

    It's kind of a universal thing, some edits in the wizard end up with a "stuck at updating" condition. It's not just the share config, I've had it happen when messing with video and network as well.

     

    Unfortunately it's not easy to reproduce, at least for me. Some things work, some don't.

     

    That's unfortunate.  If anyone can screen capture the event occurring and show the browser debug info, that would be really helpful.  I don't think this is an issue with Unraid OS itself as much as it is with the GUI (javascript, html, css).

    I'll ping @jonp as well, he is an employee of Limetech, and has a lot of experience with virtual machines.

     

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention.  With respect to the first issue with adding multiple 9p mount points, are you saying that the UI is preventing you from adding more than 1?  If so, this is a bug and we'll need to add this to the Bug Report board for tracking the issue.

  7. Hi there,

     

    Saw your request into support.  We honestly have no idea what exactly happened here and given that so much time has passed since the issue first occurred, we really don't have any way to reproduce this issue at this point.  The best advice I can give you is to manually delete the hidden folder via command line and recopy the data without using a proprietary program like Robocopy.  I think that is the source of your issue.  If Robocopy is creating directories that don't show up when browsing over SMB, but copying files regularly over SMB works fine, then the issue is with Robocopy and I would suggest opening a support ticket with them to get additional help.

  8. Hi there,

     

    A few things to keep in mind.  First and foremost is that AMD GPUs are notoriously more difficult to pass through to VMs than NVIDIA, so keep that in the back of your mind.  The second thing worth noting is that the host OS needs a GPU and you'll need one for the guest.  If the motherboard has integrated graphics, you need to ensure those are enabled in the BIOS and set as the primary graphics there so that when Unraid boots, it utilizes that iGPU and then you can use your discrete GPU for the VM.  If you don't have an iGPU on that system, you can try some more advanced guides to passing through the GPU:

     

     

  9. Thanks for the feedback guys!  I first noticed the anti-cheat problem when my favorite game, Escape from Tarkov, decided to prevent VM users from playing.  Fortunately it wasn't a ban, but rather, just insta-kick from the game servers.  Still very annoying but at least it wasn't a permaban.

     

    The hard truth is that eventually, game developers won't be able to ignore VM gaming users.  This is a growing market segment that I only see continuing to grow over time.  And with the ability to hide/mask things getting better and better, eventually it won't even be an option for them to ban based on VM detection.

  10. Unfortunately we do not have any 30-series GPUs for testing here, but we do see other users reporting success with this combination.  I don't think your issue is the GPU.  I think it is more likely tied to your Ryzen CPU.  AMD CPUs have been notorious for causing weird performance oddities on random setups.  Some users report everything working great, others have issues like you've described.  The big things you need to try:

     

    1)  Disable all dockers, plugins, or any other custom 3rd party add-ons you have installed on your system and retest.

    2)  Did you properly isolate your CPUs for your VM?  You can do this from Settings -> CPU Pinning page.

     

    If you've already done those exact things and are still having poor performance, I'm not sure what else to suggest other than changing the CPU/mobo.

  11. I think you are legitimately running out of memory.  I don't see this as a "runaway issue".  When you use hugepages for VMs, that memory is reserved for the VM even when its shut down.  That is the one major downside to using hugepages:  you cannot dynamically utilize that memory.  In addition, beyond the memory assigned to the VMs you have, memory is also utilized by QEMU/KVM for emulating components for those VMs.  That utilizes additional memory.  So between the 20GB being assigned to your Windows VM via Hugepages, another 2.5GB for your Linux VM, that leaves you with less than 10GB remaining for all of your applications and the emulation required for your VMs as well as any additional overhead for filesystem operations (which can vary).  I think you're butting up against the upper limits of your memory usage and should consider reducing your Windows VM to 16GB (along with the hugepages reservation you created).

     

    All the best,

     

    Jon
