  1. Just wanted to report that i do not have to use a separate NIC anymore with unraid 6.3.5 to 6.4.1 (GTX1080) and its working flawless (Win10 VM to Shield TV Console). Rest of the Hardware (Unraid, Cables, Switch etc.) is still the same, even the crappy PCI-E 8x to 16x cable.
  2. Problem disappeared after some time / reboots !??? This is some strange behaviour. I did resize partitions before on older Unraid and Windows 10 versions and the new size was showing immediatly after rebooting the VM. So no help needed, but this is something that should get fixed if its not only happening to Ned and myself.
  3. Hi, I'm running unraid 6.3.5. After increasing the size of my Win10VM image (tried gui and qemu-img resize), the new size it not showing in the Windows VM. I did several reboots, changed back to original image size, increased image again - its not showing up under Windows Disk Management. I did this several times before and it always worked flawless after first VM launch. The VM image is saved on a btrfs formatted ssd mounted with the unassigned devices plugin, not shure if I ever changed VM image size not sitting on my cache pool. Help would really be appreciated.
  4. After buying a GTX970 and a PCI-E16x to PCI-E8x cable, I startet the journey to flawless gamestreaming from unraid VM (Win10) to my living room (Nvidia Shield TV). But after hours of configuration work with graphic settings, EDID override (no 1080p 60Hz option in monitor EDID file) and Moonlight settings , I got somehow frustrated that there were still hickups and stuttering in video and audio. There was a 4ms latency signalled by moonlight, but driving a racing sim with a racing wheel (directly connected to the server per 10m active usb cable), I could clearly feel and see that there was a latency of at least 200ms. After thinking it through again, I set up my VM xml file to passthrough the second NIC on my motherboard, deactivatet the network bridge in Win10 VM, and all problems gone! It seems you have to use a physical NIC to use the gamestream feature, at least it solved all problems in my case.
  5. After suffering from various problems after adding a Intel RES2SV240 to my SAS2LP-MV8 (redballs, parity check data rate close to zero during process, preclear script stopping in an unreproducable manner), I updated to the latest firmware from 4.0.0.1800 to 4.0.0.1812 and everythings seems to be back to normal. Thanks for pointing out how to update, worked on Supermicro X9SCL+-f with all cables connected, update process was finished after a few seconds.
  6. Thanks a lot! That makes one more usb-hdd obsolete!
  7. So finally, after I could solve my problems booting my unraid server throug the great support here, it seems to run just fine. I had to change the syslinux.cfg, noapic, like you suggested. This is a well thought out piece of software, i'll see how it performs on my outdatet media center.
  8. I'll give it a try, hope it works! give you some feedback (or new questions ) next week, thanks...
  9. Thanks for your quick answer WeeboTech, i'll give it a try with the test-version of unraid, if it works buy the pro-version. So if I understand your post the right way, it should work with my older mobile chipset because the newer one is supported?
  10. Hello unRaid Server Community, after i got some informations about different raid strategys, it seems that unRAID would be the solution i'd prefer. So my question is: would it be possible using my old MCPC hardware to build it? It consists of the following components: MSI 915GM Speedster-FA4 (Intel 915GM + ICH6 chipset) Intel Pentium M 745 1,8 GHz, 2MB L2 cache 1GB Ram I'd like to use up to 12 harddisks and it should work fast enough for GbE. I hope someone here can give me a short answer if its worth a try, or totally impossible because of ... Yes, I used the search function, checked out the hardware list, but I just didn't found the answers I searched for looking forward to your answers
