Any thoughts?

Just learnt about syncthing and it is a great tool. Thanks for creating this docker container as well. I am facing one issue: My Windows VM (with syncthing installed) goes to sleep/hybernate shortly after starting. If I disable the docker container on Unraid, this does not happen. Any idea what's going on? Not sure how to troubleshoot either.

Any thoughts?

I run the Plextraktsync docker container. There seems to be a bug and the developer has asked me to install code from a pull request (https://github.com/Taxel/PlexTraktSync/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#install-code-from-pull-request). Is this possible for an Unraid docker container and how to do so? Thanks!

I have set up a new container and made some changes to the docker settings. I am facing a permission issue now. When downloading with a specific category (e.g., "movies" to sub-folder "/movies", all works well and all permissions are set correctly. When downloading just to regular download folder, the files are downloaded, but the folder (e.g., from a movie or music album) has wrong permissions. The files inside are fine though. Any idea what could be causing this and what I can provide for troubleshooting? Mapped drive is (unraid docker setting) Container: /data/usenet Host path: /mnt/user/appdata/sabnzbd/usenet Completed downloader folder (in sabnzbd setting) /data/usenet

I am using Unraid and VMs for 10+ years. Things used to work a lot better, but it seems that I did something wrong or something changed. My VM now runs very sluggish... Unraid and my Windows VM is run headless. I connect to the VM via Splashtop Personal. I have assigned 32GB ram and 16 cores (from my 10980XE). My Nvidia 1060t is passthrough with dumped vbios. The harddisk runs on an NVME disk. In other words, this shouldn't be a lack of resources... I remember I had this issue once before, which I addressed by disabling "memory integrity". Now it is still disabled, but for some weird reason, everything is very sluggish. Maybe my GPU is "faulty", but I don't know how I can check this? Maybe some settings is off? I have another Windows VM running, which seems to run faster although I have less resources allocated. But that's a subjective statement, so not sure whether fact-based. Any idea how I can troubleshoot this?

I think the bios/SMART thing is a toallly independent issue. I disabled the check. Whent I boot with usb enclosure attached, I receive the error message ""waiting up to 30 sec for device with label UNRAID - not found". And Unraid doesn't boot up. If I boot with the USB enclosure being disconnected, all works. And I can still use the enclosure after connecting it after boot. It still does not work to boot though with the enclosure connected to usb. Any idea what could be causing this issue?

Thanks for your help. Any thoughts based on the SMART information attached above? I will also pull a diagnostic and post it. Thanks!

I don't know. How can I see this? Is this in the log above? I am not overly worried about disk failure, but it annoys me that I cannot boot up without disabling the SMART feature in bios.

I have three disks with SMART errors. I "acknowledged" one of them, the other two still show errors. All disks pass SMART tests without errors. I am a bit concerned about disk failures, but believe these may actually be false errors. A related issue is that my mobo checks SMART at boot-up and does not allow me to boot (unless I disable the SMART check). I am attaching the smart log here. Any views on the health of the disk? And/or what else I can do to reset the SMART error? Thanks! tower-smart-20230317-1109.zip

I somehow succeeded to boot into Unraid by disconnecting my USB devices (except the Unraid boot usb). The weird thing is that even after disconnecting them, I can only boot if I disable SMART check in bios. So, it seems that my mobo thinks that one of my HD/SSD disks are faulty. I do remember seeing a "error" message before for one of the disks that I "acknowleged" in Unraid. This could be the issue. Not sure what I can do though. I don't think the dailure was real and SMART tests complete without errors. Maybe this acknoledgements isn't visible in my bios, causing such issue?

One more thought: What confuses me is that it actually initially starts to boot UNRAID. Otherwise, it wouldn't even get to this error message?

Thanks. Are you implying that this may be related to the server not starting unless I disable the SMART check in bios? It used to work in this port. Also tried others with same issue. I don't have a Windows PC to try, but I checked on Mac. Disk utility shows no issue. The disk is called UNRAID. What else to try?

Initially I got a boot message saying that my HD/SSD is about to die. I only could start the server after disabling SMART in my bios. This gets me a bit further, but still seeing a new error message now: "waiting up to 30 sec for device with label UNRAID - not found". Assume my Unraid usb is faulty? How to set it up from scratch? Or any other thoughts what could be wrong?

Any more thoughts and help. I have bind the NVME disk. But when I pass it through (click the button) to the VM, the VM no longer starts. In fact, it doesn't work even if I untick the NVME. I then have to fuilly set up a new VM from scratch. Then it works (but without the NVME passed through). Any idea what else I can do to pass through the NVME as secondary disk to the VM? Or is my only solution to create another image instead of a direct passthrough?

I have set up everything again from scratch (new VM, newly set up Unraid). Unfortunately, still facing the same issue 😞 I have bind the GPU as well as the NVME disk in system devices. I restarted Unraid. I have passed through the NVME and added it under "other PCI" (ticked in VM settings). Unfortunately, this still gives me the error message below: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: qxl_send_events: spice-server bug: guest stopped, ignoring 2023-03-[removed] qemu-system-x86_64: -device {"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0000:06:00.0","id":"hostdev0","bus":"pci.5","addr":"0x0"}: vfio 0000:06:00.0: failed to add PCI capability 0x11[0x50]@0xb0: table & pba overlap, or they don't fit in BARs, or don't align After unselecting the NVME disk from "other PCI", the VM stops working completely. I need to set it up agai from scratch to get it working again. Any more thoughts for me?

I connected the server to a screen and found out it was GPT header corruption. Eventually got it somehow fixed in the Bios. All good again now. Thanks for your help!

Got it. I think I made some progress in the Bios. I created a drive group with one disk and then created a virtual disk with the same name. This disk now shows up in Unraid. It seems though that the disk is no longer formatted. It was formatted before, so seems it wiped this when adding in the Megaraid bios? I have some other disks with data that I'd like to add. Assume this wouldn't work and it would delete all data on the disk? Any way to add a disk without wiping data?

Thanks! What's HBA?

I am in Bios now. The disks show up. But I struggle to configure it correctly. Any suggestion how to configure it to pass through 8 disks. I am in the Bios now, but it seems asking me to build drive groups / arrays / etc. I just want to pass through the 8 disks to Unraid.

I am doing it through Bios now. Does this mean that this enclosure does not allow me to swap disks? Everytime I add / change a disk, I will need to go to Bios to set it up? That's quite disappointing. I don't plan to use any raid feature, but just use the controller to pass it through to Unraid.

So as long as I get into the bios to add them, I should be fine? So need to get a screen to connect and run bios as you suggest above? I won't be able to run Windows unless possible to do this within a Windows VM.

I have SATA disks in the enclosure. The enclosure has a display that shows them being identified. I placed them into slots 1, 7 and 8. It also identifies that both cables are connected.

Then it is the right one. Any other idea what I can try to troubleshoot?
