  1. Yes I think its a z170 problem not just Asrock problem.Hopefully a bios update can address this although asrock just say that it is because skylake only put into linux kernal from 4.3 However the problem had been reported on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105491 and that was with kernal 4.3.0 rc4 I am happy with how my system is now with unraid, but I didnt except so many problems going to skylake. Some of the problems are here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=46141.msg441036#msg441036 I think maybe we should post some topics for each motherboard chipset where we can post problems we have had for various issues to help others with the same hardware or others who are thinking of buying the same. We should do the same with gpu types. Just to try and get the info in some logical order
  2. I have alot of vms on my unraid. 21 at last count. Some are just duplicates of the same vm with different xml (ie one for gpu passthrough with usb passtgrough and one for just vnc). Sometimes i start the wrong one in error. I would like to be able to pin my favourite or most used vms to the top of the vm list and/or onto the dashboard. This would make using my vms much easier. Thanks
  3. I added it to my go file which wil run it as soon as unraid boots goto your flash drive then in the folder config you will see a file called go. You need to edit this file and add the line #disable gpe for bios acpi error echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe6F the part #disable gpe for bios api error is just to name what the line does and isnt actually necessary
  4. unfortunately this is an issue that effects nvidea cards. When in the primary pcie slot they dont passthrough unless you have unraid output on an onboard gpu. If you changed your gt9500 to an amd gpu on the primary slot it "should"work together with the gtx970 in the secondary slot. (also i dont know if you would ever get a gt9500 to passthrough anyway as its quite an old card (2008). I may be wrong though)
  5. yes it is possible to passthrough all gpus and run unraid headless. Just telnet or ssh into unraid. The exception if you have intigrated onboard graphics it is not possible to pass that through at this time. Also if you have an nvidea gpu as your primary card (and no integrated graphics) then you may have problems passing it through.
  6. my motherboard has one, im not at the PC right now but im sure its an ASPEED AST2400 graphics, it has a vga connector anyway and works without a gpu. Make sure in the bios that your primary gpu is set as the intigrated graphics. On my board i have this setting you should have this or similar IGPU Multi-Monitor Select enable to keep the integrated graphics enabled at all times.

  8. make sure the partition type on the usb stick is masterboot record not gpt Just look at the manual for your board. I would plug the usb into the usb ports on left above the ps2 keyboard mouse socket as they are usb 2.0 contoller not 3.0 and some boards have trouble booting from a usb 3.0 set first boot option 1 sandisk fastboot disabled windows 8 other os USB Support Disabled All USB devices are disabled before the OS boot process completes. Full Initial All USB devices are functional in the operating system and during the POST. *******use this setting******** Partial Initial Part of the USB devices are disabled before the OS boot process completes Boot Mode Selection Allows you to select which type of operating system to boot. UEFI and Legacy Allows booting from operating systems that support legacy option ROM or UEFI option ROM. (Default) *****************make sure this is set******** Legacy Only Allows booting from operating systems that only support legacy Option ROM. UEFI Only Allows booting from operating systems that only support UEFI Option ROM. Other than that all i can suggest is to try a different usb stick.
  9. Make sure the name of flashdrive is set to UNRAID else it will not boot aswell.
  10. If you have problems with windows vms getting corrupted and not starting then make a vm with 2 drives. A small say 30 gig partition for the os then a larger one for your programmes and games. Then just backup the primary os drive. If the vm for some reason doesnt start in the future you can then just repace the small vdisk image with the backup and all is good.
  11. Yes its installed in the vdisk image. If the os isnt starting and you need to access the info on it, you can make a new vm with a different vdisk then add the old image as a second hd. 1. rename the corrupt os vdisk to vdiskold or similar to make it easier. 2. Then when you have the new vm working you can attach the vdiskold as a second harddrive. You do this by pressing the plus sign next to primary harddrive then add the location of the image. (vdiskold) 3. Then you can start the vm and you will be able to access that disk from my computer and get to that data.
  12. Hi . I am thinking of upgrading my amd r7 370 gpu to an nvidea gtx970. I am happy with my system and game performance. However i want to use an nvidea so i can stream games full screen to another pc/ tablet using splashtop desktop. My amd has to be windowed when streaming games but nvidea will stream full screen........This is all so my daughter can play sims 4 on her laptop!!! But before I make my mind up i was hoping for some advise on the following. 1. I know that nvidea gpus require the disable hyper v setting. I thought the the hyper v helps with the speed of the vm. So will using an nvidea card with disabled hyper v effect my vm in a negative way at all? 2. Also why do nvidea cards require this setting yet amd dont. I know this is because if the driver detects a hypervisor it gives error 43, but why do nvidea want to stop the cards being used in a vm. It cant be a bug else surely they would address this in a driver update 3. So Is the disabled hyper v only necessary for windows vms or does it apply to linux vms aswell? thanks
  13. I would think its your IOMMU Groups. When you have the 3 cards plugged in is anything else grouped in the same IOMMU group? Please post your IOMMU groups and your pci devices Have you tried the PCIe ACS Override setting?
  14. make sure your bios is not set to boot "uefi usb device" as the unraid usb will not boot from this mode.
  15. They are both types of motherboard. I believe q35 uses a PCI-E bus whereas the I440FX only supports a PCI
  16. Give splashtop desktop a try. Better performance than rdc
  17. Yes i will upgrade my license soon as i want to add some new drives anyway. I am happy with unraid and think its very good value. However when i had the problem i had only been using unraid for 2 weeks and thought it had gone wrong saying i needed to upgrade my license already when i had not added any harddrives. I just think it would be in the interest of limetech to change flash drives as a count to drives in the license, as people new to unraid may well be put off by this, thinking as i did it was an error. I see no reason for a usb flash drive to count as a licenced drive and is of no benefit to limetechs business model to have it as such.
  18. Usb hardrives are one thing and yes could be used in array. But I had an 8 gig flash drive attached which took me over my licence. I think flash drives shouldnt be counted. Yes it would have been fine if I didnt restart the server, but I needed to then I couldnt access my data on the array for a few days as I was away from home at the time. It was annoying to have my server disabled because I left a flash drive plugged in!!! But that said I love unraid its a great product, but really think it would be even better if this was fixed at some time
  19. for now ive removed this and building a new image right now Thanks for all your work you do for us Binhex. Much appreciated
  20. edit2: It seems my PIA password is getting changed in my credentials.conf file. Everytime I correct it and restart the docker the password gets changed and I get an AUTH FAIL.... My password aswell. It had an ! (in it ie password!) then in credentials.conf had / infront of ! (ie password/!) Changed my pia password on the site to not have ! and all is fine now
  21. I can understand Limetech having the drive limit for all drives wether in the array or not as its unraid that allows you to passthough the drives in the first place. But what is a bit annoying is i have the basic license with 6 disks of which i use 1 cache 4 in the array and one unassigned for vm. I passthough the usb controller to the vms so i can hotswap etc. I had a usb flash drive plugged into the vm. I was away from home with family and needed to restart the unraid server. When i did this i couldnt start the array as it saw the flash drive as an additional drive taking me over the drive limit. So i couldnt start the array until i came home and unplugged the flash drive. After starting the array i could plug it back in. I think this should be fixed so maybe usb devices are not included.
  22. wow jang430 looking at the screenshot of your gui your cache drive is hot at 54c
