Change your libvirt,img path I had the same problem, moved libvirt, now I can see the VM tab and the Libvirt volume info appeared in VM Manager

Thanks, unfortunately I'm on a budget though due to the baby (unless I sell a kidney, hehe). I was under the impression it's easy to add drives to unraid, is that not the case? Forgot to add: Current usage: Everything on the NAS and client PCs is used 'lightly', ie. it's mainly storage that's occasionally accessed - I occasionally transcode videos that won't play properly on my laptops but I need a NAS or server do this. Clients: I have a Blackberry Playbook repurposed as a photoframe, and my partner and I sometimes use a heavy HP 15" Windows 7 laptop for via wi-fi, I backup docs from this to the NAS. Eventually I want this gone and replaced with a (chrome/android?) tablet w. keyboard & mouse for RDP'ing to a Windows VM. I already have a Kindle and a Win10 work laptop, hence the need for a VM. DLNA clients: I use several Humax freesat boxes and a Samsung smart TV, although the Humax's can't play everything. Will the unraid transcode videos in real-time or would it need Plex installed first? My programs: Is there any performance benefit in installing my Windows software on an Unraid share for the Win10 VM, does this data travel via a virtual switch? I've seen other members mention they use this but I didn't find any benchmarks. I noticed an SSD is preferred as a cache, but i'm not sure if my 60GB OCZ's a big enough for this..? Finally, you may have noticed I haven't mentioned the i5 tower being used at all, which is correct... I stopped using it several years ago (shortly after upgrading from the workhorse Core2Duo E8500 / nvidia 9600GT that I still have sat in their motherboard). I USED to use it heavily and this is all why I'd like to use it for Unraid, there's lots of work lined-up for it! Sorry for the long read!

For me I find MediaMonkey is the best tool as it's easy for adding mp3 tags, albumart, etc. It fixed my music order/sorting issue on my Blackberry too - I used it to combine album discs into single folders, list them by track number (tag) then add the track number as a filename prefix on each track, fixing the list issue.

Hi all, Thought I'd better introduce myself after lurking around here for the past few days, and download my thoughts on what I plan to do with unraid! I'm still trying to find the time to build and use unraid (due to a baby and the run up to xmas. In the meantime I'm trying to see if it's up to the task of replacing my QNAP TS-110 NAS which uses a single 1TB WD green drive. Currently the QNAP is used for: Storage of movies, TV shows, music, photos, recorded video clips, documents Streaming of most of the above Slideshow for photos Storage of software installers, ISOs Virus scanner Torrent client Personal blog (not currently updated) All of this is backed-up via esata to an ICYBOX disk enclosure to an identical 1TB WD green drive. Planned destination Unraid server: Lian Li PC-B25B full tower case i5-4440 MSI H87M-E33 micro ATX board with 4K HDMI, DVI Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Sapphire R7 250 2GB with boost, HDMI, 2x DVI 1 1TB WD green drive, several 250GB Seagate drives, a 250GB Seagate Momentus XT hybrid drive, OCZ Core II 60GB SSD, OCZ Agility 1 Windows 10 VM, 1 Linux MINT VM (or other Steam-capable 'nix OS) What are everyones thoughts - can I migrate everything I use from the QNAP to the unraid, plus run 2 VMs (albeit not at the same time until I replace the board with dual PCIE x16)?? Thanks

Is there a way to get around the 1 VM per video card restriction? Hyper-V doesn't have this - see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/16652.remotefx-vgpu-setup-and-configuration-guide-for-windows-server-2012.aspx I have a MSI H87M-E33 mainboard with a single PCI-E x16 slot, i5-4440, Sapphire R7 250 2G with boost Thanks
