Just got my power meter from Amazon today. Took some quick readings. Honestly surprised by the numbers I was betting on twice as much over all. Makes me wonder what my old 3930K power draw was, I would test but a friend is using it so that's out. Also just got a new-to-me replacement HBA from @TUMS, also discovered TUMS and I are about an hour apart. I'm still floored, honestly how many unRAID users could there be in Idaho? That's like being 1-step away, on Seven steps to Kevin Bacon. I haven't installed the card yet. it's my Friday, I finished work, and I refuse to do my job, even in the name of geek-dum , on a Friday evening. Power plug and a reboot yes, card swap even so trivial nah.

If it were me, I would try the Windows10 template, if the .iso supports efi boot. If the .iso doesn't have an EFI boot loader I would try the Win7 template. Or the one of the linux templates. If you're unsure about the loader, you could try to make a vm using a template, and delete entry of the primary drive (none - selection), then point install-boot disk to your ISO file and then fire it up, if it boots off the ISO, good start. Shut it down, go back into template settings and add a HD; if it fails to boot the ISO then just nuke the vm you made, and try a different template until you find one that works best for you. Edit: Able to successfully boot off the ISO using the Windows7 template; installing it now, so far no errors. Just wanted to give the heads up. Edit 2: Doing first boot, post-install, now. What you want: Windows 7 template. Change the default "Primary vDisk Bus:" for the vdisk from VirtIO to SATA. EVE-NG installer gave a fit trying to do the partition (default), where sata whiz right by. From here it seem's to be eve-ng in a VM text book. Good luck.

I'd say it should be do-able. Threadripper GPU pass-through is basiclly, functioning for most, multiple GPU vm pass-through still seems to have a few kinks in the line; but personally I think things are moving along nicely; then again I'm not building anything for mission critical work with unRAID either. Also for the clerical systems if you're going to do GPU pass through you should be able to get away with GPU 8x (PCIe 3.0 +specification) bandwidth; so you don't necessarily need need to have all of TR's lanes (this was something I learned a few weeks myself). Source For RAM, maybe something like 8GB, 8GB, and 16GB on provisioning, or scaled similarly, plus say another 2-8 GB for unRAID host to have.

Thanks for the video I'll have to check it out. Actually got Arch installed a day or two after my post some quarky bits efi partition -- I was trying to do 1MB minium, but thanks to the 10K sectors I was getting not enough space, so it got a stupid amount of space and it worked. Have fun with Aviation that sounds more interesting than my work. Good day.

Nothing scares me more then others thinking I know what I'm doing - especially seeing how I still see myself as newbish in Linux (and the finer bits of unRAID) . Personally I think the share layout is personal preference, versus "a best way." After all user shares makes for all sorts of drive/data organization, but I can understand not falling into the trap of, *8 months down the line* "Well crap my layout sucked, and I'm out of space to move data around." I'd bet you can find the dimensions somewhere online, then just grab a rule and do some, "napkin-math." You have a nice one too.

And here I thought, unRAID made Linux accessible to the masses. Well other distros have done this, but unRAID is by far my favorite. Thank you gridrunner for your videos. I used your extracting video card rom instructions when I upgraded to my 1070 - that thread resolved many questions I had. Edit: Had a chance to watch. Nice work, even learned some things. Thank you for your time and efforts.

I use this all the time for work, R-Studio, getting conflicting signals about XFS support (the version we have only supports ext2/3), one mirror claimed it would support BTRFS and XFS, their website does not, but there is a forum post (on their page) from 2011 of a customer asking about XFS and company replied they were working on it ... so give it a look over. R-TT may not be in your, "cheap" category but I've seen past versions on Torrent indexers, so that's your choice/call. there was any zero'ing in the format R-TT won't be able to recover that. The more I look at R-TT site, the more I think it won't be the tool you want, can only look so much while I'm at work. Stellerphenox XFS Recovery tool $79 is looking like your best bet; co-worker has used other tools made by Stellar, so no worries about fake software or similar.

Sorry, file not found for me. Guessing it hasn't come up before. It's probably over kill, but may want to make a user share specifically for this purpose just to sandbox your files. I'd have to look up how xfs, samba, linux carries around Windows ACL (ie. can it be carried around in linux cp/mv commands). If you get this working I would be interested in your settings to play around with this. Assuming you haven't added the lines to your samba config, then yes I would say the error is normal because it can't apply the Windows ACLs (not supported). If you have added the samba lines, I'd guess something is amiss. If you get this going, I'd love a lesson on How to do this, or even just a URL with instructions if you're using that.

Last night I tried adding an HD6970 (only spare presently) and I think I got a similar error -- didn't record it, and then later removed card since it didn't work. But I think I had that error, I'll try to check it out after work (getting a CRC error on parity after moving cables anyhow, so that needs to be swapped). Way to stick with it. VM's are a tinker's dream-boat. Edit: (2/8 or 9) I do in fact have the same error. BIOS CSM was configured for (EFI with legacy support). When I set my boot to EFI only, and my security keys cleared to allow non-secured efi boot, this resulted in an error with syslinux boot loader. Switched to legacy mode, unRAID booted nominal, the error is gone in my second gpu vm-test, but still no video. I haven't tried to use this card before, in a virt hardware is KGB, so not a great test case. Also, based on my results, this makes me wonder if I have always been booting on the legacy side of boot loader? Or it doesn't matter from boot loader's pov? Attached are logs on error case. hydra-diagnostics-20180209-0020.zip Edit2 (2/10): Switched back to EFI with legacy support in BIOS, I'm finding my Windows 10 guest is crashing after leaving it idle for long periods of time (> 5-6 hour range) it happened twice, after changing the BIOS to legacy only mode, where prior the guest was solid during ugly patch era. I'm guessing there's a component, or variable(s), Windows wants from EFI BIOS that's just not getting it straight legacy mode. This makes sense to me, as WIndows on iron, only true bios Windows 10 systems I see at work are ones which have been upgraded from W7 and some W8. Based on observations, but inconclusive, bios firmware is still a bit half-bake (or micro-code? phasing out of my realm of expertise). Follow up: Changed my BIOS to EFI only; changed /boot/EFI- to /boot/EFI and I was able to boot into unRAID. In EFI only, my primary GPU was 800x600 in vm. Windows Device manager reported the GTX1070 with error 43 (problem with device) - driver not loaded, which accounts for the resolution symptom. In this state I checked the log for running VM and qemu had an entire page of same warning. In haste, I forgot to make a screen capture of the qemu warnings. I think @ryoko227 and I are seeing the same thing. Interesting bit is ryoko227 saw this on his secondary, I saw this in my primary (with EFI only); so I'm thinking this is rooted in current TR bios or micro code for EFI and UEFI, as Legacy and UEFI seems to be ok.

I am, I think Threadripper is about ironed out, and Ryzen is fast approaching. I'm on stable, just haven't updated the page. However, as I mentioned before, I haven't tried gpu #2 yet. Sorry my suggestion was of no help. Is your M.2 a PCIe,? If so perhaps it's listed under the pci devices and/or storage. If it is a sata-M.2 that is definitely odd behavior, considering it's listed entry on that sata page. Good luck sir.

Out of curiosity have you tried, for testing, removing your nvme and then testing the video on slots 1 and 2? I'll admit it looks separated and your motherboard user manual doesn't mention anything. However, I've seen these linked on other boards, and given your issue, this is my two-cents of diagnostics. I must admit I haven't tried to move my graphics cards around yet, still need to find a second card anyhow.

Well I've been noted that blue is equivalent to red; I run a 4TB blue. So from experience, it's been working fine for two years, so doubt you'll have a problem with red. Also, parity check will take about 13 hours on that drive, from my experience based on my own setup.

I knew the blue, red, and green were 5400rpm (with greens having idle-power down). I thought the blues had a better write over the red; seeing how blues are marketed to consumer desktops and reds to NAS devices. Never had a chance to test hypothesis, or actually go look at two drive specs closely.

Perhaps others would know better, or have benched it, but were you going to run either of those reds as parity? If so, I suspect you might want a 4TB blue or black for that, or at least I thought as much and went in that direction when I first started. For HD's I did about the same kind of idea you're doing. For PSU recommendations to save money: or same price point better efficiency unit Full disclosure, I sell this brand at the shop I work at, I could be considered biased.

Hmm, odd this was not the case for me, going from 6.4.1-rc to 6.4.1-stable. Edge case?

Got a setup process or anything? I would tinker around with the app.

I have one, they're okay -- they do work as advertised, but I wouldn't use it for FPS if you're serious your shooters (this holds true with all the streaming solutions you proposed - imo).

Niiicccee! I'm a fan ... of a fan. Fanception? Well their heatsinks really; just couldn't pass up such a horrible pun joke. They're big and bulky, but quiet and engineered/built well. My last two personal systems have Nocturas.

ICQ merged into AIM, at some past time, but yes that service has died. I don't know about MSN messenger; I think that got merged into Skype? Only when I'm at work, starring at my test-bench systems. I'm guessing these fields were left-overs from the migration of forums onto new system (but IDK). Not that I'm aware of.

When you wrote, "DNS port" did you mean web gui port for docker? If so, then it may be complaining about deployed host ports, and the fact that it's already in use. Which case you can click on, "show deplyed host ports ..." (near the bottom); look at everything your box is using; next go to conflicting Host port field and change it to a number your box isn't using. If you're changing a port that is used for a web gui then you'll also want to edit the webUI field. An example might be 8080, change it to 8081 (assuming it's not already in use) Your port issue won't be related to VMs; however it's plausible running the VMs could tax system such to perhaps lock up. As a diagnostic, you could run your unRAID box with all VMs down, for a period of time, normal to experienced lockups. If you lockup, you know the issue isn't part of the VM stuff, but if unRAID remains stable with your VMs down, that might be an area to look around: IE hardware conflict, bad hardware, driver issue, etc. And I'm assuming you've run memtest for a pass or three just to be sure memory is ok? (Then again you had that 10 day streak; but never hurts to double check) Also probably start with the advice from the guy with 10K posts, I just always look at things from general techsupport angles. I hope that helps.

I too didn't like it, eventually moved to it on my VM's because I need to learn more of it for my job, also some internal bits with VMs and Windows drivers actually work better in W10 versus Win8. FYI: You can install Windows 10 without a product key; you can use 98% of Windows 10 functionality without activating it - no time limit (did this for a while on some VMs); last if you have a retail or OEM product key of Windows 7 or 8 (which you haven't abused on 10 other systems already) you can use those keys to activate Windows 10 (might have to call their 800#, just can't use these product keys in the Installer phase). This is also bending, very badly, the spirit of Window licensing model.

Consider Arch. It's going to be a major pain in the arse so it won't be useful workstation, initially, BUT because everything is done manually it makes for a great learning lab on all the Linux system bits that other distros do for you. My Arch VM has been rage-quit, table-flip so many times over frustration, but every-other time I try I feel I pick up something more. Will note the Arch community is fairly hardcore, so you're in "RTFM land," for any basic level questions on setup/configuration. And no, I haven't successfully installed Arch yet, got close once or twice -- haven't figured out how setup the boot-loader yet.

I've hit this wall numerous times, first time back in '98. Still bashing my head against desk on Linux stuff, so I know how it goes. If it still peaks the fundamentals of your interests, perhaps running a Linux distro (Ubuntu, MInt, something similar) in Oracle's Virtualbox for Windows might be the thing, just so you can play with it from time to time in a sandbox, just keeping asking the question, "Okay, so how do I do X, or how does it break down into manageable pieces I can troubleshoot through?" Any how, good luck to you Sir.

You're not wrong, it just seemed like to me, you were future-casting, I figured it fit. I hear you on science project, then again I got my TR because I needed a hobby (so flaky=feature?), also I don't have anyone to tell me, "no, don't get that, spend it on me instead" (of the warm and squishy, and wallet evaporating sort).

"Oh she'll be Ryzen around the mountain when she Ryzens. She'll be Ryzen around the Mountain, she'll be Ryzen around the ...." Okay it's much longer then I remember it as a kid, when typing.
