  1. http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=378044 The .exe works flawlessly not tried Linux script.
  2. I write to the array around that speed. (25mb/s) Chipset limitations i guess
  3. https://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/UnRAID_6/VM_Guest_Support#Upgrading_a_VM_to_Windows_10 Yes ONLY cpu0
  4. The only time i have seen my gtx980 show error in device manager is when it couldnt passthrough the card properly. supermicro bios option to prioritise IGP solved this issue and windows let me install current nVidia drivers no probs. The only way you can passthrough the GT610 when using Linux Mint is to configure the dumped rom file in the template? what options does the graphics passthrough menu in the Win10 template show? Iam reaching my experience limit here.
  5. according to the guide as you are upgrading you should only select cpu0. revert to your normal settings after update
  6. All is well after a painless clean install of my flash drive
  7. Has it given you the option to start installing windows 10? Via VNC So the Linux mint install VM is running with your GPU passed through? Or is that vnc?
  8. No not multi monitor. Your Intel CPU i3-6100 has iris 530. This MUST be the priority for boot device. One of two options, check your manual. Put HDMI into motherboard IO socket not gpu. Test monitor/TV signal. If it shows unRAID booting then it's working. Select you GT610 in VM template. Start VM. Swap HDMI cable to GPU socket. Check monitor/TV Careful don't touch HDMI plug to chassis metal. I blew a power supply doing that once :-(
  9. Enable the integrated graphics option on your motherboard BIOS IGP option. This way it can free up the GT610 for passthrough.
  10. I recently swapped my cache drive which held my libvirt image. I cant recreate a new one to startup VM manager. So far i have stopped VM manager, deleted non existent image from within the UI in VM manager. Enabled VM manager hoping it would create a libvirt image in my chosen location but its just looking for a file? docker.img`s created in my chosen location with no problems. hope someone can help me iam losing my mind
  11. I have been using my current build for just over a year. I originally had an i3 6100T (dualcore hyperthreaded ECC) Running dirextx modern games it struggled so i upgraded to the 1245v5 passing through x3 cores with threads. Gaming is a little CPU bound but i enjoy most of the games i have tried. Games like GTAV and Mafia III suffer with all the geometry calculations needed for the world environment. You may want to consider that a integrated GPU makes passing through a discrete GPU very easy for VM`s My honest opinion would be go the slightly cheaper route away from the C236 platform because the equivalent i7 6700K is the same chip less the ECC support(thx Intel) it also uses LESS watts than the e31245v5 and was cheaper when considering upgrades. I had to RMA this board because the bios corrupted after manual power cycle just killed it(never have i had that happen. ever) 2months to fix it aswell. I use a Raspberry Pi2 for my media so i dont transcode from the server. If you dont mind higher power consumption the E5 2670 sounds like a great build and ultimately cheaper with great performance. Seasonic is a great choice not sure you need that much wattage though. they are rated higher than they state in test articles i have read. Mine runs fine 450w with a gtx980 with 9 drives atm.
  12. i seem to have isolated my issue. I had to RMA this supermicro board. That took 2months! In that time i removed the cache drive because i wanted to buy a bigger one for when i received my board back. I never formatted the older drive which was my original cache drive. When the original is installed it is recognised as cache. ideal! Is there a proper procedure i should be following when removing a cache drive? So i can use another one.
  13. gubbgnutten suggested that in another thread i derailed regarding this issue. I have tried a few different browsers. nothing seems to stick. I have tried chrome,firefox,edge,chrome mobile and safari from mac osx thanks though
  14. I seem to have an ongoing issue with my cache drive not mounting when the system boots. The array comes online but not my cache drive. I must stop the array and add the cache manually. Once started all files /dockers/vm`s run as they all should. I decided to backup my appdata/dockers and delete the btrfs partition held on the cache drive. The drive was formatted and added as a cache drive. Reboot and the same issue. It makes no difference if i install the drive on the Rocketraid 640L or i use the motherboard sata port. Could someone take a look at the latest system log please? iam at a loss trying to fathom this out as i have not had this problem before. Thanks superserver-diagnostics-20170207-1745.zip
  15. Cheers guys It wasn't mounting before I installed UD. I use that for VM disk only. I have only a few dockers on there so I will try and diagnose the issue. I will use the mobo SATA port see if it works there like it always has before I added the hba card. I will create a new thread, I clogged this one enough
  16. Try using another web browser when adding the cache drive next time. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried chrome,firefox,edge i have also moved from Unraid 6.3.0rc9 to final stable 6.3.0. No automount for the cache drive. My unassigned device for my VM which is mounted from Unassigned Devices plugin (which is also on the raid controller) does mount when booting.
  17. Have i overlooked something in the instructions because my cache drive which is on the raid card doesn't auto mount when server restarts. I have to stop the array, add the cache drive and start the array. All works normal after manually mounting the drive.
  18. Thank you very much elkay14 this worked first time. Iam using Highpoint RocketRAID 640L (Gen2) 2015 onwards. Marvell 88SE9235 Iam not committing any drives to the array with this RAID card just yet only cache drives, if i have issues with this card/controller when i add drives to the array i will update. I almost RMA`d this card today not now
  19. £80 for a 525GB https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-MX300-Internal-Solid-Adapter/dp/B01IAGSD68/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480358252&sr=8-1&keywords=mx300
  20. You can save by buying 2133mhz ddr4 instead of 2400, that board doesn't support it with XMP profiles, you may over clock it. I wouldn't as gains a negligible imo. And considering UnRaid is a file server first and foremost keeping ram at stock seems like a sound idea. I prefer Intel nic over realtek but single nic is fine. Looks like a fun build. I would consider a different m-atx case which can take more 3.5" drives for future expansion. Don't forget about parity :-) Once the array is up and running you can read through the wealth of info here helping you get dockers up and running.
  21. Rocket raid 640l incoming, I will bench the crucial this weekend. We will see if the 4k sequential write/reads are similar. EDIT I have had to RMA my supermicro board as it seems the BIOS/UEFI has corrupted so i doubt the server will be online for a few weeks now Hope you get to the bottom of your issue
  22. Thats a entry level Sandisk SSD plus 240gb which win10 VM is running from. Its my cache drive also. Slower writes by way faster reads. I do have the exact same Crucial drive as yours, its currently used for games on my desktop. I may bench it from win10 VM see how it fairs against yours. EDIT Sorry i cant bench the crucial ATM as i have run out of sata ports until i buy an add on card.
  23. Your drive tests do not match anandtechs http://www.anandtech.com/show/8066/crucial-mx100-256gb-512gb-review/6 Did you test the drive while doing anything else with it? Tried Hyper-v Off? https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38814.0 "Conclusion From the tests I ran, the numbers show a better result with latest drivers and no hyper-v settings in the VM. If your primary interest is gaming performance, this is the recommended approach. That said, the Hyper-V extensions in Windows may impact performance in other areas which we are still researching. Disk write performance inside the VM seems to be one area of impact, but we are still experimenting with further tuning settings to see if we can improve this."
