thank you i will have a look after the 4th time of running deep analyser. What partition should i change it to when I find it?

Hi Everyone, I tried moving my disks to a computer that had an Adaptec 6405 adapter and after reading it would be okay I initialized 3 of my 4tb disks and added to JBOD. This seemed to have lost all of my data by corrupting the GPT partition. I am in the process of trying to recover my partitions with Testdisk but I am struggling to work out what partition to set it to after running the deeper search. I am pretty sure I know which is the partition to recover but there are a lot of options to select and I do not want to stuff anything up. It takes half a day to search so when I accidentally go back too far I have to rerun the test. Any help would be appreciated.

So what is the general consensus on how much overhead or performance we lose on the CPU compared to barebone. I have done some low resolution testing and it seems somewhere in the 30+% loss in vm. This is not usually noticed when gaming in higher resolution and detail but I am starting to notice cpu limitation in a few games. I have confirmed all of my settings are correct so I am sure that isn't the problem. Maybe one of the developers could give some insight into this?

I have tested barebone compared to the vm and found although 1080p gaming is quite good when i put the lowest resolution and detail to test the cpu i get at least 30% loss of performance witcher 3 i get 146fps in the vm and barebone i get 200fps but the video card is running at 100%. I expected 10% but i found in quite a few scenarios to lose around 30%. I have all the correct settings and tested many different configurations to have the same result. I am happy with the gaming performance but i feel the 2670 needs as much single threaded performance it can get and it appears to have more overhead than i expected.

I am getting a fair bit better performance on this new update i was starting to get some inconsistent performance which has been solved

Has anyone worked out how to get the unraid console to show the cpu frequency again in the load statistics? I had it in versions older then 23.

Hi Fresh did you sort your problem out? I have the same cpu's and motherboard and i have sorted all my speed issues out key points were 1. on the boot flash drive: isolate the cores you want to use for vm so unraid cannot use them 2. I actually found hyper threading lost me performance so i only assigned 4 cores per vm (i previously had 6 cores but it is running lower fps at 6 cores atm possibly didn't assign emulatorpin cpuset enough resources) 3. My machine gets higher fps with hyperv option on Flash Drive settings I added append isolcpus=1-14,17-30 initrd=/bzroot This isolates all my cores except "0-16" and "15-31" for unraid to use CPU Settings in xml <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='3'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='4'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='5'/> <emulatorpin cpuset='6-22'/> </cputune>

I play on an amd and find the performance is very good no issues at all. The pinning of cpu cores helped me and i need to run hyperv on for it to run well

Hi Guys i have been attempting overclocking with my AMD 290 video card and have noticed i get some serious locking up when the overclock fails. Maybe i assumed wrong but i didnt think the whole machine would freeze if the small overclock pushed the machine past it's limits. Is this expected behavior? i have been using msi afterburner

I had this issue as well its a big problem when it is using 40 % of 2 2670s just watching youtube. I also noticed cpu was under user and when you use gpu it goes to system. Not sure i noticed this before 6.2 beta

how did you fix the gui boot image missing?

Mine has been hanging when accessing the second disk which is a share on the array where the games are. It then causes the gui to hang so far a reboot is the only way for gui to come back

When i try to boot to the gui it tries and then gives me the boot selection again. It doesnt seem to spit out an error. Is there a way to open the gui after booting the normal unraid option

so have you guys with dual 2670 have you sorted out the cpu pinning yet? im getting unusual results when running multiple vm's

Hi Brit i tried your settings and i was getting very low performance what cpu's are you using?

They were in the same iommu group but I have not had an issue with this when the gpu's only had a single gpu per video card. 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor DRAM Controller (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor PCI Express Root Port (rev 09) 00:01.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor PCI Express Root Port (rev 09) 00:02.0 Display controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b5) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 5 (rev b5) 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 6 (rev b5) 00:1c.6 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 7 (rev b5) 00:1c.7 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 8 (rev b5) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Z68 Express Chipset Family LPC Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family 4 port SATA IDE Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family 2 port SATA IDE Controller (rev 05) 01:00.0 PCI bridge: PLX Technology, Inc.

Good evening everyone i am testing a dual gpu amd 5970 video card and i am having some issues. Unraid picks up the card as 2 separate gpu's i have added the primary as 03:00.0 and the secondary as 04:00.0 i have also passed the hdmi through from the 5970. The issue is the pc sits in the seabios boot menu and will not go further. I have removed the secondary gpu which gets me to the operating system but it rebooted the pc. I am running acs override and i have run the two virtual pc's previously each with it's own gpu I am hoping to use this card so any help would be appreciated. Thank you 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Hemlock [Radeon HD 5970] 03:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

surely there is an image around that we can just add to unraid rather then going through all these steps?

I did some quake 3 benchmarking baremetal: 280fps Vm: 255fps running two vm's at once vm:230fps

There's always this board that takes up to v2 CPUs. (still 10SATA ports, 6 are SATA3 and 4 are SATA2) http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XX9SRL-F.TRS0&_nkw=X9SRL-F&_sacat=0 Would it be a silly move to buy the other dual cpu board i posted earlier? I did want dual cpu but not if there are better options

This board seems good but expensive. I think dual 2670's would be awesome http://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131886

Thank you Jon i appreciate your reply i didn't mean to come across as impatient i originally thought the answer maybe a simple known setting buy i think it varies as you have mentioned. I will look into the reducing of cores i did try putting only 3 cores on each but games like battlefield 4 ran really bad i will try again though. On your processor what cores would you assign to the vm1 and vm2? I will also try the script to check cpu latency. I had noticed i got weird drops in performance which i was suspecting maybe not enough overhead for unraid to do it's thing

Hi Guys i guess the amount of views and no replies implies i am not the only one that is not sure what setting works best. I have played some more and found that setting the below gets the most constant fps in games. Also hyper v option seems to give a lot more fps as well VM1 = <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='4'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='6'/> VM2 = <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='1'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='5'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='3'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='7'/>

Hi Guys I have been looking around the forums and even did some testing my self and i could not find the 100% i am looking for. Is there a definitive answer which of the cpu pinning in the vm allocation is the actual core and which are the hyperthreaded cores? From my own benchmarks i seem to get better speed from the top row which are 0,1,2,3 then the bottom row. I am trying to get the gaming side sorted as i seem to be having some pretty serious cpu bottlenecking on my i7 3770. thank you in advanced. Ps. my setup is purely to be used for 2x gaming machines in the same case not interested in allocating cpu power to other apps in unraid.
