"Gaz" is an aussie thing

Thanks for all the great feedback guys ... I'm off to research some more!

I think this setup is going to be my next purchase Small, cool, lots of storage, low energy, quiet ... what's not to like? A couple of questions... 1) How's the performance if I wanted to run say (a) the usual containers for Plex, Sab, CP, Sonarr, etc + (b) 1 or 2 Windows VMs under Xen? Would the 8-core Atom be capable of handling all that (in addition to unraid of course)? Does it support the required vt-d for xen? 2) If I were to populate all 8 drive bays with data drives, would there be enough room to add my 2xcache ssds (2.5" drives) + 1 x parity drive (8TB seagate 3.5") into one of the internal bays (I understand they are 2.5" bays, but a slight case mod should allow me to squeeze in the 3.5")? Thanks!

I just wanted to say a big thanks for this ... I'm running 14b and I've installed all the unraid 6 plugins. Very nice interface/dashboard and very useful info that's displayed.

Is this only for unraid running as a vmware vm? Do I need this plugin for unraid 6.x running on real hardware and using say xen to run other vms?

You can not install the v5 versions of the plugins, these are not compatible with v6. See the OP for the v6 versions. Ahh ok, I had no idea they were v5.

I'm on the latest beta (b14), which includes the dynamix gui. However when I try to install one of the plugins from https://github.com/bergware/dynamix, I get an error saying the dynamix webgui plugin isn't installed... /usr/local/sbin/plugin install /boot/config/plugins-error/dynamix.active.streams-2.1.1-noarch-bergware.plg 2>&1 plugin: installing: /boot/config/plugins-error/dynamix.active.streams-2.1.1-noarch-bergware.plg plugin: creating: /tmp/plugin-startup - from INLINE content plugin: running: /tmp/plugin-startup missing Dynamix webGui plugin !!! plugin: run failed: /bin/bash retval: 1

Because post-read is verifying what was written is all zeros. Pre-read is not verifying, it is just sending the contents read to /dev/null as existing contents could be anything Is that a 3TB drive? Thanks - make sense. Yes that one is a Hitachi 3TB green drive running off the SATA port on the motherboard (Supermicro X8SIL-F).

Just got these final results from a preclear (as shown in MyMain)... Preclear Successful ... Total time 38:34:45 ... Pre-Read time 9:46:21 (85 MB/s) ... Zeroing time 9:53:09 (84 MB/s) ... Post-Read time 18:54:05 (44 MB/s) Why is the post-read slower than the pre-read? Just curious... thanks.
