  1. Thanks a lot for these great dockers, I'm using quite a few of these! Just wondering if there's a way to avoid the initial dialog in the jDownloader, Boinc and Dolphin one? So I can get directly to the UI Thanks!
  2. Umm I don't think Apple would do that, but in any case the thing is that the Time Machine backups use AFP so I have no choice here Thanks! https://www.afp548.com/2013/06/11/smb2-and-you-saying-goodbye-to-afp-in-os-x-mavericks/ Weird as Time Machine still uses AFP
  3. Thanks a lot for your quick reply! Hopefully someone else (*cough* @jonp *cough*) knows what's going on with the AFP protocol. It works really bad. Even Samba works much better! Isn't AFP depreciated in general though? Apple shifted to supporting SMB2 in Maverick. Umm I don't think Apple would do that, but in any case the thing is that the Time Machine backups use AFP so I have no choice here Thanks!

  5. Hello, I've been trying more stuff with the OS X VM. So far it works quite good, there's still some things as I mentioned that doesn't seem to work like iMessage, etc. This seems to be easily fixed by using Clover (I guess using UEFI it's less hack-ish than BIOS) but I couldn't install it for now. On the other side, I was able to passthrough USB devices alone without passing through the whole USB controller and it worked just fine, even leaving the line: <key>PCIRootUID</key> <string>1</string> in the org.chameleon.boot.plist Also App Store works just fine, I can download or buy apps without problems. Would love to know if someone was able to install El Capitan and Clover and how is the process or at least through some light into what direction to follow. Have anyone tried creating a new OVFM VM and create a bootable USB with Unibeast (as you would do if you're going to install it on a native PC "Mackintosh") and see what happens?
  6. Hello guys, It's been an amazing RAID this last week (see what I did there?). I'm truly loving almost everything about unRAID but I've found some problems that I'm having a hard time fixing it. I've been taking notes of weird things, errors, bugs or whatever I found so I'm able to write this post as well documented as possible. You can see my unRAID and build details in my signature. 1. When updating a docker for example, If I open another tab with unRAID dashboard it won’t load… it seems until the docker install/update finishes I'm not able to do anything else. Is this expected behaviour? 2. Performance/reliability with AFS is really really bad. It takes a lot of seconds (30-40) to connect to unRAID AFP shares from my mac and a lot of seconds to load a list of a 10-20 text files. I don't even have thumbnails enabled. I'm also unable to complete a Time Machine backup. I've made a "Backup" share with the following options (note that I've created a "jonatan" user to see if this would fix the problem, also tried with public setting and no luck) I can select the drive on my Time Machine preferences and start the backup, but the speeds are ridiculously slow (in KB) and it seems to go in and out. After 48hours my iMac was done with just half the backup (230gb of 450gb) and then just throw me an error. Sadly I forgot to take a screenshot but it was saying something like "To improve reliability Time machine needs to create a new backup" I've tried searching on the forum and I've found a lot of people with this problem, but no couldn't find any solution. Sometimes when starting a new backup it will do it relatively quickly but after a few minutes it will speed down to ridiculously slow speeds, be like that for days and then... error. 3. I'm getting these errors through console. Is it normal? can I do something to fix? Thanks a lot!
  7. Maybe it could be tested by isolating 1 or 2 cores and assign them only to the emulatorpin and see how much usage the VM does?
  8. On the internetz https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/X99A/HelpDesk_Manual/
  9. I remember also the user gridrunner saying that he was getting better performance when not pinning them in HT pairs
  10. Hi GridRunner. For the benefit of myself and others not familiar with cpupinning, can you explain this part. I thought you could basically just put unraid on core 0,6 (physical core 1) and then dedicate any remaining cores to virtual machines. What is the function of having a dedicated core and hyper thread for emulatorpin? You might want to read this excellent post that explains it very well http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=49051.0
  11. Yes. But only emulatorpin on latency sensitive VMs. Normally the cpus assigned to the VM are also used for emulator tasks. It's only necessary when a VM suffers from latency issues (pausing, stuttering, etc) when serving media or gaming. Don't get carried away with assigning cpus. You don't normally need to do any special cpu assigning or isolating cpus. I also notice a lot of people assigning more than 4 cpus to VMs. I see no reason that any VM needs that kind of horsepower. I've also read that assigning more than 4 can also cause problems. If you are seeing latency issues, don't think that assigning more cpus will solve the problem. The issue is more with assignment of the cpus. Thanks a lot for the reply!
  12. Sorry to interrupt you guys, but I've got a question in case you tested it. @dlandon: how much usage the emulator requires (emulator pin cores)? would it be fine if I share the same cores for Plex transcoder and for the emulatorpin of my VMs?
  13. Yep, I've configured unRaid to spin down the disks if they don't have I/O access for more than 15 minutes. If you will run dockers on the cache as I do then when using Plex it will start only the disk that contains the file you want to watch. It's pretty neat!
  14. Haha, no no... the circuit part is on the bottom of the disk so it's not touching it.
  15. Got the beast working since Thursday but forgot to add new pics. As you can see, no case for now. I've been running lots of stability tests plus moving data from old NAS and setting up all services, configuration, etc on unRAID Also check this view, love seeing sooooo many cores
  16. Tried using Multibeast to install Clover Legacy, no luck either. I'm really wondering how people installed Clover on El Capitan
  17. Hello gridrunner! I was able to successfully pass through the graphic card, my only problem is that I'm not able to install Clover
  18. Hello! Well I've got some news, mostly good ones. I was able to install El Capitan without problems following the guide, I've also received today the Radeon HD5770 and it works out of the box on OS X. For getting HDMI Audio I had to install HDMIAudio.dmg that pete provided. Hooooowever, there's some things that are not working. For example iMessage doesn't work, and it seems "some parts" of iCloud sync aren't either. I've found solutions for this but all are using Clover boot loader. I tried to follow the guide in page #4 of this thread to install it but I can't make it work: Here's the options I chose Here's the first warning saying that it's not made for this OS, but I downloaded the latest version And here's the error install Still, I continue to follow the guide in case the error was not a problem. Here you can see how the folder of my EFI Clover looks like. As the guide says I download the Clover configurator and followed the steps to save a new config.plist Then I removed the chameleon boot loader from the XML (removed only this line) <kernel>/mnt/cache/vm_images/enoch_rev2795_boot</kernel> So my XML looked like this <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'> <name>OSX-El-Capitan-10.11-VNC</name> <uuid>0ba39646-7ba1-4d41-9602-e2968b2fe36d</uuid> <metadata> <type>None</type> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>12582912</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>12582912</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>18</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='1'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='3'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='4'/> <vcpupin vcpu='4' cpuset='5'/> <vcpupin vcpu='5' cpuset='6'/> <vcpupin vcpu='6' cpuset='7'/> <vcpupin vcpu='7' cpuset='9'/> <vcpupin vcpu='8' cpuset='10'/> <vcpupin vcpu='9' cpuset='11'/> <vcpupin vcpu='10' cpuset='12'/> <vcpupin vcpu='11' cpuset='13'/> <vcpupin vcpu='12' cpuset='14'/> <vcpupin vcpu='13' cpuset='15'/> <vcpupin vcpu='14' cpuset='16'/> <vcpupin vcpu='15' cpuset='17'/> <vcpupin vcpu='16' cpuset='18'/> <vcpupin vcpu='17' cpuset='19'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.3'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> <bootmenu enable='yes'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> </features> <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> <model fallback='allow'>core2duo</model> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/cache/vdisks/Elcapitan/Elcapitan.img'/> <target dev='hda' bus='sata'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='sata' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pcie-root'/> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1e' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pci-bridge'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:00:20:30'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='e1000-82545em'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <memballoon model='none'/> </devices> <seclabel type='none' model='none'/> <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=2,chassis=1,id=root.1'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=03:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=03:00.1,bus=pcie.0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-kbd'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-mouse'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=redacted'/> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='type=2'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain> BUT, when booting the VM the boot loader is not loaded, it get stuck in the BIOS screen saying "Booting from Hard Disk" (but it never find it) Anyone have got ideas on what I'm doing wrong here? I'm using unRAID 6.1.9 Thanks a lot for this guide, I've been testing the VM and I think I will be perfectly capable to work on it. Note that I haven't optimised it with isocpu, etc. HD performance is not that awesome, but I guess with unRAID 6.2 and the new QEMU version + maybe an entire passthrough of a PCIe NVME SSD the performance could be ridiculously fast!
  19. Hello, Thanks a lot for this plugin. I'm getting a console warning/error. Not sure what it is but here's an screenshot in case it helps in any way. Please let me know if you need more info, I'm using unRAID stable version 6.1.9
  20. Thats awesome! I just checked them out. How long was shipping for you? Aprox. one week. CPU came well protected and no problem so far
  21. I have recently bought the new E5-2698v4 (ES) from eBay seller xtrememicro. Everything is running smoothly for now. Hope it helps
  22. Would love to know how the 1080 performs on the VMs! thanks
  23. I bought on eBay a super cheap Radeon 5770 to start testing the VM. As soon as I get it will report back in case it helps anyone!
