I have tried a USB keyboard, USB mouse and the three USB thumb drives. Also the VM keeps crashing. It will blue screen then reboot. Once I remove the card from the VM it is stable.

Updated. Puts some odd space in. The "v 01)" text off to the right is actually on the second line.

Sorry about the paste..doesnt seem to like posting copied text from Putty.

No. Nothing happens when I plug a device into the card.

I have removed it. I deleted the entry from my Syslinux and restarted. default /syslinux/menu.c32 menu title Lime Technology, Inc. prompt 0 timeout 50 label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append pcie_acs_override=downstream vfio-pci.ids=8086:1521 initrd=/bzroot label unRAID OS GUI Mode kernel /bzimage append pcie_acs_override=downstream initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI) kernel /bzimage append pcie_acs_override=downstream initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label unRAID OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins) kernel /bzimage append pcie_acs_override=downstream initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui unraidsafemode label Memtest86+ kernel /memtest The vfio-pcs.ids entry is my four port ethernet card. Maybe unRAID isn't compatable with the PVU3-202I PCI express cards. The other options I have for PCI USB controllers are Shintaro, Skymaster, Sunix, Welland, or Vantec. Dont really want to buy another card and hope it works though.

It seems the card isnt functional via Linux. Nothing I plug into the card is detected when I run: for usb_ctrl in $(find /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb* -maxdepth 0 -type l); do pci_path="$(dirname "$(realpath "${usb_ctrl}")")"; echo "Bus $(cat "${usb_ctrl}/busnum") --> $(basename $pci_path) (IOMMU group $(basename $(realpath $pci_path/iommu_group)))"; lsusb -s "$(cat "${usb_ctrl}/busnum"):"; echo; done I have pulled the card out and put it into my Windows 10 machine and it works fine. Put it back into my unRAID machine and whilst the card is detected nothing happens when I plug a device into it.

I have tried it both ways and get the same response.

I thought that also. The card does have Windows drivers so I installed them. Still doesn't work though. Device Manager is reporting the card is working properly however when I plug a device in nothing happens.

I have enabled ACS override and the PCI USB controller is now in its own IOMMU group. I have edited my Syslinux config and added the device ID. After restarting my server, I was able to select the USB controller card in the VM GUI. The VM now boots fine and the controller card shows up under Windows Device Manager however nothing happens when I plug a device in. Device Manager reports the device is working correctly. The USB card is an Orico PVU3-202I

I have adjusted my syslinux config to read as follows: "default /syslinux/menu.c32 menu title Lime Technology, Inc. prompt 0 timeout 50 label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append vfio-pci.ids=8086:1521,1106:3483 initrd=/bzroot label unRAID OS GUI Mode kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label unRAID OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui unraidsafemode label Memtest86+ kernel /memtest" When I try to start the VM with the the USB controller selected in "Other PCI devices" I still receive the following error" "internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2017-04-18T01:05:05.332604Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6: vfio: error, group 1 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver.2017-04-18T01:05:05.332636Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6: vfio: failed to get group 12017-04-18T01:05:05.332647Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6: Device initialization failed" The PCI card I added is in IOMMU group 1, along with the PCI bridge. I have tried a different card and it also gets put into IOMMU group one.

So how do I isolate it so that it is?

Many thanks mate!

Ok. I shall fix it. Thanks.

I don't know. "pci-stub .ids=8086:1521" is my 4 port gigabit ethernet NIC. It seems to work with that space so I have no idea as to whether it should have it or not. Looking over other usage of pci-stub on these forums it always seems to have a space between the b and the period mark. I have no idea how you add multiple pci devices in the syslinux config so I preumed you just put multiple entries.

Picked up a PCI USB controller. I have forwarded it to the VM but it won't start. I am getting the following message: "internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2017-04-15T04:22:29.755497Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6: vfio: error, group 1 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver. 2017-04-15T04:22:29.755526Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6: vfio: failed to get group 1 2017-04-15T04:22:29.755536Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6: Device initialization failed" My Syslinux config is: default /syslinux/menu.c32 menu title Lime Technology, Inc. prompt 0 timeout 50 label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append vfio-pci.ids=1106:3483 pci-stub .ids=8086:1521 initrd=/bzroot label unRAID OS GUI Mode kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label unRAID OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui unraidsafemode label Memtest86+ kernel /memtest

I set it to "Only". Apparently it did not work however as I am getting the message "**** Share appdata set to cache-only, but files / folders exist on the array **** I have now changed it to "prefer". Why have "Only" and "Preferred" if "Preferred" is the what it should be set on?

Ok thanks. Changed now doesn't get reported.

G'day, I recently added Fix Common Problems. I am getting the message all the time that: "Default docker appdata location is not a cache-only share. If the appdata share is not set to be cache-only, then the mover program will cause your docker applications to become inoperable when it runs (6.1.x). Under 6.2, this setting should not affect the operation of the application, but it will definitely impact significantly the performance of the application. Fix it via appdata settings." When I click on the link, which takes me to the Share settings for appdata "Use cache disk" is selected as Yes. Is there something else I need to do?

Thankyou! Ill try that.

I followed John's instruction however only one port on the NIC comes through (igb0). Even when I selected PCIe ACS Override.

Sorry to revive an old thread. But how do I pass through a NIC with multiple ports? I followed John's original post and can get the NIC to pass through however I only see one port, the other three are not available.
