If this is on a spinning disk in a parity protected array, that's the bulk of your problem. Put the disk image on the cache or on a disk via unassigned devices.

Like I said, I don't believe the issue is the setup in this case. You need to investigate the errors I listed.

what guide did you follow in creating the vm? 90% of initial windows vm issues are due to people "winging" it and not following a guide. But I do not believe that to be the problem in this case. you have this error: 2017-05-21 21:12:28.978+0000: 12072: error : x86FeatureInData:780 : internal error: unknown CPU feature __kvm_hv_spinlocks 2017-05-21 21:12:28.978+0000: 12072: error : x86FeatureInData:780 : internal error: unknown CPU feature __kvm_hv_vendor_id which may be attributable to May 21 20:48:49 Tower kernel: TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: May 21 20:48:49 Tower kernel: Measured 14831673997 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.

no, THANK YOU. I feel that for about 1/4-1/3 of my posts on here, I end up sending people a link to one of your vids. So much easier than explaining it myself (or when I don't know how to do it myself!)

solid.

so, am I S.O.L. on these zfs drives?

So, on a pair of zfs discs, preclear won't run. Just stays at "starting." Tried reformatting, deleting, etc... tried to search for a solution, but didn't see anything.

Not all usb 3 controllers work in OS X. Easier to passthrough a known working card to the vm.

This should be posted on page one large bold rainbow colored letters as "the thing you need to know to make the openvpn client work in unRaid.

I use to do this before I sold my synology box. Your permissions aren't right either on the synology or on unRaid. Check both.

No, no hardware. I don't have anything old enough! But running some games has been fun. I've been tempted to find games I use to play years ago....

I did this for no other reason than to do it. thanks!

suggestion: don't use vnc. Use either splashtop or team viewer. If you don't need audio, stick with mac screen share.

if you installed the smc patch for 10.12.4, then you need to remove <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'/> from your xml.

maybe that is because of the extra space?

good to hear! I'm hoping that LimeTech incorporates an easier way to do syslinux modifications in the future.

this is my usb card xml <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x17' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> </hostdev> but in order to pass through the card you have to make unRaid ignore it via modifying the syslinux.cfg append vfio-pci.ids=1b73:1100 initrd=/bzroot 1b73:1100 is the id of my usb 3 card, which shows up as 17:00.0 USB controller [0c03]: Fresco Logic FL1100 USB 3.0 Host Controller [1b73:1100] (rev 10) This entire card is passed through to a vm and is hot plug-able in the vm, like any other normal computer.

Just one of several ways I have things working.

that's a new one for me. try the following, but using your id's. If I remember correctly, this is how I did it a half a year ago before I just passed through an entire usb card: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'> <source> <vendor id='0x03f0'/> <product id='0x4217'/> </source> </hostdev>

The usb hub will be transparent to unRaid. You can either give the vm a usb device plugged into your board, passthrough a specific usb port on your board to a vm, use the hot plug plugin (i've never used it) or best option is passthrough a complete pcie usb card. If you don't isolate the pci card (stub it) from unRaid, then the system uses it as if it were onboard ports. I use both setups for audio: HDMI audio on one vm, and usb dongle audio on another.

I use one on one daily with zero issues.

there is also the usb to audio dongle option. 10 dollars. problem solved.

No dice on any output. Also won't connect via screen share. Makes it past the boot loader, then darkness...

interestingly, the gt 730 used the web drivers with no issues, but my gtx 760 refuses to use them and gives me a black screen unless I disable web drivers.... this on a clean install/upgrade and following the vid.... any thoughts?
