I have a Windows 7 VM in unraid that I would like to use in an Synology NAS (DS1819+). Is there a way to convert the UNRAID VM to Synology VM? Any help in getting it converted and running on the Synology NAS is appreciated. Cheers

Works! U Rock!

thanks for your help!

Thanks for the quick reply, but I am not sure I get how this works. i'm a bit slow So are you saying you create a new user share called "cacheShare"? Where are you creating this smb config? I have Disk Shares enabled. Should I turn that off?

Background: I have me cache drive as RAID 0 for max speed. I want to make sure the content is being copied onto the array as quickly as possible as a backup, in case the one of the cache drive fails. Any ideas on how I could achieve this? Is there already a plugin that could help? Basically make sure that any new or updated files get copied over every 5 seconds (or X time). If there is a different approach to my setup that gets the same result, I'm all ears.

Hey, any chance you can do this "custom smb config that targets /mnt/cache directly" thingy? Thanks

Finally figured this one out. Because I modified the file after reading it. So that makes sense. The problem is because it has the name "creation/modified" it sounds counter intuitive.

I have my UnRaid on reverse time 😋... actually was wondering about that myself. Strange, just launched the console from the Unraid menu, typed "stat" and it worked.

I tried "stat" and it works. Could that be used?

@hugenbdd, great running start! Installed. I would like to ask for an additional feature/field: - Move files off cache based on age of the last time the file was accessed. My use case is based on the fact that I have a lot of old files that are commonly used. Thanks for your consideration.

Cool build, but I'm curious why you went with so many cores?

@SpaceInvaderOne Followed your XML and it works, but... from xp (192.168.122.36) I can see the whole network and the internet from Unraid server (192.168.1.43) I can see xp and everything else BUT from a Windows 10 VM (192.168.1.80) I CANNOT see xp. I check the routing table, but it looks ok, any thoughts? Routing Table Protocol Route Gateway Metric IPv4 default 192.168.1.254 via br0 213 IPv4 172.17.0.0/16 docker 01 IPv4 192.168.1.0/24 br0 213 IPv4 192.168.122.0/24 virbr0 1

After doing setting to YES now I have a working TimeMachine working Disk Share. Thanks for your help. How do I mark this as solved?

Ooops, typo. Meant to say the new disk is being cleared. The reason I need a Disk Share is because I want to use the Disk as a Time Machine backup drive (as per https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/61115-apple-time-machine-and-unraid-6x-updated-setup-instructions-for-macos-high-sierra/). Not saying you are wrong, but your statement regarding "Auto" setting seems to contradict the help in the Setting page... pasted below... But I'll take your advice and set it to Yes, just in case. ----------------------------- Enable disk shares: NoYesAuto

So for some reason I cant find a instructions on how to create d "Disk Share". I just added a new disk to the array, and it is not being cleared. Is there something I need to do to make this a Disk Share instead of a User Share? My Global Share settings->Enable disk shares: is set to Auto. Thanks

Please help! I'm close but yet so far Installed as per video: The Newest, Easiest and Best way to install OSX Sierra on KVM with unRAID All working, but I installed Mavericks instead of Sierra, as theSoftware my gf uses (Vectorworks 2014) does not work on Sierra. Then added a NVidia GTX 960 4Gb using this Video: Advanced OSX VM techniques for KVM in unRAID. Get everything working! Here I am not sure what to do 6:55 in the video talks about how in Sierra we no longer use Boot>nvidia_drv=1, but instead use check both System Parameters>Inject System ID and NVidiaWeb. I tried both but neither solves the problems I have: 1 When I first tried to install the WebDrivers, would not install with Error "Computer not supported Error". Solved using this help. 2 After solving 1, was able to install/reboot, and boot process shows on the Monitor connected to the GTX 960. But after the initial grey Apple boot screen with the little spinning "clock", it just resets into this same endless loop. Did try to change cpu to core2duo instead on penryn, but did not help. Hope this XML might include some hint: EDIT: I went ahead and tried installing Sierra, and got everything working including GTX 960 and a PCIe USB controller. Unfortunately Vectorworks 2014 is a not working at all... so still trying Mavericks with no luck so far. :-(

I think you are correct. As a matter of fact, I do have a 2nd boot disk for running Windows. I can get the firmware changed in Windows and my Speeds go up as expected. But I have to do that every reboot.

Anyone with any ideas? Still trying to get this done. Found out how to do it on Ubunto: https://askubuntu.com/questions/545925/how-to-update-intel-microcode-properly

@tdallen the microcode I want to load is not an official one. It is to take advantage of an Xeon bug that allows turbo on all cores. Tried it from Windows and my cores go from 2.3 GHz to 2.8 GHz. reference: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/what-controls-turbo-core-in-xeons.2496647/page-60#post-39085522

I have a microcode.dat file that I want to load to my Xeon E5-2699v3 CPUs. How can I do this on unRAID? Thanks

Ok. thanks for the advice.... definately not worth risking things just to listent to my music collection, or too lazy to re download some drivers

My unraid 6.4 works great and no issues at all. But sometimes I need to powerdown unraid and restart the system into native Windows 10 64-bit. Is there a way to read the contents or map to the unraid drives under windows? I do not need to have write access, but if it is possible even better, but I do not want to risk to srew up the unraid disks. thanks

I'll be dammed! I just checked. It is indeed 10 Gbps! Thanks guys.

My unRAID system is running on a motherboard with 1Gbs NICS. What I am wondering is if VMs can be configured so that between VMs they communicate at 10Gbs speed? If so, what is the procedure to enable this? Thanks

Thanks so much for the advice... will have to remove the SSDs from the array ... looks complicated. The reason I did not do unassigned before was 2 fold: - did not realize the performance hit - multiple drives, meaning I have to manage the directories across 2 separate mount point? Anything I can do to change this?
