Hi All, After a restart and removing a couple of old drives using instructions in the 6.x.x wiki. I noticed that I was receiving a new error. Call Traces found on your server. Wonder if anyone could help look at the attached diagnostics file. Thank you! tower-diagnostics-20170504-2212.zip

Hi All, I have a disk that appears to have failed. It has failed with Attribute error 187 reported uncorrected 2 raw items. However, at the time of failure this disc has 0 reported directories and 0 reported files. Total XFS size used is 33.8MB. I have two additional disks that are also empty. Is there any way that I can easily remove this one without causing a problem? Or do i need to replace it with another drive and rebuild. I have a 2 parity drive server. Thank you.

How does someone make sure that an unassigned device is being trimmed.

Thank you for the great videos. I have been trying to pass through the exact same USB card to my windows VM. However, it never shows up in "Other PCI Devices" Below are the steps I have tried: Confirmed that it is in its own IOMMU group (21) and shows RESET. Used the following string: vfio-pci.ids=1b73:1100 Added it to the flash drive syntax: append vfio-pci.ids=1b73:1100 pcie_acs_override=downstream initrd=/bzroot Note that unlike the tutorial mine has "pcie_acs_override=downstream" in it as well. Was not sure how to handle that. Assistance appricated!

SOLVED Thank you for the response. I was using the windows template correctly. However, I searched some more and found out that the Wiki page that I was using (http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/UnRAID_6/VM_Management) included the general steps. It wasn't specific to windows and didn't highlight the exact items to manually load with a fresh install. Using the following page highlighted the issue; http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/UnRAID_Manual_6#Installing_a_Windows_VM Next to try to setup GPU Passthrough. Cheers, Ben

Hello, I have been trying to install a new Window 10 VM with creators update. I downloaded the latest ISO (Win10_1703_English_x64.iso). from Microsoft. Downloaded the latest Virtio drivers (virtio-win-0.1.126-2.iso). I am using a share called "domains" for the virtual image with the cache with prefer. However, I keep getting the same problem "We couldn't find any drives". I have reviewed the wiki and various instructions from the forum. Would like some suggested actions. Below is my xml file. <domain type='kvm' id='8'> <name>Windows 10 Gaming VM</name> <uuid>7245f0b9-8f81-b4bc-5a77-08486449aba3</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="Windows 10" icon="windows.png" os="windows10"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='1'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.7'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/7245f0b9-8f81-b4bc-5a77-08486449aba3_VARS-pure-efi.fd</nvram> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> <vendor_id state='on' value='none'/> </hyperv> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/Windows 10 Gaming VM/vdisk1.img'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='virtio-disk2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/isos/Windows 10/Win10_1703_English_x64.iso'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <boot order='2'/> <alias name='ide0-0-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/isos/Windows 10/virtio-win-0.1.126-2.iso'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <alias name='ide0-0-1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='nec-xhci'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'> <alias name='pci.0'/> </controller> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <alias name='ide'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:17:96:2a'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/0'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-8-Windows 10 Gaming VM/org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='disconnected'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <alias name='input0'/> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input1'/> </input> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input2'/> </input> <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' websocket='5700' listen='0.0.0.0' keymap='en-us'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <alias name='balloon0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> <seclabel type='none' model='none'/> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac' relabel='yes'> <label>+0:+100</label> <imagelabel>+0:+100</imagelabel> </seclabel> </domain>

I just installed the plug-in it and will see if it makes a difference. The unraid install is under 2 weeks old and the cache is pretty empty. It has been like that from the start. Do you think it will improve results?

Hi All, I am seeing an issue where the cache pool consistently slows down from +100mb/s to under 30 Mb/s. I have an ssd pool consisting of two intel 120gb and one Samsung 840 240 ssd. I have tried many different large files and always see the same issue. Confirmed that thay are copied to the pool and that the pool is quite empty and no other large disk intensive activity is present. Looking for suggestions. Cheers

Good point. Since I have not setup the VM yet. I could follow the process set-out above and run the dockers on the Cache and the VM on the unassigned device. Since it is for gaming that would leave it as the only access activity for that device.

Which controller did you get?

Thank you everyone for the reply! I read the FAQ on removing a cache device and found the following description. Since I am running unraid 6.2 this seems like the easiest method. Am I incorrect? Would this let me change the size of the cache? -----------------------From the FAQ--------------------- This procedure assumes that there are at least some dockers and/or VMs related files on the cache disk, some of these steps are unnecessary if there aren't. Stop all running Dockers/VMs Settings -> VM Manager: disable VMs and click apply Settings -> Docker: disable Docker and click apply Click on Shares and change to "Yes" all cache shares with "Use cache disk:" set to "Only" or "Prefer" Check that there's enough free space on the array and invoke the mover by clicking "Move Now" on the Main page When the mover finishes check that your cache is empty (any files on the cache root will not be moved as they are not part of any share) Stop array, replace cache device, assign it, start array and format new cache device (if needed), check that it's using the filesystem you want Click on Shares and change to "Prefer" all shares that you want moved back to cache On the Main page click "Move Now" When the mover finishes re-enable Docker and VMs

HI have a new Unraid box running with the following: Skylake 6700K Nvidia GTX1080 Asrock Z170 OC Formula The Unraid box is running plex, couchpotato, sonar and a couple of other items. I don't generally do any transcoding and was considering setting the VM up with 3 of the 4 logical cores. (2,6 3,7 4,. Any reason that I shouldn't expect to have a gaming/oculus experience that similar to the box without unraid. Also, when the VM is turned off. Can unraid be configured to use those other cores? Thank you Thank you

No, I have not had any problem. Was just trying to prevent any potential problems in the future. I haven't setup the VM yet.

Hi All, New to VMs. Been reading through the threads. Unclear what the official opinion is here. Should I run a Win 10 gaming VM on the Cache Drive or an Unassigned drive? Secondly, when assigning the Primary vDisk Location why wouldn't I want to just use "Auto". Cheers

Hello, When I originally setup my unraid cache pool I used two 120GB drives and one 240GB drives that I had sitting around. I have installed a number of dockers and plugins. I am considering setting up a VM for gaming. I have read that it is perhaps better to have the VM and the dockers on an unassigned drive. If so, I would like to remove the 240GB drive from the pool and just used the 120GB drives (two) for the cache. What is the easiest way to remove the 240GB and reconfigure the cache? Note I am new to unraid. Thank you!

I have need to move a drive from a hotswap cage to inside the case. Will this be as simple as stopping the array, powering down and moving the drive? Or, does unraid somehow map the drive to a particular sata input such that moving the drive will cause a problem. Thank you

Hello, I have a new unraid system up for the past day. Everything appears to be in order except that I can seem to log-in with any of the created users accounts. The only account that I am able to log-in with via the web interface, SSH or share is the ROOT account. When i look at the logs it appears to accept the password and then instantly disconnects me. Looking for some suggestions. Do i need to give the non-root accounts permissions for SSH and other activities? Thank you

Than you for your quick response. Woops. I just realized that I actually have: 500 GB 120 GB 120 GB When I add them to the cache pool. They show up as 360GB is this expected? Is it still a protected Cache? Thank you

Just setting up my first Unraid Server today. Thank you for your help. I have three drives: 120 SSD 120 SDD 240 SSD Can I put all three in the cache pool such that I can have a 240 GB cache pool with redundancy? Any trick to doing this? I plan to run a windows VM (gaming + oculus), Plex and a couple of other dockers. My understanding is that dockers and VM are run from the cache pools. Will a 240 be a good start or do I need 480? Thank you! L

Hello, I am planning my first Unraid PC with support for Plex and one Windows 10 VM for Gaming. The Plex server only needs to support 2 transcodes as most of my streaming doesn't require it. I plan to use an i7 6700K with 10 HDD in the systems. Considering the following motherboards with 10 SATA 6 port: ASRock Z170 Extreme7+ LGA 1151 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157627 EVGA z170 Classified K - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188181 ASRock Z170 OC Formula LGA 1151 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157649 Asrock fatal1ty z170 professional gaming i7 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157676 Feedback on the above motherboards or alternate suggestions would be useful. They all require a second onboard chip to offer 10 STATA ports. Thank you,
