  1. Apologies you can leave cpu type as "host", but otherwise rules out that being the issue.

     

    Most of your settings are the same as mine... only other suggestion is to ensure "Ballooning Device" is unchecked in Proxmox vm memory options, possibly pump this up to 6 or 8GB if you have the spare memory especially if you are running more than pure storage on it e.g. docker.

     

    5 min is not very long, are you actually getting into Unraid at any point?

    Does the console show the boot process finishing?

    Ahh, unfortunately none of this was mentioned in the installation tutorial.  Ok, so I have paused the parity sync.  Would you recommend that I:

     

    1. Resume it (17.9% complete, estimated 12 hours to go.)  Doesn't seem prudent.

    2. Cancel it and then:

      A) remove the parity drive from the array and reattach it after adding data to the data drives.

      B) remove all drives from the array and run preclear* on all of them now, then add the data drives back to the array, add data to them, and then reattach the parity drive. 

     

    If it matters (it probably does) the drives were not new and were previously used in a Drobo (I know, I was young and stupid) so they do/did have data on them previously and were not wiped before being added to the Unraid array.

     

    * there are two versions of preclear in the app repository.  One is called binhex-preclear and is in Binhex's repository, and the other is called Unassigned Devices Preclear and is in dlandon's repository.  From their descriptions they appear to have similar functionality but I was wondering if one was recommended over the other.  Oh and I just noticed that the first one is a Docker container and the second is a plugin, and I honestly don't know the difference between the two.

     

    I hope I'm not asking too many questions, I appreciate your help.

     

    One massive advantage of binhex-preclear is you can preclear on a non-unraid system.

    Plugin integrates better with the UI, but core functionality is on par.

    Both are based on evolved versions of the original preclear script from many years ago.

     

    I personally use the plugin, and really only for stress testing as most of my drives go into pools (patiently waiting for multi array!).

    Hello everyone,

    I inserted this command in the GO file and everything works, now in ProxMox i see the IP address.

    However, in the unRAID LOG I see that every 10 seconds or so it continues to write: Mar 25 16:16:22 Riddler qemu-ga: info: guest-ping called

     

    Is all this normal?

     

    Thanks in advance!

     

    Late reply I know, but this is normal, but should only happen while Proxmox UI is open and focused on that VM.

    Close the Proxmox page and it should stop the pinging :)

    Biggest red flag here is to the best of my knowledge, updates are never released without versioning, which implies no security updates. 

     

    What plans are being implemented for managing security updates?

    Not sure if this has been clarified yet, but similar subscription/support models I've seen elsewhere give free patch level upgrades, e.g. if your support period ends on 6.14.x release, you will get any .x updates included, but you can't go to +6.15.x without renewing.

    This is what I hope LT will adopt for Unraid, and will actually make certain versioning decisions more important for them in regards to support and revenue.

  5. I'm happy to see this change as it will give Unraid the resources it needs to really shine and iterate new features and all the other things we all want.

    Also grateful that the licencing model doesn't penalise for time missed, Atlassian used to do this for their self hosted software and I hated it to the nth degree.

     

    Now get cracking on the multi array release please :D

    going down this rabbit hole as far as it goes lol.. I’m running unraid in proxmox all seems well.  But now I wanna connect to nfs.

     Is it done? And if so how? 

    Use unassigned devices plugin to mount the smb or nfs share to unraid (appears under /mnt/remotes).
    This can then be mounted into the docker using the usual options.

    Of course most new synologys have the capability to run docker, and you might be better of running deluge directly on the synology to avoid complexity.

    If there is a dev reading, can we get the option to get missing episodes back into the list so we KNOW we are missing something?

    Definitely one for the Emby developers over on their forum if you don't like the changes, but you can still see missing episodes, but it has been moved to the 3 dot icon:

  8. Just a heads up, I noticed the default tag set in this template is "master", but Loki moved over to the more PC term "main" 2 years ago.
    This means the default tag will load a 2 year old version of Loki, which is insecure and will likely have compatibility issues.image.thumb.png.71af997e5acf42e7eb2539964ce60379.png

  9. Is it possible to modify the disk labels auto created by Unraid for disks on main?


    I have some new white label WD HC550s, and some are showing with a slightly different model name layout, even though its same model as others.

    Alternatively, any utilities to modify properties of the disk itself?
    Just looking to appease my OCD tendencies, this is not breaking anything.

    @tjb_altf4: Thanks for sharing! I'm owning also on 920q and a 330p.
    Could you please tell me which parts you have used? e.g. the small board for the SATA connectors?

    Thanks a lot :)

    No problem :)


    Other pieces were 3d printed, but thick double sided tape would work also I'd imagine

    So any melanox card based on QSFP+ will be compatible with Unraid but if it's based on infinitiband I could have problems?

     

    like these would be compatible?

    Mellanox CX314A MCX314A-BCCT ConnectX-3 Pro 40GbE Dual-Port QSFP PCIe Card | eBay

     

    Mellanox ConnectX-3 MCX354A-FCBT CX354A VPI 40/56GbE Dual-Port QSFP Adapter 789398906032 | eBay

    Just don't get an infiniband only card, QSFP+ is just a connector/cable and can be used for either protocol.

    This one does both modes, you may to change modes to use when setting up.

    This one is ethernet only.

    Note the final character of the model (T or S) means the bracket height (Tall or Short)
