New vfio-bind method.  

...

The script /usr/local/sbin/vfio-pci is called very early in system start-up, right after the USB flash boot device is mounted but before any kernel modules (drivers) have been loaded.  The function of the script is to bind each specified device to the vfio-pci driver, which makes them available for assignment to a virtual machine, and also prevents the Linux kernel from automatically binding them to any present host driver.

@limetech could this be leveraged to change the default GPU (and presenting another) for the unraid GUI console?

Oddly I only have one numa node:

My observation has been those with one node i.e. running in uma/distributed mode aren't seeing the same issues.

1950x seems to be often defaulted to uma/distributed mode, whereas 2xxx series seems to default to numa/local mode.

Adding sample xml for one of  my tested VMs.

CPU pairings look off, spread across both numa nodes and not using any thread pairings, this may be impacting performance.

 

This is a Win10 VM I have (also 1950x) that has no boot issues... sub 20 seconds.
(note: created under 6.5.x but tested on 6.6.3)

 

This is what your pairings look like in the gui, note that it doesn't follow the same layout.

 

Try changing pairings to follow similar pairings and see if that impacts boot time, note I'm also still on an older machine (i440fx) setting still.

 

I would also ensure your on the latest bios, if you haven't updated already.
 

[[6.5.3] vmdk support]

I have been able to run .vmdk, tested on 6.5.x earlier this year, from memory I needed to manually add the path+filename for the same reasons you have mentioned.  

Adding .vmdk to the file filter would be a nice addition.

 

I have also been able to convert from .vmdk to .img (for ease of management), did this only a few weeks ago on 6.5.3

This was the command I used:

qemu-img convert -p -f vmdk -O raw "Windows Server 2008 R2.vmdk" ws2008.img

[[6.5.2] Unraid reports wrong on max installable memory]

FYI: My MSI X399 is reporting 512GB max. installable capacity when it only can support 128GB.  Odd that it's 4x the amount like you're seeing.  Maybe a Zen oddity??

 

The dmidecode tool is just reading what SMBIOS is reporting

Just to add to this, my AsRock Taichi X399 reads the same as yours @eschultz
