Never mind, I just redid the base VM and it came up no problem.

Hi there, After moving the VMs I could to the cache, and doing other things like you suggested, it seems to have gone okay, but now one of my VMs aren't booting up properly. It simply boots to this, and now I'm worried I lost the data after moving it. I cut and paste instead of copy paste the files. While it's not technically a huge loss if I lost this VM, it was my Home Assistant VM, and setting that back up would be a nightmare... Thanks for your help so far though, I do really appreciate it!

Like a Cache Pool? I did notice my Windows Server VM being odd when it was on the array. However, some stuff doesn't need the pure speed of the SSDs, and needs big storage. NextCloud for instance needs big storage, not necessarily big performance. I should move some things over to the SSD Cache Pool though. I should try that. There are a few VMs I could put on the Cache instead. Question though, should it be Cache only or should I do a Cache to Array with mover? I had mover enabled on my Cache domain once, and it caused oddities with Windows Server service game services, kept crashing the game server (minecraft especially).

Okay, as long as it's normal, I'm not worried then. Disk 2 seems to contain my Home Assistant VM. Disk 3 contains my NextCloud VM (Although I would have liked that on Disk 1, I'm slowly upgrading my disks to Seagate Ironwolf drives) Disk 2 would make sense, Home Assistant logs many things, and there's a power monitoring device in the Zwave network I got going, and it constantly reports power usage. Disk 3, NextCloud would be reading and writing to synchronize with my desktop and phone for cloud storage. I'm now curious if it's NextCloud then. Or if someone's trying to bruteforce onto NextCloud. Other than that, I'm not writing anything to my array at the moment.

I downloaded the logs (I attached it here if you're curious). What's odd to me that stuck out was in the "SMART" logs. That top "NVMe" doesn't look right, I only have 1 NVMe drive right now in my system For some reason, it shows the Sabrent Rocket NVMe drive twice in this folder, with different names. I checked both, and they're the same serial number. If this is simply my PC slowing down, I'm gonna be upgrading my server in the coming weeks, but I am curious what's causing this. xylerserver-diagnostics-20231115-1055.zip

That would tell me the differences between the two, but that doesn't tell me why unraid seems less responsive than usual. I've been trying to figure why my unraid is spiking often. If you're saying the difference between these two may be iowait, then do I have an IO issue somewhere?

Hi There, After upgrading to version 6.12.4, I've noticed my unraid's WebUI being slower than usual, and the CPU Spikes to 100% more often than usual. However, when looking at the HTOP output in the CLI, it doesn't match the CPU usage of the WebUI, so I'm sort of confused as to the issue. I know the WebUI and HTOP outputs don't refresh together, but the attached screenshot, the WebUI was like this for a few seconds, and the HTOP output refreshed several times before I took the screenshot. None of my Dockers or VMs are being sluggish, and none of them are showing signs that they're taking up system resources like this. I've attached a screenshot of the WebUI and HTOP views together. Was curious if this is normal behaviour. If it isn't, what are steps I can take to troubleshoot this, because I'm running low on options on things I've tried. Even rebooting doesn't seem to fully help. It isn't always at high utilization, but it does so often enough, and the WebUI is sluggish due to it.

I guess at this point, I'd need to ask Asus/ASrock/AMD themselves if it will support my RAM for this use. I'm sure they'll be the best to ask. And here's hoping RAM prices drop. I'm sick of being ripped off by these prices when trying to buy RAM, especially here in Canada hehe

I was just avoiding the possibility of buying new RAM (32 GB of RAM today is super expensive) 6 cores would be enough, I'm hanging on with 4 cores, just would love to dedicate more if needs be. I don't think ECC is needed for me, but I already bought the RAM, so buying new sticks is not something I'd want. I was thinking Ryzen too, I'm not set on Intel only, I'd just need a board and a Ryzen chip that supports the ram.

Hello, Currently I have a 4 core Xeon CPU powering my unRaid setup, but I'd love to upgrade the core count to at least 8. My current system: Intel Xeon E3-1245 V5 (Skylake based Xeon) 4 core 8 thread. Asus P10 WS Motherboard 32 GB (4x 8gb) Kingston ECC DDR4 UDIMM memory. I'd need a CPU which supports ECC UDIMM, and just looking for suggestions. looking to upgrade CPU, which will need new motherboard too. Price isn't much of an issue, but cheaper is always better hehe.

Ugh, okay. MichiSecurity was causing issues being on the SSD cache also due to the Domain folder. It was for some reason, taking up 210GB even though it only had Linux Mint on it with others, and I specified it to use the Hard Drives only, but it saved in SSD also. So, I moved the Windows Server VM over to domain, took off use SSD cache prefered, and deleted the other VM. This time, I hope everything sorts itself out. Thank you so much for your help

I disabled the Docker setting, don't know how to use it yet, so I don't really need it. I also set the docker folder to 20GB The SSD Cache drives are for some reason only having 1.07GB left. I'm moving the 200GB VM allocation for the Games Server hosting VM to the Domains Share, then seeing if that goes down. Also gonna change that to not prefer using the cache. Should solve a few issues right?

Here's the diagnostics after the crashing. I'm thinking of moving the entire VM from a SSDVM share I created to just simply the hard drives, I loved having it on the SSD cache for booting times, but the mover is causing issues. Oh well, long as it doesn't crash anymore, I'm fine with it being in the Hard Drive. Thanks for all your help, but please do look at the diagnostics. xylerserver-diagnostics-20161218-0941.zip

So I just thought of this now, while I was invoking the mover. My Windows Server is Cache only, so it uses just the cache drive, while the other VM uses the normal Hard Drives. Does the Mover only affect the Cache Drives? (( Minecraft by the way, is crashing as I type this, so it is the Mover's fault... ))

Okay, never mind. Found it, it starts at the specified time, 3:40AM

Where do I find the setting for the Mover? I haven't touched that yet x:

Hello, I'm currently experiencing an issue with my virtual machines. It seems that whenever I have a VM that has 4 out of the available 8 cores (using a 4 core with hyperthreading CPU), it seems to react oddly. At first, it was simply that for some strange reason, the Windows Server 2008 R2 VM would crash Minecraft server of all things, at a very specific time of the day, 3:40AM to 3:50AM. I originally thought it was simply the VM, so I erased it and decided to install Linux Mint to run Minecraft and other game servers. Well, that didn't end up working, same crashing at the same time, plus the VM would pause during the night. Not shutdown, pause on its own. It was strange, because I have another VM that runs Linux Mint, using 2 cores and 2 GB of RAM, and that never crashes, is always up (( it's running Unify NVR software, no cameras yet )) I switched back to a Windows Server Based OS for my primary game server hosting VM, but same issue, using Windows Server 2012 R2. Minecraft crashes at the same time, and the VM pauses at night. It's getting annoying. My unRAID server specs: Intel Xeon E3 1245-V5 (Skylake based Xeon Processor) 16GB Kingston ECC Unbuffered RAM (2 8gb sticks) Asus P10S-WS Motherboard, running the C232 chipset 2 3TB Western Digital RED NAS Hard Drive (Main storage drives) 2 250GB Samsung 850 EVO SSDs (Cache drives) Any other questions you may have, ask away, I'm really frustrated at this. It used to work flawlessly, and now I'm sure it has to do with UNRAID, because the issue persists through Linux and Windows, at the same time frame...

Well... Windows Logo now just continuously blinks...

It's... freezing on the "Starting Windows" (( https://gyazo.com/fab91ee9020f286370d43ee61e935398 )) screen, tried changing the template from Server 2008 to Server 2016, and now the Windows logo is showing up. Giving it 150GB of SSD Cache 10GB of RAM Installing this on SSD Cache like previously mentioned. (( I have 2 cache drives, Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSDs ))

I'm having issues installing a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM on my unRAID machine. here's a snapshot of the configs I got right now: https://gyazo.com/a86a52a843a57f6bbe4cae1951ce3e37 Here's the XML of the VM if it also helps... My specs are: Intel Xeon E3-1245 V5 CPU 16GB ECC RAM Would like any help as to why, the VM launches, and everything seems okay, but the installation doesn't get to the part where I can install the Server. It used to work, but I needed to delete it for glitching reasons. Linux works, and Server 2016 works (I have an ISO but no key), but I only have a key for Server 2008 R2...

Hello, being relatively new to all this, I've been getting garbled audio when trying to get HDMI audio out through my GPU. Currently, the system has an NVIDIA GTX 660ti to run this VM.

So I just have a quick question, how do I go about upgrading to unRAID 6.2 from 6.1.9?

Hello, I just recently installed Linux Mint onto 1 of my VMs for unRAID, and noticed the audio is all sorts of messed up. It's stuttering, skipping, sounding really weird, and even won't let videos play right because of it on YouTube... for some reason. I initially thought it was a networking issue, but even the testing in Linux Mint showed it was really strange. HDMI port is out of a nVidia GTX 660TI GPU. I am new to trying to pass audio out, so I'm wondering if I made a mistake or is there something I need to do to allow the audio to stream consistantly, as this VM will be used to connect to a home theater setup.

Yes. You use the Unassigned Devices plugin to mount the SMB share, then pass the mount point (/mnt/disks/whateverItIs) as a new volume to the Plex Docker app. Easy... Thank you so very much

Hello, I've been using unRAID for quite some time now, and I love it a lot. My question is, and I have no idea where to post this, this is why I'm here. My friend is new to unRAID, and asked me a good question, is it possible to link unRAID to an existing SMB share, so that Plex server can then be linked to a /volume/share on unRAID OS itself? They've got a Windows server machine, that's got their library of things, so all their media, and they've got Plex installed on unRAID, can they link Plex/unRAID to that SMB share?
