It looks like somebody has recently reverse engineered throttlestop and figured out how to undervolt Haswell and newer CPUs in Linux. Is there any chance this can get ported to unraid, perhaps even as a plugin with a GUI? https://github.com/mihic/linux-intel-undervolt

I had problems with something "thrashing" my disk with reads causing one disk to always stay spun up. After some troubleshooting I found that it was cache_dirs plugin. It seems that one of my backup folders contains a large amount of directories, apparently too many to fit into RAM, so cache_dirs read the structure from disk every 10 seconds because the cached structure got evicted in the mean time. This resulted in endless directories reads from disk to memory. Not great. Excluding that folder worked for the most part but some reads were still not cached; now I doubled my RAM, included the folder again and had zero read/write from any disk in the past few hours. Is there any way to figure out how much memory the cached directory structure currently uses?

It looks like somebody found a way to patch the Nvidia driver to remove the virtualization check that causes Error 43. Perhaps this is helpful for some edge cases where people can't dump their BIOS for whatever reason. https://github.com/sk1080/nvidia-kvm-patcher I have not tried this, attempt at your own risk.

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/309087-insanely-fast-virtual-mac-qemu-ovmf-clover-and-native-graphics/page-25 Looks like this requries QEMU 2.9.0 to work. The parameters are simple enough to add to the unraid XML, but I haven't updated to 6.4-rc yet. Once 6.4 is stable and those parameters are confirmed working we should be able to use macOS on unraid with unpatched clover versions.

somebody (helgrind over at insanelymac) seems to have found a way around the clover patch, does anybody know how to convert this to unraid compatible XML? I think I've found a way to avoid the ugly Clover patch: -cpu Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on vmware-cpuid-freq requires kvm to be exposed and invtsc enabled, hence the kvm=on,+invtsc Tested on qemu 2.9.0.

I'm curious has anybody managed to get Filevault working in a unRAID Sierra VM? It seems like it's working on regular Hackintoshes that support UEFI. I think it would be really nice to have the disk image encrypted since unRAID itself does not focus on security and might be prone to getting hacked.

EVGA 1060 SC 6GB (non-SC version posted in the original topic gave me Error 43) P/N 06G-P4-6163-KR BIOS 86.06.39.00.62 Works perfect now, great performance and runs very cool as I was able to undervolt it to 0.903V at only 30 Mhz below stock clockspeed. Never goes above 65% power limit. http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/17/02/02/ega.png https://www.expirebox.com/download/707fd4d24328be8bc174bc6136d9fcd5.html

I'm aware of that but I'm not sure how that relates to my question. By "UI" i meant the VNC Crashplan UI, not Unraid. That being said crashplan's network architecture doesn't seem to play nice with port redirection at all.

Has anybody managed to make this work with a non-default listening port? Whenever I try to change the default 4242 in the UI it won't accept the port and instead applies a seemingly port within 10 ports of the one I picked. For example if I enter "Listening Port" 5000 and press apply, crashplan accepts Port 5006 instead. I've tried this with many completely random ports, there's no way _all_ ports on my machine are taken. These random port won't even stick through reboots. Setting the service port in the unRAID docker ui also does nothing. I noticed that the name of the variable changes when the port in the docker UI gets changed. e.g. the container normally starts with "-e TCP_PORT_4242=4242" but when you change it to 5000 it starts with "-e TCP_PORT_5000=5000" Is that intended? by the way, do you guys run host or bridge networking?

This won't work with unRAID. The required kernel modules aren't present. Also isn't this for a laptop/desktop system running on a battery? There are some power managment related tweaks that are useful for normal desktops/servers. The powertop tweaks (more aggressive pci power savings, etc) lower my idle wattage from 21 to 15 watts with open media vault. Its not the end of the world but it would have been nice to have. Unraid idles at 31 watts, presumably because I can't figure out how to enable the kernel mode setting for the intel GPU and powertop is not available.

can you please add powertop to the nerdpack? that would be very useful to reduce idle power consumption.

How does this container relate to the official Plex Docker container going forwards? Starting from a fresh unRAID install, should I pick this or the official Plex image?

I'd like to request unison + ssh. http://www.tecmint.com/file-synchronization-in-linux-using-unison/ It is a very stable crossplatform file syncing utility with excellent conflict management. I use it as a replacement for BTsync. It tunnels through SSH so it's quite safe. Since it's feature finished and mature it doesn't get updated often, so the maintenance requirements past the initial development should be minimal.
