Fair enough but it doesn't answer the question as to why the files are being accessed so frequently in the first place. This isn't just a one off occurrence as it's happening 24/7 over extended periods of time ie months. It's only when I investigated the fact that my disks didn't spin down that I noticed the constant file access

No, the VMs aren't running. In two cases, the ISOs aren't used for any VM. In all cases, the ISOs aren't present on any VM config

So why are the ISOs constantly accessed? This constant access means that my disks never spin down which I'd really like them to do.

I’ll give that a whirl later but I doubt it’ll make a difference as I’ve got 32Gb memory with about 60% free. Just a thought - I have the entries for the dockers REM’d out do they don’t load. I have my dockers set to auto start when the array starts. Could this be causing a conflict with the rClone mount script?

Anyone?

I have an issue uploading files. Whenever the upload script is run, it complains that rclone isn't installed and halts. When I look in /user/mount_rclone, where previously the google_vfs directory was mounted containing a mount check file, there is now only the following - ?google_vfs. On using mc to click on this file, an error message appears stating "Cannot change directory". I'm completely at a loss as to how to progress. All scripts are unmodified apart from the Mount script where the docker launches are removed.

A malformed database. Think a reinstall would fix that?

Has there been a bad update recently? Suddenly discovered the Radaar web gui not moving beyond the dancing dots.

EDIT: I made one mistake right at the very end. I tried to use VNC instead of Splashtop! I just twigged, tried Splashtop and logged straight in with no problem whatsoever. A daft mistake to make! Info below is for reference only... Thanks for that but no joy. The VM boots up to the login screen but then the VNC session won't accept keyboard or mouse input. It's not a crash as the cursor is flashing awaiting input. I've had a look at the log. Maybe it's a VNC issue related to the keyboard? usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full 2017-02-10T17:15:09.676357Z qemu-system-x86_64: terminating on signal 15 from pid 6204 2017-02-10 17:15:10.276+0000: shutting down 2017-02-10 17:17:25.291+0000: starting up libvirt version: 1.3.1, qemu version: 2.5.1, hostname: Tower Domain id=14 is tainted: high-privileges Domain id=14 is tainted: custom-argv Domain id=14 is tainted: host-cpu usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full 2017-02-10T17:18:57.598042Z qemu-system-x86_64: terminating on signal 15 from pid 6204 2017-02-10 17:18:57.998+0000: shutting down 2017-02-10 17:19:28.498+0000: starting up libvirt version: 1.3.1, qemu version: 2.5.1, hostname: Tower Domain id=15 is tainted: high-privileges Domain id=15 is tainted: custom-argv Domain id=15 is tainted: host-cpu

I've made great progress with installing macOS using the video in the OP. Thanks for that! However, I'm stuck on the final stage. MacOS loads up to the login screen and won't accept any keyboard or mouse input via VNC. I'm not sure if there's been a crash at this point but certainly I can't progress any further. Has anyone come across this before/ be able to help?
