I'm currently using the following in my XML file for my Windows 2016 Server: <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='directsync' io='native'/> Are these the best options to use for maximum performance?

The remove option under completed download handling won't stay true, if I set it, then come and go back in it keeps resetting to false, leaving files behind in SABnzbd, sonarr works fine with the same option.

I've thrown unraid on a new memory stick and have started preclear in a different machine, as you said, seems to work fine this time.

Using 6.6.6, the preclear plugin has been fine before, but now it just gets stuck at Starting... Known issue? Is there a workaround?

I was already transcoding to RAM when the data was temporarily moved (its back on the cache drive now and still works fine).

My Plex appdata is temporarily on an unassigned disk and it's working just fine.

Was support for UD ever added? I was intending on using Unbalance to move everything to a new cache drive.

It did eventually, but it seems to be causing one of the CPU threads to hit 100% when I'm trying to interact with it, for example in disk speed when im scanning controllers, its stuck one of my threads to 100% The whole GUI and dockers are lagging since installing it and there is no data on it as yet.

I have installed an NVME drive via an adapter and I'm unable to format it from the GUI. It says its formatting but never completes.

My current config is as my signature states, the drive configuration is as follows: Parity: 6TB WD60EZRZ Disk 1: 3TB WD3001FYYG Disk 2: 3TB WD3001FYYG Disk 3: 2TB DT01ACA200 Disk 4: 2TB DT01ACA200 Disk 5: 3TB WD3001FYYG Disk 6: 2TB WD20EZRX Cache: 1TB ST1000DM003 Unassigned: 2TB ST32000444SS I have the following dockers running: binhex-rtorrentvpn, duckdns, duplicati, jackett, Netdata, PlexMediaServer, radarr, sonarr, tautulli I have appdata, system and VM's running off the Cache drive which includes an exchange server, this is very slow due to high I/O. I transcode straight into RAM. The unassigned disk is used purely as a download drive for rtorrent as I need to seed quite a lot. I currently have my HBA in Slot 7 in the attached block diagram, and a USB 3.0 adaptor in Slot 5 which is passed through to my exchange server VM for windows backup and a shared printer. All the other Slots are free. I am getting an Intel 760p 512gb NVME drive which I am going to plug into Slot 5 via a PCIe to NVME adaptor and move the USB 3.0 card down to Slot 3. The NVME will replace the existing cache drive, I don't use the cache drive to cache writes to the array as I don't tend to change a lot of data and I am happy to have the 60MB/s I get writing directly to it. Does this all look sensible? Have I overlooked anything?

My Mojave VM is crashing after the Apple logo, it worked fine last time I used it, have there been any update in 6.6.6 that could have caused it?

I keep seeing unable to allocate guest memory in the logs, but even after shutting down other VMs and having 10GB free it still won't work. I don't use this VM a lot, so has an unraid update potentially broken the template? <memory unit='KiB'>8388608</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>8388608</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='4'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='16'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='5'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='17'/> </cputune> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.11'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/25a1e2fd-5487-506d-2198-80cd8e04247c_VARS-pure-efi.fd</nvram> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'> <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='2'/> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/Mojave/vdisk3.img'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='sata'/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='2'/> </disk>

Thanks. Is there any way to configure rtorrent to bypass the privoxy for specific trackers?

I don't have the budget for a large enough cache SSD but performance from a raw disk image on a spinning disk with Windows Server 2016 is quite poor. Can I improve this by passing through a partition from an unassigned disk? If so, how do I create a partition on an unassigned disk and configure a VM to use it?

Ok thanks.
