Disabling Spectre/Meltdown/Zombieload mitigation's (PLUGIN AVAILABLE)
Installed it and using it. But take care: by using a webbrowser (in a VM too) it's possible to leak senstive data. Javascript attacks do exist. Browsers have their own prevention mechanisms, which might not be enough in every case.

Where do the virtual machine configuration xml files live?
I'm also looking for a way to make a backup. Where are they located on the usb stick?

Simpler / Easier PCI Device Pass Through for NON-GPUs
Update: I tried to set the pci stub of the Raid controller, which wasn't working. Then I tried to set all pci stubs of the group 23. Now I can see my Raid 5 of the intel raid controller within the VM. I also tried to disable the "PCIe ACS Override" afterwards. Which had no effect at all, still working. My syslinux.cfg now looks like like this: ( unrelevant parts removed ) label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append pci-stub.ids=8086:2822,8086:8d47,8086:8d22 initrd=/bzroot The partition is encrypted with truecrypt/veracrypt, I can mount it without any issues and use it. The raid functionality seems to be given also. I accidentally didn't connect one drive properly and the raid controller re-build the array after reconnecting the missing drive. The problem which I had also with Esxi persists. The Intel Storage Manager tool tells me the drive is incompatible, even everything seems to work. I think it's the raid oprom which isn't loaded within the VM. Is there any possibility to load the raid controller oprom within the VM? I tried to change the settings in the Bios (CSM) to load the Raid oprom: BIOS/UEFI/Never. But that seem to not have any effect at all. The log of the vm shows: 2017-03-01T00:24:32.517154Z qemu-system-x86_64: vfio: Cannot reset device 0000:00:1f.2, no available reset mechanism. Thanks!

Simpler / Easier PCI Device Pass Through for NON-GPUs
I want to pass the Intel onboard raid controller to a windows 10 vm. My hardware specs are: Intel xeon ES v4 E5-2630 64GB ECC Asrock X99 extreme4 GTX 750 ( N750-2GD5/OCV1 ) VT-d enabled I have enabled "PCIe ACS Override". The output of the IOMMU group after enabling the override and rebooting is: IOMMU group 23 [8086:8d47] 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset LPC Controller (rev 05) [8086:2822] 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation SATA Controller [RAID mode] (rev 05) [8086:8d22] 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset SMBus Controller (rev 05) I have tried to passthrough the device with: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' function='0x2'/> </source> </hostdev> While trying to launch the vm I get the following error: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2017-02-28T22:30:08.326161Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=00:1f.2,id=hostdev4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8: vfio: error, group 23 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver. 2017-02-28T22:30:08.326194Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=00:1f.2,id=hostdev4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8: vfio: failed to get group 23 2017-02-28T22:30:08.326212Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=00:1f.2,id=hostdev4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8: Device initialization failed I'm moving from Esxi. While using Esxi I managed to passthrough the raid controller. With unRAID in managed to passthrough the gpu, but struggling with the raid controller. Do I need to detach the Raid controller from unRAID, because I can see the attached drives? Any hints are appreciated.
