Does that not normally happen? Do you normally see them in separate groups? I think I see them in the same group in videos online and it's working.

Awesome... I have a single GPU on my system. I hope this works for me. I just need to find some time to myself to be able to try it out. Right now on my unRAID machine I have two monitors set up (because it used to be a desktop Linux machine). I'd like to utilize this VM and GPU passthrough to have it act like a desktop machine once again. Let me ask a question... right now I see a Linux console on one of the monitors. What will happen if I follow this guide? I'll boot unRAID and unRAID will utilize the graphics card until I start my VM?... then what... it hijacks it?

I have a GTX 650 Ti that shows up when I configure a new VM but I am unable to start it. I was under the impression that I need a 2nd graphics card (one for unRAID plus one for the VM). Is that what my error message (below) is saying. I'd think if that were the case it wouldn't even give me the option to select it. If that is the issue what other graphics card should I get for unRAID? Here were some I was looking at. EVGA GeForce 8400 GS (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N83U90867) ZOTAC GeForce GT 710 ... since it's just PCI Express x1 (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N849V2356) ... Or is there a USB card that might work? Other MoBo info here Execution error internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2017-04-02T11:36:20.205381Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.2,addr=0x4: vfio: failed to set iommu for container: Operation not permitted 2017-04-02T11:36:20.205417Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.2,addr=0x4: vfio: failed to setup container for group 13 2017-04-02T11:36:20.205422Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.2,addr=0x4: vfio: failed to get group 13 2017-04-02T11:36:20.205435Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.2,addr=0x4: Device initialization failed

I have this installed... how do I log in? Are there instructions somewhere? I tried using my unRAID usernames/passwords... didn't work. Also, I feel like there should be some information on the front page describing how this is different from the LimeTech plex server.

I just downloaded ultravnc. I don't see the guest resizing itself at all when I maximize the viewer. Is there something I need to install on the guest for this to work? This isn't the guest itself running VNC server is it?... it's KVM or something else right?

Brand new to unRAID. I created an Ubuntu VM and I'm trying to use it over VNC. How should I access my NAS from within the guest? Should I just use NFS? I enabled it on one of my user shares and within the guest I just ran "mount lamename:/mnt/user/stuff /nas/stuff" and it seemed to work. Is there a better best practice for accessing the host filesystem? I know both VirtualBox and VMWare support their own sharing mechanisms, does KVM as well? Another issue I'm having is that the VNC viewer seems pretty bad. The keys I type like to repeat sometimes like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis. I cannot get "Remote resizing" scaling mode to work. Is there something I have to do within the guest OS to enable this feature? Eventually the entire thing becomes so slow that I need to quit the VNC viewer and launch a new one. It's basically unusable right now. Eventually (once I get a second graphics card) I'll want to run my VM with the GPU and wouldn't necessarily want to use VNC, but that'll come later.

I get the following error when I try to create a VM with anything other than 1 CPU. I have 6 cores. I'd like to give this VM like 2 or 4. I was able to give it cores 5 and 6 somehow to create a 2 core system, but I can't find a way to give it 4

Need help deciding on what plugins to install on this machine. I have gigabit internet through AT&T and feel like I should be running some kind of servers on this thing. Are there separate applications I should install for serving movies, music and pictures? Is there one application that does all 3 well? I have an Android phone, so whatever I install I need to be able to use it from Android. Is NextCloud something I should look at?

This has the ability to mount USB drives as well? Okay, I'm surprised there isn't any kind of official link there. Is there even a list of supported plugins / apps?

It did not mount automatically before or after doing a `modprobe ntfs` Again, where should I copy the data to? I see /mnt/disk1 disk2 cache user and user0

Good to know. I'll probably use rsync if it's available. I'm unfamiliar with Midnight Commander. In fact I enter it accidentally all the time on Linux machines when I typo mc instead of mv and I don't even know how to properly exit it

So I just started my machine yesterday with brand 3 brand new 8TB hard drives, plus a 128GB SSD cache. It's been syncing for 11 hours and I'm 85% done... so at that rate it'll be 13 hours. Question 1) Once the sync is complete, how should I transfer my old data back onto it? I have maybe 1.5TB of data on an external USB 3.0 drive. Do I just log in as root on the terminal and copy from there? Will it be mounted automatically in /media like a lot of distros do, or will I have to manually dmesg, to get the correct sd[x], and mount it manually? Where do I copy the data to? I'm assuming I should have single partition somewhere that is 16GB. Question 2) What kind of changes can I make to the system and have it still function? I want to use GPU passthrough on an Ubuntu (or Mint) VM and use this machine as my desktop (like it was before I put unRAID on it). I haven't set anything up yet, but on the VM tab I see that I can select my video card. I only have one video card so this is contrary to what I've read. I thought if you only have one card the host steals it and it's unavailable to give to a VM. Question 3) Optical drive... I have a BluRay drive that I'd like to use to back up my BluRays now that I have 16TB of storage. Is it possible to give this to my guest VM? If not, I have, in the past, ripped BluRays from within Docker by passing the block device to the container... maybe that's preferable anyway, but still wanted to ask about giving it to a VM.

Let's say I get 3x 8TB drives, I can add another 8TB drive later without having to shuffle all the data for it to be spread evenly? How does that work? Also, I was looking at HSGT drives because the stats published by BackBlaze seem to show they're the best. I'll have to look at that post and see what the external packaging is all about. Can you re-use it with a different drive to make it a generic external enclosure?

Each configuration with a single parity would end me up with 12TB storage correct? Getting 4x 6 TB would be a bit cheaper but possibly use more power? What other pros/cons are there? Performance? Stability? Future expansion implications?

This covers many questions / topics so I wasn't sure which sub-forum to put it in. I don't want to split them up because I want context. Currently I have... AMD FX-6350 Vishera 6-Core 3.9 GHz (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113327) BIOSTAR TA970 Ver. 5.3 (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138372) EVGA SSC GeForce GTX 650 Ti (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130839) 16G RAM 1TB Mechanical 120GB SSD I use it as a desktop Linux machine / Samba file server. I'm at capacity right now with 1TB hard drive and 120G SSD. Hard Drives: I need to repalce the single 1TB with some 4TB hard drives. Question 1)... How many 4TB Hard drives should I get and in what configuration? 3 of them with 1 for parity? or just 2 of them in RAID 1? Question 2)... Should I use the 120GB SSD as a cache and maybe just boot from a USB? VM Gaming / GPUs While shopping around I see that a GTX 1050 Ti can be had for $140 and I'm thinking about running a Windows VM with GPU passthrough for gaming. MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137056) Question 3)... can I also run a desktop Linux VM using the same GPU as long as they're both not "on" at the same time? Question 3.1)... I don't really care if my Linux VM has a GPU or not. Is this possible too?... to maybe just use VNC? Question 4)... unRAID still requires that the host OS unRAID needs a graphics card all for itself? Question 4.1)... I heard maybe with AMD graphics cards it was okay but not with NVidia?... if that's true, what AMD card would be able to get 60fps 1080 on GTA V and Battlefield 1? If I do need to have a 2nd video card just for unRAID, then 650 Ti that I currently have is probably overkill and maybe I'd just get some $30 video card which'll use less power. Here were the two I was looking at. EVGA GeForce 8400 GS (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N83U90867) ZOTAC GeForce GT 710 ... since it's just PCI Express x1 (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N849V2356) Question 5)... given my motherboard and GPUs I currently own or was looking at, does it look like it'll work?... 2 graphics cards on my motherboard? If you see the motherboard listing below I don't know what this x16 and x4 mean. Does that mean one of them is x16 and the other is x4? I'm thinking it should be okay since the board is advertised with ATI Crossfire which is meant to run 2 discrete graphics cards. Expansion Slots PCI Express 2.0 x16 2 x PCI-E x16 2.0 Slots (x16, x4) PCI Express x1 2 x PCI-E x1 2.0 Slots PCI Slots 2 x PCI Slots
