Soo, I recently bought the Aoostar WTR Max, with the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS Cpu with Radeon 780M GPU I am trying to setup a VM, with passthrough of the GPU, so I can connect my 2 monitors, keyboard, mouse and so on. What i'm trying to do, is to use the machine both as a NAS, with *Unraid, but also as my desktop computer. But no matter what I have done so far, I can't get it to work, it just wont display output on my displays. I've enabled IOMMU in the bios, and I've tried to bind the VFIO on boot. I've also added the GPU to the VM, tried both with it as the ONLY GPU, but also as a secondary GPU, no matter the result. The best result I got, was from another post here, VM Passthrough AMD 780M Code Error 43 - VM Engine (KVM) - Unraid I also get the error 43, but no matter what, I can't get it to work. So anyone got any ideas, as to what to do here ? Does anyone have the same machine and got it to work ? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi, I’m toying with the idea of placing my PC in a different room from where I sit. Mostly because of the heat generated by the PC—it gets unbearably hot. Just this past Sunday, it was 30 degrees Celsius with the window open and a fan running at full power. So what I’m considering is whether there’s some kind of KVM over fiber or Ethernet that can handle 2* 2k monitors at 144Hz, plus mouse, keyboard, camera, etc. My initial thought was to have the PC in Room A, connected to some kind of box X, a 10-meter cable to Room B where another box Y is located. I would then connect the monitors and other equipment here and be able to play with minimal latency or close to it. I’ve seen that Linus Sebastian from Linus Tech Tips has something like this, where he has their PCs in a rack in the basement, but he never really goes into detail about the equipment he uses to allow them to play in their rooms. Does anyone have any good ideas about what equipment could be used?

Ahh that makes sense then. Would be nice if the above message had included that. Can it be changed after the cache is configured, when the array is offline or something ?

So, I have a server, with some shares. Those shares are set to use my cache SSD. In share settings -> use cache pool, I have set it to YES. YES states: Yes indicates that all new files and subdirectories should be written to the Cache disk/pool, provided enough free space exists on the Cache disk/pool. If there is insufficient space on the Cache disk/pool, then new files and directories are created on the array. When the mover is invoked, files and subdirectories are transferred off the Cache disk/pool and onto the array. Now i'm in the process of writing a lot of data to my share, my cache fills up, but it doesn't do as stated, it doesn't write the files directly to the share, it just fails with the error that there is insufficient space, Can anyone explain why ?

Yeah I found out about the rebuild. regarding the other disk, the SSD I wanted to use as cache, which had lvm's volumes, Unassigned Devices and Destructive mode, didn't work, it just said fail when trying. So I did the "easy thing". turned off the server. Attached the disk to a windows computer via USB started CMD, diskpart -> List disk -> select disk 1 -> clean And done, that ease in windows. I don't undestand why it is such a hassle in unraid.

I do, though so far I haven't put any data on the server. Parity is irrelevant, data safe keeping is irrelevant, I just want the 2 disks "deleted" erased, cleaned. like a Quick format in windows. But unraid fails to format the disks.

Isn't there and EASY way to clean a disk in unraid. ? I don't want preclear og checked or anything. I just want it stripped of partition layout. In windows you can use diskpart, and the clean disk. Very simple. Is there something similar in unraid.? The reason i'm asking, is because I'm trying to add two disks to my server, that has been used for something else. So now unraid fails to format the disks, because one of the disks contains some LVM partitions. The other, Unraid wants to start a 4-5 hours disk clear, totally unnecessary.

Nah, sadly not, the battery is fine. 3 days of no power cord plugged in, and the clock and every setting is still right. I just have, for some reason, a board that is totally unable to boot from USB. I can read from USB, I can write to USB, I can install other OS to SSD's and boot them. But I can't boot from USB at all. Which sadly makes unraid totally unusable for me, even though I would have loved to run unraid

Okay, this is something I have never seen before. Apparently my server has lost the ability to boot ANY USB at all. No matte the USB port I'm using, or what is on that USB, it wont boot. I does recognize the different USB's i'm putting in, but it wont boot. I've tried to clear the bios, load defaults and just about anything else I can think of, but nothing has helped anything. Seems I have a semi-dead motherboard, unable to USB boot

Same result, didn't work.

I am 100% sure it tries to boot on the USB. the server doesn't even support UEFI boot, it is an old board. the USB device is set as the ONLY boot device. It is ONLY unraid that gives me problems, if I flash the USB with anything else, like a windows installer, it works just fine.

Hi All, I am at a total loss here about what the hell is going on. Last week, on thursday, I fire back up my unraid server, which I hadn't been using for a while. I did a complete fresh reinstall of the USB, cleared all disks and so on. I had it up and running, made a cache pool, set up the disks in the array, addedd shares and so on. Copied some 700GB of data to the server, after the Parity sync was complete, which took som 10 hours or so. During all this, the server was rebooted a few times, without issue. Then I power down the server, and din't think more about it for a few days. Then sunday, I power back up the server, and it fails to start. It gives me the error: < Reboot and select roper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key > I have tried, 3 different USB sticks, same result. I have tried 2 different computeres, same result. I have tried to create the USB with the Unraids USB flash creator, same result. I have tried to create the USB on 2 different computers with the flash creator, same result. I have tried formating the USB sticks, download the Unraid zip installation, copy it to the USB, and run the "Make Bootable" as administrator, same result. What the hell is going on? Why am I totally unable to create a bootable Unraid installation all of the sudden ? My Server hardware, is a Supermicro Board H8SGL-F, AMD Opteron 6380 CPU, 128GB ECC Memory. I has been running without a problem for years, but now it, and other computeres I have, seems unable to boot ANY unraid installation ?

Okay, Great many thanks

Quick question here, after I fixed the split level thing, I delete all data on the shares and started redownloading all my data. So now how WILL unraid handle the data, what should I expect to see. I got around 6 TB data downloading from Amazon Cloud Drive. My setup is, Unraid on baremetal. A VM with rclone, downloading to an Unraid user share. Should I expect to see the disk fill up equally, or does it just fill one to the max and then the next ?

Yeah those I changed to the above( split any) Is there a way to have unraid rebalance all the data automatically ?
