In the current beta, the VFIO-PCI.CFG plugin has been integrated into Unraid.....

 

Ah, okay. That makes sense.

 

I wasn't sure if there would be a window where what I was doing (manually editing and binding) wasn't going to work after the upgrade, thus breaking my current set-up.

 

Thanks.

Can anyone ELI5 what this passage means for people using an Nvidia card for Plex hardware transcoding on 6.8 and an additional card passed through to a VM (also Nvidia)? I'm using the Nvidia version of Unraid.

In a future release we will include the NVIDIA and AMD GPU drivers natively into Unraid OS.  The primary use case is to facilitate accelerated transcoding in docker containers.  For this we require Linux to detect and auto-install the appropriate driver.  However, in order to reliably pass through an NVIDIA or AMD GPU to a VM, it's necessary to prevent Linux from auto-installing a GPU driver for those devices upon boot, which can be easily done now through System Devices page.  Users passing GPU's to VM's are encouraged to set this up now.

 

Am I supposed to do something now, before 6.9 releases?
