Should I be using smb instead of nfs to share files between two linux servers?

It looks like I can't access any of my docker networks and when I look at the logs I'm seeing some weird kernel issue. Please see attached diagnostics. I can stop and start the array but it shows that my docker services failed to start and my VMs failed to start. The only way to fix this is to reboot the server. unnas-diagnostics-20210528-0944.zip

I don't mind helping out with beta testing and that's why I'm here to provide any diagnostic reports when those errors do come in. So far I've tried to produce a new VM using Seabios and mode 4 rather than ovmf mode 8. Both tests have had the kernel errors. Let me know if there is anything else I should be testing.

Created a fresh windows VM with Seabios and mode 4, still getting the kernel errors and forcing me to hard reset my server. unnas-diagnostics-20210525-0925.zip

I was using mode 8, should I try mode 4? I'll set up a seaBIOS test VM and see if it makes any difference.

Sure, please see attached for the diagnostics. I've tried opening a 1080p file and 4k file in a media player inside the VM and it seems to be utilizing the CPU more than the igPU. But I do see some video decode and video processing utilization, about 20-40%

I tried to use parsec and when I tried to play a 4k video on youtube, I get a connection error and can't seem to connect back to the VM through parsec/VNC/RDP. Seems like it crashes the VM. I coudln't even kill the process in htop. I couldn't access the VM page on Unraid and when I went to go into VM settings to turn off the VM using VM Manager and turn it back on I still see it stuck. I think I have to force shutdown my Unraid server. In the logs I see a bunch of kernel errors as well.

The Load on my CPU spikes to 100% when I am playing a 4k Youtube video and when I stop then the CPU utilization goes back down. Video decode is constant at 0% on the iGPU. I'm not sure where the 3D utilization is coming from but it doesn't seem to be related to the Youtube video since I see it fluctuate even when I'm not playing a video.

Thanks for writing this guide, I've followed the steps and I can see the iGPU in my windows VM. I've also enabled it to show the display 2 only and so nothing shows on my VNC but when I use RDP and try to play a youtube video to test I see it's still utilizing all my CPU and not the iGPU. I also notice a third display driver whenever I login to RDP.

Thank you!

Result of the extended test passed with no errors. The smart attributes didn't change and the current pending sectors are still at 16

I woke up this morning to see some errors on my disk 1 array and a message showing current sector pending count increased. I'm currently running a smart extended test. Should I replace my disk1 drive? unnas-diagnostics-20210515-1336.zip

Enjoy your vacation! I'm not sure where to look in the code so I'll wait for your response next week on the details. Thank you!

Would it be possible to choose which cache pool to look at for the Only move at this threshold of used cache space I currently have a cache pool called "cache" which I use to store my appdata and for my downloads I use a cache pool called "scratch" and want the mover to be invoked when the downloads cache gets close to 75% full.

I don't have array autostart enabled. I waited maybe 1minute after being able to successfully SSH. This only started recently happening after upgrading my motherboard to one that supports iGPU. My motherboard has IPMI and I noticed that when trying to monitor the IPMI screen it shows no signal after booting. I have tried adding an empty file /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf This is where I think it's causing the issue where the UI is not loading properly until I restart it.
