  1. I am very interested with this topic, though I don't own a Qnap. I am wondering why you need to breath new life to old Qnap with Unraid. I am looking to buy a Qnap.

     

    What are the reasons? 

     

    If to use Docker, can you not run docker on a separate box, Intel NUC or Lenovo Tiny, and have it save data on the Qnap raid? I assume the Raid still performs as day 1 you bought the device? So that wouldn't be the reason.

  2. My current build is Xeon E5-1650 v3, on Supermicro X10SRM-TF.  It's somewhat perfect.  I have a 1050Ti passed through for use on gaming vm.  With GPUs so expensive, I don't want to buy a video card right now.  I toyed with the idea of having Emby server on a single board computer.  Having Emby server on SBC accessing shows on my NAS.  But I don't know which SBC is capable of having hardware transcode enabled.  Can anyone suggest?

     

     

     

  3. Isn't it supposed to work immediately when I replace my cable?  Since connection was restored, and no re-assignment of other drives?  Since I didn't replace drives, how do I change status of disabled to enabled, and allow it to rebuild?

     

    Noted on the cache disk.  Indeed, my docker containers stopped working.  I was wondering why.  While replacing the cable, I pulled on the SATA cable of my cache drive.  Went back to reseat the SATA power, it works normally now.  Thanks!

    Disk 3 is the one that is disabled currently.  And here I thought there is only 1 drive that has reallocated sectors.  Turns out more than 1.  By myself, where do I check and keep tract of reallocated sectors?  Does it need to be through exported diagnostics?  Or What term do I search for in Smart disk info?  

     

    I was informed by JorgeB in my earlier posts that my cable may be the culprit.  I did replace it with one that was lying there.  Could it still be the cable problem? I have bought another as spare.  Could it still be a cable problem that's why Disk 3 was disabled, and Parity produced errors?

     

    Please advise what to do next.  

  5. When you say connection problem, do you mean cable problem?  In another post, I mentioned that I encountered problem with drive, and you pointed out that cable problem.  I did change the cable, and seems to work fine, except the thumbs down happened.  Could this mean my replacement cable (2nd one) might have problems as well?  I bought another new one, if needed to replace another.

     

    If I do acknowledge it, and no more thumbs down happens, it means it didn't increase?  If a new thumbs down happened, it means there are new changes?

  6. When I hover on top, it shows:

     

    Reallocated sector count: 48
    UDMA CRC error count: 4

     

    Are these reasons for concern?  I've used Seagate Tools to verify drive integrity, they did pass the long generic test, without LBA reallocation--can't recall the exact term.  Out of 6, all but 1 had LBA reallocation.  But I wonder why when connected to Unraid, I have 3 thumbs down, each with their own reallocated sector count...  

     

    I always thought it was just the HDD getting too hot, hence a thumbs down.  Does this mean the drives are about to fail?  I just recently bought them off ebay, a good deal.  I'd hate to see them go without using it for a few years.

     

  7. I first setup the VM using Q35-5.1/ SeaBIOS, via VNC.  After finish installation, I shut it down, and selected RX560 graphics, and autio.  It immediately boot up on my monitor, up to login portion.  I tried to enter keys, and move mouse, neither will work.  If I do start the VM without keyboard and mouse selected, it won't boot with graphics on my monitor.  I have to use USB Hotplug plugin to detach, then attach my usb keyboard and mouse before it works.  What could be the problem? 

     

    Edit:  After a few seconds of attaching the USB, the VM hangs.  

     

    Edit 2: Reinstalled a new VM with Q35-5.1/ with OVMF with the same result.  Upon finishing installation, shutdown vm, and passed through gpu.  The monitor boots up, keyboard and mouse not working.  

     

    Tried several things, reverting to VNC, boot up, and everything is fine.  Go back to passthrough, this time around, it doesn't hang.  But nothing shows up in monitor.  RDP onto the VM shows it doesn't have the GPU on Device Manager.  Several consecutive reboots, still don't have the GPU in Device Manager.  Tried installing AMD driver, but says GPU not found.  

     

    When revert back to vnc, and sometimes, when go back to gpu pass through, monitor turns on, reaches windows, and the whole cycle repeats again.

     

    Edit 3:  I have another Windows VM, used to be i440fx with GTX1080 card.  Since I replaced my GTX 1080 with RX560, I edited the vm, and selected Q35.  It started up, with display on my monitor, passthrough was working.  But 1 minute after it boots into Windows 10, it hangs.  Did this several times, with exactly the same results.

     

    What more can I change to keep it from hanging?
