  1. I read , watched some reviews and knew that 50-60MB/s is normal write speed for this WD Green ssd! O.o

     

    do not repeat my mistakes do not buy them!!!!:-[

    this is write from vdisk to cache

    this is write from vdisk to array with parity!!!! wd blue 1TB 7200rpm

  2. Hi guys, I recently ran into a problem. I run win 10vm on unraid and use ssd cache pool of two cheap wd green 120gb for vdisk, docker and appdata.

    recently noticed a strange thing:

    when I copy files from cache pool to vdisk the speed is slow (45-50MB/s)

    when I copy files from vdisk to cache pool - same speed!

    when I copy files from vdisk to array and vice versa, speed is 170MB/s

    why array is faster than cache??? are these WD green so slow??

    tried changing fx440, q35

    vdisk share - "cache only"

    appdata share - "cache only"

    system share - "cache only"

    what I missed?

    TRIM every 8 hours, 50GB free space

     

    UPD: using MC I tried to copy big file direct from array to cache (/mnt/user/backup > /mnt/cache) 55MB/s !

     

    very much like low ssd disks performance or btrfs raid1 performance!

    what tests do you recommend to do? 

    should i try convert pool to single device for additional speed tests?

    @vanes, yes, I know the same.  To re-phrase my question, if you already assign onboard gpu to Plex to be used when transcoding is needed, on occasions that it's not needed, can it be assigned to Libreelec when you start the VM?  Or will it be permanently dedicated, and can't be assigned on-the-fly when you turn on Libreelec vm?

    you want to passthrough integrated graphics to vm! u shoud read 

    I could not make it work on my kaby-lake i5-7400  b250 MB

     

    I think there will no be assignment on-the-fly, or VM or i915! 

    maybe I'm wrong, correct

  4. intel hd graphics is not needed to direct stream to devices that can natively play it!

    for example: 4k hevc movie on 4k tv, that support it natively, wil play as direct stream

    same movie on 1080p-tv that cannot support hevc/4k will need to be transcoded

  5. Plex/emby can transcode in docker container with "--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri" in extra parameters and activated i915 in go file in unraid!

    tested on asrock j4205 (intel hd505) and i5-7400 (intel hd630) on both works perfect!!

    i played 4k hevc 10bit in web browser and had 30% cpu util on j4205 tiny board.

  6. I'm with partial success passed through intel HD 505 (asrock j4205), but It suffer from a error 43 when install intel video drivers.

    Tried different drivers, from asrock, intel, windows update - no success, i see intel device in device manager in windows but it doesn`t work!

    hyper-v - on/off (no difference)

    vm run in Seabios and i440fx in legacy mode and no other way to start vm except Seabios and i440fx

  7. unfortunately, I confirm SHFS memory leaks when using torrents (transmission, in my case)

    I usually use the torrent to the ratio of 2, and they stop seeding

    but yesterday i removed restrictions and began to seed avg speed was 1-2 MB/s and after 5-6hours i got 85% of memory usage (at the beginnign of the test it was 75% usage)

    i have all symptoms as described above

    @limetech is worth paying attention to this

  8. My common sense dictates that I need MB that support ipmi and have hdmi or displayport output =)

     

    i read supermicro x11-sae-f manual and found that there are tons of vga/graphics/ settings:

    https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/motherboard/C236/MNL-1820.pdf

     

    Onboard VGA Enable/Disable (JPG1)

     

    Primary Display

    Use this feature to select the graphics device to be used as the primary display. The options are Auto, IGFX, PEG, and PCIE.

     

    Primary PEG

    This feature allows the user to select the primary PCI Express Graphics (PEG) slot. The options are Auto, CPU SLOT6 PCI-E 3.0 X16, and CPU SLOT4 PCI-E 3.0 X8 (IN X16).

     

    Primary PCIE (PCI-Express Graphics)

    This feature allows the user to specify which graphics card to be used as the primary graphics card. The options are Auto, Onboard, PCH Slot3 PCI-E 3.0 X1, and PCH Slot7 PCI-E 3.0 X1.

     

    Internal Graphics

    Select Auto to keep an internal graphics device installed on an expansion slot supported by the CPU to be automatically enabled. The options are Auto, Disabled, and Enabled

     

    It is necessary to study all this for a longer time, but it seemed to be that this board can do what i want.....

    I will just need to set iGFX as a primary display and all will work!

    @Hoopster , Thank you very much for your responsiveness.

  9. when you write "onboard graphics" you mean aspeed 2400 or intel HD 630?

    I don't want to passthrough aspeed 2400 or HD630 to vm

    I need:

    1. working ipmi

    2. passedthrough to VM PCI-E GTX1050

    3. working intel HD630 in unraid (activate i915 in go file for plex/emby transcoding)

     

    Can it be realized on asrock E3C236D4U or some other MB on c236 chipset??

  10. I looked at the manuals from Asrockrack site and not a word there about intel HD graphics, just this:

    236.jpg.8a869a4c2e69b02b2cb42d5801abd1a4.jpg

     

    correct if I'm not right

    If i set primary graphics adapter to onboard (i need it for passthrough), onboard vga option became inactive and i have Aspeed(primary)+Pci-e( vm passthrough) and no HD Graphics! But if i set primary graphics adapter to pci-e, onboard vga option became active and allow to use hd graphics??? Is intel hd graphics works only when primary adapter is pci-e??? my mind is broken %)

    Perhaps a board like the Supermicro

    i look at X11SAE-F

  11. Hi, I recently decided to switch from my mini asrock j4205 box to something bigger ... I think to build on c236 chipset and xeon e3-1225 v6. I want board with ipmi.

     

    i want to use intel IGD for plex/emby transcode and passthrough my GTX1050ti for my daily/gaming win 10vm. 

     

    I can not figure out how three video controller will work (ipmi-aspeed, intel IGD, GTX1050ti)!

     

    Suppose I bought a server board with only vga output for ipmi (asrock E3C236D4U), i set onboard primary graphics adapter (aspeed) in bios for passthough my gtx1050.

    then i will activate i915 in go file....... Will i915 work whith aspeed set primary in bios???

     

    i did tests on my home pc (i5-7400, GTX-1050ti, NO aspeed)! IGD was set as primary in bios, i915 activated in go file for plex, GTX1050ti-passedthrough VM! Everything works perfect, but what will be there if ASpeed video will be primary??? Sorry for my english =))

     

    I'm afraid that I can not simultaneously use intel hd 630 and ipmi aspeed......
