Bump

Before anyone gets upset, I have already read many of the posts in the UnRaid forums on this topic and have had no luck. It may be because I am not using the cache drive like I have seen in the other posts I'm not sure, however I do want to have the shares exist on my array because I will be sharing a lot of data over my domain. I want to keep the shares out of my VM for access to dockers without having to add them to my domain as well. I have tried to use the domain features of UnRaid however since my controller is a VM in UnRaid I am unable to connect to my controller. My final attempt is to allow the shares into the VM and have my controller handle access. Now, without further adieu the problem. I am setting up the shares and disabling the samba server on UnRaid and having my domain controller . So what I am doing is mounting the shares in my controller however my transfer rates over the Ethernet is ~32 MB per second. I would like to get some help resolving this issue if possible. If anyone has a suggestion that may be better then what I am doing I may be open to that as well. See my configuration below. As for my hardware, the cache drives I'm using are Samsung 840 Pro's and my regular drives are WD Red 4TB NAS HDD. I do have the dreaded Marvell controllers which UnRaid says they can cause issues so that may be an issue here as well. Any help with this issue would be appreciated. fstab ## UnRaid Shares UnRaidISO /mnt/ISO 9p msize=262144,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,nobootwait,acl,user_xattr,rw,_netdev 0 0 UnRaidMedia /mnt/Media 9p msize=262144,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,nobootwait,acl,user_xattr,rw,_netdev 0 0 UnRaidApplications /mnt/Applications 9p msize=262144,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,nobootwait,acl,user_xattr,rw,_netdev 0 0 UnRaidBackup /mnt/Backup 9p msize=262144,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,nobootwait,acl,user_xattr,rw,_netdev 0 0 UnRaidDocuments /mnt/Documents 9p msize=262144,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,nobootwait,acl,user_xattr,rw,_netdev 0 0 VM Configuration <domain type='kvm' id='4'> <name>Zentyal</name> <uuid>de79a0fb-ce1f-4c30-49b4-5a2d8c2477f3</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="Ubuntu" icon="ubuntu.png" os="ubuntu"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>2</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='3'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.7'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/de79a0fb-ce1f-4c30-49b4-5a2d8c2477f3_VARS-pure-efi.fd</nvram> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/Zentyal/vdisk1.img'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='virtio-disk2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <alias name='usb'/> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <alias name='usb'/> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <alias name='usb'/> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='sata' index='0'> <alias name='ide'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pcie-root'> <alias name='pcie.0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge'> <model name='i82801b11-bridge'/> <alias name='pci.1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1e' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pci-bridge'> <model name='pci-bridge'/> <target chassisNr='2'/> <alias name='pci.2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </controller> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/mnt/user/Media/'/> <target dir='UnRaidMedia'/> <alias name='fs0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/mnt/user/Applications &amp;

primeval, I thought of using samba over the internet witch is why I tried to have it connect over my domain. Unfortunately it was a hassle to deal with workgroups and my domain since they don't really talk to each other. That is why I tried to connect it to my domain, unfortunately it also meant that I had to shutdown the VM and the array. Since it is something I am running at home having another server is not worth the effort nor do I have money to cover the cost. The issue I have here is really the degradation in performance. Switching to UnRaid, has dropped my performance from 300+ MB\s to 30, witch is an order of magnitude smaller. This should be able to perform much better, I'm not sure if it has to do with the VM or the file system, it may even be the way the interact with each other. I was reading other threads in this form and they were getting 100+ MB/S this should be able to do it as well. I will try putting a post on the other forum and see what I get. If not, I may just go bay to my Ubuntu server and kiss my 129 dollar investment good-buy. It would be a shame, there are some features of UnRaid I like. I also wish they would allow raid zero for matching drives it would give you performance that is comparable to raid 5 or 6. Anyways, thank for the response. ken-ji, In my case having another controller is not an option, since I run my server for my home not for a business. One of the reasons for changing to UnRaid is because I could test some of the new updates before I bring them live. I am using some beta software for my domain controller because it is free. having a second instance allowed me to decide what to update and what to wait on. Since i have been burned by updates in the past this would allow me to use the free bleeding edge community version for free and add some stability. These features would be nice to have, I'm not sure why they need to bring the array down to change the samba settings int he first place, it is what it is. I also have been starting to use Dockers more and I like the features they allow you to add. Over all it is a great product, it just might not be the thing for me. I appreciate the responses guys, it took some time but at least a couple of people responded.

Bump!

Its been a week since my last post and it would appear that no one knows how to solve my little dilemma or is interested in helping. In trying to get my UnRaid server up and running as my primary OS for my server I have decided to try another approach. I am setting up the shares and disabling the samba server on UnRaid and having my domain controller . So what I am doing is mounting the shares in my controller however my transfer rates over the Ethernet is ~32 MB per second. I would like to get some help resolving this issue if possible. If anyone has a suggestion that may be better then what I am doing I may be open to that as well. Se my configuration below. As for my hardware, the cache drives I'm using are Samsung 840 Pro's and my regular drives are WD Red 4TB NAS HDD. fstab ## UnRaid Shares UnRaidISO /mnt/ISO 9p msize=262144,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,nobootwait,acl,user_xattr,rw,_netdev 0 0 UnRaidMedia /mnt/Media 9p msize=262144,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,nobootwait,acl,user_xattr,rw,_netdev 0 0 UnRaidApplications /mnt/Applications 9p msize=262144,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,nobootwait,acl,user_xattr,rw,_netdev 0 0 UnRaidBackup /mnt/Backup 9p msize=262144,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,nobootwait,acl,user_xattr,rw,_netdev 0 0 UnRaidDocuments /mnt/Documents 9p msize=262144,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,nobootwait,acl,user_xattr,rw,_netdev 0 0 VM Configuration <domain type='kvm' id='4'> <name>Zentyal</name> <uuid>de79a0fb-ce1f-4c30-49b4-5a2d8c2477f3</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="Ubuntu" icon="ubuntu.png" os="ubuntu"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>2</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='3'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.7'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/de79a0fb-ce1f-4c30-49b4-5a2d8c2477f3_VARS-pure-efi.fd</nvram> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/Zentyal/vdisk1.img'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='virtio-disk2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <alias name='usb'/> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <alias name='usb'/> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <alias name='usb'/> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='sata' index='0'> <alias name='ide'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pcie-root'> <alias name='pcie.0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge'> <model name='i82801b11-bridge'/> <alias name='pci.1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1e' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pci-bridge'> <model name='pci-bridge'/> <target chassisNr='2'/> <alias name='pci.2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </controller> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/mnt/user/Media/'/> <target dir='UnRaidMedia'/> <alias name='fs0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/mnt/user/Applications &amp;

Hello, I am currently evaluating UnRaid to see if it will serve my needs. So far I am impressed it seem to be easy to use. However right now I'm having issues trying to add UnRaid to my domain, however my domain server is a VM that is being run under UnRaid's VM services. I think that UnRaid is stopping the disks and shutting down the server it needs to connect to before attempting to connect to it. This results in its inability to join the domain. Any help would be appreciated at this time, thanks in advance.
