<whew> Had a little scare after rebooting from safe mode. None of my drives showed up. I reverted the disk settings to default before I rebooted again. This time they came up. not sure if they are related. I will have to play around with it.

It does, except for the disk order. I assume [5:0:x:0] is the port number. They don't line up, but that doesn't really matter.

You're very welcome! Have you posted an updated version recently? I have scheduled downtime for tonight to run the Long Test.

You could go to 6.6.6. Surprisingly, that was a really good release.

openVMTools_compiled is now listed in Community Applications. You will need to delete your current plugin and install from CA if you wish to get update notifications. Thanks @Squid for all of your help!

This VM only exists for me to compile open-vm-tools, so its 99% virtual (I have a passed through licensed USB). My production box uses a passed-through LSI controller with 8TB drives. Hopefully I can run the tuning script on it soon.

Thanks, @Pauven! I can't remove all access to my production unRAID right now, but I wanted to test your script so ran it on my test VM.

Thanks for updating this! Best Bang for the Buck: Test 2 with a speed of 163.8 MB/s Tunable (md_num_stripes): 1408 Tunable (md_sync_window): 512 These settings will consume 66MB of RAM on your hardware. Unthrottled values for your server came from Test 14 with a speed of 173.3 MB/s Tunable (md_num_stripes): 4480 Tunable (md_sync_window): 2048 These settings will consume 210MB of RAM on your hardware. This is 18MB more than your current utilization of 192MB. NOTE: Adding additional drives will increase memory consumption. In unRAID, go to Settings > Disk Settings to set your chosen parameter values.

I was able to get a 9400-16i to work earlier this week. It has a SAS3416 controller. There are several threads talking about the 9305-24i.

I posted a couple of years ago that LDAP authentication would not work with this docker. Not sure whats changed, but I thought I would try it again and its working fine! Thanks.

Oh...I agree. I have a stack of 32GB SD cards in my drawer. The one that was installed was less than a year old though. Not a problem for me! I happened to run across a lot on eBay very cheap last year, so I bought it. I had planned on offering some for sale here, but never got around to it.

I wished it recognized my card reader. I had this very problem yesterday. I ended up having to use a fresh SD card, and prepare it the old way.

Updated for 6.7.1-rc2. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenDTX/unRAID-open-vm-tools/master/openVMTools_compiled.plg

Typo in kernel name fixed.

Open a console and type “uname -r” and post the result. There may be a typo in the plugin.
