    I'm having this same problem with 6.12.8 and prefer to use DHCP (static assignment is set on the router). Is there something that can be done in Unraid to make Wireguard wait a bit before trying to start? For now I did this in a user script to start it at first start of the array but not sure it will work.

    No thoughts?

    When my server is downloading something with SAB, I notice that there is activity on the last core of my server, but everything but 0-1 and 8-9 are isolated to VM and there is no VM running. I even tried to PIN the CPU to 0-1 and 8-9 in the config of Docker, yet when it's active, there is activity on thread 7 which is the first thread of the last core. I know that it's the docker because as soon as the download is done, CPU use on that core is back to zero. Why would Unraid allow usage on an isolated CPU core when the configuration both in Unraid and on Docker says that it should be limited only to 0-1 and 8-9? nicknas2-diagnostics-20240309-1509.zip

    Actually just found this and it worked like a charm. It covers how to do it over the Internet but I don't really need that so I just configured the plugin and downloaded a WOL app from the App Store to send the magic packet to the MAC of the VM... already working, very easy!

    Is there any way to start a VM remotely? Like for example an easy button on my phone? I use my Windows 11 VM for gaming and don't like to just leave it running 24/7 so I do shut it down when I'm done but having to login to the Unraid GUI from my phone to start the VM is a bit cumbersome. Looking for a equivalent to like a "Power Button" for a Windows VM.

    This magically fixed itself and I'm honestly not sure how

    If you modify a share to exclude a drive in your array, will Mover move the data off that drive? I'm suspect one of my drives may be about to fail and want to replace it proactively without relying on parity rebuild so was going to move the data off it. Thanks

    I do understand that to continue offering new features and functionality, the company needs subscription revenue and it’s just the way of the world these days. Once Unraid hits a saturation point, not having subscription means either these folks are working for free or it dies. But I’d like to acknowledge the team also for bringing existing customers along and not forcing a subscription on us, it’s much appreciated. I’d say this is a pretty fair and equitable approach! Thank you!

    rebooted Mac and now Unraid, .8 did not help. Password is just letters and numbers and has worked for years
  10. nickp85
    nope it's actually quite basic and is working from other platforms such as Windows and Nvidia Shield
  11. nickp85
    Yes that's the one Also on the version, odd my server has no banner telling me an update is available but sure enough when I go to check for updates I see .8 but it takes me out to this new flow on unraid.net. Will get to updating shortly

    For some reason I am no longer able to connect from my Mac to Unraid shares using SMB including Time Machine. It prompts for login and I provide the username and password that has access and it keeps telling me it's wrong. I've even gone in to the Unraid console and changed the password for the user account to make sure I'm typing it right. Not sure when this started as I don't use my shares from Mac often. They seem to work from other devices like Windows, Nvidia Shield etc. Mac interoperability is enabled in SMB settings and I have not made any changes here, just normal Unraid updating. How can I get my Mac reconnected? nicknas2-diagnostics-20240218-1401.zip

    Ok, enough time and effort and I figured it out... I needed to add virbr0 as a listening interface in network settings. Wondering if an Unraid update took that out by default. I never had to do that before to my knowledge.

    Ok I think I figured out my Wireguard issue... somehow my DDNS client on router died and it wasn't keeping my DDNS name updated and ISP changed my public IP. The weird part is... Wireguard kept saying I was connected, to the old IP? How on earth would it even be able to establish a connection to a public IP I don't have anymore? Very strange.... Still need help with getting my VM to talk to the host on the virtual NIC.

    Looking for some help... I was using my Unraid box using a 192.168.50.x subnet on my home network and decided to go back to 192.168.1.x because one of my IOT devices was having a bit of trouble and I thought that may fix it based on what I read online. Well, everything is working except now when using my VM to access my Unraid server shares with an internal NIC on a different subnet, I get connection refused trying to access anything on the server. Also, when connecting with Wireguard from my iPhone, I cannot access anything hosted on Unraid from my device. It all seemed to work until the subnet was changed. I'm fairly sure I changed everything in Unraid and the routes/networks are correct, also on my router, but something isn't right. Wondering if I need to reapply something for it to work again. Attaching diagnostics for help nicknas2-diagnostics-20231110-0123.zip

    Since updating to the 6.12 series, my Mac can no longer backup using TimeMachine to the same share that worked previously. I can manually connect to the share, associate it in TimeMachine but when it tries to connect for the first backup, there is a connection error. Is there some special setting in 6.12 I need to flip to make this work? nicknas2-diagnostics-20230501-2153.zip

    One of my containers (sonarr) appeared to be hung with an error in the log "object reference not set the instance of an object". I tried to restart the container but continually got a server error pop up. I then tried to stop the entire docker service and it did stop however now I cannot restart it, it fails to start. My other containers appeared to be working except this one prior to me trying to restart the docker service in the GUI. I just updated to 6.12rc2 a couple days ago from 6.11.5 nicknas2-diagnostics-20230327-0003.zip Tried to reboot server and it's not rebooting, GUI is still accessible. Log line below is repeated in the logs. Mar 27 00:12:04 nicknas2 emhttpd: Unmounting disks... Mar 27 00:12:04 nicknas2 emhttpd: shcmd (462): umount /mnt/cache Mar 27 00:12:04 nicknas2 root: umount: /mnt/cache: target is busy. Mar 27 00:12:04 nicknas2 emhttpd: shcmd (462): exit status: 32 Mar 27 00:12:04 nicknas2 emhttpd: Retry unmounting disk share(s)... Update: Server finally appears to have forced itself to reboot after a long period of time (~5-10 mins) and it started a parity check automatically on boot I assume because it detected an unclean shut down. My docker containers are running including the offending one. I had never experienced such trouble until 6.12rc2 Update2: Might be worth mentioning I switched from macvlan to ipvlan the other day because of the common problem tool telling me I had call traces for macvlan so I should switch to ipvlan. Perhaps I should switch back?

    I've got a Windows 11 gaming VM and wanted to have a passed NIC for low latency applications like game streaming both from Nvidia cloud and also using sunshine/moonlight to stream from VM host to my Apple TV or Nvidia Shield in the living room. I also did not want to lose the raw speed of accessing the shares on the host from within the VM. I was able to configure a passthrough NIC as my main NIC and then add a virtio-net adapter using virbr0 interface. Then in the VM on the second NIC I manually configured the IP and removed the DNS and default gateway. I am able to access my host using the virbr0 default gateway IP and map the drive in Windows getting the full speed of virtio-net while all my other network connectivity is happening over the passthrough NIC. Not sure if anyone else wants to do something like but figured I'd comment that it was possible.

    @JorgeB - After a long while I think I discovered what triggers this. If you use a raw image file for your Windows VM and use cache = none, these errors start up pretty quickly from normal use of my gaming VM. Setting the caching to writeback seems to prevent further errors. Current config for the Windows OS disk which seems to prevent the errors. Was reading something online about how not using writeback for guests like Windows can be weird with btrfs because of how Windows writes to the disk. Solution was either to do a no cow in btrfs for the folder with the disk image, or simply use writeback/writethrough cache mode. <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback' io='threads' discard='unmap'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/Windows 11/windows11.img' index='2'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdc' bus='scsi'/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='scsi0-0-0-1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk>

    Having same problem, I use pi-hole and pipe my other dockers through it. After RC5 none of my dockers can use DNS hosted by pihole. Removing the custom DNS config from the container restores connectivity. Workaround above to toggle the setting and restart Docker did not help. update: on 6.11 stable problem still there. Toggling the host setting wasn't working however with docker off, I changed macvlan to ipvlan, saved and then change ipvlan back to macvlan and saved again then started docker. It seems to be working again. Definitely some weird config issue introduced with rc5

    Is it possible to update nvidia graphics card BIOS via unraid either through the host or when passed through to a VM. I've got an older 1080 Ti and just got a brand new Alienware GSync OLED monitor but having flickering when in GSYNC mode that wasn't present on my old monitor. A suggest was made to make sure my GPU BIOS is up to date. I found the latest for my model on techpowerup but not sure how to do it given the uniqueness of Unraid and a Windows 11 VM. Any help would be appreciated!

    Updated from v6.10 production directly to v6.11rc4. All seems to have gone well except I have this warning right next to the Unraid logo in the web GUI Warning: parse_ini_file(/usr/local/emhttp/state/flashbackup.ini): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/include/myservers2.phpon line552 nicknas2-diagnostics-20220903-1849.zip

    I have one Mac and it’s an M1 Max

    Yes multiple successful backups including a large one after installing 12.4. Nothing extra in my SMB options. I can confirm though I cannot browse through Finder for my Unraid shares. I have to use the Go menu to manually connect to them. Also, .local is not working anymore for some reason so I am using the DNS name configured on my router to reach the server. I manually connected to the TimeMachine share and then added the disk. Once I did that, it can find it again each time. My TimeMachine share is set to private but not hidden. #unassigned_devices_start #Unassigned devices share includes include = /tmp/unassigned.devices/smb-settings.conf #unassigned_devices_end #vfs_recycle_start #Recycle bin configuration [global] syslog only = Yes syslog = 0 logging = 0 log level = 0 vfs:0 #vfs_recycle_end

    same issue here, could no longer connect to my TimeMachine share and when remove the disk and look again for disk, nothing shows up. Was working on previous versions of 6.10. Actually, can't seem to connect to any SMB shares on Unraid from my Mac. I also did the 12.4 update this evening and it's broken both ways. **Update - I was able to mount the TimeMachine share manually in finder using smb://nicknas2.homenet (DNS domain on my router). It had previously been using nicknas2.local which doesn't appear to be working anymore. After manually connecting to the share and re-associating the disk in TimeMachine, it seems to have started trying to back up. Fingers crossed... **Update 2 - the backup ran to completion so now it's using the unraid server name with my router's DNS domain instead of .local. Will keep an eye on it
