FumblingintheDark

I found another post that said you could delete the vfio-pci.cfg file to remove the bindings but it didn't work. I found an old flashdrive back up on my laptop from 3 years ago. I put it in and the NIC works but the array wont start because it's so out of date.

I was trying to bind my 1070 and I think I clicked on the network adapter by mistake. Issue is now I can't get into to fix it. NIC doesn't work so I can use the web gui. I've tried using the GUI at the box but it's just a black screen. So far the only access I have is the flash drive itself and terminal. I don't know how to unbind it via the terminal and all attempts of me trying have failed. I just upgraded to 6.11 and removed the bindings from the Syslinux. Please help =(

I wasn't able to work on the server today. I'm curious if there are any settings that might be in the config that could cause an issue.

Interesting. I did not test Adobe Premiere. I'll test my current unraid set up with it to see if anything changes. If not I think I'll just have to start from scratch and rebuild.

Can you explain or link to where you had seen that tips and tricks interfered? I'm having my own issues with my OC where I can't start the array with an over clock or it fails.

Open a terminal and type " watch -n 1 grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo " See if you are seeing the OC'ed speed

It's a 4.6GHz OC on all cores. I used this "guide" if you will.... It's almost embarrassing how easy it was and how stable it is when I tested it.

What files should I share? I can post a copy of my flash. What files should I remove before posting the flash drive backup?

So I don't think it's the OC setting. The reason is that my current unraid config crashes however, a fresh install doesn't. I've also tested and I'm confident that OC is stable after a lot of testing in bare metal Win10. I think it's a issue with a config in my primary unraid install but I'm unsure what it might be. I might have narrowed it down as when I copied over network configs, drive assignments, drive settings, and share settings the server started to crash again.

So I was able to run the server OCed on a fresh install of unraid. I took 3 random drives I had laying around to create an array and was able to start and stop it with out it failing. I also verified that the CPU was reaching 4.6GHz (the OC) in unraid. Now I just need to figure out what configuration is causing it to crash. Any ideas on where to look?

The issue I'm having is they if I try to adjust clock speeds what so ever unraid will crash when I start the array. I can boot into unraid, I can even start the array in maintenance mode. I'm trying to figure out why this is.

I noticed in System Profiler that it states max speed 4GHz. Is this coded into unriad and is it modifiable?

I've added some files to hopefully help in the troubleshooting. I've noticed w/o the OC on the "watch -n 1 grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo" will show the speed get to 3.9GHz with the very rare 4GHz. I really have no idea why those are the chosen speeds seeing that the 7980xe has a base of 2.6GHz, Max Turbo of 4.2GHz, and a Turbo 3.0 of 4.4GHz. I've seen sites say the all core boost is 3.4GHz syslog.txt lscpu.txt syslog

I wouldn't call it sever grade. It's just a server in function.

Currently with no OC everything works. I just wonder if in the past when trying to get turbo boost or some other out of the box thing to work I added a line of code or something that is causing the issue. Unraid has come so far that a lot of things you had to mod a file is now a simple mouse click.

When I first built this server I was always under the impression the overclock was applied and working. However due to some issue with USB shorting out that caused the server to not boot at all, it was offline for a few months. I made due till recently and decided to get it back up and running. In the trouble shooting process I cleared the CMOS. I figured out that it was the USB when I removed the server from the rack and set it up on my desk. It booted first try. I used an extra SSD with a windows install to test all the hardware. I reapplied the OC and updated the BIOS. I continued to stress test it for about a week until I was confident it was stable. I have now reinstalled the server into the rack. Unfortunately when I try to start the array in unraid the server will crash and restart. Any overclock even the simple multi core enhancement will result in the array failing to start. It's late now but tomorrow I plan on trying to start the array with VMs not auto starting to see if it's a VM issue. I was also thinking about starting fresh as I know early unraid involved messing around with XML files for CPU pinning and GPU pass through as well as random other tweaks that I've made to get some random thing to work. All thoughts and guidance welcome with the exception of "overclocking = unstable = bad idea". If I can't get it to work in the end, I'll just have to suck it up, but I'm going to try! Let me know if there is anything I can provide to assist in troubleshooting. Thank you in advance!

Anyone? =(

Has anyone had any luck setting up GNS3 on unraid and if so, how? I was able to install the VM for GNS3 but it freezes on the loading page.

Did you ever find an answer?

I know this thread is old but this has worked like a charm for me. Only question I have now is can you mount the same vdisk on 2 VMs simultaneously?
