So basically Fedora VMs don't work well in unRAID? I notice Fedora is not as snappy as Ubuntu.

Biggest problem with this is that the backup is on the array. If your flash drive fails, you probably will not be able to boot up the server to get at it.
Can't you just use a live Linux USB drive to boot into, e.g. Fedora or Ubuntu, and mount the drive(s) where the backup files are located? That's one of the things I love about unRAID: normal filesystems (unlike FreeNAS).

Where are the binaries for these programs saved / retrieved from? Or does NerdPack pull the source code and compile locally when you toggle a program/library on?

I just ordered this board to upgrade my AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400 rig that's 12 years old... Bought a 2700X last Christmas for $170 and finally getting around to this upgrade.
Have you had any issues? What ECC RAM did you get?

Did you ever complete this build?

I ran a manual check on a drive and got a lot of BLAKE2 hash key mismatches (mostly .nfo files modified). I received the details in a notification email, but there's no log file in /boot/config/plugins/dynamix.file.integrity/logs , even though I do have error logging set to "Syslog & Output File". I also have log files and email notifications from 2018/2019, so I know it was working correctly at some point.
Are log files not created when the check is run manually (as opposed scheduled daily/weekly/monthly)? I have 14GB free on my flash drive, so it's not an issue of usable space.
What gives? What do you suggest?

you could move both TV and Movies folders up on level so they would become shares.
Can you do this in terminal / mc by moving /mnt/user/Media/Movies to /mnt/user/Movies ? That is, you can create shares by simply moving or creating folders inside /mnt/user/ ? Do you risk screwing up your other data by manipulating files directly inside /mnt/user/, a la the User Share Copy bug?

The file from the lowest numbered disk is the one that shows up in the Photos user share. No problems otherwise.
So I don't have to worry about overwriting random file data or parity data in this situation? I guess the Parity is being updated when this file transaction occurs, but it would be a legitimate parity update, right (i.e. both files would be 'protected' by my parity)?

I know that you should never copy/move between disks and user shares (e.g. from /mnt/disk1/Share1/File1 to /mnt/user/Share1/whatever/File1), but I'm wondering about moving (i.e. copy, then delete) files from one disk to another. For important files like personal photos, I prefer to copy, then compare checksums, then delete the source (rather than just use `mv`).
If I copy a file as follows, what happens? (assuming I have a share "Photos" with both those disks included)
SRC: /mnt/disk1/Photos/Pic1.jpg
DST: /mnt/disk2/Photos/Pic1.jpg
Now you have 2 versions of the same file in 'identical' locations within the Share. Is this a situation that should be avoided? What exactly happens?

I am just finishing up the build right now, planning to boot it up in the morning. I didnt really look for server motherboards, but I would suspect the answer is no since the 2700 isnt really a server processor (EPYC) or even the enthusiast grade (thread ripper). Based on my research the motherboard I chose does support ECC RAM, and linux does report that the RAM has multibit error correction available.
One warning though if you go with a board like mine, that needs a bios update to support the 2700, be prepared for a headache. Even though i was assured multiple times by the retailer that the bios would and was updated for my processor, it was not.
How has this build been working for you? I take it the Gigabyte GA-AX370-GAMING 5 does successfully use the RAM in ECC mode with the 2700X?

Upgrading my build from an ancient AMD Athlon 64 X2... Picked up a Ryzen 7 2700X, and intend to eventually upgrade to a 4th gen Ryzen. So I was thinking to get an X570 board. I really want to use ECC, mainly to help preserve my hundreds of thousands of family photos/videos.
This thread seems pretty conclusive that ECC either doesn't work at all, or at least the detection/reporting doesn't: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/88613-is-ecc-working-on-x570-unraid/?tab=comments#comment-822702
I may also want to try for GPU pass-through to make this a streaming gaming rig.
Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions?

@PhantomXiii I picked up a Ryzen 2700X and trying to determine a motherboard that supports ECC and is easy to get GPU pass-through working. I may eventually upgrade the CPU to 4th gen Ryzen, so was thinking X570 chipset. Did you finish your Ryzen build? What motherboard(s) did you look at?

@PhantomXiii what motherboard? Did you have trouble getting GPU pass-through to work for gaming?

Upgraded my docker containers and then my machine locked up a few hours later. I let it run for a day or so, hoping it might power through whatever it was doing, but eventually power cycled it (just via reset button; not power down/up). I have not had lockup/freeze problems in the past.
Then, "Fix Common Problems" alerted me of the unclean shutdown (as expected) and also of "Call Traces found on your server".
I've attached my syslog.txt. Can anyone interpret or deduce something useful from the log? I can attach other files from the diagnostic zip, if necessary.
Manipulating with files via VM - better to use SMB shares or to set up "Unraid Share" in the VM config?

I see the file permissions and ownership are slightly different between these two options.
Using Unraid Share, since no credentials are specified, files appear to use the uid and gid number of the user from the VM that created them (when viewing natively in unRAID). That is, if my user in the VM has uid/gid=1003 and I touch a file in the VM in this direct share mount, running 'stat' directly on unRAID shows the uid/gid as 1003 and permissions 0664 (rw-rw-r--). Since unRAID groups start at 100 and Ubuntu (for example) groups start at 1000, the gid for files are basically invalid for direct unRAID access (not that I think it really matters).
Using SMB share, files are saved using the uid/gid of the unRAID user account that is used to log in to the share. And they're also saved with 0666 permissions (rw-rw-rw-)
Which of these is preferable or does it not really matter?
I assume the two methods are equal in performance, i.e., the VM using SMB does not actually traverse my network but rather only uses the virtual network which (I understand) is equivalent to direct access.
