  1. I'm just another lost soul who found your post and it worked perfectly, i wanted to say thank you! Add me to the list of fools who spent HOURS trying to fix this themselves - unsuccessfully. depends how you're getting to it i think. @ghost82 broke it down pretty well right there, i think.
  2. just wanted to say thanks, i don't know how long i would have futz around before I tried a reboot. lol.
  3. my server is called tower. I have a dns entry for it, and had a nginx Proxy host set up for it. I was seeing the same thing. I got rid of the tower proxy host, created a proxy host for "unraid" and a coresponding dns entry.....I did this around midnight last night and haven't seen a single Exited on signal 6 all day. I've also had many tabs open to my unraid dns and a whole bunch, maybe ALL of the docker containers i created proxys for. i'm not sure WHY that'd fix it....but it seems to have worked for me. I also posted about it here: but wanted to suggest it in both threads i found when trying to troubleshoot the issue. I'd love to hear if that helps for other people....
  4. on the one hand i hope this helps someone (myself included) on the other hand, i'm afraid i'll show off my ignorance with the things i'm about to say. I'm not sure if i'm the only one who did this...but i *THINK* this might have been my problem. I was watching my logs to make sure they weren't doing the "exited on signal 6" thing. but...of course it was if Nginx was running. I have a proxy host set up for tower, cuz...duh, of course. and i got to thinking ...if maybe somehow that DNS name was interfering somehow? I'm not a networking guy per se, but i was resolving the hostname tower for a long time before i set up nginx. now, of course when i use Putty to connect i go to tower over port 22, but could the name resolution be being forwarded to nginx? I don't think so....but like i said, i'm not a networking guy. anyway, i disabled the forwarder for tower and the messages seem to have stopped. Made a new DNS entry for Unraid and it seems to work just fine. now maybe just a matter of getting out of the tower habit? can anyone else confirm similar stuff?
  5. hey @jademonkee did you have to DO anything? I feel like i'm having a real similar issue. I had some system problems around the beginning of the month and now that i'm stable again, I keep seeing "Synchronizing block information" but it climbs to 100% then just starts over. It looks like i changed the memory in the RIGHT place 😉 a few days ago to 3072 from 2048 which had been working fine. or did you just let it sit and after a LONG time it finally got itself all synced up and is working correctly?
  6. i was nervous with only 1 person posting this, but took the plunge this morning and am please to report that i'm also doing pretty well with 5603! Unraid still has an IOMMU group (13 for me) totally locked down...and that group has both of my NICs. I like to pass through a physical NIC to one of my VMs, so that kinda sucks, but....Fix Common Problems says i don't have any problems....so that's pretty sweet....i guess.
  7. my favorite thing is physical passthrough of hardware to vms I'd like to see some more options in the GUI vm editor so I wouldn't have to go into the XML editor so much
  8. I'm constantly talking about this software to friends and coworkers. Been around since the 4.5 days..... The whole experience just keeps improving! Keep it up!
  9. did you figure anything out with this? i get the same thing on every share i've tried. I finally tried setting up Unraid with AD again....and I got it the server to join the domain..but having trouble with permissions on the windows side. Edit: looks like in the Tools\New Permissions you have the option to reset the permissions on a share. sorry for dredging this old topic up.
  10. I don't know why, but I never did this. maybe too many people saying MSI didn't work for them, but after just upgrading my RAM to where i could give my gaming VM a full 16gb all the time I decided to finally take action. I had always avoided doing this because the sound was OK, but...would drift.... after seeing your post which basically said "make sure you're doing it on the sound part of the HDMI" i went in and did it on my HDMI audio and my onboard audio (which i'm actually using). when I realized it was a windows registry key.....OMG...I'm pissed at myself that I didn't do this like 6 months ago when i built the vm! it was SO easy...I am employed working in the Windows World, so... a reg change doesn't scare me. I just never read into it. Anyway.... your post armed me with a tiny extra piece of info that gave me the courage to delve in. it's so weird how we psych ourselves out with stuff like that. Anyway....just wanted to thank you.
  11. So here's my situation. I've wanted to upgrade and kind of overhaul my Unraid box for a couple years now...but life keeps screwing me over and money's been tight. So my wife sees me wanting this and I'd been talking about it and she says "what would you need?" and I just blurted out a motherboard, memory and CPU. A few days later, her mom has bought me a new Asus X370-Pro mobo, and a Ryzen 1700 CPU. I had to go pick up some RAM, but..got 2 8gb sticks to start out with at a decent price. I pulled the "good" video card out of my old gaming PC as I wanted to replace it with the unraid box and do a gaming VM. The "good" video card is a Geforce 9800 GTX+. which Wikipedia says is 9 years old. And doesn't seem to be enough to play Doom 2016, which I snagged on sale from Steam for 15 bucks a few weeks ago! it starts and then crashes with a “FATAL ERROR: wglCreateContextAttribsARB failed”, which bethesda addresses: http://help.bethesda.net/app/answers/detail/a_id/33141/~/what-do-i-do-if-get-an-error-stating-“fatal-error%3A-wglcreatecontextattribsarb I don't even get the options it suggests me making changes to. So I got that video card to pass through to a Win10 Gaming VM..but it's been REALLY shakey. I've had to modify my syslinux.cfg and enable PCIe ACS Override to get it done, mostly I think because of how Ryzen/AMD is handling IOMMU groupings....and it seems like this video card doesn't want to reset. So I've had instances where I reset the Windows VM and all of unraid reboots (not good at all) and after I powered off the VM yesterday (didn't cause a reboot of the whole box, hooray!) but the VM wouldn't power back on, throwing an "internal error: Unknown PCI header type '127'" error. if I edit the VM and use vnc it boots right up. So, I power cycled the unraid box, and got that VM to boot again. So it's like a 1 time use, then I have to reboot the VM because (i think) the video card isn't resetting. guess it's the same issue lotte is having here: so....I *think* i need a new video card...and I know Nvidia cards seem to be tricky with passthrough to VMs. Would I be better off Getting an AMD? is there any potential increase in compatibility with an AMD Proc & Video card? Any advice would be appreciated.
  12. Oh God....now I think I really f'd up. Wanted to watch a movie tonight so I set the array back to exactly how it used to be. It wanted to rebuild the parity drive....so I set everything back to how it used to be..... excluding disk 4.... exactly how it was.....and started the array. None of the users shares are available. Nothing is. Did I just wipe out my entire array somehow?
  13. I've actually moved 8 to 4 after telling the array to retain the current config. I've been running the array with the missing Disk 4 for almost a week, but I'm terrified to start the array. Any advice is appreciated.
  14. that's exactly what I'm saying. So, like I asked in my first post, should I move the old 5 to where 4 was, 6 to 5, 7 to 6 and 8 to 7, or just remove 8, and move it to where 4 was? Moving 8 to 4 seems like a smaller change, but....is there a "better way"?
  15. That's correct. When I start the array, that's what it says Disk 4 unmountable. I totally didn't really read what you said since I was out and about, but this is the exact behavior I'm seeing. I did unassign it before starting the array. The array is mounted, and right in the middle I have a big unpleasant missing drive. So this is proper? Since I'll be removing even more drives later, is there a way to clean this up? Thanks for clearing that up for me!
