  1. Dears, I need to add information to this topic as I believe it will be found usefull by many people in similar situation that is described here. I have old synology NAS and I wanted to have its share mounted to unraid via SMB. I created user, set password with medium complexity like "Vlado9674++-", synology was happy. I started adding new share in Unraid, selected WINDOWS, clicked Search for server, found synology, clicked on that, added user and entered password "Vlado9674++-" and was shown list of shares on synology. I selected one I needed and clicked OK. Share was added into Unraid page, but once I clicked MOUNT - I got error CIFS: Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE CIFS: VFS: \\SYNOLOGYMALY Send error in SessSetup = -13 CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13 I was desperate and tested all things which I found around, IP address instead of name of synology machine, changing versions of samba protocol, mount points, read only etc. And then I found sentence of DLANDON here: Avoid special characters in names and passwords. Letters and numbers only are the best. And you know what? When I changed synology user password from "Vlado9674++-" to "MBDo@w", suddenly it started to work. DLANDON - please can you elaborate more on why + and - are strange characters? As they are obviously. Many thanks and good luck V
  2. Dear Jorge, thanks it worked, I do not know why previously disk was labeled UDEV.
  3. Dears may I ask you for advice? I have NVMW disk 1TB which I want to run 2 VMs. I know how to passthrough full disk for usage in VM and I know how to passthrough full controller to VM. But my understanding is that those 2 methods, also preferred because there is no extra virtualization layer there, do not allow to run 2 VMs on that disk, am I right? If so, I wanted to create vdisk files on that NVME and run VMs in those files. But how to do that? What I see is on picture 1 - empty disk without format and partitions, where the only option is FORMAT. When I format as XFS, NVME changes its status to greyed UDEV label. I cannot mount or do anything else, see picture 2. When I try to create VM, I do not know what to select in primary vdisk location in order to be as vdisk file on that unassigned NVME disk. See picture 3. Can you please advice? Many thanks Vladimir
  4. Dears, I am not sure what is wrong - I am trying to access remote folder from Krusader and answer is Cannot open remote folder. Remote folder is NFS and it is old synology NAS. Strange is that when I go to Unraid web GUI and click on mounted NFS share, it shows me all the files, folders etc. Can you please advice? V.
  5. Hi, I am not sure I am given option to create is as qcow2?
  6. I see, so for .img file it is not possible, right?
  7. Dears, I created VM and created disk of 1TB in size, but when I check .img file, I see that it is small and it is enlarged as needed. I believe that for spped purposes it is better to assign full space to .img file since beginning. Am I right? And if so, how I can force unraid to create .img with full size since beginning? Many thanks V
  8. Dear friends another question, I have array of disks with filesystem ReiserFS encrypted, as it is abandoned system I need to change it to something else (XFS). Any advice how to do it? Many thanks V
  9. Hi friends, I have 2 parity drives and I want to remove one and make it normal data disk, can you advice? Thanks V
  10. Hi, I am planning to setup new unraid machine and I do not understand whether I can benefit anyhow from having Intel processor with graphics integrated? Can you advice? My primary usage is Plex docker. Many thanks V
  11. Dear friends I have been running unraid in 2 machines for some time with about 100 TB of space available, but both those machines were simply rebuildt expired, old, otherwise unusable servers from HP Proliant series. They are old, I am unable to insert NVIDIA decent card into it for conversion purposes and PLEX media server. Also they are back from before 2010, not good because of power consumption etc. So I decided to build nice and fresh machines as of 2023 and I would like to know your advice - would you be so kind to comment on my preliminary selection of components? 1. chasis - Fractal Design Define XL R2 Black Pearl - Link to my favorite local shop - it can really keep lot of disks 2. montherboard - GIGABYTE B650 GAMING X AX - Link to my favorite local shop - it has sound card however which I do not need 3. processor - AMD Ryzen 7 7700 - Link to my favorite local shop - TDP only 65W - 8 cores, 16 threads, however I do not need graphic card AMD Radeon Graphics which is in the processor - maybe useless to pay for this 4. memory - Kingston FURY 16GB DDR5 5600MHz CL36 Beast Black EXPO 2x - Link to my favorite local shop 5. cache - WD BLACK SN850 NVMe Heatsink pro PS5 2TB - Link to my favorite local shop Can you please comment and give me your suggestions? I am open to any good idea. Many thanks Vlado
