Thank you for the reply @SpaceInvaderOne , and before I started just wanted to let you know that your videos have helped tremendously till this point. So, as you requested I disabled VFIO allow unsafe interrupts and PCIe ACS override and rebooted the server. Here are the IOMMU Groups. For ease of view and to save time for you I went ahead and highlighted the GPU and the USB hub I'm working with. Also as a test I tried something out prior to updating to 6.6.6 today. I logged out completely off windows on the VM, then shut it down. And to my surprise my server did NOT lock up. I would like to continue to figure out and test what the problem may be (as a admin stated this is probably hardware related) but for now that seems like the only work around I have at this time. Edit: After starting the aforementioned VM after this point, there was no error. I have not ran into an error starting it since a few crashes ago when I had my USB get corrupted and the VM needed to be re created. Since then there has been no problem starting it. Edit, spoke too soon. Crashed again after a shut down after logging out first.

That's very unfortunate to hear. I do have an Asus MOBO and can use the Gigabyte as a backup only, just to make sure I could use the same USB on another MOBO, correct? Any other changes I should/need to make other than the obvious? Edit: wanted to include that I'm also passing through a USB 3.0 hub as well with the board. I just read elsewhere that others had issues when the hub was included in the passthrough. Might be worth investigating.

Yes I did do this, it was my initial step in getting this rolling.

I'm still having trouble with this, at least someone could post how they are set up with a GPU and a VM so I could mirror it. Anything to stop the crashing.

Been posting here as well about this. I do need some help here with this as MSI interrupts did not help alleviate the issue. I need some guidance in order to have a windows 10 VM working with a GTX 1080 correctly and not cause crashes.

So I decided to shut down my VM today to do some maintenance and back up some things, seems the MSI interrupts did NOT work as it just crashed my server once again. I'm going to need some serious guidance on how to have this setup correctly because every VM shut down causing a crash is not going to work for me.

I didn't save the exact error, but basically after enabling it and restarting the server I could not start the VM. I went in and tried to edit the VM and it wouldn't let me make any changes ( had to make another VM with same vdisks, probably was corrupted some how). Since my last post I had another crash. I went ahead and forced a reboot, set MSI interrupts again and reboot. Started the array up and saw that some of the IOMMU groups changed. Edited the VM and it saved successfully, started up and now I'm just testing. Seems good SO FAR.

I've tried the MSI Interrupts and that caused some pretty bad errors. Luckily I backed everything up before I started that and was able to come back from it. Guess I could re create the VM and try this? @FalconX Have you had any more issues?

Thank you, I do like the stats so I've left the plugin. Patiently waiting!

So today after 6 days of having no problems restarting the VM I had to after a Nvidia gamestream issue. Restarted IN the VM and all the sudden the server just took a nose dive. Couldn't connect at all, completely locked up. Did a unclean reboot and everything is working fine again. Is there anything else I should be doing here with the W10 VM and nvidia gtx 1080? I don't want to worry about having to reboot the VM causing a hard crash.

Went back to 6.6.3, everythings working and after a few restarts of the VM there have been no crashes. Not sure if this is related to the 6.6.5 update or not but I'm sure I'll be staying here, at least for a while.

This is spammed in the syslog every time I have something download on my windows VM. Anyway to fix?

@misterwiggles keep me updated I'd like to see if this is solved for our MOBO. I'd like to use the 10G ports I have instead of using up a PCIe slot.

No problem, in retrospect I would have looked at something else if I had known. For now though, I need(want) to find a way to have it work. Is there anywhere I can ask to have X540-AT2 10G NIC support added ( if it's not ) to Unraid?

Thanks for looking into this a bit, is there any way you can let me know if the 10GbE NIC on the GIGABYTE - GA-7PESH2 is supported for 10G? According to the website it's the Intel® X540-AT2. Right now only getting stable connections via 1G on the same NIC.

@Hoopster I'm trying out your solution with creating a VLAN. Do I need to set anything up in my network to have this work with my VM. VM is on 192.168.0.0/24 where I setup the VLAN on 192.168.1.0/24. VLAN is br0.10 Anything else I need to do to have this work right? Thanks

Something was corrupt in the XML or something else causing weird issues trying to start it, thankfully I've backed up virt iso and all of my vdisks. I re created the VM and it's running fine. I'll update if it causes a crash again.

Thanks for the reply, I also found some information about MSI interrupts and implementing unsafe interrupts. I'm backing up the vdisks as we speak before I do anything drastic.

Noticed I'm using virtIO driver virtio-win-0.1.141-1.iso and there is virtio-win-0.1.160-1.iso available, would this be the cause of the issue I'm having?

As stated, this happens and then I can not connect to my server at all. Only thing I can do is reboot (unclean) and try again. Seems to be happening only when I shut down or reboot the VM. Using a GTX 1080 as the GPU If any more information is needed please let me know.

Update on my end: Using the LB6M with a 10G Base-T transceiver I stopped the array and tested. Seemed to be working fine so I started up the array. Next think you know the connection drops and there is no way to connect. So I tried a graceful reboot pressing the reset button which worked. Flaky connection after so I went back to aggregating two 1G ports instead. Maybe my intel ports aren't supported? Intel® X540-AT2 seems to be the NIC.

Glad I checked this forum before attempting an update. Will continue to monitor for a very stable version.

It never ended up saying result OK, but it seems to be working fine and viewing the share seems quicker than usual which is nice.

Seems it worked, here's what I got. Any need to be able to access that? Edit: I use the cloud storage purely for backup of everything, and have a copy I just tested both locally and on the cloud. Zero difference.
