  1. i have a hp mediasmart ex470 that i am trying to get fully functional with unraid

    the issue seems to be with the driver. it doesnt connect at the full speed

    this post has info on the same problem i have run into 

    other than using a usb dongle, what can i do to get this working? I have no experience compiling kernels, but there is another post describing changes that would have to be made to an older kernel to get it functioning here https://www.howtoforge.com/creating-the-sis191-gigabit-ethernet-driver-on-linux-2.6

    I have attached my diagnostic log. i have tried both Version: 6.9.0-rc2 and 6.9.0

    hpstorage-syslog-20210302-2251.zip

  2. ok...

    my 4gb of ddr2 ram must have failed. got the 2 blue and 2 red after pressing the pinhole button in the front

    currently waiting for a AMD Athlon 64 X2 3250e to be delivered, so i needed to tear it apart anyways

    but i changed to a 2gb ddr2 800mhz. havent run the memtest86+ on the new ram but my issue with not being able to activate the trial key is gone.

    with 6.9.0-rc2  the link speed on my adapter 100

    00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 01)

    Mar 2 14:45:43 HPSTORAGE kernel: sis190: sis190 Gigabit Ethernet driver 1.4 loaded

    Mar 2 14:45:43 HPSTORAGE kernel: sis190: 0000:00:04.0: Read MAC address from EEPROM

    Mar 2 14:45:55 HPSTORAGE kernel: sis190 0000:00:04.0 eth0: mii ext = 0000

    Mar 2 14:45:55 HPSTORAGE kernel: sis190 0000:00:04.0 eth0: mii lpa=c5e1 adv=01e1 exp=000f

    Mar 2 14:45:55 HPSTORAGE kernel: sis190 0000:00:04.0 eth0: link on 1000 Mbps Full Duplex mode

    Mar 2 14:45:55 HPSTORAGE dhcpcd[1294]: br0: carrier acquired

    Mar 2 14:45:55 HPSTORAGE kernel: bond0: (slave eth0): link status definitely up, 100 Mbps full duplex

    Mar 2 14:45:55 HPSTORAGE kernel: bond0: (slave eth0): making interface the new active one

    so i am back to not connecting at 1gbit

    Thank you so much for this 

    Unraid Version: 6.9.0-rc2
    Currently all 4x disk (test server) are detected
    I plugged in a SSD disk to the ESATA port (cache disk) on the back of the HP EX470 (modded system) and it detected
    Currently started the array and waiting to test over the next month.

    If all goes well grabbing another license!

    LOVE YOU UNRAID!!!!

    I have attached a photo of my test rig of disk I had laying around.
    Glad to see this old NAS (that really sucks as a stock NAS) is working with the golden UnRaid OS, with support (tested) up to 10TB

     How did you get the network port to run at full speed? it is super flaky and mine wont even register the trial license.

    It has an SiS 191 chipset

  4. I have the same server that I picked up from a thrift store for $30. just upgraded the ram and cpu's. I made my own custom cable and extended the dvd one. I also added a del lsi 9202-8i card and flashed it to IT mode so I would have enough connections for 14 drives but I'm only using 12. I have a generic icy dock made by evercool called EVERCOOL ARMOR HD-AR-R-BK. I have two plastic trays that fit in the pcie slots holding my ssd's for my cache array. What I am having a problem with is the cpu and power management. I don't believe the cpu's are throttling at idle which is making the server too hot and the fan is running at turbo. I also added two 120mm fans to the back of the drive cage and one that blows on the pcie slots. I also added 2 old cpu fans held on by zip ties to the heatsinks that are being controlled by a small temperature sensing board. What are you using to monitor the temps and what settings are you using in the bios for the power management?

    Because of the lack of pcie 3.0 for modern video cards and this heat/noise issue I'm about to just build a system using  a Chinese x99 motherboard and 1 or 2 Xeon E5-2678 v3 12 core cpu's

    So, bit of an update here. The Zotac P106-90 Card just arrived. (Looks like crap, but might still work.) For $30 on eBay, worth the shot. I might be able to do something with a "folding" computational machine, if nothing else. And if it's a working card, and I can't do anything with it, back on eBay it goes at a really good price. (shrug) Hardly a loss when I think about it- as I will have learned something.

     

    Reminder: My goal is PLEX Transcoding within a Docker using the NVIDIA port of unRAID;  not to run a gaming Windows 10 VM.

    (Sorry if that disappoints, but hey... these are my priorities.)

     

    And yes, I've seen the LTT discussion, and the potentials for unlocking the NVENC hardware decoder. Still working my way through some of those posts on REDDIT, and none of them actually gave it a "fair shot" on linux imho. And considering all risks involved, that's maybe not a huge thing. If I do this, it's going to be on tested on a rig I have with a unRAID 30-day trial license first. Not going to risk my main system on this "thing" (yet.) If I do get it to work, my goal is going to be testing PLEX with H.265 NVENC for some 4K files, and see what happens.

     

    Heck, to be honest, I really just want a few streams of 1080p to be cast to some TVs on gigabit lan set up, and maybe speed up some other offerings like the BOINC protein folding for nCOVID-19 project.

     

    It's probably going to be 30-60 days before I get any real results, so be patient. (Just got news that I am moving to a rental house for a year while we do a major home reno! So I get to move all my LAN and Server gear... so - Press [F] to pay Respect! to my bank account... ow.)

    so i am interested in doing the same. i have a limited budget and was looking into a quadro p600 or a 1050 ti but right now they go for $100+ used and $200 new. the mining card for $50 or less is more appealing since i would only use it for plex transcoding anyways

  6. First I have to say thank you. I have been ripping my hair out trying to get gpu passthrough working on my ryzen 2600 on a b450m with a Vega 56 and a Rx 550. Thanks to your patched kernel,  I can start the VM with the Vega fine an put it to sleep or reboot it fine, but when I shut it down within a few min the fan goes turbo on the Vega and even after using the server standby script to reset my gpu from spaceinvader1 the GPU is disconnected but doesn't reconnect and I am unable to start the VM untill I reboot.

  7. i got it working

    docker run 
    -d 
    --name telly 
    -p 6077:6077/tcp 
    -v /home/lbeavisc/appdata/telly/tmp:/tmp 
    -e PLAYLIST="http://live.eternaltv.net:25461/get.php?username=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD=m3u_plus&output=ts" 
    -e USEREGEX="USA|USA-PREMIUM MOVIE" 
    -e STREAMS=1 
    -e FRIENDLYNAME="Tuner1" 
    -e DEVICEID="12345678" 
    -e TEMP="/tmp" 
    -e PUID=1000 
    -e PGID=1000 
    -e LISTEN=172.17.0.11:6077 
    tombowditch/telly

    i added the puid and pgid and quotes on the temp dir and added the docker container ip
