    I tried the community app but I am having some problems?

     

    Uploading files does not get uploaded to the files folder?

    Also windows share shows the folder strange? "M6U1...."

    Also changing the port number breaks the "open webui" on the Unraid docker menu (But thats a smaller problem)

     

     

     

    VM Crashing unRaid on ROMED8-2T Motherboard

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    @casperse - Short answer is "yes".

     

    I was able to pass the NVMEs thru another way and get pretty good performance. I'm not sure what this method is called. It looks like passing thru the raw partitions but it's really the root above the partitions. Using the VirtIO driver yields fast speeds at the expense of CPU cycles. Nice thing about Epyc is that we've got enough cores to afford it. (screenshot attached)

     

    I will continue to tinker with passing the bare-metal NVMe thru. I have not been able to pass the bare-metal NVMe controller thru without severe crashes. I was trying to bind them to VFIO and pass them thru like a GPU. I feel like this is an issue with the motherboard or BIOS. Before this board, I was trying to use Supermicro's equivalent. I was able to pass the bare-metal NVMes on the SuperMicro but had to RMA three of them for dead BMCs before getting the AsRockRack ROMED8-2T.

     

    The BIOS has a lot of options. It took me a few sessions to get the BIOS dialed in for my workload. It's definitely an enthusiast board. Having said that, I don't think Ryzen 3 requires all the tinkering/optimization that I've read about from Ryzen 1 & 2. I have two of my three GPUs passed thru. I expect the third to work just fine, I just haven't set it up yet. Sometimes I have to disconnect my USB devices to boot after a complete disconnect from power.

    Thanks for the feedback!

     

    I have a Xeon E2100G and even this setup is causing problems during passthrough of the NVidia cards 😞

    I am starting to consider a setup like yours with plenty of possibilities for future expansion!

    But NOT running Unraid as a bare-metal hypervisor (Like I always have done!)

    But instead run Proxmox as my hypervisor and then having all the VM's running here! (Passthrough should be much easier)

    And Unraid running as a virtual setup on Proxmox with HW passthrough of all the drives

    That way I could re-boot Unraid and keep all my VM running + the backup of VM's and snapshots would be built into Proxmox

    Nice, but just a quick reminder to keep in mind that Emby will stop playback if the buffer runns full, Plex doesn't do that...

     

    I have made the changes and I havnet seen any memory warning for some time, but got one today (Havent found any Emby reference)

    Setup multiple cache pools (path /mnt/cache/appdata/)

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by casperse

    THANKS again! - I decided to change every path to get the better performance and everything worked great!
    Also updated plugins to do appdata backup etc.... so everything was running just fine and I wanted to check files on my new cache drive

    But this time it was EMPTY! and in my main view I had this:

     

    (This was not present when running the new cache drive at start?)

    image.thumb.png.7997b03bb3674049f42d4d5c3b8f7252.png

    Somehow my new cache drive was in both places?

    Afraid that I had now lost all my cache files I did a reboot and everything is back again?

    I upgraded to rc5 yesterday, not sure this is an error or something else?

    attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread

     

    Thanks trurl

    I found a post saying I should reboot again, but that didnt help.

    I then removed the new cache drive it was empty anyway, and then I started without the new cache and stopped and added it again and now its active!

    But I have a question , very afraid to mess up my existing Appdata on my existing cache drive!

     

    If I rename my existing cache to a new name cache_appdata and then start the Docker service!

    Whar will happen to all the paths that are assigned to the currunt path 

    On 4/24/2022 at 4:55 PM, Squid said:

    Those 2 paths are actually more or less identical.  The first is referring to a share on the cache drive and the second is referring to a share on all drives including the cache.

     

    You'd want to stop all the running containers, and edit them to be /mnt/cache_apps/appdata to refer to the correct pool (for anything that had /mnt/cache/appdata).  And also set the appdata share to use cache_apps.  No need to change /mnt/user/appdata to refer to anything else.

     

     

     

    So its actually best and recommended to just use the default /mnt/user/appdata and set prefer Cache!
    And NOT like me and others to have set it manually on each docker to use the /mnt/cache/appdata - because when adding pools and renaming you have to change the paths on all dockers!

    [NOT SOLVED AFTER ALL] No GUI on local monitor?

    Argh no its a black screen right after the last load on screen of the nvidia loading

     

    So somehow the login promt and the local UI resolution does not like my 4K monitor?

    I could see that it changed resolution while loading on the screen 1080P -> 4K (Very small text) -> back to 1080P 

    and at the login promt black screen?

     

    Is there any setting to get this working on a 4K screen?

    I am now pretty sure that is the problem

    Setup multiple cache pools (path /mnt/cache/appdata/)

    in General Support

    Posted

    Hi All

     

    I am finally going to setup multiple cache pools! 🙂

    And I am wondering how to go about it in the right way?

     

    Current setup: One cache drive called "cache"

    Future setup; Having 3 cache drives - cache_apps / cache_vms / cache_shares

     

    • Would I have to manually go and change all my dockers from /mnt/cache/appdata/ --> /mnt/user/appdata/ before renaming my existing cache drive?
    • Would it be best to move all things back to the array (Change prefer: Cache --> Yes : Cache) and then setup all my cache drives?
      • (The system files and the Docker image files and the Appdate would be keept on the existing cache drive!)

     

    I have all my Media dockers on my current cache drive and moving all these small files would take days!

    Would love to just rename the current cache drive to cache_apps and move the rest to the other cache drives?

    I might me overthinking this LOL

     

    Did see the video about multiple pools but in that they where all empty

     

    Request: Homebridge

    in Docker Engine

    Posted

    Hi All

     

    I am using the OZNU Homebridge docker.

    And it works for everything except the Sonos ZP plugin?

     

    I have by troubleshooting with the auther found that it is upnp that causes these problems?

    What network setting are you running with?

     

    Mine is:

    image.thumb.png.b4821eb7007293ffb70a27bfc75b612c.png

     

    And in the UI:

    image.thumb.png.36574bc150de4291346786fb62b1bb1b.png

     

    But I keep getting periodic UPnP announcements for .6 - the HOST! ?

     

    [4/19/2022, 9:00:21 AM] [Sonos] upnp: RINCON_542A1BE254D901400 is alive at 192.168.0.6

     

    Any input on how to resolve this?

    Over 30 drives?

    Posted

    I know this is an old post but every one is talking about the SC847 and the 36 bays! 

    And it has been on my list for a very long time (Hitting the max supported drives on Unraid)

    But isn't it a big problem that all cards have to fit in the low-profile expansion slot? (Or is it full?)

    Upgrade from 6.9.2 -> 6.10.RC4 USB in VM problem

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    I did the insert this in the XML for Home assistant if using the Conbee2 stick! 

        </memballoon> placed under this line:
	
    <serial type='dev'>
      <source path='/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0000_0000-if00'/>
      <target type='usb-serial' port='1'>
        <model name='usb-serial'/>
      </target>
      <alias name='serial1'/>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' port='4'/>
    </serial>

     

    Get USB ID by console:

    ls /dev/serial/by-id/

     

    But even if I got the VM started then Home assistant cant access the Conbee stick?

    Out of Memory on v.6.9.2

    On 4/11/2022 at 7:17 AM, ich777 said:

    Why are you doing this? I can't see any benefit from this?

     

    Please remove this script, also remove the parameter that it only has 2GB of memory (this is only the maximum amount of memory the application can consume) and add this to your extra parameters: 

    --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp,tmpfs-size=8589934592

     

    This will basically create a tmpfs on the Docker start in /tmp (yes, that's perfectly fine and should used like that since then there is no chmod or anything else needed) and change the transcoding path in Emby to /tmp

     

    I got the script from mgutt and I keept them because its practually the same as writing it in the docker:

    Have one for Emby and another for Plex) both with at RAM folder

    But I guess its simpler to have just tmp, so I will delete the scripts and add the parameter to them both

     

    But using your extra parameter in docker for Emby I now have:

    --runtime=nvidia --log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1 --restart unless-stopped --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp,tmpfs-size=8589934592

     

    And for Plex:

    --runtime=nvidia --no-healthcheck --log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1 --restart unless-stopped --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp,tmpfs-size=8589934592

     

    So long time since I set this up, but it has been running pretty stable
