  1. I get this in my syslog every week.

    Jul 24 04:40:01 NAS apcupsd[118732]: apcupsd exiting, signal 15
    Jul 24 04:40:01 NAS apcupsd[118732]: apcupsd shutdown succeeded
    Jul 24 04:40:03 NAS apcupsd[71875]: apcupsd 3.14.14 (31 May 2016) slackware startup succeeded
    Jul 24 04:40:03 NAS apcupsd[71875]: NIS server startup succeeded
    

     

    Looking at /var/log, I see that apcupsd.events rolled over at 4:40 am at the same time.

    I've just tried to run this as ive also had the server not boot after upgrade. Error shows UNRAID device not found on boot. Running the make_bootable file also shows error saying:

     

    E:\syslinux\syslinux.exe -maf E:
    Writing MBR: Access is denied.
    Did not successfully update the MBR; continuing...

     

    Make sure your antivirus, Acronis Home, etc are disabled and ensure you have the prompt to run as Admin show up.

  3. One thing to note is that the memtest86 that comes with UNRAID is an old version* - if you want the most recent, you have to download it from https://www.memtest86.com/ and create your own boot flash. Note that this version restriction placed by memtest86.

     

    * At least this was the case the last time I used the tool, YMMV

    Yes, ran a memtest on each of the RAM sticks individually.  I was having BTRFS issues with my previous RAM and that sparked me to test the memory.  I've not seen BTRFS errors since swapping out the RAM and the RAM passed memtest.

     

    I changed a few things all at once and this seems to be biting me.  I swapped motherboards, RAM, and upgraded to 6.9rc2.  I had zero problems with my previous mobo, RAM and 6.8.3.

    Note that the version of memtest built into UNRAID is a much older version that doesn't have the newer testing capabilities of the current version located on memtest's website. This is no fault of unraid, the people behind memtest won't allow anything newer to be installed by 3rd parties.

    I could be wrong, but IIRC Unraid is based on Slackware. The delayed release of 6.9 may have something to do with this magical announcement : https://www.itsfoss.net/slackware-linux-15-0-alpha1-release/

    This is pure speculation on my part. I'm super happy and excited to see my first Linux distro is still alive and well! Thank you Slackware for being such an amazing distro over the years! 

    I doubt they'd be considering putting Slackware 15.0 in the UNRAID OS until it's released as stable, it's not even in the beta phase yet.

    Can the GPU be used for dockers then switched to VMs as needed, or is that not supported? I understand it would be difficult.

    If that's not possible, is it possible to reserve one GPU for dockers and another for VMs?

    This is largely a case-by-case basis and depends on the motherboard, it's physical PCI slot to CPU/NUMA/device connections, and even BIOS version.

     

    If you populate a video card in a given PCIe slot and it shows up in its own IOMMU group, you should be able to pass it to different VM/Dockers. If that is true for multiple PCIe slots, you should be able to populate all of those PCIe slots with a different graphics card and pass each one to a different VM/Docker.

     

    In theory.

     

    You can have many VM/Dockers set up to use a given video card but only one of those can be active at any given time.

  7. Checking the php behind the Docker settings, it does have a default value for it as "/mnt/user/appdata/" (good) in dockerconfig.php, line 20. However, in DockerSettings.page line 192, the placeholder tip does not include a trailing slash (cosmetic).

     

    I edited the docker.cfg file to remove the trailing slash and rebooted, Docker started up without issue (reproducing original configuration)

  8. I switched my TR2 box back from Windows 10 bare metal (was trying to understand my use case was handling numa nodes) to unraid and gave b30 a shot with running a Win10 VM under a 24/7 CPU & YouTube streaming load - and other than the glitch I posted a bug thread about passing a graphics card, the VM has been running rock solid for a couple days now.

  9. After changing the VNC port to the P2000, I edited the XML and removed this block

        <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' websocket='-1' listen='0.0.0.0' keymap='en-us'>
          <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
        </graphics>
        <video>
          <model type='cirrus' vram='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
          <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
        </video>

    I then saved it and edited the VM again and switched it to the form editor. It still had VNC listed, probably by default. I changed it to the P2000 again and the change stuck.

    New Issue: I can't unpin CPUs from dockers. When I do so in pinning and I press apply, everything seems fine. After entering the pinning settings, everything is back to "as it was".

    If I go into the container settings for the docker and change settings there, it persists.

    There is already a defect for this. You may want to review and add any new details you have.
