Hey - you figured out how to use the CODE button, there's hope for you still. The place for the mount exists, what are the current contents of your /etc/fstab file? You can type in "/cat /etc/fstab" instead of viewing in nano. What is a working share location in Windows Explorer?

Note the glowing part. This assumes that your UNRAID server is named "Tower", you have a share configured in UNRAID named "user", and there's a directory under that share named "DVDs". From my experience, it is best to reference the IP address of the UNRAID server if you have a static IP address configured. Otherwise, you'll need to continue to refer to it by it's "Tower" label. You can test the share's address in Windows Explorer by typing it in using "\" instead of "/". If you can't browse to "\\Tower\user\DVDs" using Windows Explorer, you WON'T be amount to successfully mount the share in the VM. Assuming that you have an UNRAID share named "DVDs", you'll want to test the share out in Windows Explorer by navigating to "\\Tower\DVDs". If it is successful, enter into the /etc/fstab file "//tower/DVDs"

I believe the $ sign is indicating that there's more data to display at the end of line inside nano.

Do not proceed until you can type in at the bash prompt "ls -l /mnt/DVDs" and get the listing of files & directories you expect. First, view your plex admin, change IP to match yours: http://192.168.1.201:32400/web/ Click on the "+" icon under "My Library" Click on the "Movies" icon Type a name for the library section and click on "Add Folder" Type in "/mnt/DVDs" in the text field or browse to the location and click "Add". Based on the size of your library, it may take some time to display everything. There is an activity icon at the top of the page to let you follow the status.

I'm not sure you're joking or not but I'm assuming you should also type in first: mkdir /mnt/DVDs

$539.99 demands more than a good chance. Researching....

Looks good. Try it and see. The share is automounted when first accessed so if you try to do a LS on /mnt/DVDs, it may return an error for a few seconds though I haven't had any issues with Plex running on those shares to access my media. I think the /mnt/DVDs placeholder directory needs to exist prior. If it fails to mount at boot, the fail message will give you a command to enter to see why it failed.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157470 22 SATA3 ports! My heart just skipped a beat! Now I wonder if the board supports IOMUU and if UNRAID supports the "LSI SAS 3008 Controller+ 3X24R Expander" Oh my god. I'm drooling.

This is what I used and as is, the permissions utilize the guest account in unraid for a read-only share. Change "ro" to "rw" for a read-write share and the permissions if you wish to use another user. //192.168.1.6/Movies /mnt/Movies cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,ro,username=nobody,password=,_netdev 0 0

Virtualization support is not a must to run certain VMs. Linux VMs can run on hardware that does not support virtualiation - you will have limited virtualization options though. Excellent. Just making sure that there wasn't an issue with people with ancient hardware trying to boot into XEN and getting a crashed server or the like.

What happens if someone with no virtualization support in either the CPU or motherboard tries to boot to XEN?

Try adding the name/IP to /etc/hosts

I think you're overthinking it. Based on my understanding, the OS sees 8 CPU's (hyperthreaded) regardless as to the number of cores. I do not think you want to assign a physical core as it would make the resources unavailable for other VM's.

Here's what I used in /etc/fstab for automounting samaba shares as read only using Unraid's guest account. //192.168.1.6/Movies /mnt/Movies cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,ro,username=nobody,password=,_netdev 0 0 Note - shares are mounted on first access so if you try listing the mounted shares, you will likely get an error for a few seconds until it responds. I've tried multiple ways to get the shares to auto mount without needing to first access but wasn't successful.

There's an iOS app named "Constellation" that you can use to control your XBMC VM. Several others out there if you want to try a free version.

Run the following commands to shut down your server: /root/samba stop umount /dev/md1 umount /dev/md2 umount /dev/md3 umount /dev/md4 (repeat for each md drive) /root/mdcmd stop If everything worked, you can type "poweroff" to shut down.

I'm using these SATA-2 cards in two UNRAID boxes, one in each (though you can put more than one in a box). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124050 PCIe x4 interface. Has one 1 star rating but I've never had any issues with these. Note while there's 6 ports, if you enable the external ports, it will disable two internal ports.

That looks like a nice board. Let us know if it supports PCI passthrough

Try: Address=('192.168.1.200/24')

Worked like a charm. Thank you!

I've been looking to set a static IP inside the VM and have been unsuccessful using Arch guides online. I'm not able to set an IP by Mac ID with my router.

Works in unraid too when I didn't notice that it exited the telnet session with the VM.

I've had dozens of hard drives fail on me but never a thumb drive. Just sayin'

It's a legitimate concern. However, it is my understanding that if Tom falls off the Earth or gets abducted by Aliens or otherwise no longer available - ever - that UNRAID source would become public domain. I COULD LIKELY BE WRONG. But also note what has been stated in that Tom is looking to move away from the USB reliance. So it's possible that your long-term concern won't be here in the long term.

I'd try to stress components to see if it happens - but first, run memtest.
