GPU pass through prevents VNC connections?
might be kicking a dead horse here but another free alternative to Windows RDP is Parsec. I have been using it for a while now and have almost zero input lag or artifacts. RDP for me was too glitchy for most games/apps i was using as it runs a virtual desktop. Parsec behaves as if you were sitting at your desk, forwards controller, microphone and other peripheral data seamlessly. You can set the app the run at start up so as soon as the computer has loaded you can just remote into the login screen.

Delay Unassigned Devices SMB mount?
Sorry if this is a bit late but it is very possible, you can use the mount command that looks like this for unassigned devices: mount -t cifs //192.168.0.37/D /mnt/disks -o username=krys,password=*****,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 and then use the user scripts plugin to automate the running of the script. I don't actually know how you can set a delay per se but if you know your reboot schedule then using a custom cron time works just fine. I put my computer to rest every night automatically to save power and setting a cron time 5-10 minutes after the normal boot time works just fine for all my 20-30 docker instances. it annoying that such a simple feature is not available on unraid but this is how i solved my issue with internal vm's hosting thier own smb shares for dockers. Edit: running the command over and over again does not cause any harm either so you can just run it every 5 minutes if you really wanted to. not sure if it temporarily breaks storage for dockers but in all the testing i have done the server pics up on whatever it left after a second or two after realizing the storage location is available again.

Unassigned Devices - Managing Disk Drives and Remote Shares Outside of The Unraid Array
Hi, i am new to unraid, i was hoping someone could help me out in creating a script to mount a SMB with cron/user scripts plugin. From what i am aware of there is no way to delay the mounting of SMB shares at boot but i can see there are a few commands that allow you to mount on request via scripts. Even a simple script that will make the mount to be reattempted will work fine. Why do i need this?...well i have windows vm which is also a share host. the reason i cannot just host this share via unraid and then have windows deal with it is because the software on the windows machine requires the disk to be local and even when remote mounted with a drive letter it complains. This all means the auto mount on boot does not work because the vm has not yet turned on in time for unraid to be able to mount it. Please help me out. been trying to figure this out for ages! will be forever grateful
