Yeah. Like I said, I'm not sure if this hyper-v setting has anything to do with the slowness or not, but figured it was worth mentioning. This is just a simple Win 10 VM (running win 10 LTSB). It runs a few programs and I use it as a testing bed on occasion. I'll also occasionally remote into it when I'm outside of the network as I keep my Gaming rig asleep when its not in use. This VM isn't used for gaming or any sort of heavy lifting. Checking on it now, at idle disk is back to 0%. but if I reboot it, upon startup disk, will climb into the 90% range for a bit before it settles down. Or if updates are downloading it seems to happen as well.

Hello, I have an unRAIDd box with an i5 8600, with 2 x 10TB drives, and 2 x 500GB SSDs for cache, running unRAID 6.7 I have a small Win 10 VM that is running fairly slow. I have the disk IMG set to be on the cache drive, not the main array. But have noticed when downloading updates, or after a restart, the disk use gets up to 90% or so. Its also painfully slow to install any updates to the VM. Checking the disk monitor, it seems to be topping out at 10MB/s, which seems really slow. So I'm guessing this is a big part of the problem. The VM has 4GB of ram, and 2 cores allocated to it. I left core 0 unassigned, and have cored 1 and 2 assigned to the VM. (I use the other CPU's for a Plex docker and a few other Dockers I have running) Any ideas on what I can look at? I went through the spaceinvader videos and made the suggestion optimizations like turning off indexing, and windows defender. (I did this when I originally set up the VM) The only thing I did notice in my VM settings in unRAID. Is thats the setting for "Hyper-V" is set to NO. (I'm not sure if this is related to the problem at all, but it seems to be the only setting that differs from his video) I attempted to shut down the VM, and change this to "Yes". but after I save the settings and go back in, its set back to "no" again.

Thanks! Last question, if I replace the cables and its still an issue, Can I just move that drive to a new SATA port? Will I have to do anything in unRAID to reassign it to the cache pool after I move the port? or will it pick it back up automatically?

Thanks for the help! I'll give that a shot tonight with another new cable! I'm assuming if that doesn't fix it... its likely the power cable? (or possibly a failing drive?)

Sorry about that. I just went to tools diagnostics and did a download of the logs, just not sure which ones are the most helpful to post as there are a ton. Attached is the entire syslog. which I think is what you're looking for. All the Sata cables in the machine are brand new, I can try replacing them, just not sure which SSD is having the problem. My PSU doesn't have any extra power cables as I'm using all of them. Only way for me to replace that is to get a new power supply. syslog.txt

Hi folks, I'm new to unRAID, I have cache pool of 2 SSD's (a 500gb and a 525GB) I'm using the plugin to allow trim, and both of these SSD's are plugged directly into my motherboards SATA ports (ASrock H370m) I got an email alert only containing the following: fstrim: /mnt/cache: FITRIM ioctl failed: Remote I/O error It contained nothing else. I'm guessing that its saying the trim event I had schedule failed. Any idea what the cause could be. Only thing I can think of is it has something to do with having 2 different sized SSD's in the cache pool. In a normal raid, I'd "lose" the extra 25GB on the 2nd SSD, (which isn't a big deal. ) but it woudl work. not sure if thats the case in unRAID, or if something else is going on.

Hi Folks, I just installed uunRAID on a ASrock H370 itx board with a i5 8500T cpu. I noticed the CPU wasn't downclocking itself when idly, constantly staying at 3.3 ghz as being reported by the terminal when running watch -n 1 grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo I found a thread on this that was a few years old, and talked about disabling the intel Pstate driver. So I added the lines "append intel_pstate=disable" to my bootconfig. which now seems to let the cpu downclock itself when idle. However now I'm seeing the cpu jump around wildly from 5% to 20% to 50% back down to %, all within a few seconds when nothing is really running. I have a windows VM installed as well as a plex docket. When doing a test run, running a single transcode stream from 1080P to my phone, It's maxing out the CPU. Which is odd as it seems this cpu should be able to handle 5 streams at once. Any ideas? Has anyone been able to get an i5 8500t to downclock using the correct pstate driver? or am I missing something? Thanks!
