  1. Sorry for a late reply, you can check the frequencies using: watch -n 0.3 "grep Hz /proc/cpuinfo"
  2. I have been using ISCI, and it shows the exact same! No issues speed related or anything so I think it's all meant to be!
  3. I would say to use FileIO when using a disk that contains data, and you don't have any other disk that you can spare for the function of ISCSI. I would go for block when you are able to have a complete drive available for this function. My case: I have both, 1 4TB HDD completely available to Windows, and a 300GB image on my SSD for game storage (for VM and my gaming rig).
  4. Bwoahh, using a block (or just a whole disk) is so insane! Getting these numbers in combination with a WD RED PRO!:
  5. It actually worked flawlessly! The image is now resized, but it also found out the actual image size itself! I typed in 450GB but it probably saw the actual size was 483, so it changed. No data overwritten and all good! The function is based on this: Do note to disconnect the .img first (remove it from the initiators list) (after shrinking the volume in Windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope this also helps others in the future.
  6. I will try re-adding it Otherwise It doesn't matter if I break it, already made a copy of the data so will see what will happen lol.
  7. So I tried to resize a volume, but it still reports at 2TB disk, any idea how to decrease the size? Size 'before' was 2TB But it still reports it as 2TB drive: Also; I am not decreasing the size for further usage, I am only decreasing the size to then move the files over to the same disk, but then added as a block. So basically from disk 1 -> Cache -> disk 1 as a block again (manually transfering data)
  8. Unassign, so that will mean creating new config in my case. Because I am trying to switch over to mounting a complete disk. Thanks for the help @ich777!
  9. Just a cute little hint: if your image is over the disk size you are trying to use mover for, then it will break /mnt/user and you need to restart your server. And yes I learned this the hard way by moving a 2TB image over to a 1TB SSD (from disk to cache).
  10. I am planning to do this today, due to my 4TB WD Red Pro performing very good in reads, but writes seems to cut off goard some programs in Windows. Do I need to disconnect the disk from Unraid (via tools -> New config)?
  11. I think it depends on the usage, if you are gonna do a lot of writing, then you can mount the drive, however you can use a fileIO image on the btrfs-RAID setup. if you are gonna be using 1gigabit connection, I would recommend sticking with FileIO, 2.5gbs and above use the disk, which I think cannot be used in a raid-config. Hope this helps!
  12. Well I don't think there actually is. Just use this to guide a bit:
  13. I've not seen plex do it. What are your other dockers? Or do you have a VM stored onto the drive? Whats te filesystem type?
  14. And based on these variables, I have to make my decision 😜 . But since I am pretty new to ISCSI and the disk is also pretty new (the server disk is a 4TB WD RED PRO), I have to see what I am gonna do with storing data an such (I am not new to unraid btw, got already 4TB+ of data). I will try and see how it will all end up. It does. Thanks so much for all the help!
