Alright, which isn't a terrible work around for the interim. Otherwise, there isn't any glaring issues with what I'm expecting out of the hardware? The E-Cores should be able to handle the load of Unraid and my Dockers and the iGPU should have no trouble with my plex transcodes and then some?

I'm hoping that I can just get some clarification that I'm not off base with my understanding. Quick background, I have a existing unraid system that is in desperate need of upgrading. My vision of a build aligns closely to what Blobbonator is running. I'm hoping to run an i7-12700k with the following workloads: Daily driver/Gaming VM: 8 P-Cores with an older GTX 1070 passed throughs Unraid and Dockers (Plex primarily, with max of 3-4 transcodes, but hopefully room to grow by a couple if necessary): Using the E-Cores and iGPU for Plex transcoding If I read correctly, the iGPU will work fine following the steps outlined above and that currently the only potential drawback would be the lack of support for 2.5Gbps, until Unraid moves to 5.15 for the kernel (Does this mean the onboard NIC won't work at all, or that it won't run at 2.5Gb? Will I need a separate 1Gb NIC in the interim?).

I was in the process of upgrading one of my disks (and changing FS from reiserfs to xfs) when one of my other drives failed. Currently, the drive I was upgrading is in a 'Invalid Data Content' state, while the other drive (failing drive) is no longer mountable (I think it's got bad sectors). The drive I was upgrading, I copied the data from that drive over to another already, so I don't care about the data on it and don't need to do a rebuild on that drive. Is it possible to reset the status of the drive I upgraded so that unRAID think's it's been rebuilt and that parity is OK, so I can go ahead and deal with the second failed drive? If not, what are my other options here.
