Thank you, followed your suggestion and ran several diskspeed test. finally found the issue to be one of the HDD behaving oddly, where it would slow down to around 5MB/s for certain sectors. There were no smart errors, and it could perform around 200MB/s for most quick test. Only the longer test revealed the issue.

Hello all, I am getting inconsistent Parity Sync speed, ranging from 200MB/s to 1.5MB/s Initially, the problem seems to be with the HBA overheating/errors, so I placed 2x 20mm fans to cool it (& turned on the air conditioner), and the speed returned to the more expected 200-100MB/s. However the speed on fluctuates, hovering around 1.5MB/s for several hours. Please take a look at the diagnostics attached and help me find the problem. I'm not sure if it is the HBA or the certified drives I added to the system that is the issue. Thank you in advance for your assistance. P.S. System is a HL15 case with the 45drives black plane and Sata HDDs, connected to a lenovo 430-16i HBA, then a i9900k system. I checked if the HBA has been seated properly, and the connectors are locked, and using a full electrical 16x slot (aware the HBA is only 8x) bastion-diagnostics-20250124-1051.zip

Thank you very much, I can confirm it was the HBA overheating. Rearranged the PCIe cards and placed a fan to blow on the HBA, and now the parity sync speed is as expected.

Thank you, will take a look. Could you tell from the diagnostic report if the fault is with the hba or motherboard controller? Thank you

Hello all, after upgrading my hardware my parity sync has become unreasonably slow. usually takes about 24hours to complete, now its reporting about 150 days at 1-2MB/s. I upgraded to the HL15 case with the 45drives black plane and Sata HDDs, which are connected to a lenovo 430-16i hba, then a i9900k system. I don't think its a hardware issue, and had checked the connectors. Please take a look at the diagnostics attached and help me find the problem. Thank you in advance for your assistance. bastion-diagnostics-20250121-0508.zip

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Yeah, my ISP uses CGNAT, so Tailscale has been the only reason I have been able to set up remote access at all. Regardless, it seems good practice to use tailscale to access and share the machine, due to tailscale as a VPN and control over individuals who can see or access them. Based on your explanation, dockers such as nextcloud benefit from SWAG (reverse proxy) for the security headers etc, while others like emby, calibre don't really need them (or don't complain about them). Custom Domains is a nice benefit of the current set up, although the tailscale intergration seems to allow us to choose a custom hostname + a relatively human understandable machine address (.ts.net or machine name). For now, I'm leaning to keeping the tailscale swag combo, mainly as it is up and running. Will wait and see if there is any new information that suggest otherwise.

Hello all, question if it is feasible to replace reverse proxy with tailscale to access/share containers remotely. Currently following spaceinvader one's "Master Tailscale on Unraid Pt 2: Docker Integration & SWAG Reverse Proxy" to set up my machine and dockers. So cloudflare dns points to tailscale IP (SWAG with tailscale IP) -> SWAG (for reverse proxy) -> containers (nextcloud, emby, calibre, etc) Does it mean I can do away with SWAG entirely? After installing Tailscale in all the appropriate Docker container containers: tailscale machine addresses (ip/ts.net) -> individual containers (cloudflare dns could be used to create a preferred domain name) Is there any drawbacks with forgoing reverse proxy? additionally, do I then have to use tailscale serve for these containers? Thank you in advance for your assistance

Thank you, got it working. Any clue about the cpu part? is it listing by thread?

Hi, can we rename the machine in nextcloud? Under Settings>Administration>System, could we change the machine name? (the d2dd33036abf?) Additionally, what happen to the cpu info? can it be fixed? Thanks

Hello, I would like to share my solution to getting an out of the box Bluetooth and wifi solution for the macOS vm. With bonus hot plug USB ports. (Also works for windows vm) Using: 1) Broadcom BCM43602CS (wifi card from an MacBook) on a PCI-E x1 adaptor card with Bluetooth wires 2) ORICO 2 Port USB3.0 PCI-E Expansion Card (PME-4UI) [Fresco FL1100 controller & a 19 pin USB3.0 port] 3) USB3.0 19 pin female to USB2.0 9pin male adaptor I put both cards in 2 PCI-E x1 slots, and connected the Bluetooth wires to the orico card 19 pin slot through the 19pin to 9pin adaptor. All recognised in unraid system devices. Then using vfio-pci.ids command and xml edits I passed the 2 cards to the macOS vm. Now I have full wifi and Bluetooth functions on the vm, as well as 2 hot plug USB 3 ports available and working. With boot camp drivers, I am able to also get the wifi and Bluetooth working on a windows vm, as well as the USB ports. As a side note, now my previously working ORICO 4 Port USB3.0 PCI-E Expansion Card (PME-4U) is now undetectedable by unraid, which now only sees the 2 port version. Now the 4 port card does not appear system devices (PCI Devices and IOMMU groups) and will not in see any usb devices in the 4 port card. Anyone has any ideas how to fix this?

Okay, I "resolved" the issue of clover not seeing the macOS installer. I followed spaceinvader one instructions from the video, but originally copied over the img using my window 10 pc - and i couldnt see the installer in clover. (i.e. got img from a friend's mac, copied over the img to unraid server with a USB drive) I repeated the steps again, but this time used my friend's mac to also transfer the img file (& clover.qcow2) directly into the unraid machine over lan. Now I can see the installer and have completed the rest of the steps and got myself a Hackintosh

Hello all, I am also now facing this issue, where the clover cant see any macOS installer. Using the method mentioned by spaceinvader one i created the img on a mac, but its not showing up Was anyone able to solve this?
