  1. Its been awhile since i last passed through my RX570/Vega, but "pc-i440fx-X.X" would not work for me. I changed to Q35 and the hanging Win Logo with one core at max stopped and booted just as expected.

     

    Edit: Since you get stuck in the booting process (and see the logo), the passthrough seems to be working. So it might be a VM config problem

  2. One thing i forgot to ask. I now want to use Disk Encryption with the new drives.

    I thought i would encrypt each drive in Unassigned Devices, then go by step (3),4,5. But when UD asks me for the passphrase, it says "Enter the password to use for this disk. Leave blank to use the array password/passphrase". That kinda got me off the track. Does this mean i could encrypt an array at once?

  3. Hey jonathanm,

    thank you for your help. I actually have a rather recent Backup so i'm just gonna skip this one :)

    Currently i pre-clear all the disks but that takes some time. Hopefully all works out fine.

  4. Hello everyone,

    currently i am using 3x2TB Drives for my array, with one of them being a parity drive. I now want to replace ALL drives with 8 TB Drives. Is it possible to remove all 3 2TB drives at once, replace them with the 8 TB Drives and copy the "old" Data with Krusader/unBALANCE? If yes, is there anything i need to be aware of?

    I don't want to rebuild the Array with replacing the drives "one by one" since one drive started to show errors (they all are very old) and a rebuild might be problematic.

  5. Hello everyone,

    so over the weekend i looked for RDP alternatives and on the FreeRDP Site i stumbled over a programm that is called "Thincast Workstation". Basically this app is based on VirtualBox but has one feature that i really like. They call it "Virtual 3D" which uses the AMD/nVIDIA GPU encoding capabilities to "stream" the video to the client - pretty much the same what Win10 with H.264AVC444 is capable of, only that you don't need one GPU per VM.

    Each VM uses the h264 decode capabilities of the Host GPU and i must say, it just works perfect. The only downside is that it is only available for Windows 10 or Windows server. Is there something similar for Linux / unRAID / KVM?

    As long as your docker containers are using the bridged network option, they will be routed through the vpn. You can verify this by going into a docker container's shell and typing the below text. (Assuming that the docker has curl)

    
    curl https://ipinfo.io/ip

     

    Oh, this is perfect. So all "bridged" dockers will route through vpn, and any "custom" docker network adapters, e.g. Container using ReverseProxy adapter will be reachable through normal ISP IP?
    Have not updated to RC Versions yet, so i can't test it on my own.

    Not sure what you mean here. I am running the same docker, only port forwarded is 1194. Just set it to udp port 1194 (it's the default port) Works great with openVPN :)

     

     

    Yes, it works great in pretty much every country. But i got relatives living in egypt, and apparently egypt seems to be able to block the vpn traffic (started two weeks ago, before it worked perfect with udp 1194). I've read somewhere, that for example people living in china use TCP port 443 for VPN, since only on this port the VPN seem to be working. I hope it is more understandable now.

  8. @SpaceInvaderOne Thank you for the updated Tutorial

     

    But how would one solve the following problem: I need to route the openVPN traffic through TCP port 443, otherwise i can't use openVPN. But i already have a letsencrypt docker configured as SpaceInvaderOne explained in his ReserveProxy/Nextcloud guide. So i'm basically forwarding TCP Port 443 -> 1443. How can i use this port with openVPN?

    Been quite awhile since I've used this app (have switched to a different method of connecting remotely), but after you set up the user etc via the admin login, don't you just login locally as the appropriate user and then download the .ovpn file there and then move it to the applicable device?

    What method are you using? A Wireguard docker would be awesome

    Have you tried

    a) not stubbing the gpu (not using vfio-pci.ids in the flash config) 

    b) not plugging in anything to the gpu

    c) not booting gui mode?

     

    Is power draw still high when you run unraid then? for me it is even with a, b and c

    If so, the issue could lie somewhere in the kernel... 😫

    a) did not have to stub the video card. Is there a particular reason to do this?

    b) this i will have to try. I remember something of a "zero watt"-state with no cables plugged in.

    c) i tend to boot into no-gui mode (since i only have one gpu). this is where i first noticed the problem.

    It looks like a feature of the cards (both the RTX 2080 and the Vega 56). It can't be an Unraid problem because, as you said, when stubbed Unraid isn't even aware of the card's presence so it just sits there uninitialised. It won't be until your Windows VM is started and a driver loaded that there's any means of controlling it. It looks like it might be something that can only be fixed by a firmware update. I suppose they are not intended to sit there powered but uninitialised. How does it behave if you reboot your server into the BIOS screen so that the card is actually producing a video output? It might be that the only work around is to start your VM in order to load the driver in order to control its power usage.

    Just tested this, in BIOS and in GUI Mode the Power Consumption is the same, which is ridiculously too high. So, what does that mean? Any way to fix this?

  11. It's a i440 problem. Switch to Q35 and you can install every driver version out there. But if you like to stay with i440, i guess latest working version without the driver hanging with a black screen during install was 18.2.1 - but don't quote me on that. If you really need to know, i could check later.

    unraid internal error: Unknown PCI header type '127'

    Had the same issue. "VFIO allow unsafe interrupts" set to "yes" in VM Settings fixed it for me. Now i can boot, sleep, shutdown, change VM without any problems.

    Feedback is critical here.  We are seriously considering removing the option to select Q35 for Windows-based VMs from VM manager.  If you can provide a use-case for why we shouldn't, please do!!

    As fas as i know, you can't install the newest AMD Relive Drivers on i440, only on Q35. The latest driver that worked on i440 without the driver crashing with a black screen is 18.2.1 (or 18.2.3?). Every driver after that has the same problem. Q35 just works out-of-the-box. Had the problem with a RX570 and a Vega56. Another user here in the forum had the same issue and changing to Q35 fixed this. (Ozon was his name as far as i remember).

  13. Hey,

    i had some problems with my vega too. Did you try to passthrough only the graphic card without the Vega audio? SpaceinvaderOne says in it's videos, that you need to pass through both GPU IDs (VGA/Sound) to get it to run. This, for instance, was true for my GTX970 and for my RX570, but with Vega nothing would boot correctly when i try to pass through its audio. Can you give it a try?

  14. Hello everybody,

    yesterday i upgraded my PC to an all AMD build and moved UnRAID on the new machine. Everything worked more or less out of the box (Vega Passthrough took me a while), but now i can't figure out why the power consumption is so high. First off, here my current Hardware:

    Ryzen 5 2600

    ASRock B450 Pro4

    Sapphire Pulse Vega 56

    16 GB DDR4 3200/CL16

    2xWD 2TB, 1x3TB (Array)

    1xCrucial MX300 500GB (Cache)

     

    So, with a bare-metal windows installation, the idle power consumption is at around 60 Watt.

    Having a windows gaming vm running (Vega56 passthrough) in unRAID, idle power consumption is at around 77 Watt (same disks etc. installed)

    But when NO VM is running, unRAID gets hungry and takes about 140 Watt. This can't be right, can it?

     

    So i guess it must be the GPU that is giving me the headaches. Or am i just missing something?

    Additional note:

    I'm coming from an Intel Xeon E3 system with a H97 motherborad. I just moved the unRAID Flashdrive to the new computer. Can this be my problem?

  15. Hey SpaceInvaderOne,

     

    i encountered the same problem as xanvincent.

    The problem is not Win10/Q35 related, since i am running a Win10 VM with Q35. If i use i440fx, i can't install the latest AMD Drivers (RX 570) without the driver getting stuck during installation (black screen), so i went with Q35 and everything works fine.

    In Linux on the other hand, i can't shut down any VM (also Q35) without having the "Unknown PCI header type '127'" error. Only a server reboot will fix this.

    There are several thread in this forum with this error, e.g.:

    https://forums.unraid.net/topic/75597-unknown-pci-header-type-error/?tab=comments#comment-696426&searchlight=1

    https://forums.unraid.net/topic/71065-internal-error-unknown-pci-header-type-127-on-rx550/?tab=comments#comment-652514&searchlight=1

     

    So, what might fix that?
