Appreciate the straight answer I'll go and search the feature requests forum now and write it up if I don't find it. EDIT: Done the feature request.

Simple question that I've Google'd several times. In short, can I isolate a CPU to VMs only when they are running. I.e: If the VM is running: Only it can use it's designated cores If the VM is not running: Anything can use them

Heads up I used the steps you quoted to swap a cache drive and it worked excellently. However, know that, if you are swapping for a larger drive, you'll have to resize your BTRFS image. Longer guide here, but I just ran this: btrfs fi resize 1:max /mnt/cache

24gb... because it came with 8gb and I added 16gb

Don't get me wrong, I get that it's nice to see a real, rare sale. That said, I've been perfectly happy paying the normal price for Unraid, so don't worry about paying the usual fee.

Simple question really that I couldn't find the answer to. In short, I need to get an idea of how much performance hit I would see if I did not pass a dedicated SSD through to a Win 10 VM. In other words, if I just left a vhd on the Cache disk and used that? I'm not too bothered about juicing every last bit of performance out of a system, but that said if it's going to cause problems in all circumstances, I will.

Noted, and thankfully noted is all that's needed since you saved me from falling into a hole of disappointment if that's what I tried. Occasional gaming etc is enough for me in any case In this regard, Unraid gaming in general my lifestyle perfectly at the moment (kid, condo, job, minimal free time).

You know, I think I'm going to go for it too. If it works well with unraid and is a half length bus powered, it's for me! Occasional gaming (by occasional I do mean it would be quite the occasion) and eventual 4K stuff when I can be bothered to get a new TV... Here I come!

Just curious, did you ever get the 1650? I'm also thinking of buying one as it looks like it's the only thing that will work in my (somewhat old) Lenovo TS430.

Earlier today I found a cracking Facebook Marketplace detail for a lightly used APC Uninteruptable Power Supply unit, an APC Back-UPS 750 ES specifically. Thing is, my UnRAID Server (a Lenovo TS430) is in our bedroom at the moment. If the power goes off in the night for a bit, I don't want the UPS beeping away to wake me up just to tell me it's working and asking if I'm proud of it. Looking around, APC say that you have to install their PowerChute software to disable alarms... didn't fancy that. UnRAID uses apcupsd for it's UPS support. A bit of careful Googling and I found my answer... Full credit to masxio for showing us how to do this: https://masxio.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/how_to_disable_beep_alarm_from_apc_ups/ Step by step with added UnRAID steps: STOP the APC UPS Daemon (Settings > UPS Settings > "Start APC UPS Daemon" should be set to No > Apply). If you're getting fatal errors later in the process, this may well be your problem, example below. Get a terminal session going on your unraid server (you can use the web based one on the dashboard or start an SSH session, whatever you wish) sudo apctest The main menu will be displayed, press 6 (to edit alarm settings) Once the alarm menu is displayed, press D (to disable them) If you want to verify the change, repeat step 4 and check the status displayed, then use Q to get back to the main menu. When back at the main menu, press Q (to quit) You're done, close the terminal. START the APC UPS Daemon (Settings > UPS Settings > "Start APC UPS Daemon" should be set to Yes > Apply) I'd recommend you test to see if your UPS actually bleeps - pull the power out of the wall is one way. Here's a copy of my terminal session, including my first attempt to run apctest before I stopped the APC UPS Daemon: Linux 4.19.56-Unraid. root@Tower:~# sudo apctest 2019-10-15 11:15:59 apctest 3.14.14 (31 May 2016) slackware Checking configuration ... sharenet.type = Network & ShareUPS Disabled cable.type = USB Cable mode.type = USB UPS Driver apctest FATAL ERROR in apctest.c at line 313 Unable to create UPS lock file.

Here's my entry. Congrats on 14 years!

Hi, I'm setting up Traefik (which I became used to running Ubuntu Server), but the question is more generic than that. I need to add ~5 Labels to many docker containers. Previously, when I was using Docker Compose to orchestrate things, this was a simple but attention-requiring Copy & Paste and replace the relevant bits. Through the UI I'm finding it more time consuming (although not impossible). I was wondering if there was a method or approach to speed up the task, at least as much as it can be. Thanks EDIT: Ok this really wasn't that bad in the end. A text editor with what I had to copy and paste speeded things up a lot and you can use Traefik with as little as 3 Labels. Also, contrary to my earlier confusion, I mean Labels, not Environment Variables.

You have a new follower, me, @hpka on Twitter

Can you say how you identified the SSD as faulty other than deduction? I'm having similar symptoms to yours (8core xeon being e3-1220 v2 being maxed by the usual dockers) and my SSD is one of the re-used components. This is one of the more useful threads I've seen on this matter.
