I lost samba access after a VM switch to another VM. I shut down windows 10 vm, booted up a MacOS VM and shut it down after 10 minutes. Rebooted windows 10 VM and lost access to all samba shares (both private and globally shared) Restarted array - rebooted server - still no access... Connectivity is fine - ip is acquired - internet access - unraid webui access uninterrupted. Writing this post from my VM right now. No special samba config - latest version of unraid - had problems with with samba in 6.10 that was temporarily fixed with 6.10.2 My win 10 laptop and ipad have samba access with no problems in r/w. Diagnostics attached. If anyone has any idea what's going on. tower-diagnostics-20221206-1516.zip <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <domain type='kvm' id='1'> <name>Windows 10 Gaming</name> <uuid>1ceb4865-fde4-e203-e636-5d4d56568f8a</uuid> <description>GamingVM</description> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="Windows 10" icon="windows.png" os="windows10"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>13107200</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>13107200</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>8</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='4'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='12'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='5'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='13'/> <vcpupin vcpu='4' cpuset='6'/> <vcpupin vcpu='5' cpuset='14'/> <vcpupin vcpu='6' cpuset='7'/> <vcpupin vcpu='7' cpuset='15'/> <emulatorpin cpuset='1,9'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-7.1'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/1ceb4865-fde4-e203-e636-5d4d56568f8a_VARS-pure-efi.fd</nvram> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <hyperv mode='custom'> <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> <vendor_id state='on' value='none'/> </hyperv> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none' migratable='on'> <topology sockets='1' dies='1' cores='4' threads='2'/> <cache mode='passthrough'/> <feature policy='require' name='topoext'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/cache/domains/Windows 102/vdisk1.img' index='1'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='virtio-disk2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='qemu-xhci' ports='15'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'> <alias name='pci.0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:e3:1f:69'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target type='isa-serial' port='0'> <model name='isa-serial'/> </target> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/0'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-1-Windows 10 Gaming/org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='disconnected'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input0'/> </input> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input1'/> </input> <audio id='1' type='none'/> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0b' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev0'/> <rom file='/mnt/user/domains/1050tiGamingvbios_edited.rom'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0b' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0c' slot='0x00' function='0x3'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev3'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <memballoon model='none'/> </devices> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac' relabel='yes'> <label>+0:+100</label> <imagelabel>+0:+100</imagelabel> </seclabel> </domain>

Works fine now! Thank you!!!

Same here.

Emulator cores should be free non pinned cores outside the vm core range. I think it works better this way. IOthread as well. Outside the pinned vm core range. in your xml change these lines to this <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='4'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='12'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='5'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='13'/> <vcpupin vcpu='4' cpuset='7'/> <vcpupin vcpu='5' cpuset='15'/> <emulatorpin cpuset='1,9'/> <iothreadpin iothread='2' cpuset='3,11'/> </cputune> How about your memory? XMP profiles? I ditched the xmp and lowered my memory frequency fro increased stability. The performance difference is minimal. Here is my fully working lag free vm template. Comparing it with yours can help. <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <domain type='kvm' id='6'> <name>Windows 102</name> <uuid>ae460622-5497-4ee3-14af-6b8efd7fffc2</uuid>

I would try to set up windows with i440fx-4.2 instead of q35 for start. Would add to the cputune section of the xml these lines, adjusted for your case: <emulatorpin cpuset='5,13'/> <iothreadpin iothread='2' cpuset='4,12'/> Make sure you have installed virtio-drivers and you don't have any unknown devices in windows device manager. I had a little bit of stuttering myself in a windows machine and solved it by pinning the first 8 threads on my 2700 and not the last ones. I think that the pci and sata link works better this way.
