When you say not simultaneously Does that involve a reboot or just not having the VM running?

I'm currently running my Game VM using 5 Dedicated cores on my 10850K with a dedicated NVME drove and a 4080 card... If I'm being honest, I don't really game all that often. Between family (I have a 5 year old boy) and work (I run a small IT company) I just have other demands on my time. My Unraid server is used as a Media Server and Home Assistant server far more than for gaming. Is there any way to free up the 4080 for transcoding or other projects when the VM is not running? I'm currently passing it through without the use of a "Graphics ROM BIOS" and have it Bound to VFIO at boot... Thanks Arbadacarba

I'm wondering if anyone has tried accessing a DVD drive in Unraid. I have a LARGE number of disks with various files on them and would like to be able to access them in Unraid. Maybe from within Krusader? Has anyone tried this? I've done some searching and come up empty. (Or with so many irrelevant hits that I can't find anything. I've use Ripper in the past so I know the disk is working, but I want to be able to check disks and copy folders into my archives. Thanks

Have you got a monitor hooked up to the server? You should see its current IP on the login screen... Then yu can either temporarily set a computer to hook in in the right range, or boot it with the GUI to reconfigure.

If they show up as two different IOMMU groups, you should be able to pass a pair of them through. Have you tried it yet? I'd be more concerned if they will work properly in pfsense... (I've been hurt before)

Could just have the last step of the survey show the complete text of what is uploaded, so there is no question of what is being collected.

Really curious if this helps... and if so which direction.

+1 Absolutely

Adding my vote to this... I have a fair number of drives but still have to scroll to see info in column 1

Is it possible you just have kworker going haywire?

When I had a similar situation, I ran the experiment of comparing Array Stopping Times with the VM engine shut down and with the Docker engine shut down. Turned out in my case that the pfsense VM was not shutting down... I solved the same issue on a proxmox server by installing the QEMU Guest Agent. And have done so on most of my VM's to facilitate better integration for shutdowns etc.

You mentioned that the shutdown, after which it ran a Parity Check was clean; but you also mentioned that shutting down the array took a very long time... If the array does not shut down in 90 seconds (that's what mine is set for) it will foce the issue and do an unclean shutdown.

Is your phone asking for permission to share files or is it in "File Transfer" mode?

Hmm, I might try that... Would that just affect the transfers to the array? And would not spin them all up if I were just reading from one or another? But how about the numbers I'm getting? Are they reasonable? Thanks JorgeB Arbadacarba

I tried looking for this but get so many confounding variables that I can't find the information I'm looking for. I have 3 pools: Array - 6 Disks Plus Parity where individual Shares are locked to specific Drives (Television Shows on Disk 1, Music on Disk 3, etc. - So that the movie disk can stay spun down whien I'm mostly listening to Music, and my AudioBook disk might be spun down for weeks at a time) Config - 1 2TB NVME disk with VM's and system files on (I wish I had named this pool System, but I think I saw a reason not to do so) Cache - 2 SSD's (Containing my Download folder, and of course, cache) My question is, what transfer speeds are reasonable if I tell Krusader to Move a large file from me Cache over to the Array (etc.)? I'm assuming the Write Speed of the recieving pool/disk is the deciding factor, and everything seems to be working great, but I just want to know if I am getting the Speeds I should expect. I assume when I move a file to the array, it goes to the Cache first... I'm trying to run a few tests and have included the results below: Copy 40GB file from NVME to Cache Copy 40GB file from NVME to Array (Non Caching) Bounced between 60 and 85 Copy 40GB file from Cache to Array (Non Caching) Bounced between 50 and 75 Copy 40GB file from Cache to NVME Copy 40GB file from Array (Non Caching) to Array (Non Caching) (2nd Disk) Bounced between 63 and 81 Copy 40GB file from Array (Non Caching) to Cache Bounced between 218 and 224 Copy 40GB file from Array (Non Caching) to NVME Bounced between 213 and 224 Methodology: - I'm running File Copy from inside the Shares page. - I feel like I'm seeing virtually the same results whether I Move or Copy, but if I run the tests from within Windows, I see a difference between Move and Copy. - Moving 1Large File verses Several Small Files - I took note at about 50% because the numbers had seemingly normalized at that point Are these numbers about right? OR have I got something horribly misconfigured? Again, it is working great... The only concern I have is the occasional CRC Issue on the Cache Disks

If you were to try and Add a drive does it offer you the drives that are in the system? Perhaps you need to create a new config and add the drives back into the array? Should retain the data if you create a new config

I've seen this and the solution was to clear the browser cache. Worth a try.

I had to google to to figure out what TRaSH Guides was... It's a guide for improving the results he was getting from Radarr and sonarr... OR I'm looking at the wrong thing entirely... https://trash-guides.info/ To be honest he is setting things up a little strangely... About the only benefit I can see from his method is that you can limit your mapping down to one setting... But that can be done more easily as well... Certainly there may be benefit from this technique, but if it aint broke... If you are looking for simple and functional sharing structures I would set each media type up as a share... I understand the dissatisfaction of mixing great and not so great copies of movies and music, but having them split up between various sources seems like a mess to me. I managed all of my music by hand before I discovered Unraid and honestly find the Unraid default to be very functional. The only thing I do is restrict the various shares to individual drives so that I can send the idle drives to sleep and not risk long pauses between tv episodes or music tracks while drives spin up.

I didn't realise you could get deprecated apps.. Good to know thank you

The Data folder that has been advised is pretty standard practice when setting up small Windows server installs... But that is because the infrastructure is not nearly as robust in Windows as it is in Unraid. Any chance the person/site that recomended that method is NOT familiar with Unraid?

Appearently it was deprecated because of the new browse function on the share page... But personally I miss it, and the ability to find config files so easily.

One other suggestion: Copy the XML text and paste it over rather than recreating the configuration in the GUI

I'm wondering if something changed with the pfsense build, because I would swear that the system was not performing the soft shutdown. I built a test vm last night and it does now perform the shutdown as desired. So maybe I don't really need the Guest Agent with pfsense. I'm still curious as to why it fails though.

I have a couple of Hypervisors with pfsense running on them (Unraid and Proxmox) and finally figured out a problem I'm having is caued by pfsense not shutting down when asked. So I installed the QEMU Guest Agent on the Proxmox VM and it seems to have worked beautifully. https://forum.netgate.com/topic/162083/pfsense-vm-on-proxmox-qemu-agent-installation So lets try the pfsense VM on the Unraid server: 1660578057.840915: debug: disabling command: guest-suspend-disk 1660578057.841103: debug: disabling command: guest-suspend-ram 1660578057.841109: debug: disabling command: guest-suspend-hybrid 1660578057.841113: debug: disabling command: guest-set-vcpus 1660578057.841116: debug: disabling command: guest-get-memory-blocks 1660578057.841119: debug: disabling command: guest-set-memory-blocks 1660578057.841122: debug: disabling command: guest-get-memory-block-size 1660578057.841126: debug: disabling command: guest-get-memory-block-info 1660578057.841129: debug: disabling command: guest-fsfreeze-status 1660578057.841137: debug: disabling command: guest-fsfreeze-freeze 1660578057.841140: debug: disabling command: guest-fsfreeze-freeze-list 1660578057.841144: debug: disabling command: guest-fsfreeze-thaw 1660578057.841147: debug: disabling command: guest-fstrim 1660578057.841185: critical: error opening channel: No such file or directory 1660578057.841190: critical: error opening channel 1660578057.841193: critical: failed to create guest agent channel 1660578057.841196: critical: failed to initialize guest agent channel OK, I'm clearly missing something... How do I get Unraid to open that channel? from the xml: <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-37-pfSense - Cerberus/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> (To be fair the first install is on pfsense CE and the Unraid one is running pfsense plus... So that could be the cause but I don't think so. Thanks for any input jupiter-diagnostics-20220815-1228.zip

Creating a new config doesn't affect the array data, but eliminates Unraid's expectations for the drives. I had a problem where my Parity disc was falling offline due to a power problem... Creating a new configuration allowed me to reset the parity disc without messing with the array data.
