Bump...

I have a security DVR that can mount and record to an external NFS drive - very useful.. other than it sees the whole 25TB I have ‘free’ on the array and tries to fill it with placeholder recordings to claim the space. I’d like to be able to somehow limit this and since NFS quotas do not seem available in unraid then I have been thinking about creating a virtual disk image, mounting that and then exporting that as an NFS share. What are your thoughts on this - feasible or is there a simpler way? How would I go about doing it within the unraid interface?

I have an Eaton 5P UPS which seems to work well and I get data from it in the UPS settings. However the logs are being spammed every minute with 'Communications restored with UPS'. The cable is brand new and I've tried changing the polling interval in the settings.. slightly confused as to what to try next!?

Seems to be a known issue with Catalina for the moment not behaving nicely with NAS... What a shitshow this OS release is...

Yes I have...

Whilst working with files on a Mac (Cataline 10.15.4), sometimes the finder windows will give me the error in the title when trying to copy or move something. The only solution seems to be forcing a restart of finder - after which it works perfectly for an hour or two before this issue rears its head again. This is on Unraid 6.8.3, with 'Enhanced macOS interoperability' turned on. Any idea where to start looking to narrow this down?

+1 here. SAS drives are a great deal on eBay - but they're all currently spun up...

Any ideas when this is coming? Keeping 8 7200 SAS drives going all the time feels a waste...

I think I’ve got it figured out - I was using PSU2 and idrac gave a critical power warning (wasn’t happy that PSU1 was either not present or not being used) which I believe was causing it to throttle. I’ve switched to PSU1 and changed the profile to “performance” in BIOS and I’m getting the performance now that I’d expect.

I think I've found why... for some reason the CPUs are clocking well below where they should (even though Windows reports it's pegged at 2.9Ghz). Whilst running Geekbench in Windows, if I do a cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz: root@PowerPig:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz cpu MHz : 1199.905 cpu MHz : 1199.911 cpu MHz : 1199.913 cpu MHz : 1199.919 cpu MHz : 1199.899 cpu MHz : 1199.899 cpu MHz : 1199.894 cpu MHz : 1199.908 cpu MHz : 1199.895 cpu MHz : 1199.925 cpu MHz : 1199.909 cpu MHz : 1199.907 cpu MHz : 1199.911 cpu MHz : 1199.905 cpu MHz : 1199.905 cpu MHz : 1199.907 cpu MHz : 1199.897 cpu MHz : 1199.887 cpu MHz : 1199.900 cpu MHz : 1199.910 cpu MHz : 1199.934 cpu MHz : 1199.902 cpu MHz : 1199.906 cpu MHz : 1199.893 cpu MHz : 1199.889 cpu MHz : 1199.903 cpu MHz : 1199.907 cpu MHz : 1199.910 cpu MHz : 1199.909 cpu MHz : 1199.910 cpu MHz : 1199.911 cpu MHz : 1199.912 Now to figure out why..

I have 2 Xeon E5 2690s (eight core, 2.9Ghz) and 384 ram so not short of resources. I'm trying UnRAID (used to ESXI) as it seems to be interesting and I've seen a fair bit of buzz about it lately so wanted to give it a go before I purchase. However I'm having some serious issues with performance on VMs. I first noticed that the Linux VM felt rather laggy and today have installed Windows 10 which will be my main VM (headless) for some development and gaming. My Windows 10 VM is configured with 8 pinned cores (16 threads) and 16gb ram - core 8 onwards so it should all be on one physical CPU. I've run a Cinebench R20 score which was disappointing - 684. I've also run a Geekbench 5 score - an appalling 235 single and 1841 multicore. For context, I have another machine using an AMD Opteron 3280 (8 core, 2.4ghz) running Windows 10 with only 4 cores assigned through ESXI that pulls in 384 on single core... Sometime seems badly wrong? Diagnostics attached. powerpig-diagnostics-20190919-1816.zip
