  1. Upgrade did not go smooth for me. Thankfully I backed up my flash before upgrading. I upgraded through the webgui from the previous stable version. I received an error about waiting 30 seconds for device labeled UNRAID to load and after 30 seconds just rebooted. I ended up having to reflash the usb stick using the official unRaid usb creator and cooy back over my config folder to the flash. I then had to turn off SSL through SSH to be able to get back to the webgui.  For some reason PCIe ACS Overide setting was changed to disabled and I had to change that back to downstream to get my Sata HBA and GPU working again. I am on 6.10 now though.

  2. I have the same setup. I used a Dremel cutting wheel to cut off the back of the pci slot. I went very slow and made sure not to damage the pins. It was not what I would consider an easy task. I was not patient enough to wait for 16x>8x adapter. I used the 2nd pci slot as my video card covers two of the lower pci slots. I have my SAS HBA plugged into the first slot closest to the CPU. The graphics card is obviously only running at 8x pcie but it is fine for what little gaming I do. 1080p monitor. If I was patient I would have gone the adapter route personally.

  3. Below is my configuration with a working RX 590 pass through to Windows 10.

     

    Hardware

    Motherboard Supermicro X9SCM-F (modified pci express slot to fit X16 card) latest BIOS

    Processor Intel Xeon E3-1200

    Graphics Card XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy

     

    UnRaid Settings

    UnRaid booted in UEFI mode

    PCIe ACS override: Downstream

    VFIO allow unsafe interrupts: No

    Graphics pass through using vfio-pci.cfg method stored on flash drive

     

    Windows 10 VM config

    Machine: Q35-3.1

    BIOS: OVMF

    Hyper-V: Yes

    Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/590

     

    VM Settings

    Windows 10 VM set to boot in UEFI mode

    Latest VirtIO drivers

     

    When I first tried to use the RX590 my Windows 10 VM was using Machine: i440fx and SeaBios. This resulted in my server giving an error when trying to start the VM. I had to convert my Windows 10 VM to boot via UEFI and then the VM would not boot with SeaBios. I had to recreate my UnRaid Windows 10 VM config to boot with Machine: OVMF and BIOS: Q35 and it loaded right up. Installed the AMD driver from their website and I was up and running.  The only issue I have had with this setup is the known AMD reset bug. So if I have to stop the VM I have to reset the entire server to start the VM again or the whole server will freeze when trying to start the VM. From what I understand it has something to do with the AMD graphics card not properly releasing after VM shutdown. Please if you have any question on my setup ask and I can give you any information I might have left out. Hope you all get yours working as well.

  4. I have a RX 590 passed through to windows 10. I had to convert my windows 10 VM to uefi boot mode to get it working properly. Also, I have observed that if I stop the VM I have to reboot the whole server or upon VM start my server freezes. I do not stop the VM very often however so it has not been much of an issue. I am unable to post the Unraid VM config at the moment but I will tomorrow.

  5. I just went through a day and a half of fiddling with my unraid server getting my new RX 590 working in windows 10 VM. Same situation either freezing or black screen while installing the graphics driver. The last steps I took before giving up and returning the card. I updated my bios. I upgraded to the latest Unraid RC 3. I used the new method of stubbing the device using the BIND= method. I then changed my configuration of the VM to OVMF I think. Not at home right now. I think my card required UEFI to operate and changing the machine type was the fix for me. It looks like your machine type is set to what I had before I changed it.

     

    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-3.0'>hvm</type>

  6. I have two 12 year old twin sons that have been enjoying their PS4 consoles for a couple years now and have recently asked for gaming PCs for Christmas. I immediately thought yeah! I will get a Threadripper2 and setup two gaming VMs! My current unRaid server has a Xeon E3-1230 v2 but not enough to handle an additional 2 gaming VMs. The wife set me about a $2000 budget and unfortunately when I looked at setting up a PC that can handle two gaming VMs it will just cost too much. When I looked at setting up 2 separate gaming PCs it is much more achievable. I have put together some equipment that I believe will make for a respectable mid range budget gaming PCs. I am asking for input or ideas that can improve the gaming experience. Thanks for your input!

  7. I have seen questions from other users regarding the moving of files already on a server. I see comments back that explain files should not be moved from the array to user shares. Files should only be moved to disk shares for fear of file corruption. I use a cache drive but only for hosting VMs and Docker configs. My user shares all go directly to the parity protected array and bypass the cache. I have an unassigned devices scratch drive mounted where I transfer files onto the server. I then use midnight commander through the shell to move the files from the /mnt/disks directory utilized by the unassigned devices plugin and transfer the files to the /mnt/user shares. I have done it this way for a few years now. I have not seen any issues doing it this way so far. Is there a problem with this data flow that I should fear data corruption?

  8. I get connection refused every time I run the block lists update.  I'm running unraid 6.5 and have PiHole running on it's own IP.  I've forwarded my dhcp servers DNS ip to the PiHole ip.  Everything seems to be functioning except it isn't blocking anything.image.thumb.png.c90e1abeae39905d5fbfb525ee698c3a.pngimage.thumb.png.605a1c4de292fb77601d273816e2bbf7.png  

    Thoughts?

     

     

     It shows 0 domains on the block list. It is failing when downloading the lists it seems.

    Do you have the dns entry in the extra cmd as seen in the picture?

     

  9. Thank you @Mikki I appreciate your help! I was able to get this working by installing the steamcache-generic docker and a dnsmasq docker from jpillora/dnsmasq. The steamcache-dns docker is missing the Sony servers for some reason. Will save me some bandwidth now!

     

  10. I would like to see the next scheduled parity check date under the "Last finished parity check" on the main array page. It would help remind me not to schedule something that would interfere with the scheduled parity check. I only perform scheduled parity check once a quarter. It could simply say "Next scheduled parity check: 3/11/2018 at 03:00." Or just a count down.. Whatever is easier.

  11. I am using steamcache, working perfect, using docker on unraid.

    I tried to set this up to cache my sons PlayStation 4 updates so they only have to download once on our slow internet. Unfortunately I could not get this to work. I was really confused how to setup all the dockers. Happen to have a write up of the process?
  12. After having seen unRAID in action on several YouTube channels for a while, I figured out I'd give it a try. I'll be getting my server in a couple of weeks, but there is one thing I have left to figure out. Is their a docker container you can install to run the Ubiquiti UniFi Controller of your unRAID server? I know that FreeNAS has one. Would be great having to avoid setting up a VM just to run the software. 
     
    As I am new to unRAID and a new member of the forum, please let me know if the topic was posted in the wrong section. 



    Yes, I am using Linuxserver.io’s Docker. It is updated with current stable release. There is also another Docker that runs the beta.
  13. Was adding some files to the server and I noticed my parity drive was deactivated with a red x. I attached diagnostics. If someone could review them and can tell if the drive is bad I would appreciate it. Troubleshooting already performed: I shut down the server and ensured the sata and power cable were seated well. Only thing I  see different other than the red x is the drive is no longer reporting a temperature like the other drives.

  14. I have both actually. I started with the ERL and it is by far more powerful with the options you can set from the GUI/CLI. I lacked the skills to program a lot of it however. I found that the USG is better suited for me as it works natively with UniFi controller. I do not use the advanced features the ERL offered anyhow. I liked the UniFi controller setup and it auto configured the USG for me. It is kind of like unRaid vs full blown Linux solution involving CLI setup and everything. If you need features that are not currently offered in the UniFi controller then the ERL is going to be the better option for sure.

  15. I have one NIC pass through to pfsense for WAN and I set the unraid created bridge as LAN. I had to modify the bridge in pfsense VM xml to display the Bridge as an e1000 Ethernet adapter instead of the default virtio adapter that unraid assigns. Unraid gets its IP from the bridge and the physical NIC feeds my switch for other devices in my LAN. Hope that made sense.
