TL;DR: Check vdisk path upon editing the template. I have a VM named Spynet, which has a correct vdisk path by /mnt/user/domains/Skynet/vdisk1.iso Whenever I edit the template, the template thinks the vdisk location is /mnt/user/domains/Spynet/vdisk1.iso which doesnt actually exist and results in the that dreaded Updating... The bug here would be, that the template does not remember the manual location and always reverts to auto which always looks from the vdisk inside the VMs namesake folder. Hope this helps someone.

This is great! The backup is from this monday, the disk assignments are the same.

Hello, Today, in the middle of troubleshooting my USB controller not resetting properly (that error 127 thing), my flash drive died. Most of the files on it are missing and corrupted. Chkdsk corrected a few things, but things still look the same. I have a backup of the flash drive on my array (lesson learned there) which obviously I couldn't get to when creating a new bootable flash drive. I had to replace to old key. Since I got to my backups with starting the array with correct disk assignments, my question is if I could just copy over all the files (except the old key) from the backup to the new flash device (or whatever the correct way of doing would be). Would that work without me having to redo all the settings over again? Thank you

I don't want to open a new thread. I have a 250GB cache drive which I'm playing to replace with 2x2TB drives. The way I want to go about it is just add one 2TB SSD, wait for rebalance to do its thing, then replace the 250GB drive with the second 2TB in its place. Would that be the correct way to go about it, without going the longer route of using mover and changing share options?

@trurl I mounted a "master" share like that to avoid slow moves between different shares on the array. I haven't even considered that would bypass the security which is completely logical as thats how that was written. After disconnecting the share and browsing \\localIP eveything works as intended. @Frank1940 I was careful to not fall into that windows trap, following spaceinvaders videos. Thank you guys!

Hello there, Upon looking over this topic I don't think I've seen anything resembling my issue. My issue is that the permissions I set for shares in Unraid are being ignored on my mapped drives in windows (and linux) which means I have r/w permission for all shares, no matter the security set for each and additionally the export setting is being ignored and even the shares which have export set to no are visible. For example I can r/w on a private share which should only be accessible by a different user and I can r/w on a secure share even tho it's set as r/o for my username. I'm trying to avoid public shares (was reading that ransomware topic :D) and I am logged in on windows via credential manager which is set to correct user and password as set in Unraid. This is my setting for mapping the share in windows: [Tower] path = /mnt/user comment = browseable = yes valid users = davor write list = davor vfs objects =

I boot my unraid in headless mode with a dedicated GPU and without an iGPU on the CPU. The dedicated GPU then passes to any VM I choose to start without a problem. Does that qualify as truly headless?

Hello there, I managed to find a bunch of older topics with a similar issue, but I was however not able to work out a solution from those topics. The problem is as follows. I cannot copy files over 7GB in size over to array or to an unassigned disk, because windows 10 vm always throws me an error that only 7.04 GB is available to me at any given UD or share. The first copy was from a windows 10 vm to an unassigned drive and the second was from the same vm to the array. The same error pops up. My array looks like this: diagnostics in the attachments. I usually worked around these problems in the past with krusader, but this time I cannot since I want to copy files from inside a vdisk. Thank you! tower-diagnostics-20200418-1042.zip

How can I get custom columns for "Added" and "Completed" to stay there after reboot? Thanks!

Hello, I did a really stupid thing where I wanted to increase the VDisk size to a VM, but by sheer stupidity on my part forgot to add G at the end, so it came out like 1000B. Now my VM VDisk allocation says only 4K, like it deleted 900G worth of data and everything off of it and the VM just boots into nothing. Can I by any chance fix it?

Post your xml config. VM experience, to a degree, depends on how you set the vm up.

I had similar issue once, when trying to use 2 graphic cards. I do not remember exactly what I did to make it work, but I ditched the idea because the gaming performance running off a second pcie slot was horrible. Try only using the 1080ti in the first slot. Run unraid in faceless mode, make a user script to stub the card after boot and then try passing it to a vm.

Have u tried making a new VM with the same setting to test if that one would throw the same errors?

Update: Plugging the unassigned SSD directly to the motherboard sata did seem to solve the issue. I haven't however updated the FW on the raid card. I think the thread can be marked as solved. Thank you @johnnie.black 🍻

I'll try pluging the disk to onboard sata and I'll report back in a few days if anything changes. I will also look into how to flash new firmware onto my lsi card. Thank you!

In this particular case I tried to run a Linux VM (with GPU passthrough), before I noticed sdc was already missing, so naturally nothing happened because the vdisk was not found. I have no clue what happened to the disk before that. As far as I know group 26 refers to the GPU. 26:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU106 [GeForce RTX 2070] (rev a1) But yeah, it sure looks like thats the case. If the VMs are off, the disk disappears. Before this diagnostic, I just rebooted unraid and went afk for a while without any VM started.

So this is a fresh diagnostic. I rebooted the system and didn't start a VM for a few minutes. Unassigned disk went to sleep and now its under missing historical devices and cannot be woken up unless I reboot. From what I can see now, there was an i/o error on sdc (the unassigned drive) which caused to drive to unmount. As a curiosity question, which file system would u guys recommend for an unassigned drive running windows, linux and mac VMs?

Hello guys, I run my VMs off an unassigned SSD, which runs great. The problem is when overnight I turn my VMs off and the drive eventually goes to sleep (from green to grey), it also then eventually goes missing (appears as historical devices of something like that) and remains missing until I reboot the server. I was thinking if maybe there was a way to make the disk never "spin down" or if there is something else happening. I attached my diagnostic file, but will it even help now that I have already rebooted? Thank for any answers! tower-diagnostics-20191127-1355.zip

Thanks for answering. I saw this, yes. I did manage to figure out where the kdb files are and that the correct locale for me is 'slovene', however when I type loadkeys slovene it says its loaded but nothing really changes. Editing go file as the link suggests also yields no change. Its still stuck on US.

No no, not the login screen. I can get to GUI just fine, I just cant deal with the (nonweb) Unraid GUI keyboard being US. Thats what Id like to tackle first, before I continue on what I set out to do. As a note, I controlled the old system via webGUI, but this isnt an option here as a gaming VM needs to run natively (or am I missing something?) Thanks.

Hello there, A new noob user here. So far I have been playing with unraid on a old computer setting it as a home NAS and Ive been very pleased with everzthing. I almost bought the license but then a new thought appeared. It would be even better if I moved those same old disk to my current gaming machine, set up some VMs and GPU passthrough and try out a do-it-all system. However, I am now be stuck at the verz begining because I cant figure out how to change the keyboard language to... well anything really, let alone my Slovenian locale. Doing some googling led me old topics which didnt really help me fix this /kbd package and loadkeys option.../. As its been years since requests to add this to unraid started appearing, as no other topics I found seemed to help me and because I would never figure it out on my own as my Linux knowledge is very limited, I decided to ask the kind people here for help with a workaround or something to fix this. Pardon me for the keyboard errors, Im just not going to bother figuring US keyboard out.
