Downgraded to 6.12.9 and received same kernel BUG in system logs and parity check stalled about 2% in to the check. I'm pretty sure I did a full parity check while on 6.12.9 before, so something else appears to be wrong. I just finished a memtest and it came back as a Pass. Any other thoughts to help troubleshoot?

Successfully downgraded and running parity check now. If that fails again, I'll run a memtest and report back. Thanks for the insight.

Not a new server. I've been running unRAID on it for about a year and a half. I started with one of the 6.11 iterations I believe. I've always upgraded to the latest stable release along the way and recently upgraded to 6.12.10 on 4/6 (about 12 days ago).

It's still been 4 months, but note that RC2 didn't come out until November.

I had the same issue. I moved all the data off the drive in question, removed from array, re-formatted, and then added back to the array. All good now.

Yes, it's working...

Genious! Sound like I have my Windows backup solution now. One other quick question on your unRAID borg backup. How do you have the unassigned drive formatted? Did you just stick with XFS, or use something else for greater compatibility just in case you had to put the disk in another machine as part of a restore?

Ah yes, totally overlooked the write speed. Thanks for pointing that out. Curious on your thinking on this approach as well. Why not back up everything listed above directly to the unassigned drive that serves as your borg backup? Because essentially don't you end up having 4 copies of everything that is backed up to your unRAID "backup" share? Original copy unRAID "backup" share borg funnel backup of "backup" share remote backup Having an additional backup definitely doesn't harm anything (other than space I suppose), but again just curious on your approach as I have a similar set-up. I need to backup an iMac, Macbook, and PC in additional to the various shares on unRAID. I was going to try out Vorta (borg client for macOS). And with that, set up a similar backup schedule that I'll have with your borg container on unRAID. However, rather than back up my mac devices to a backup share on the unRAID array, create multiple borg repos for each "device" (unRAID, Macbook, iMac, etc.) on the unassigned disk. And then of course sync each repo to a remote backup location. Still tying to figure out my PC solution. Does that make sense? Anything I might be missing with this approach or any other thoughts you may have? I appreciate the help.

Why is the repo recommended to be on an unassigned drive? What are the downsides to using a disk in the array that is only used for backups? You then also get the parity protection. Generally curious on this one. Thanks.

Any luck figuring this out? I'm stuck on 6.8.3 for the exact same reason.

Good info, thanks. Any issues with the AQUANTIA 10Gbps NIC with unRAID?

Sounds like our use cases are very similar, so glad to hear you're happy with the build. Are you passing through just the one GPU or possibly a 2nd? I'd be looking to pass through two 3080s for some mining myself.

I've been looking to do a similar build using the same Asrock W480 Creator MB with the W-1290P. Aren't you able to use the built-in iGPU to transcode 4K content? That's one of the reasons I've been looking at this CPU along with the ECC support. Also, I'd be looking to passthrough some PCIe devices to a Windows VM. Are you able to share the W480 Creator IOMMU groupings? Overall, how happy are you with the build?

Do you perhaps have bonding enabled under network settings? I have the same board with an extra NIC as well, and am able to stub two of them on 6.8.3 and passthrough to two separate VMs. I tried 6.9 at one point too and didn't have any issue there either.
