Thank you for your response and that's good to know and I think that's what I am going to do. NFS has been nothing but trouble. Especially with the mover messing with hardlinks and such. "Stale file handles" when the mover runs are the biggest problem. I didn't mean I was going to have a remote cache. I have trouble passing through the NVMe to the unraid VM because it's using a PCIe adapter. It keeps kernal panicking on me so I had to remove it. I have my HBA passed through without any issues. My latest plan is to just passthrough the NVMe disk as a virtual device (iscsi2) to the VM and use that as the cache. From what I've read it's not much of a performance hit vs direct passthrough.

I am about to embark on this journey. When you move unraid to a VM, how do you move all the docker data? Like my current running dockers and their settings? I am not moving my current cache drive. Do I just restore my appdata backup? Is that sufficient? I am also curious if it's possible to pass through a LVM-thin from the PVE host to unraid to share data as I'd like to have a shared drive between unraid and pve on top of the HBA i'm passing through to unraid. I could pass through a drive and make it available as a NFS from within unraid and then access it via proxmox but that kind of feels more complicated than it needs to be.

Facing this issue as well. I've turned hardlinks off.. Even if that's an option it doesn't seem to help.

I love how easy it is to get started and how versatile it is as a homelab server I would like to see native iSCSI support as I would like to move and use my game library from the server via 10gbe.
