    [GUIDE] Virtualizing unRAID on Proxmox 3.1

    more reliable for me (than NFS) was a simple SMB-share from unRAID, configured as storage inside PROXMOX. it's fast and simply works.

    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.

    well, i used the cache ssd in passthrough mode for several reasons: speed and avoidance of write amplification. for a fast/responsive system, unRAID needs a fast device for it's docker storage and i didn't want to use a block device on another storage in another system. so this has the advantage of (in case it's necessary) to simply boot from the usb-stick natively in unRAID and have everything working (because cache device was passed through).

    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.
