Forgot to update, last night after having 6.10rc2 on there I decided to install win11 just to see. and everything works as expected. So yeah that's the trick, re-install windows.

Decided to check if these performance issues still exist on 6.10 rc2, and they do... I'm gonna be stuck on 6.8.3 forever

Tried with 6.9.2 and virtio drivers 0.1.208 and still bad... So back to 6.8.3 I go, and there I'll stay until 6.10 (hopefully I can go to that).

Okay so I rolled back the system BIOS (since I also did that), no change. So then I rolled back to 9.8.3, and bingo, back to working. Now I think I'm going to go back up to 6.9.2 and try updating the virtio drivers from 0.1.185 to 0.1.208 and see if that fixes things because I really want some of the features in 6.9.

So I just updated from 6.8.3 -> 6.9.2 (I know...) and all of the sudden my wife's and I's gaming VMs have TERRIBLE jumping when we try to play video games or even just moving stuff around on the screen. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? Setup: seventh gen i9 (we each get 10 dedicated cores) plenty of ram she has a 970ti passed through, I have a 1080 both vdisks run off the cache which is a nice and fast NVMe drive, nothing else should be accessing it other than our shared game bins It was working fine before I updated.

After my perf testing, and reading through the following, I'm just going to use SMB for now. https://landley.net/kdocs/ols/2010/ols2010-pages-109-120.pdf https://landley.net/kdocs/Documentation/filesystems/9p.txt https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8855143 Also looks like most of active dev work on virtio is for the Rust version (https://gitlab.com/virtio-fs/virtiofsd). I know the kernel is moving (perhaps including more that moving) that way, and fortunately for us unRAID keeps on a pretty new kernel, so perhaps we'll get to play with VirtIO-FS in 6.10:

I too have spent the last few hours messing with 9pfs and have been seeing some pretty poor performance. I use the following fstab options and get about 90MiB/s read and write (tested with fio and 4K block size; 128k and 256k saw slightly better performance) epi_af /root/9pf_mount 9p trans=virtio,_netdev,rw 0 0 Adding 'msize=262144' or 'msize=524288' helps a tiny bit, epically with larger blocksize workloads I too would rather not use SMB, but seeing as I get about 900-1100 MiB/s using SMB (which is almost exactly what I get to the virtual disk) I think that's what I think I'm going to go with, unless I can find a 9pfs solution.

I was having some issues using UNRAID in my corporate environment because there was a proxy for out side access. This was causing issues installing plugins and using plugins if I was able to "make" them install (doing it semi-manually by modifying the .plg file). I wasn't able to find anything online so I wanted to share what worked for me. I'm not sure if the bash profile was needed, or if just adding the exports to the go file does the trick; but I'm to lazy to figure it out since it's working: modify the '/boot/config/go' as such. NOTE: you will need to fill-in/replace your own details for the export statments. #!/bin/bash export http_proxy=http://my-proxy-server.com:1111 export ftp_proxy=http://my-proxy-server.com:1111 export https_proxy=http://my-proxy-server.com:1111 export no_proxy=my.com,.my.com,192.168.0.0/16,localhost,127.0.0.0/8,134.134.0.0/16 # Start the Management Utility /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & echo "test -f /boot/config/mybashprofile && source /boot/config/mybashprofile" >> /root/.bash_profile Create '/boot/config/mybashprofile' with the following contents. export http_proxy=http://my-proxy-server.com:1111 export ftp_proxy=http://my-proxy-server.com:1111 export https_proxy=http://my-proxy-server.com:1111 export no_proxy=my.com,.my.com,192.168.0.0/16,localhost,127.0.0.0/8,134.134.0.0/16

I figured it out: I had to reboot after naming server in 'Settings -> Identification'. I had the 'Settings -> SMB Settings -> Active Directory Settings' wrong: Here the 'AD short domain name' refers to the 'my' in 'my.domain.name'. Hope this helps if anyone else runs into it.

I'm probably doing something wrong, and was hoping I could get some help from those that have it working Here is my 'Settings -> Identification' config: Here is my 'Settings -> SMB Settings' config:

I'm having the same problem with a Renesas USB PCIe AIC. Any luck figuring it out?

Only one thing?... 1) dynamic raid for my old ass drives, with ease to add/swap out better ones as my budget allows. 2) Simple user interface. 3) Some really good plugins. 4) best of all: KVM! I was able justify upgrading my CPU and SSD to the wife by show how much we could both benefit by sharing resources. 2 gaming rigs, plus plex, plus hackintosh, plus work NAS all in one! Biggest request would be multiple arrays, one for fast SSDs and one for huge slow HDDs. But would also would like to see a parity option for non cache pool drives to the array, a scheduled one so that performance isn’t hit, but some degree of protection can exist.
