Can you raise a bug report with diagnostics and I will see if I can reproduce. Does 9P work ok?

 

Looks ok on my VM.

  • Thanks to @SimonF!

  • You need to still add this manually to the XML, I am looking at making it automatic in the future.   <memoryBacking> <source type='memfd'/> <access mode='shared'/>

    Can we please get some official documentation on how to mount Unraid directly into Windows and Linux VMs with Virtiofs?  Documentation is all over the place and I'm having to piece together info from

Certainly the new integration of the VirtioFS is exciting. I upgraded to 6.11.1 with no problems. I got VirtioFS working on a windows 10  vm . I get an unexpected result - I can read all the data I want from the share, I can delete anything I want, I can create folders.....but I can't create files. I tried this on a BTRFS and XFS filesystem. The VM user is one of the approved users for those shares (although that is likely irrelevant because this would bypass all user permissions). Where would I look to start diagnosing this?

Failed upgrade for me. Everything seemed fine, now it just loops when trying to reboot and load the OS... any suggestions welcome.

 

Replaced the root files with the files stored in the "previous" folder to rollback and im back up. I also tried updating the bz files from the 6.11.1 download from the website with the same results with the system not loading. 

 

Once 6.11 was working tried to upgrade again to 6.11.1 and observed the same (failed) behavior. I am running a asrock taichi x299 with intel processor if that helps

I will look into permissions for Windows connections, Can we use this thread to post Viritiofs and Windows issues.

 

The poster of the thread has already found that with Windows you can only map one mapping. Fix is already in place for multiple but not released.

 

Looks like Windows is not as mature as Linux.

For windows you need to install additional parts on  the guest. https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/howto-windows.html

 

For a linux guest you just mount the share   sudo mount -t virtiofs unraidshare /mnt/unraiddata/

 

 

I added the additional windows parts but i never see the new devices in device manager.

You most likely already tried these suggestions, but did you run a file check / or reformat your usb drive, or even trying another usb drive?  Did you try booting into SAFE mode?  If SAFE mode works, grab the diag file.  Maybe search through the logs.  Did you check to see if asrock has a bios update for your mb?  Try turning off all dockers and VM's before upgrading.  Did you run the Fix Common and Upgrade assistant checks?

 

This issue comes up from time to time for some people.  Let us know what the solution was once you sort it out.

Where did you post the bug report? can you add a link?

Yes I think that may be outdated. as I didnt find it either. You should just need to start the service and z: drive will be mapped. I just run the virtiofs.exe for testing without a service.

Make sure you don't have another network drive or something mapped to Z:, the Virtio-FS service does not handle drive letter conflicts.

See my thread here for more details / troubleshooting Virtio-FS with windows:

Also, potential bug report here for the service restart issue I was encountering:

I posted it via the unraid server menu?!?!

ok, I think that goes to Limetech.

 

you can create on forums in bug reports

Still don't have an answer on this. I feel I'm being ignored.

 

 

After updating to 6.11.1 my Win11 VM (which ran fine just before the update) will not boot anymore, just goes into startup repair straight away. Trying to change vdisk mode to SATA doesn't help, playing with the q35 version doesn't either.

I tried to turn the VM service off and back on, but it won't turn on again saying libvirt.img is in use.

 

Oct  9 22:41:26 Unraid  emhttpd: shcmd (464): /usr/local/sbin/mount_image '/mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img' /etc/libvirt 1
Oct  9 22:41:27 Unraid root: '/mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img' is in-use, cannot mount

There is no mount for it , losetup -l hovever still shows a loop device for it, but losetup -d /dev/loop3 does nothing.

 

/dev/loop3         0      0         1  0 /mnt/cache/system/libvirt/libvirt.img   1     512

 

Unfortunately can't stop array for the next 20ish hours as I'm in the middle of a parity check.

Hi all, is there a quick/easy way to backup the flash drive before performing upgrade?

Thanks!

I was a bit concerned about my VMs, particularly the Windows 11 one but the upgrade was uneventful.

 

Thank you team for continuing to improve Unraid! 🤓

 

Does anyone have virtiofs working with Steam games? Specifically those that use Proton?

 

I can't launch games when I do it I get 'OSError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported'.

 

Non proton games seem to work OK.

It's a hard drive, yes?  Wouldn't it just work?  😇 

 

I'm using the SATA version of the Seagate Exos X18 without any issues... this one:  https://www.seagate.com/products/enterprise-drives/exos-x/x18/

Seems a bit more complex than that as it is two volumes in one HDD package. I guess it should work, but can't be sure.

It should work as two 14TB hard drives.

Not sure you would get the performance benefits under Unraid, and it could be an expensive experiment to try one?

Not quite.

It should work as two 7TB hard drives.
