May 16, 20233 yr I have aloted 30gb to my vm. I plan on running Blue Iris on it eventually. But after installing Windows 10 Pro, I'm only getting 6gb free out of 30. What am I missing. Still new at unraid and vms. Thanks Edited May 16, 20233 yr by gadget069
May 16, 20233 yr Windows update will fill that space rather quickly. If you can't give the VM more space, maybe try using one of the "Lite" windows installs with all the extra junk stripped out.

May 22, 20233 yr Proper advice is to keep the OS vdisk small (40ish GB) and have the footage be stored on a network share that would be an unraid user share). You can disable things like hibernation and pagefile (if you have enough RAM allocated to the VM) to reduce OS disk space usage. Edited May 22, 20233 yr by Kilrah

The problem I'm having just in testing is the CPU pegging 100% and freezing the VM. I've seen multiple threads with this issue. I'm starting to wondering if I'm asking to much from my CPU.Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk
June 3, 20233 yr Don't really know that app but it seems it's pretty CPU-heavy indeed unless you record without reencoding or have a GPU to give it to enable hardware encoding. Edited June 3, 20233 yr by Kilrah

I wanted to do some testing with the 30 day trial before transferring my license over. Just running the VM stock it will lock up, have to force stop the VM. I'm trying to get the VM to be reliable first. Not sure if I mentioned, using 5600g for the processor. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk
