Glide Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I've "isolated" and "pinned" one core of my 16 core intel CPU for pfSense, and it seems to be working flawlessly except for a perhaps cosmetic defect? Nothing else is isolated or pinned. The CPU usage on the pfSense dashboard is always in the range 1-16%, but the CPU usage for that one core running the VM on the unraid dashboard is usually in the range 10-60%, sometimes peaking to 100% for a few seconds. I'm wondering why the big discrepancy? I understand they're measuring different things in different ways, but why to that large an effect? The highest usage (100%) seems to coincide with my GPU doing transcodes for Jellyfin or tdarr, but not always -- and neither of those are using much internet bandwidth so that seems weird too. Any ideas? Should I even care? Quote Link to comment
fr500 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Did you ever find a solution for this? Quote Link to comment
Glide Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Nope. I just gave it the other core of the pair so it doesn't look "starved" on the usage graph, With two cores it barely ever gets above 5% usage. It's a waste, but makes me feel less angst. Quote Link to comment
MrGrey Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I found the move from 2.7 to 2.7.2 was the hardest (on bare medal). MrGrey. Quote Link to comment
