October 6, 20232 yr Hello, I am running into another problem and I hope I can get some guidance from someone. Issue: Handbreak froze encoding process everytime I am transfering files via SMB share drives from unraid. What I have tried: I looked CPU pinning and limited handbreak to only using certain cores and it worked as I see only cores I pinned handbreak uses. However when I tried to do files transfer via unraid SMB share drives the CPU dropped back down, handbreak stopped working. After the files transfer completed, handbreak start again and all the pinned cpu ran again. My system is currently E5-2687W v4 and leave 4 cpu cores unchecked from pinning but unraid still pause handbreak and resume after files transfer. I've looked up on google and found that I can set cpu priority for docker container so I tried --cpu-shares=10240 in the extra parimeters for handbreak container but it still doesn't give prioritize for handbreak. I've also looked up cpu isolation but that only applicable to VM only? Thank you all for your time.
