I have a problem with my VM. At some point this runs into 100% CPU utilization.

BlueIris and Jellyfin are installed on the VM. I also passed on a share and implemented it as a drive so that Jellyfin can access it.

At first I only installed BlueIris and didn't notice this problem. Only after Jellyfin or the share were set up as a drive did these problems arise. But it can also be a fallacy. I can no longer access via VNS or Windows remote access.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can investigate this further?

 

 

 

Reboot the VM?

Helps not really. After some time it comes back

are you using virtiofs for the share, there is known issue which can cause this type of effect.

 

 

Yes

Is there another mode possible? In WIN11 via SMB is no option for me, because Jellyfin can't use SMB Oo

Also: I can't use a jellyfin docker, because I need the GPU passthrough for BlueIris in Win11 and also for jellyfin.

No 9p is only valid for linix. Could you use nfs?

NFS is also buggy on unraid... or am I confused?

I tried also with security: public. Same problem

Come on. I need to solve this problem. I need a share in Windows vm. That has to work with no performance issues

Me again. I found this topic 

 where you @SimonF keep the crowd updated. I Hope the new Update with newer qemu is comeing soon Oo

Not sure what you are looking for me to respond with? I don't use NFS so not sure on what to advise. Note most people are responding on here in their own free time.

I just wanted to point out that the topic has already been widely discussed. I just discovered that too late. Sorry for that. I also have the problem with the Windows VM that the Share implementation (VirtioFS) causes the resulting Windows freeze problem (CPU 100% and no response). 

There is still no temporary solution right? I read there that a new Unraid release is needed, or did I misunderstood something?

AFAIK virtiofs is itself a bit beta on Windows - so that would have to get reliable first, not much unraid can do about it

No workaround currently, on my gitlab post someone said it looks like it was resolved with 7.2 and above. I expect next Unraid release to be using 8.1 release path.

 

I think It is solved. No crashes since 3 Days with the Update 6.12.5

I'm also having this issue where just idling of Windows 11 on the desktop puts me at 50-70% CPU usage (4 cores / 8 threads on a i7-10700) and launching chrome permanently has me using 100% of CPU. I just updated to 6.12.6 to see if that would help but it hasn't changed much. I saw the below thread too - any idea what things i should do to make performance much better for my Win11 VM? This all started happening when i enabled secure boot and TPM on my Windows 10 VM to allow it to upgrade to Win11.

Try setting these clocks.

 

  <clock offset='localtime'>
    <timer name='hpet' present='no'/>
    <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/>
    <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/>
    <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/>
  </clock>

    <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/>
  </clock>

 

Should I do that if I've already set the below command based on the instructions in m00nman's thread? What does setting the above arguments do?

 

My current one looks like below: 

<clock offset='localtime'>
<timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/>
<timer name='hpet' present='no'/>
</clock>

I think those should be fine.
