June 21, 201511 yr I would recommend using PlopKexec instead of the standard Plop; it boots up much faster, 20 seconds vs 5 minutes for Plop. https://www.plop.at/en/plopkexec.html
June 21, 201511 yr I know it's very easy to update your VMDK's yourselves, but if anyone wants to host a v6 final VMDK, I can link it from the first post. Would be good for anyone 'new' to it all! I would love to see a v6 final VMDK posted. I will follow this thread in hopes it happen! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B93BSpm4tzDMTHo0Nmk0RHVzcTA/view?usp=sharing

June 28, 201511 yr had some issues with that 6.0 vmdk on a friend's server when updating it to 6.0.1, causes a kernel panic on boot after only replacing the bz* files. Plus it also has recycle bin and system volume information... So I created my own using gparted and dd/syslinux. I stripped out the make_bootable stuff and the config folder to make it nice and clean: unRAIDServer-6.0.1-x86_64.vmdk: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3MWcQtek6PXczhRdDUxTlhVREU/view?usp=sharing
July 18, 201510 yr I would recommend using PlopKexec instead of the standard Plop; it boots up much faster, 20 seconds vs 5 minutes for Plop. https://www.plop.at/en/plopkexec.html Used the ISO and it works like a charm in vsphere v6. Is there a way to have it auto load into the unRAID USB? Currently I have to select it myself.

August 23, 201510 yr I am using this to run some tests in VM Workstation but it runs out of space when I test certain plugins. When I run df -h only the USB stick shows up. I did a disk expansion in VM Workstation for the vmdk but it didn't seem to help, not sure how to re-expand the partition in unraid when I can't seem to see the partitions, any ideas?
January 13, 201610 yr Sorry, I am feeling like a noob But how do I do this, I could not see any information in the first post. Map your unRAID USB stick through to the newly-created VM and boot your new VM up

January 20, 201610 yr Hi guys I'm new at this and I'm having a bit of trouble. I have ESXi 6.0.0 and and I am using unRAID 6.1.7. I downloaded the 6.0.1 vmdk files to get the USB booting which I've edited to replace the 6.0.1 bzroot & bzimage files with the 6.1.7 ones, but I always get an "end Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" message when the USB boots. I've tried reformatting my unRAID USB with no success. I tried PLOP boot manager but that tells me that I have no bootable device. Does anyone know what could be causing the issue?

June 4, 201610 yr i tried messing with plopkexec as well but gave up and just updated the files manually
August 3, 20169 yr Author Side effect of me cancelling my dropbox sub, sorry. I'm updating all the links with replacements.
September 16, 20169 yr With the addition of the bzroot-gui file in 6.2 we need more than 100mb. I don't suppose anyone has a 6.2 VMDK they'd be willing to share?

September 16, 20169 yr I have been updating my VMDK using winimage as new releases come out. You can just replace the bzimage, bzroot, and the new bzroot-gui files in your VMDK each time there is a new release. I can post mine after each update if there is interest. Edit: Here are my VMDKs for 6.1.9 and 6.2. unRAIDServer-x86_64_v_6_1_9 unRAIDServer-x86_64_v_6_2

Appreciate everyones help
September 30, 20169 yr The second link should be the 6.2 release that I am using in my server. Is it giving you an issue? I can remake it.
October 8, 20169 yr Link to 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 vmdks. unRAIDServer-x86_64_v_6_2_1 unRAIDServer-x86_64_v_6_2_2 unRAIDServer-x86_64_v_6_2_3
