steini84 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hey guys I recently moved over from Esxi to Proxmox. I was running Esxi + Omnios&Napp-it for the datastore but native zfs on the hypervisor is awesome! It has been running great since I moved it over using this config for passthrough: hostpci0: 01:00,pcie=1,driver=vfio,rombar=off hostpci1: 05:00,pcie=1,driver=vfio,rombar=off I have both a saslp-mv8 and a m1015 and its really stable using Unraid 5.0.4 but when I tried upgrading to Esxi 6.0.1 I ran into some stability issues.. well atleast one. What happened is that I was watching a movie and then all of a sudden my logfile was full of reiserfs errors and a non correcting parity check already had thousands of errors when I canceled it. I reverted back to 5.0.4 and everything was great again. Did a full parity check without a single error and it's been rock solid since. I noticed that none of the drives showed temperatures in the webgui after the errors started and I maybe though that all these new features were not playing nice with the VM environment/passthrough Is anyone running unRAID6 with a passed through controller card and is it stable for you? (apart from that esxi usb reset error). Also I have noticed that I always need to boot unRAID twice when virutalised (both ESXI/Proxmox and every version of unRAID). On the first try I get harware reset messages in the syslog and drive nr9 is missing.. yes always the same drive . Then I reboot and everything is fine.. sometimes for months. Nothing big, but a little bit scary/irritating. TLDR - Unraid6 stable for you on a hypervisor? Link to comment
BobPhoenix Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 unRAID 6.0.1 on ESXi 5.0 is working fine for me. I will eventually change it to unRAID native I think. Another server that is running unRAID 6.0.1 native is currently running 2 32bit Windows VMs just fine so am thinking about swaping all of them from ESXi to unRAID. Especially since the OS version of SageTV is out now and I can try the Docker of it on the media build of unRAID 6.0.1. If that works for me I can drop 2 of my 3 Windows VMs that are currently running SageTV servers. I can use the Docker on unRAID 6 media builds to replace them. Because of my nVidia DualTV and the lack of Linux drivers for it will mean I still have to use a Windows VM and the Windows version of SageTV for one box. But it will likely be moved to unRAID native and a Windows VM. Link to comment
