December 6, 201510 yr Is there a way to pass through the contents of shares directly to the VM? I realize you can probably just access the share over the network, is this the only way? Are there any performance hits by doing it this way?
December 6, 201510 yr Isn't there a way to do this in the GUI? Might only be for Linux clients 9P I think...
December 6, 201510 yr Author I should have specified this is for a windows guest. And I just checked, that feature is only available for linux guests
December 6, 201510 yr Yeah, I guessed you were probably using Windows, I can't remember exactly, but I don't actually think there is much, if any, of a performance problem using network shares. Seem to remember jonp talking about it at some point.
December 6, 201510 yr CHBMB is right There should not be a performance hit using the shares through smb as the traffic never leaves unraid. That is the info we got from jonp.
December 6, 201510 yr CHBMB is right There should not be a performance hit using the shares through smb as the traffic never leaves unraid. That is the info we got from jonp. This is correct. I have been able to get > 10gbps performance from a Windows guest to an SMB share (granted it was a cache only share using SSDs), but proves that there isn't a bottleneck in transfer rate going through shares.
December 7, 201510 yr CHBMB is right If only my wife understood that sometimes.... LOL! I know what you're going through
