Nem Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Isn't there a way to do this in the GUI? Might only be for Linux clients 9P I think... Quote Link to comment
Nem Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 I should have specified this is for a windows guest. And I just checked, that feature is only available for linux guests Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment

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.
