June 3, 20179 yr Is it at all possible? Might seem something people might struggle to understand reasoning (losing a SATA port instead of a USB port) but if you want to pass entire USB controllers through to a VM you might want the USB controller that your unRAID USB stick sits on. So thats the reason for asking if it can be done? Is it a case of putting files on a HDD or some vooodoo needed?
June 3, 20179 yr license is tied to usb guid, so while you can boot from hdd, the usb will be still needed.
June 3, 20179 yr Yes, it can be done and has been done many years ago, ever since the unRAID 4.x days. I did it and was even the first to have unRAID running in 64bit Slackware. It's no longer worth the hassle. The various instructions are in the wiki, but the details will need some dusting off and updating. As stated, you will always need the USB drive for licensing.
June 3, 20179 yr Yeah, I'd echo what BRiT says, I run it off a virtual HDD for a VM. But still need USB for license and the space it requires isn't worth dedicating a drive to. My virtual disk is 512MB....The whole OS gets loaded to RAM at boot anyway.Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
