March 20, 20188 yr Hello all. I have been messing with Unraid for over two weeks. The forums were a valuable resource for sure. I initially installed it as a secondary boot drive on my Ryzen 1800x so I could play with the GPU pass through. I was partially successful in that. I was able to GPU pass through a Fedora VM and a Windows 7. I was going to follow through with Windows 10 and try some serious gaming but decided to try Unraid on my dedicated HTPC/plex server machine instead. So now I have it running on a I5-2500k 16 Gig. I now have a 4Tb Parity, 4Tb Data and 2Tb Data. This machine dual boots to windows when guests game on the big TV so it has to two unassigned drives. I found out that the Intel i5-2500k does not do IOMMU so no passthrough. No biggie. It will make a decent Unraid server. So I put docker apps Plex, SABnzbdVPN, Sonarr, Radarr. I think like others I found the instability bug on Ryzen , C6?. It would freeze after an hour or so. After I appended that little code I saw in these forums in to the GO script it got stable. I got first hand experience with the parity drive at work. Initially my server was 2TB parity and 2TB data. These drives are ancient. I noticed some errors on the data drive being reported by Unraid so I ordered replacements. The data drive failed before my drives arrived.. I then had to figure out how to get the 2TB parity converted to a 4Tb parity without losing the data. Then add the new 4 TB data to sync. It worked like a charm. Nothing lost. I was impressed enough to get the Plus key. A cache drive is also on its way. Thanks, Eddie
