Hi Guys

 

I cant seem to figure this out. Im very new to unraid and I have read through the help. I have an old machine using a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R motherboard and in i7920.

I am unable to turn on IOMMU 

 

When I boot ubuntu it works fine until install where it needs a drive. It cant see the drive. 

 

 

These are my settings for the VM below. But I have tried tons of variations. 

 

Can anyone help me here? I have virtulization on and I know this machine can run vms because I have used both hyper v and virtualbox in windows and virtualbox in Ubuntu server before moving to unraid. 

Try changing the Primary vDisk Bus type.

I have tried all of the options. Still no joy. 

I have also tried putting the VM in another location and still cant see the disk. I have also tried the qcow2 vdisk

 

So I tried the installer with Fedora and added a bunch of different drives all with different configurations. 

 

It looks like they show up but they only have 512bytes free on them. 

 

Anyone know why and how to fix this? 

Im a complete idiot. This is because I put a number but not a G for gigabyte in the disk size.

Same here 😅, was thinking this would be standard in GB but isn't.

Thanks for the post !

Wow, I cannot believe I just spent so much time trying to solve "G"

Thankyou op for pointing out I shouldn't have rushed through.

Ha! Glad I found your post. I did the same thing......probably deleted and reinstalled the VM 10 times

OMG thank you. I've created so many VMs in Unraid before and just missed it this time and it was driving me a little nuts at 2am
