How do you guys work with more than 24 drives?

@hawihoney some positive news to report. I did a PCIe pass through using one of the four physical network adapters in my server. Then on my host mounted the smb share of the VM guest Unraid using it's IP address assigned to this pass through adapter. It works!

 

My Unraid VM has two network adapters now. The br0 virtual adapter and this second pass through adapter.

 

Also more good news... I'm seeing transfer speeds at my disks maximum, >160MB/sec which is more than my one network adapter. I suspect this is smb multichannel at work spreading the file transfer across both network adapters.

 

I'm very happy this works, now I can really scale out my 50+ hard drives across multiple Unraid VMs in a single server.
