Hi team UNRAID

 

Whilst I'm waiting for 6.9 final to release (soon i hope), I thought I'd look at ways of speeding up VM disks on my 3Gbps NVME drive and exposing shares set up in UNRAID so that I could access them directly from a VM instead of using the 1GBps/10Gbps virtual NIC. Research led me to this article
https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/eryb71/best_storage_for_vfiokvmqemu_experiment_results/

and

https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/howto-qemu.html

I'm interested to know if virtio-fs can be made available in UNRAID so that shares can be access directly from a VM?

 

Same here, i running latest beta29, if i need to test something let me know. i also have NVME on host

just tried and  I see 2 things

 

running on ryzen 3900x unraid 6.9 beta29

using host-model it shows this error

error: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2020-10-02T13:27:56.354809Z qemu-system-x86_64: warning: This feature depends on other features that were not requested: CPUID.8000000AH:EDX.nrip-save [bit 3]

and using host-passtrhough

i see this other error

error: Failed to start domain IsaacGaming

I supose i need to modify some permissions but not sure which of them

Seeing that we are now at 6.9.1, I would like to have this working, too. I've not gone as far as either of you. I'm accustomed to setting up 9p, which just isn't cutting it, and am very interested in the more direct(?) virtio-fs driver.

With 6.9.2 still the same error

 I was able to get virtio-fs working on Unraid 6.9.2. See this thread for details:
