As it turns out, one of the drives were not formatted as I thought! I must have missed it when preclearing all the other drives... Thank you for your help kind stranger!

Ok. I'm going to cancel the preclears and report back when I am finished work. Thanks again for the help! Tayshun

I understand, but I also cleared those drives

I'm doing another pass on the preclear of the drives, I will report back with my findings. Thanks for the quick response! Tayshun

Hey, Sorry here are the steps: 1. Formatted the usb with unraid on it. 2. downloaded community apps 3. downloaded pre-clear drives 4. pre-cleared all drives (2pass erase and clean) 5. created a new config 6. put 2 8TB drives under parity 7. put the rest of drives under the array 8. put SSDs in cache 9. started array 10. the server said it was rebuilding parity. Under shares it shows all the shares I had before the reload

Hello all, I am trying to start fresh with my server (backed up my data to another device) and I am trying to start clean. I have precleared all drives (I wanted dual parity on this machine, I have 2 8TB drives and one was parity prior), wiped my USB drive, and created a new config, but whenever I start the array with the new assignments, The Shares show up and the parity check attempts to restore my data. Am I missing something here? I mean this is great knowing that data gets recovered in case of an emergency, but how can I start fresh? EDIT: Steps I took: 1. Formatted the usb with unraid on it. 2. downloaded community apps 3. downloaded pre-clear drives 4. pre-cleared all drives (2pass erase and clean) 5. created a new config 6. put 2 8TB drives under parity 7. put the rest of drives under the array 8. put SSDs in cache 9. started array 10. the server said it was rebuilding parity. Under shares it shows all the shares I had before the reload Thanks! Tayshun

UPDATE: I Figured it out I feel like an idiot! After Re-reading some posts, namely these two: I realized that what I was overlooking was my bios settings. After switching to seabios (this is user CHBMB's Picture). The VM boots up correctly! This thread can be locked or saved for reference. TAG: Radeon, GPU

Hey I'm having a similar issue and I was wondering how to edit my XML to boot as SATA and not virtio? I tried setting bus=sata but it will not allow me to update my XML.

Hello all! I seem to be having an issue with GPU passthrough after updating my unraid. Heres the breakdown. I believe I was on 6.0 with everything working in my VMs. This was before unRAID GUI had the option to passthrough PCI. I used to manually edit the xml to add some qemu:commandline lines, like so: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pci.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=01:00.1,bus=root.1,addr=00.1'/> </qemu:commandline> which was working for me. I was away at school so I havent used my VMs for a while but now when I try to start my VM I get the following error: I've tried to fix the issue on my own, making sure that ACS override was enabled, editing my syslinux.cfg by adding: vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 but thats still not working. I'm wondering if somehow my device is in use and its not allowing the GPU to be passed through? any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, T EDIT: sorry guys my GPU is an AMD r9 290.

Hey , I was wondering how you did this? my provider supports 4 simultaneous streams and I'm looking to get 4 up! any help would be great thanks!

Hey all im having an issue where the docker won't start everytime I click it. it just refreshes the page and is still off... EDIT got it working!

So I solved this by resetting docker, but I am still getting the page cannot be displayed error. Does anybody know why this happens? thanks! EDIT: I tried using Br0 and Eth0, left to auto-assign IP, but its still not working. my Gateway is @ 172.16.64.1 but eth0 assigned 172.16.0.1. it will assign an 172.16.64.x with br0 but it still will not connect!

Hello All! So I was tring to setup tvheadend, TVHProxy and Plex together and I read that you need to assign each docker their own IP address. The Problem that I am having is, Whenever I set br0 and an IP (192.168.1.105 for example) it never connects to the docker and I get a page cannot be displayed error. I read somewhere to "rm the Br0" in terminal. But now I dont know how to get it back! Does anybody know how to set this up? Thanks in advance for the help ! T

Hey All! I have a quick question about my parity drive. As the title states, my parity drive is disabled even though the SMART status is valid. I am running build 6.3.5. All my other drives are currently ok with SMART Status as well, but I am nervous because if one of them goes it goodnight files. Just curious if I can just wipe the drive and rebuild parity over night? Thanks, Tay

Not sure if anybody saw my response on the first page, but I was wondering if this world work? Thanks all for your replies! This is sounding like the best option to me. I would like the option of having dual parity, but I imagine that I would have to have both the same size. I am now thinking to follow the steps here but: Preclear both drives. Set one 8TB to parity 2 and wait for it to build. Remove the 1st parity drive and set the second 8TB and wait for it to build. Clear the original parity disk and have another 4TB Storage in my array until I can afford 2 more 8TB drives. Does this sound like a good way of going about things? Modify message
