  2. Afternoon, as the subject states, I have an icon next to my Samsung SSD (unassigned device) which I do not recognise, could anyone help with an explanation please. I did check Google but nothing jumping out at me. Thanks, Jon
  3. Good afternoon all! I need some help please, I installed pihole around 2 weeks ago and has been working great, thank you!! I was in unraid yesterday and noticed much higher than normal writes to my cache (ssd). After some researching and analysis using iotop it seems 'loop2' (which I beleive is the docker) is the culprit, writing around 1.4GB per hour, see below snapshot of 25 minutes worth of monitoring. Since pihole was the only docker I had added recently I thought this may be the problem. I isolated the problem by stopping the docker, deleting the image, created new docker and added one docker template and monitor for 1 hour, then repeat. It was indeed pihole writing around 1.4GB/hour with a brand new docker image and no other dockers installed. I tried the following; - Stopped all logging in gui and also used 'pihole -l off' in terminal. - added the following to pihole-FTL.conf PRIVACYLEVEL=4 MAXDBDAYS=0 I see no stats and am pretty sure all logging is now off yet I still have this huge writes to the cache, confirmed also on cache smart report which back up what I'm seeing in iotop... Do you have any suggestions please as I'm pretty much all out of ideas! Many thanks in advance! Jon
  4. Morning All, A little help please. I access shares on my UnRaid system via a number of mapped drives, my Windows 10 machine is a VM also situated on UnRaid. Until now everything has been running perfectly, however this morning I get the following message on one of my shares; 'You need permission to perform this action'. I haven't changed anything on UnRaid and am logged into the server using my normal credentials. All of the other shares mapped allow full access and do not have a problem, the inaccessible mapped drive has the exact same permissions. I have tried restarting the server, removing/added the mapped drive, restarting the VM but nothing seems to fix the problem. Has anybody seen something similar or can me find out the cause as I am now out of ideas. Running UnRaid 6.5.3. Thanks, Jon UPDATE: I can write to folders within the share, but just not at the top level - not sure whether this helps>?
  5. Thanks Bob, I had thought of this but would have expected to see this represented in task manager in Windows also. Anyhow, I know that the Limetech team are working hard to release 6.5.3 to address some other issues with VMs so hoping that may fix the issue. Many thanks, Jon
  6. HI, Did anybody find out why this is happening? I just upgraded from UnRaid 6.3.5 to 6.5.2 and have seen a huge increase in idle CPU % shown in the UnRaid GUI and 'top' while running my Win 10 With VM. I just found this thread after posting my own - it reads; Did anybody find out a reason for this? Thanks, Jon
  7. Good afternoon All, Long time user and supporter of UnRaid! I am hoping for some advice / help. I recently updated from version 6.3.5 to 6.5.2, all went fine and the system is up and running, dockers, plugins, etc.. My problem is with my Windows 10 VM. It works fine although in comparison to the previous release the overhead seems to have increased alot. This is what I am seeing; Previously UnRaid 6.3.5 - Win 10 idle task manager reports ~3% -- UnRaid reports Avg. CPU load ~9-10% Now UnRaid 6.5.2 - Win 10 idle task manager reports ~3% -- UnRaid reports Avg. CPU load ~21-23% 'top' command confirms high CPU usage in 'qemu-system-x86' which is equal to what the UnRaid GUI reports. With VM off Unraid reports CPU usage of between 0-1% so it isn't anything running in the background. Is there any knows reason why the overhead seems to have more than doubled? Apologies if I have not framed this question correctly I am still only an experienced novice If you need any further information please just shout. Many thanks, Jon.
  8. OK here is mu syslinux.cfg file. default /syslinux/menu.c32 menu title Lime Technology, Inc. prompt 0 timeout 50 label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot label unRAID OS GUI Mode kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label Memtest86+ kernel /memtest OK - issue fixed. I have a Z270 MB and after reading the above I thought I would try something. I knew I was running the latest BIOS as it was updated very recently and both the support site and MB told me so. Anyhow, I reset the MB to default setting and low and behold I can now boot straight to unRAID OS without any issue. So it wasn't that I was running out dated BIOS but a setting within BIOS that was causing the problem. I will run some trial and error on MB settings to try and recreate the problem and see whether I can isolate it - If I find it I will let you all know. Thanks for your help! Jon.
  9. root@IronCloud:~# md5sum /boot/bzroot c1a14a522656426fb9e20b66a5968d1a /boot/bzroot root@IronCloud:~# md5sum /boot/bzimage 5a4d270d192c0573bb78af92220e149b /boot/bzimage root@IronCloud:~# md5sum /boot/bzroot-gui f65c0917efe04edf5b91528c3c7eb1d1 /boot/bzroot-gui Yes - all present and correct. It isn't the end of the world - I just thought it very odd...
  10. Hi there. Yes, it does indeed return the above from. root@IronCloud:~# md5sum /boot/bzroot c1a14a522656426fb9e20b66a5968d1a /boot/bzroot Thanks, Jon
  11. This is happening to me also after upgrade, only able to boot to GUI mode. Again, not ideal as I also run headless. MB is ASRock Z270 Pro4.
  12. Works beautifully! Even for a novice like me! Always wanted my VM on a discrete ethernet card, now I have in less than 20 minutes The PCI device now even shows up in the GUI to passthrough - very clever! Thanks JonP!!!
  13. Thanks Johnnie, Yeah I have done that, tested and everything seems to be back to normal now. Many thanks for your help!! unRAID is awesome but Jon.
