I have setup a SMB share (and a NFS share too) in Truenas 12.0-U8. Shout-out to David McKone's detailed guide(s for both) on youtube:
The user name and primary group on both TrueNAS and my Ubuntu Desktop are the same: myusername:myusername.
When I setup the ACL for the dataset I applied the...
So I got a 7050QX-32 (non S), used, and want to test it before the return window closes.
Below is a list of the various issues, comments, questions that I have. The two main ones are some stability problems - reboots - and (perhaps related) out of storage space.
I don't have experience with CLI...
Would Arista 7050QX-32 boot/run without any of the factory fans connected?
I plan to use only a few ports with DACs for a homelab setup. It should consume approx. 100W-120W with one PSU - link. I would put 4x 14mm or bigger fans with the cover off to dissipate the heat, while being much quieter...
Couldn't afford the $600-$800+ for a complete 7050qx-32 so I bought a "water damage" unit that came without any power supply or fans.
Is there a budget alternative for the power supply?
I see that the S-version ( 500W - PWR-500AC-F ) power supply is cheaper than the non-S ( 460W - PWR-460AC-F...
Wasted several hours trying to establish a second iSCSI connection from the same ESXi host to a new ZVOL (zvol2) hosted by the same FreeNAS server for my homelab.
The Authentication method is Mutual CHAP which works fine for the first ZVOL (zvol1).
On Freenas I did:
- create zvol2
- Portals...
Found this PCIe 2.0 x8 card:
IOI Technology Corp.
model - U3X8-PCIE8XE104
Octad Channel 8-port USB 3.0 to PCI Express x8 Gen 2 Host Card | U3X8-PCIE8XE104
but it is not sold directly from the manufacturer or anywhere on the interwebs.
(I have contacted them before about another product and...
Does anyone know if the bifurcation specification requires that all the bifurcated channels must have independent timing? That is, if I bifurcate a x16 Gen 3.0 slot into x4x4x4x4 and then plug three Gen3 and one Gen2 cards, will all four cards operate at Gen2 speeds?
Thanks!
Finally was able to achieve a stable passthrough with an old nVidia 8400GS
Windows 7
Supermicro X11DPG-QT
However, there are no audio playback devices showing.
I have:
Device Manager->Sound, video....->NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)

These came out in 2016. I have taken them out and inside is a WD80EZZX drive, which in fact is a HGST drive. Here are links for them on newegg.com and amazon.com
I have 7 of them - never used - and want to put them in a 40TB RAID-6 type of setup using some cheap-ish RAID card (limited budget)...
--- needs to be at least USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) speeds ---
If I passthrough individual USB controllers to a bunch of VMs, how can I easily switch USB devices from VM to VM on the fly?
(hardware only - not interested in solutions where I have to install software/drivers on each guest VM a la...
Hi,
I have tried both ESXi 6.7 and 6.7U1.
No USB controllers show up under Host>Manage>Hardware>PCI Devices>Passthrough Capable.
What shows are:
2x NICs
2x NVMes
2x GPUs - (onboard and Radeon RX480)
1x Intel(R) Audio Device
Maybe I need to install some Intel software in the ESXi hypervisor...
Just go my first Optane - 900P 280GB (U.2-->M.2 cable) for ZIL/SLOG for my first ZFS attempt. I will partition the drive for two separate SLOGs a few GB each and will use the rest of the drive for something else.
Before I do that I want to somehow test/burn in the drive. The system is based on...
