    Hey @bl1mp , thanks for the hints. I had a look at the pvereport utility, but it does not really macht the requirements (in a broader sense; helpful itself for sure). I also found some other reporting tools / scripts online, but all of them...

    What SATA controller / HBA are you using.? I had to disable the Rombar (and upgrade the firmware) for the my controller to boot TrueNAS after upgrade from kernel 6.8.14

    DerekG reacted to NAICO's post in the thread HP ProDesk 600 G1 Intel i5-4590: IOMMU? with Like Like.
    Hi everyone! I just wanted to write a guide for those (like myself) trying out GPU passthrough with the HP ProDesk 600 G1 in 2025... I needed to enable VT-d using the "Replicated setup" method (previously mentioned here) in the UEFI/BIOS as the...

    One of the best / easiest options at the moment is the setup of a Tailscale network, you can run a tailscale node in an LXC and access you entire LAN for anywhere. No requirement to open holes in the firewall https://tailscale.com/

    DerekG replied to the thread old SATA drive to share media.
    OMV is a file server application. with some extra's bolted on. It does have the advanced power management for spinning down the drives, but as I say, I never use them.

    Ah, sorry, I completely misunderstood the thread, I have a similar setup for none important data storage (even USB drives), OMV is still the best option I found after testing multiple LXC files servers.

    DerekG replied to the thread Disk Passthrough vs qm.
    In a VM the NVMe the drive shows as a PCI device (not a drive), once you find the correct PCI device (use the command lspci to list them) and then passthrough that device.

    DerekG replied to the thread old SATA drive to share media.
    I wouldn't worry about that too much, if the drive is shared (and other family members need access) then you want it to be always available. I know there is a way to tell OMV to spin down the drives, but I never use it myself. More important...

    DerekG replied to the thread old SATA drive to share media.
    It's definitely doable, I would suggest another VM with Open media Vault to be used for sharing the drive over the network. Having said that, shared storage tends to become more vital the more it's utilised, so even for starting out I would be...

    That will work, but then you loose the redundant drives, one failure and your data is gone. I have 2x TrueNAS running, but when I just wanted to pass some USB drives through for basic storage, I found the OMV in a VM was the most solid solution...

    Issue resolved. As per the post, I had to both upgrade the firmware on the SATA controller AND set Rombar to off (where it defaults to on) in order for the kernel 6.14 or later to allow the VM to fully boot. I should have recognised this fault...

    Just a brief update on this TrueNAS VM issue. Today I decide to build a fresh TrueNAS VM with the host on kernel 6.17.4-1 and I am unable to get the VM to boot for installation, and with the passthrough devices attached the system would not...
  • D
    The system is booting into TrueNAS, I can hear the sequence of the drives as the zfs initializes them. The problem appears to me as no network access to the TrueNAS VM, not via the web, the console or the network shares. The VM is using the...

    I have those installed, but as I said, the bolt command fails to detect my thunderbolt dock or the graphics card installed. The same dock works on a Windows laptop with thunderbolt 4 and if I use the Oculink port for a PCI connection. It's all...
  • D
    Sorry it's taken so long, it's not easy to take the TrueNAS down for diagnosis here. I think there has been an update to kernel 6.17.2-2 since my last update. And this is the log from VM boot: Dec 14 17:12:49 pve-5 pvestatd[2344]: status...

    How did you get thunderolt to authorize, whatever 'bolt' command I use, returns nothing, and I never get the device file /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices populated. Can you post you modules and blacklists.?

    Hi glockmane, Did you ever manage to resolve this issue? I'm stuck on the passthrough of a Thunderbolt5 egpu dock to and AMD based system too.
