TrueNAS Scale 22.12.3 - virtualization PCI passthrough broken?

[Isma]

any word on the hotfix? I see the jira ticket is closed.

Hi, I want to join the problem, but I would also like to add the error that when the VM is created in the GPU assignment it doesn't matter if you have it checked, the only thing it will do is leave it checked but you must go to "Devices" and add the two PCI passthrough selecting the GPU so that the VM detects it for you

Hotfix is out, please see release notes at https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/scale22.12/#221231

Thanks, I have updated but nvidia-smi still does not function, I get an error trying to add the GPU in the GUI, and I guess a new warning when adding PCI devices? See screenshots. Also if I revert to 22.12.2 then my kubernetes cluster is broken, so no apps.

Good news is it does actually work though, after passing through my 4 PCI devices EMBY is using the GPU to transcode.

I updated to "TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.3.1" but am still having issues with this critical PCI devices "feature". I would like to passthrough a NVMe to a VM for maximum IO performance, but this is no longer possible. And "Settings > Advanced" will only allow to isolate GPU devices from the host, but not other PCI devices. So I am currently lost and can't fire up this VM anymore. Is there any way to override the safety check for specific devices? In future I plan to passthrough a PCI SATA controller to a VM, but this most certainly is also no longer possible in SCALE now.

edit:
just a minor nit pick, but why are sensitive/critical devices even listed in the PCI passthrough dropdown now if you can't use them or force their usage in any way? It is IMHO a bad UX if you first provide users with options only to tell them 5 seconds later that their choice was wrong.

Hello!

I encontered another problem after updating.

I cant also foward a m.2 to a VM.

it is flagged by truenas as SYSTEM ESSENCIALS thus cannot be passtrough with the warning that is needed for system funcion?

what is wrong ?
how do i fix this?

as mentioned right above, I have the same issue and can not passthrough a m.2 NVMe. For now I just reverted back to an older version of TrueNAS

 

[panzerscope]

Looks like I will be waiting for the next version then, I have multiple VM's and looks like the recent update has taken a few step backwards. Hopefully the devs can get that resolved as soon as possible.

will be fixed in 22.12.4, see https://github.com/truenas/middleware/pull/11647
