Having a bit of trouble getting hardware acceleration working on my home server. The cpu of the server is an i7-10700 and has a discrete GPU, RTX 2060. I was hoping to use intel quick sync for the hardware acceleration, but not having much luck.
From the guide on the jellyfin site https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel
I have gotten the render group ID using "getent group render | cut -d: -f3" though it mentions on some systems it might not be render, it may be video or input which i tried with those group ID's as well.
When I run "docker exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo"
I get back
```
libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/local/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
```
I feel like I need to do something on the host system since its trying to use the discrete card? But I am unsure.
This is the compose file just in case I am missing something
```

Thank you for the help.
Hello, I have had a pool of two hard drives in a mirror pool for some time but the OS got corrupted and I reinstalled the OS. Now I am on Linux Mint and my pool does not appear any more. When I use zpool import it says no pool available to import, I have looked around online and found you can import a zpool by specifying the drives, so I used zpool import -f -d /dev/sda1 -f -d /dev/sdb1 internal I get back my pool
> pool: internal
state: ONLINE
scan: scrub repaired 0B in 00:08:39 with 0 errors on Tue Jun 18 18:38:40 2024
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
internal ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
sdb ONLINE 0 0 0
sda ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
But I am unable to mount the pool, zfs mount internal returns
>cannot mount 'internal': legacy mountpoint
use mount(8) to mount this filesystem
I tried using mount but I am not having any success, saying mount: internal: can't fin in /etc/fstab.
Is there any chance to get this pool back on the computer or is it a lost cause.
Thank you for the help.
Yeah definitely wanting the redundancy, most of what I will be storing will not be life changing if lost just a big inconvenience, and for the life changing stuff I plan on having it backed up to cloud storage.
Thank you for that will have to have a look into it since I am quite new and I am not completely sure how to go about things in a way to not regret it later down the line in half a year or so.
Hello, I currently have a home server mainly for media, in which I have an SSD for the system and 2 6TB hard drives set up in raid 1 using mdadm, its the most I can fit in the case. I have been getting interested in ZFS and wanting to expand my storage since it's getting pretty full. I have 2 12TB external hard drives. My question is can I create a pool (I think that's what they are called), using all 4 of these drives in a raidz configuration, or is this a bad idea?
(6TB+6TB) + 12TB + 12TB, should give me 24TB, and should work even if one of the 6TB or 12TB fails if I understand this correctly.
How would one go about doing this? Would you mdadm the 2 6TB ones into a raid 0 and then create a pool over that?
I am also just dipping my toes now into Nixos so having a resource that would cover that might be useful since the home server is currently running Debian. This server will be left at my parents house and would like it to have minimal onsite support needed. Parents just need to be able to turn screen on and use the browser.
Thank you
