Array does not autostart in 6.11.5! Serious issue!

diagnostics, do you encrpted drives?

No encrypted drives.

This is in the log.

 

quasar-ultima  emhttpd: Autostart disabled (device configuration change)

Well obviously something is wrong...

(I now set it to "no", saved and then back to "yes" and saved again in case something got "stuck"?)

 

 

EDIT: Tried the above and rebooted.
AGAIN server started with the array offline and just needed me to click "start array".
This is weird and serious.

 

One change I did a couple of days ago was this. I edited my syslinux config (using UNRAID GUI), and modified two entries:

 

label Unraid OS
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0
label Unraid OS GUI Mode
  menu default
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0

...because of a firmware issue with my M.2 cache.

(I added nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0)

 

But I don't see how this could be related...

 

EDIT #2: HOLD THE PRESS!

Cancel the above edit. The "turn setting off and then on and reboot" actually fixed the hiccup.

The problem right above was because some disk cable was needed reseating.

 

In less words:

System somehow mixed up the array auto start setting, after my last updates and edits.

It displayed "auto start yes" but did not autostart.

I switched to "auto start no", "apply", then back to "auto start yes" and "apply" and this seems to have reset the setting fine.

Array didn't auto-start because disk4 was initially missing

 

Nov 28 23:37:25 quasar-ultima kernel: mdcmd (5): import 4
Nov 28 23:37:25 quasar-ultima kernel: md: import_slot: 4 missing

 

It came back online a few seconds later, that's why you could then start the array manually:

 

Nov 28 23:37:45 quasar-ultima kernel: mdcmd (5): import 4 sdm 64 3907018532 0 WDC_WD40EFAX-68JH4N1_WD-WX42D410YUKV
Nov 28 23:37:45 quasar-ultima kernel: md: import disk4: (sdm) WDC_WD40EFAX-68JH4N1_WD-WX42D410YUKV size: 3907018532

 

So it's not an Unraid problem, check/replace cables on that disk.
