So I recently got my first server up and running (for Plex, Sonarr, Radarr), and it's been working phenomenally for the last ~2 weeks, other than this one particular quirk: every so often (it's happened three times total now), I'll try and log into the server and it'll be unresponsive (can't ping or load login page). The first two times this happened, I rebooted the machine and still had the same problem - when I connected a monitor to the Unraid box I saw it just didn't see the USB drive in the BIOS. So I moved the USB drive to another port, and when I rebooted the server came up perfectly fine like nothing had happened. This last time, simply rebooting the server got it back up; I didn't need to relocate the drive this time. So my question is how can I figure out what is going on here? Some thoughts:
1) Where could I find relevant log files for seeing if there's some shutdown event that's occurring? (this is kind of a "troubleshooting this type of thing in general" type of question)
2) Is there a preferred USB drive size, brand, etc? I'm using an ADATA UV128 16GB USB3.0 drive, and it's currently plugged into the USB 3.0 port on the front of my case. Previously I had it plugged into a back I/O shield USB 3.0 port, and then internally using a female-USB-to-mobo-header cable, both worked initially and then needed to be switched after the BIOS stopped recognizing them.
Thanks guys, loving Unraid and the community so far!!
