I was able to format the original usb drive and restore to it. I did need to download my key and put it in the config folder, but my system is back up! Thank you!!! Now...can you also help me figure out why this has happend with 2 different USB devices in a 6 month period? 😬

What does "rewriting it" mean? Just do a restore to the existing USB drive?

Back in November, I went to do an update to my system, rebooted and the USB drive would not boot. No big deal, I download my backup and I'm up and running again. In February I do the same thing and the same thing happens. I didn't have time to troubleshoot it and just moved on. I went to install the latest version of Unraid today, and I lost ANOTHER USB drive. Now I can't replace my key because I've apparently done it too many times. I've reached out to support to get a replacement key, however there is clearly something wrong. The only thing I can read on the screen during the failed boots is: Contains a free cluster (2). Assuming EOF. FAT-fs (sda1): error, fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 1) FAT-fs (sda1): Filesystem has been set read-only mount: /boot: can't read superblock on /dev/sda1. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. cannot mount /dev/sda1 - press ENTER key to reboot ....

Thanks for the response. I figured if I'm using the exact same cables with another 18TB seagate drive and it shows up, then it must be a bad drive. Just can't figure out how I got 3 in a row. ordered another one so we'll see if it continues.

Thank you for that command. So what showed up was 10.6GiB in /tmp and then inside there was /transcode Seems like for some reason Plex left two 5GiB files in there. Restarted Plex and they went away. Thanks again.

I tried running the dianostics and other recommendations on here but I'm having trouble understanding what to do with the info. Attaching diagnostics. Thanks in advance tower-diagnostics-20230514-1936.zip

I had a drive start to make some terrible noises so I figured I would use it as an opportunity to get 2 new 18 TBs in my system and replace my 16TB parity drive. Bought 2 on amazon, I'm limited on space in my server so I put one in to preclear, no problem. Once it finished, took it out and put the second one in and it makes terrible sounds and never shows up in unraid. Exchange it for a replacement drive, that one doesn't make any terrible noises, but never shows up in unraid. I plug in the first 18TB drive and it shows up just fine so I try again and nothing. Return that drive and buy another one from Best Buy because, why not, and same exact issue. I'm using the exact same power and data connection that the first 18TB shows up on but I've gone through 3 other ones and none of them are appearing. Even though these are not shucked drives, I've tried the 3.3 volt trick with a molex adapter and also using tape but they never show up. I find it hard to believe I got 3 bad drives in a row but maybe I'm just that unlucky. Attaching diagnostics in case anyone sees something I'm missing. In this diag, both drives are plugged in. Thanks in advance! tower-diagnostics-20230512-1010.zip

I'm sure this is answered somewhere and I just don't know how to put the right search terms together, so apologies for a redundant question... What's the proper way to make the gui available behind a reverse proxy? I have swag installed on it's own network so the only way I've figured out how to get to the controller is to enable Host access to custom networks. Otherwise it doesn't work. I would rather not do that as I know it's not that safe. The other thing I tried was to put the unifi-controller network into my custom proxy-net but then it couldn't talk to any of my devices. Kept trying to adopt them over and over. Appreciate any guidance on this one. Thanks

Thank you so much for setting this up. I use your dockers for almost everything. I have an outdated docker for overseer that I was hoping I could bring my settings/data over into your docker. Is that possible? And how would I do that if it is? Thanks again.

@Supershocker, if you wouldn't mind sharing, how did you force the upgrade? I don't see anything in the gui and wasn't sure how to proceed. Thanks!

This worked. Thank you! Quick question. Can I reinstall the GPU-Statistics? I did have to make one other change in my BIOS and I'll record that here in case anyone else runs into this. Original problem: nvidia quadro p2000 stopped showing up in Nvidia Driver. "no devices were found" After following @ich777 instructions (quoted above) unraid would not boot. What I discovered is that by enabling Resizable BAR Support it would change boot mode to UEFI instead of legacy. I found this post that explained that I needed to turn off Secure Boot and I also needed to go into the USB drive and remove the hyphen from the EFI- folder. Once I did those 2 things, it booted back up and the graphics card was recognized. Thanks again for the help!

Getting the "no devices were found" but not sure when it started. I know it used to work. I have a quadro p2000. Dug through this topic and found the solution from September: But it didn't fix it. Attaching diagnostics. Would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you so much. tower-diagnostics-20230201-0906.zip

@DuzAwe, were you able to get gravity-sync working against 2 pihole docker containers? I'm really interested in getting this setup and I'm having the hardest time figuring it out. Thanks for any info you have.

I have an unraid media server right now that won't post. I'm still troubleshooting but figured it might just be time to upgrade. Here is my current configuration. ASrock Z75 Pro 3 Intel Core i5-3570 32 GB DDR3 RAM LSI SAS 9207-8i Storage controller Nvidia Quadro P2000 Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 850W I use all 6 SATA ports on the motherboard and I have 4 variable speed fans. I was considering getting a motherboard that would support the same CPU and RAM but obviously if the problem lies with one of those components I'm wasting time. I run a typical plex stack with dockers for media download/management. I have a couple of one off dockers like Home Assistant and a Unifi Controller, but nothing that requires a lot. No VMs. A quick look at Newegg and I came across this guy: ASRock B365M Pro4 for $85 or does it make sense to get something that supports the Z390? MSI PRO Z390-A PRO for $130 2x8GB DDR4 RAM for $85. Do I need 32GB? I think I have 32 right now just because someone gave me some extra. And then CPU... Intel Core i5-9600K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.7 GHz for $215. Guess $500 ain't bad considering my current setup has lasted several years. Would appreciate any feedback or recommendations on components. Thanks!!

I finished watching something on Plex and when I was going to bed I noticed my unraid server fans were running on high. I went to take a look and I couldn't access any of the dockers. I'm thinking it might have something to do with sabnzbd unpacking something, but not sure. Attaching the diagnostic logs. Would greatly appreciate any insight someone might have. Also, wondering what I should do when this happens. I can open a Terminal. Is there a way to kill processes that are freezing things up? Should I just issue a reboot command? I noticed this in the processes showing higher CPU and RAM usage than other processes: nobody 13212 16.0 57.3 11181424 9232132 ? Sl 01:02 214:19 /usr/sbin/python3 /usr/lib/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py --daemon --config-file /config --server 0.0.0.0:8080 --https 8090 Shares are accessible. Dockers are not. Some tools are working but some are not. Thanks again for any and all help. tower-diagnostics-20210131-2311.zip
