Yep. That was it. Many thanks. Problem solved.

Anyone ever seen a blank dashboard page during preclear? I started a preclear on a new 8TB drive two days ago. When I login to the server the main Dashboard page is blank. I can navigate to all other tabs just fine. But the main Dashboard is blank. The only thing that has changed on my server is starting the preclear.

Perfect. Thank you so much. This is THE best explanation I have read so far. Makes so much sense. Thank you again for your help. Hopefully others benefit from this.

I figured it out by using some of the settings in this write-up. I had to add additional configurations to ups.conf and upsd.conf. The instant I hit SAVE on the pfSense box, UNRAID saw the info instantly. EDIT: the ups.conf line is NOT needed. Only upsd.conf setting. One last remaining question if I may. And understanding that this is a support thread for the UNRAID plugin, but figured it's worth asking. How can I adjust the setting on the pfSense side so that my pfSense device does not shut down until the very last minutes of remaining battery life? Many thanks for the support today.

Well how about that. There sure is. I'll do some poking around in pfSense and see if it's being blocked somehow. Good suggestion.

Yep, that is exactly what I did. However, the UNRAID server does not display any UPS information. it just sits there and "spins". Then evetually indicates that there "no information available".

On the Unraid side or pfSense side? Just to clarify, I am using (or attempting to use) pfSense as the master and Unraid as the slave. Thank you for the amazingly fast reply by the way.

I am curious to know if you had to make any changes to this configuration recently? I tried applying the same settings (I am also using an Eaton UPS unit [5P 1500]) but am not able to get Unraid to grab info from the pfSense gateway. Also, I do not have a UPS Slave Username or UPS Slave Password on the Unraid settings. This is all that is available to me.

Replying in/switching to DM. Apologies.

Many thanks for the continued help. Sent you a DM. server-nas-diagnostics-20231101-1220.zip

Yep. That's the condition I am currently sitting in. Rebooted to a normal boot, but both Docker and VM services are turned off. Plugins are all loaded and active. Same rootfs condition. Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 0 0 0 - /

So this is interesting. I just booted back up under normal mode, but prior to doing so I removed .plg files from the \flash\config\plugins folder. So no plugins are currently installed/running. Docker is shut down and VM is shut down. I am back to: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 0 0 0 - /

I verified it was not a docker or VM. Same results with all dockers and VM running. No issues. How does one go about adding plugins one at a time?

By the way, when I boot in safe mode I get this: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 16404780 1090788 15313992 7% / And this: rootfs on / type rootfs (rw,size=16404780k,nr_inodes=4101195,inode64) rootfs on /mnt type rootfs (rw,size=16404780k,nr_inodes=4101195,inode64)

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) rootfs on /mnt type rootfs (rw)

df / output: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 0 0 0 - / Did you mean just: df

So I ran a memory test on both the old memory I was using and the new memory I just installed during the switchover (back) to an Intel setup. All momory checked out fine; no errors. But on the "new" setup, once I got everything up and running I attempted to preclear some discs. Four discs to be exact. They all failed and produced the same low memory error. So I'm now using a new mobo, new processor, and new memory and am still getting the same error. Also, during these new attempts to preclear, I stopped all dockers and VMs and shut down both services. As you can see in the stats screenshot the system has plenty of available memory. I'm at a loss.

Thank you for the responses and attempts to help. I'm switching my setup back over to an Intel board in a few days. Seeing some other wonkiness since switching to AMD. Will wait until I make that change and run a preclear again; see what happens. Thanks again.

Made the changes. Still same error. Is it possible it's a hardware issue? Not the drive, but the mobo or sata ports?

Thank you for the replay. I don't have any shares on the SSD Pool. At least not intentionally. And I wasn't quite sure how to do this, but I went into the settings and excluded every folder that IS NOT a normal media folder. Hopefully this is what you were suggesting? If I did do it properly, it did not fix it. Same error on preclear attempt.

Apologies. Forgot to do that. diagnostics-20231026-1730.zip

I have never been able to get Preclear to work. It fails every time regardless of the disc. I have never bothered to seek help and finally decided to as I am in the process of replacing my parity drives. Would like to preclear them first. This is the second drive I tried today. Error as follows. Any help would be much appreciated. Unraid Version: 6.12.4 many thanks in advance.

Man, do I feel like a dumb a$$ now. Thank you very much.

I updated most of my hardware today (mobo, CPU, memory). Everything is working fine, however; I can no longer mount my Remote SMB share that resides on a Windows Server 2016 machine. I can successfully set up the share with username, password, domain, etc. It shows up on the MAIN tab and indicates that it is "online. But when I click MOUNT, it tries and then just goes back to saying MOUNT again. I did try replacing the share using the static IP address rather than the name of the server. No luck. Many thanks in advance.

I too would like to know the answer to this question. Any chance you figured it out?
