Hydranmenace

I appreciate responses. System went down again so I kind of forgot about this for a bit. My server is based on old hardware that keeps overheating. I think unrelated to this issue but it does make follow-up difficult. Here is diagnostics.zip. Managed to get it without a shutdown. If possible please let me know how to safely correct the unassigned device and recreate "highspeed" share without data loss. tower-diagnostics-20260318-1003.zip

I am not sure what is going on. My unraid system is having hardware issues so it hasn't been up in a while. I got it online today and and one of my shares is gone. In addition to the default shares I had "Unraid_main" and "highspeed" which is on an SSD. On reboot today my drive list says disk 5 is missing. Unassigned devices shows 2 drives (previously only had one) and if I browse that drive it is my highspeed share. I can access the files, etc. I am not super advanced with things like this but it almost seems like disk 5 became unassigned somehow, the share got lost because all highspeed data was only on that one drive, and unassigned devices picked it up. Can I "tell" unraid that drive is disk 5 and re-add the share? If so.. how? Is there a better solution? Is my above guess at the problem ridiculous and I need to do something else entirely? If you have ideas please let me know and I will proceed as best I can. Also will upload whatever is needed but I saw no other issues or errors. The machine is up and sharing "Unraid_main" just fine. Thank you for any advice or assistance.

I upgraded to this 7.2.0 beta and in the process my cache drive was unassigned from being cache, and i lost a share. The cache drive is an SSD and the rest of my drives are misc\WD Reds. The share I lost was on the SSD ( I think.. I set this up a while ago and I haven't had to mess with it in a long time). Can I just re-create the share? Will that wipe the data on it? What do I do? Thanks.tower-diagnostics-20250827-2216.zip

Been a minute since I had time to look at this. I appreciate the reply. Kids take up a lot of time. PiHole is currently assigned 192.168.1.120. That doesn't appear to be the issue. I don't know what that means but I DO think you are on the right track with PiHole being an issue. How would I verify this issue and correct?

I am having weird issues with my network. Specifically I can no longer access my router landing page. I suspect I have a conflict somewhere because I do not know what I am doing with networking settings, at all. My router should be 192.168.1.1 - this should also be accessible via a DDNS service at asuscomm.com but it doesn't seem to be. I have a router app on my phone that *can* access it, but it does not work in a browser from my pc. My unraid server is set in my router settings to permanently be assigned 192.168.1.10. This *does* work but it always gives me a "site is not secure" error in browser even though letsencrypt should be working. If I let the router auto-assign an address then the letsencrypt link does work. It doesn't when I specify what I want it to be. Docker is enabled and the network settings appear to be: IPv4 custom network on interface br0: Subnet: 192.168.1.0/24 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 DHCP pool: not set In "Network Settings" I have: IPv4 address: 192.168.1.10 /24 MAC Address: 80:61:5F:08:A8:8A (This MAC Address is set to 192.168.1.10 in the router IP Bonding List) IPv4 DNS server assignment: Static IPv4 DNS server: 192.168.1.1 My router DNS Settings pull from 192.168.1.120 which is my pihole adblocker. I can access my shares from my pc, pihole seems to be blocking things correctly (for the whole network), I can access Tower from the 192.168.1.10 address but not the letsencrypt link found in encryption management and I cannot access my router at 192.168.1.1, only from the app on my phone when on my local network (or VPN into my network via OpenVPN). Is something in the above just conflicting? If more info is required please let me know. Thanks.

I was in 6.11 but I was having overheating issues due to bad CPU fan. Held off on upgrading due to this. Server ran fine other than occasional freezes due to temp. Replaced fan. Backed up with CA backup to external drive. Updated. Checksum was valid. Notification said I had to reboot. I get to the selection screen to choose OS, OS with GUI, safemode, memtest. Regardless of what is selected it very quickly flashes "invalid argument" and nothing else happens. I remain at that selection screen. Please help?

Thank you. This did work. I appreciate your response as well. I had to use the media install tool on a windows laptop and it asked if I wanted DHCP or Static IP. I can't remember which I chose originally. Would I want static if my router assigned a static IP to the UnRaid system? Does DHCP hurt anything if I still have the router assign an IP? Asking because I now see my PiHole as a static address in my router client list, and this was not previously the case. If I should ask this in a separate thread I can, it just seemed related to my issue.

Thanks. For whatever reason the linux make bootable script didn't work but I could use the media installer from my wifes windows laptop. I am back up and going as well. I appreciate your response and help.

I am having the same issue JorgeB. And I am kind of an idiot. I want to make sure I understand what you're saying like you're telling a 5 year old. Pull the USB from server pc Plug USB into another pc Copy the "Config" folder Paste into a different location for later Download the unRAIDServer-6.11.0-x86_64.zip Run whatever script you need to install (In my case the linux one) This should install 6.11 to the usb key See if this boots on the server pc if yes, move the previously saved Config folder onto the USB key Try booting again and everything should be back to normal? Yes? I am just very concerned I will break everything.

This is... unsettling. I could not log in to unraid or see the server ip on my network at all after upgrading. So I could not remotely check what was going on. I plugged a monitor in and have no idea what to make of this or what to do. The message I am getting from the boot screen is /bzimage... ok /bzroot.... ok "Kernel Failed: Invalid argument" May include /bzroot-gui... (if selected) and then failure. No boot option, safe mode or otherwise, results in bootup. I can tab to edit options but I am not sure what I could enter here that would help anything. Please help?

I updated to Unraid 6.11 last night and after a reboot my server is no longer detected on my network and shares are inaccessible. It is not in the client list my router can display. Until the update it was fine. Router still shows everything else that is connected so I do not think it is a router problem. So I can't log in remotely to see what is going on. This is running on old hardware that I repurposed and uses a VGA cable that I can't find anywhere in my house so I can't physically look at it. So my question is can I pull the USB key, plug it into another computer with modern video, see if I can fix what is going on, and then put it back into the usual older pc to get back up and going? Or would doing that break my shares, parity, settings, etc? If I have to I can order a VGA from amazon, I am just hoping I can do something else in the mean-time.

I upgraded last night. I can no longer log in remotely. Going to my server address results in "this site can't be reached". This is my own fault but it is running on older hardware that uses an old VGA for video which is now lost so I can't physically see what is going on either. Not sure what to do other than find an old cable or monitor now. If I pull the USB key and put it into another computer and boot there (where I have a modern monitor) to troubleshoot plugins and settings would that work? Or does it need to see the correct drives to work properly and lose I lose everything?

I am having a "DNS resolution unavailable" error when I try to update that. I don't think ads are being blocked because I still see a lot of them. Wondering if anyone can look at this and tell me what I have set incorrectly. I really don't know much about networking. Kinda flying blind following SpaceInvaders tutorial, but it looks a little dated. I took a few screenshots since they are probably better at explaining what is going on than I could.. I would appreciate any assistance.

I understand I need to fix this but I do not know how. That is why I posted all the screen caps. I don't pretend to know what I'm doing. I'm a regular guy who followed a youtube tutorial. I noticed that in my router in DHCP settings my IP Pool Starting Address is 192.168.1.2 and that is the IP pihole is using. Would that be a conflict? I thought that just meant that is the number the router would use to start looking for things on the network. When I tried an IP range outside of that for pihole it gave me an error saying it was outside the range of my subnet. Whatever that means.

Hey all. I am hoping someone can help me out here. I have been using this pi-hole template docker for almost 8 months without an issue. We had a power outage the other day, and since then if I use pi-hole for DNS nothing resolves, pages don't load, and ads are not blocked. If I change my dns setting in my router to just use google DNS everything is fine. If I change it to 192.168.1.2 (set for pihole in the docker config) my router insists I am not connected to anything and nothing loads. I really don't know why. I haven't changed any settings in forever which is why I mention the outage. Can't think how that would affect anything either but it's all I have. I also finally updated unraid to 6.9.2 but this issue was occurring before that. I'm going to attach whatever makes sense for settings as screen caps. Please let me know if anything else would be useful. If you look at AsusSetup 1 and 2 you will see there are two different places to enter a DNS server. Should I only be using 1 or both? That may not be *the* problem but I am thinking it might be *a* problem. I tried to follow SpaceInvader1's video as closely as I could. Also if I go into pihole settings and "update gravity" it hangs for a while then comes back with "DNS resolution not available". No idea what broke or how to fix it. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
