Hi @JorgeB, the Server is now working without any issues for about 7 days. I use the regular shutdown function in combination with a User Script to enable the WOL function everytime the array starts and it works without any issues. So my assumption would be that the issue is defenitely caused by the sleep function. Maybe it would be a good idea to note that the use of the sleep function could lead to a "Device disabled" issue potentially and to note that within the user guide. For energy saving, the automatic user script WOL enablement in combination with a mobile phone WOL app works perfectly, as far as I can tell. Thanks for your support. BR, Blueeye

Hi @JorgeB, thanks for your reply. The rebuild was done successful, I will now monitor the "device disbabled" issue. I will make use now for some time of the regular shutdown function and combined this with a "User Script" App change to set WOL g after every array start (which basically allows me to do exactly the same as with the sleep mode, the only downside is that it requires more time to boot than to wake up from sleep). I've tested a mobile phone / PC WOL already successfully. Obviously the sleep mode is a little bit tricky 🙂 Thanks. BR, Blueeye

Thanks for the reply. The diags are lost after each reboot correct? Thanks. Guess I have to re-start just another 28-32 hours rebuild 😕

Hi community, I'm using the latest version (6.12.8) of Unraid in a 3x20 TB TOSHIBA MG10ACA20TE Setup. In order to save power, I'd like to make use of the sleep mode and wake on the server either via PC or mobile phone. So I used this guide (https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/guides/wol-setup-for-unraid). It worked for a couple of times (wake up via PC -> Server) until I experienced a "device disabled" issue on one of my drives. After the first nervous breakdown, I checked the SMART data, it looked fine, so I started to rebuild the array which was successful. Now, a couple of days later I found the "Dynamix S3 Sleep" app on the Community Market, but unfortunately after the first usage, I ran into the same "device disabled" issue again. So I'm pretty sure that the Sleep mode somehow negatively impacts my array / one disk within the array. The disk itself is brand-new, I did a complete Unassigned Devices Pre-Clear before to be sure that the HDDs are (most likely) fine. I would be very happy if one of you could give me some guidance: - Any idea how to re-enable the disk without a painfully-long rebuild? - Any idea what could cause the issue in regards to the sleep mode? Thanks a lot for your support. Best, Blueeye

Unfortunately I'm stupid enough to not have a backup of the flash drive. I just used a recovery software to check if there is still something on the flash drive - yes it is, but most of the data on it is corrupted. Something must have went horribly wrong during the 6.9.2 update process....... What I currently do is to manually copy the content of my HDDs to additional offline HDDs just to be sure to avoid data loss using a Ubuntu stick (data can still be accessed, thank god). Next step will be to get the RAID back online with a new usb stick, thanks a lot for your guide linked above.

Unfortunately, the whole flash drive is not working any longer -.- I can't access anything. Tried it via Ubuntu and several Linux readers for Windows...

Dear all, I just tried to update my server from 6.9.1 to 6.9.2 via the web interface. Unfortunatley, the system is now not booting anymore. I have to confess that I'm not a Linux pro and I have concerns to face data loss and (what will likely anyhow be the case) my server settings. - Unraid was installed on a USB stick - System is not recognizing the stick after boot as bootable device containing an OS (Missing OS notification) - I've tried via the boot manager to manually select the USB stick (in case of a potential issue with the installed HDDs), with no luck. All I can do is hit a key to reboot the system. My questions would be: - Any advice how to try to recover what might be still left on the stick, e.g. server settings? Any specific files I should try to extract, if possible? - How save is it to reinstall Unraid (fresh install) to the stick and then reinitiate the HDDs (Raid 5, 4 disks with 1 parity drive)? Is this usually no problem or do I need to take care of specific settings? Sorry for the rookie questions, but as said my experience is limited with Linux. Thanks for your time and help. Blueeye
