PS: I was hoping there maybe a power supply available dedicated to powering hard drives and fans only with no mobo requirement. Again thanks...

Interesting and many thanks for the reply. I was under the impression it is a prerequisite to use shield e-sata cables when running outside of the case. Many thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Has anyone used one these DIY acrylic hard drive bracket shelves? Price seems tempting. Mounting external from the computer's case, I suspect one would use an HBA card, connecting the HBA to an external sata port bracket via SFF 8087 to sata cables. And then from the external sata bracket to the external hard drives e-sata cables. Other than using a regular power supply and connecting the green and black power cables (going from memory as I did this over 15 years ago) to use the power supply externally without a mobo, is there a power supply available that is light power and can drive multiple hard drives? Or some other solution to provide power to the hard drives on the shelf? Thanks kindy.... PS: I originally mis-posted this into an existing thread which was mistake on my part.

Wow, after near an year and the poster has not replied. How strange to make a recommendation and not reply to a simple question.

Thanks kindly for the reply. I know once a Linux computer I had would reboot and found out it was the power cord not fully seated into the UPS and another time on another computer it was a faulty UPS. Since it has only happened twice in 30 days, I will wait and see if it happens again. A few times I've been using the Handbrake docker to encode a batch of 10 or more video files and left this Unraid server run over night and there were no issues. Again many thanks.

PS: In case anyone asks, I did change my Docker from macvlan to ipvlan as per an OS upgrade a couple of months ago.

In the past 30-40 days I have had my primary Unraid server reboot on it's own. I checked the syslogs but could not find any issues. Could someone kindly give a look to my attached diagnostic file and syslog as this morning upon power up, the server shutdown and restarted on it's own. just trying to be a bit proactive. Other then these two incidents the server has been quite stable. Due to high electricity costs in Nova Scotia (Canada), I shutdown my two Unraid servers each night and power on in the morning. I did try the Dynamix S3 Sleep plugin on my 2nd Unraid box but had issues it which I posted about on this forum. So I removed the S3 plugin a couple of weeks ago. I am running Unraid 6.12.9 and my plugins and dockers were updated last night. Cheers & many thanks... VETTEMAN kensplace-diagnostics-20240504-1152.zip syslog-10.2.250.180.log

I installed DD-WRT onto a Netgear home router that is no longer supported with Netgear's upgrades.

I wonder if people would want NAS capabilities available to their firewall?

I started this thread as I thought it was an issue with a corrupt flash drive. It was due to boot/config/plugins/disklocation.plg and dislklocation folder The moderator suggested I remove both from the flash drive. I was rebooting my Unraid server after updating the Disklocation plugin last night. I have two Unraid servers and upgraded on both, but did not reboot my other Unraid server. It appears a few other's were reporting the same issue with the disklocation.plg and folder on their flash drives as well Here is another user having the same issue as me.

Thanks very much. That worked. is there an issue with Disk Location plugin? I ask as I am concerned about re-installing it. Again many thanks....

I checked the flash drive. I do have the folder "disklocation" and also folder "disklocation-master" but no disklocation.plg BUT do have disklocation-master.plg. Do I also delete the disklocation-master folder and file disklocation-masker.plg? Cheers

I was able to boot in safe mode. But will delete the file and folder. Thanks....

I am also getting this error as well. And just started a new thread. I did upgrade the Disk Location this morning on both of my Unraid servers. But only rebooted the Unraid server which is giving me this issue. I will not be rebooting my active server anytime soon.

This morning when I started my Unraid server I got the message I got message "FAT-fs (sda1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck." And it booted up fine. I then decided to shut the server down via the web gui. Removed the flash drive and placed it into my Windows 10 computer and ran a Windows check disk from the Windows Tools menu. Errors were found and corrected. Now when I boot up I get the message - Could not open file /boot/config/plugins/disklocation.conf : No such file or directory /tmp/disklocation-install: line 215: [: ==: unary operator expected Do I need to restore my file drive from backup? I did backup my flashdrive this morning just before rebooting. AND if I need to restore my flashdrive, how do I a restore from my Windows 10 computer? Or can I use my 2nd Unraid server which is working fine? I believe I did not setup to Unraid Connect as there appears to be a way to restore using Unraid Connect. Thanks kindly
