all those FSCK files indicate attempts to fix filesystem corruption. Booting from USB2 port is more reliable. 

 

Do you have a flash backup?

I have - 4 USB 2.0 Ports on my mother board I'm asuming I boot from usb 2 port

Yes I do have a flash backup last one 25/11/21

That is pretty slow. You must have port multipliers

I have two SUPERMICRO AOC-SAT2-MV8 64-bit PCI-X133MHz SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Controller Cards and  8 onboard sata ports. Are the supermicro boards classed as multipliers?

No errors on any disks?

Should I just run another check with corrections?

Secondly' for some time now when i boot up from "Boot Unraid in GUI mode" it takes about 5 minutes before unraid starts loading? Is this a usb problem?

This is the files on my usb.

[Still unable to create Backup / Replacement usb]

Quote

If your motherboard support UEFI boot, then actually no need bootable, just need enable UEFI boot.

Tried that - no joy

You don't need care about license key, it won't affect Unraid boot up. Pls also check your BIOS, some wrong setting usually are the root cause.

If my current usb is booting why would I need to change BIOS?

 

[Still unable to create Backup / Replacement usb]

 

 

Version: 6.8.3 

Hi

I am still unable to create a backup / replacement USB. I have two keys so I am working with the Pro.2 key

I have tried Transend 2gb which is the same as my existing usb

Sandisk 32gb N1260

2 X Kingston 16gb DTSE9 as recommended on this forum - Just purchased

I have used my windows 10 PC and Laptop with the USB creator tool on all USB's with no joy.

What I  cannot understand is why the Transend won't work as its exactly the same usb as the one I’m using currently. I have also tried manually creating the usb's - same results. There is four usb ports on my Motherboard _ P6N Diamond series MS-7320 (V1.X) Mainboard all slots work with the current usb. I've tried different options to make the usb bootable - No joy.

When I boot with the newly created usb's all I get is a flashing curser, is this something to do with windows 10? I'm at my wits end to be honest!

 

The reason for doing this is recently my current usb is occasionally failing to load

Here is my original post on this matter -

Any further help or suggestions would be appreciated - thank you

 

[Update second license USB]

I tried removing the - and it made no difference  I’m puzzled tbh

If I set up the usb a new flash drive and tried to boot from that would that have a bad impact on my current set up or damage my current drives in any way?

[Update second license USB]

No. My flash drive will not boot. Seems to work fine in pc and laptop

c

Can I use pro2.key on my current server? Or is the second key for another build.

[Update second license USB]

No Joy

Copied config folder  and put pro2.key in config folder - Flashing curser at boot

Used creater tool on 2nd usb with backup from pro1.key usb and pasted pro2.key in config folder on 2nd usb - flashing curser at boot again.

Am I missing something, I have checked that pro2.key is bonded to usb

EDIT

Ran make bootable in admin mode as suggested in another post- checked uefi is uefi-

Both usb sticks are same brand  Trancend 2gb Ran chk disc   No errors found

Thank you

[Update second license USB]

Hi

Back in 2015 I purchased two keys and I am currently using one and have never needed to use the second usb.

I had a bit of a scare a few days back as my server was only intermittently reading the usb stick. (Cannot find device bond 0) error.

After a little playing around the usb stick is now currently working, although it could fail anytime.

Is there a simple way to copy my current configuration to my second usb which I have never used or updated from when it was purchased?

I have taken regular backups of my usb in the server using the tool provided by Unraid.

Basically, what I want to be able to do is connect my second USB to my windows pc and copy my configuration from the usb in the unraid server to the usb stick in my pc that has the second license key. Then if one fails I can just plug in the second usb and carry on using the server whilst I replace the failed one.

 

Thank you in advance

[Question regarding Parity-Check (Solved)]

Version: 6.7.2

Hi

I'm curious about this element of the parity check and cannot see any obvious answers in the manual or here.

Parity = 4tb

Array 18 HDD

Max HDD size excluding parity = 2TB

 

Elapsed time:          21 hours, 49 minutes

Current position:     3.45 TB (68.9 %)

Estimated speed:    56.2 MB/sec

Estimated finish:     7 hours, 41 minutes

Sync errors corrected:0

 

All my hdd's except the parity spun down 15 hours into the parity check, the only hdd running is the parity. What is being checked?

 

Thank you

@Userpaul You have a couple options. Set a static DHCP reservation on your router for the lan port you wanna use on your server or as Johnnie adviced remove these two files, reboot and go to settings>>>network and reaply a static IP for the interface you wanna use.

Thank you

Static DHCP set on router rather than unraid box. Windows 10 could not see server on network,

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

seemed to solve that part, not sure why.

Just need to sort out NIC now I think its failing

Unraid 6.7.2

Hi

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. When I boot up and all my sata cards have  loaded up I get a screen with the loading bzroot etc. on that screen is 5 options to load unraid and a mem check option. The sceen says tab to select options. Then there is a 4 second countdown before unraid loads up. How am I supposed to select one of the options with my keyboard when its not active until unraid has finished loading?  Am i missing something obvious here?

I have had some issues the past few days and it would have been usefull if I could have loaded the gui with networking.

 

thanks in advance

[Is my server visable on my network? (solved)]

Okay guys I have connected my network cable to my second port eth1 and the router has assigned and address of 192.168.0.22 which is good news. It looks like the other port eth0 is not working? I changed them over when I first had this issue but i did not reboot?  Am I a donut?

So I am going to reinstate the folders I renamed at tee-tee jorge suggestion.

 

If this pans out okay may I take this opportunity to thank you both for your help.

If one ethernet port goes down is the otherone likley too?

 

Update

When I reinstalled the two files I could not see my server on 192.168.0.102, removed them and rebooted and all is fine again? Router assigned 192.168.0.22.  As I'm just a home user the server is only switched on for TV, Movies and backups from home-pc etc.  it's a pain if I cant have a fixed IP address

I guess you already tried to use another browser, clear browser cache etc. If not, try this. Double check your routers DHCP configuration and make sure the IP of the server is outside of that range so no other device grabs that IP. Check if maybe the router somehow blocks http/https connections to your server.

I can't see anything obviously wrong with my router. I reset it back to factory default anyway, still no joy.

Delete/rename network.cfg and network-rules.cfg both on flash/config, then reboot and post new diags to see if you get an IP leased from the router.

 I am unable to log into my server via a browser or any of my devices. so when i type 192.168.0.102 or 192.168.0.102/main which is my desktop shortcut - see pictures

 

I have chaged my cables - reset router the only access i seem to have to my server at the moment is the screen connected directly to the server.

@Userpaul Are you able to access the webui of Unraid? If so, post your diagnostics.

No

 

Does your server is set to a static IP _

Static and it was set as master

Ive been trying commands like - tail -f --lines=99 /var/log/syslog etc  on root@tower

not with much success I might add

Unraid 6.7.2

Home PC win 10pro version 1809

Laptop Win 10 version 1909

Hi

At some point yesterday my unraid "disappeared" from my network PC and Laptop. At the same time my networked PC and laptop folders were still visible but became empty. I am also unable to see my unraid server on any other devices, 192.168.0.102.

I am currently reading this thread - Windows issues with unRAID - it's a long one!

What I need to establish first to help me problem solve and I am unsure how to do it is this:-

How can I tell if my Unraid server internet connection is actually broken as I cannot see it on my other devices. So can i see somewhere wether the network element is actually functioning.

Secondly when I boot into unraid I am unable to select any of the boot options on the screen i have attached to my server . ie unraid gui. because its set to 3 seconds before it boots and I can’t select it quick enough before the server starts to load up  where do i change that "pause time interval" so I can select unraid with gui?

 

Background

PC is new - windows installed last week Laptop fresh instal from downloaded copy of 10 last week W/C 23/03/20

Prior to yesterday i could see all my networked drives and folders. None of the computers / drives had shares enabled, it all just worked.

I set my two c drives to share all yesterday afternoon as a result of everything disappearing and the drives became visible and i could connect to them. network folders are still empty. So if I click my network folder on my for my own pc own the same pc its still empty. what is going on?

 

 

Thank you

 

[Fatal error: Out of memory]

Thx itimpi

Are these images any use? This is my status with plex running but not streaming

After 5minutes streaming to tv ram is at 50% After 10 minutes it's 61% (image at bottom)

[Fatal error: Out of memory]

Thanks 

I have 4GB ram. I had no issues with this until about two weeks ago.

its only happens when I’m watching something from plex on one of my tv’s in the house. When plex is running without watching anything it’s fine. It’s only when I watch something that the ram fills up. I have upgraded plex twice in the past few weeks. Nothing else has changed. I have switched off logging cache moves. That’s it

Disabled Mover logging. Looks okay now.

Regarding plex .. I'm being told to remove my version of plex as it has been deprecated from Community Applications. I just dont know at this time how to remove an app and everything that is associated with it . And it took me ages to setup this current version. I have a little reading to do.
