@jonathanm Oh i guess that is my mistake what does it use for the boot loader when booting the the unraid splash screen it just looked alot like my other bootable distro's that use grub. Any ideas on something else i can try?

Bump The issue is still going on, i have a theory that if i upgrade the Unraid USB from Grub to Grub2 it might solve the issue. Any thoughts anyone know how i can go about doing this? I am familiar tho still a novice with Linux and Bash. However i don't think that this would be that complicated a task. I have just tested both drives that i had on another computer and they both booted without issue in BIOS and UEFI. So i know it is not an issue with the drives and as stated above i am able to boot from a Live Ubuntu USB and that works fine. I believe that USB was using the YUMI Multiboot based on Grub2.

i had a similar issue after an upgrade, what happens when you go to the IP address/ Main (ie. http://192.168.1.100/Main)?

Few questions that may help get answers for you. When you say performance issues are you referring to network slowness (ie. transferring stuff to the VM over the network, browsing the internet) or slowness within the VM where opening files and directories and applications stored on the VM are slow? or a bit of both? Another question related to the above are you running your VM from your cache pool or from your storage array? Second about building a VM with no network attached if i remember correctly you will configure the IP address and network settings in the host os on the VM, Perhaps someone else can confirm this as my service is down for the moment and im having some issues with booting to unraid.

Iv had similar issues when my Docker.img files was to small i increased the size and then redeployed the docker container using the same config locations everything imported without issue and i was back up and running, Perhaps you are having a similar issue, also check to see do you have your dockers running from your storage array or your cache drive? i have hears similar issues having to do with disks going to sleep i have not had that issue but that could be another cause.

TL;DR: Upgraded server hardware due to power failure and new server will not boot into Unraid. Problem: Upgraded server hardware from Dell Poweredge R710 to a Dell Poweredge R910 when attempting to boot from USB i get an error message; Failed to Allocate memory for Kernel command line, bailing out booting kernel failed: bad file number. I recently had a power failure which rendered my Dell Poweredge R710 inoperable, as a result i was able to obtain a replacement for it. The replacement device is a Dell Poweredge R910. The configuration is: 4 x Intel Xenon E7-4850 (10 Core/ 20 thread) 64GB DDR3 ECC Registered Memory Perc H700 Raid controller iDRAC 6 Enterprise I have validated that BIOS is up to date according to https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/poweredge-r910/drivers I have verified that the hardware is recognized in the BIOS and posts without issue, the problem comes when i attempt to boot from the Unraid USB in UEFI mode, when i attempt to boot in legacy mode it never gets to the splash screen (GRUB Loader) to boot Unraid. Seeing that there were several people with similar issues i looked for resolution and was unable to find one: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/66286-failed-to-allocate-memory-for-kernel-command-line-bailing-out-booting-kernel-failed-bad-file-number/ https://forum.level1techs.com/t/failed-to-allocate-memory-for-kernel-command-line-bailing-out-booting-kernel-failed-bad-file-number-unraid-6-6-7/140482/11 https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1047343-failed-to-allocate-memory-for-kernel-command-line-bailing-out-booting-kernel-failed-bad-file-number-unraid-667/?tab=comments#comment-12418630 After reading the updates in the posts above it appears that there may be 2 potential causes of the issue with booting to the Unraid USB. there is an issue with the GRUB boot-loader not being able to communicate with the onboard memory to load the OS. I was able to boot a multi-boot USB into Ubuntu from a GRUB boot menu, Ubuntu loads and sees all memory and CPU cores and threads. There is an issue with the allocation of memory as video memory in the BIOS/ UEFI that causes the failure of the booting of Syslinux. I am unable to change the allocation of system memory in the BIOS, it currently shows 8MB and does not allow for editing. As a side note i have attempted to boot the USB in legacy mode as a drive, hard disk, and floppy none of which have solved the issue. I have also built a new flash-drive with the utility found at https://unraid.net/download using the latest stable release both with and without UEFI support. I have also tried the internal and external USB (front/ back) and all give the same results. I am unsure how to resolve this issue any assistance is greatly appreciated, I am unsure what would allow the R710 to boot in both UEFI and legacy without issue whereas the R910 is having issues.

Aw crap i must have hit delete by accident while testing thanks for that catch, i don't think that was the issue i will update it and test. if that doesn't work as i have been changing settings perhaps a refresh from default is needed. I'll delete the apps and docker.img and try again.

apologies yes i wrote /Data when i should have written /data when i changed the path within the settings from ${AppDir} to /data it would error out. however when i changed it back to ${AppDir} it appears that the downloads would initiate correctly.

Confirmed that changing the MainDir back to ${MainDir}/downloads allows for the downloading of files however UMASK set to 000 does not appear to solve the issue with files being moved over.

Setting MainDir back to ${MainDir}/downloads appears to allow downloading of files: INFOThu Nov 28 2019 12:51:30Successfully downloaded NAMEOFTVSHOW.S01E01.INTERNAL.1080p.WEB.H264-DEFLATE/dTPKvBPUY1j5F9.part02.rar Letting file finish with UMASK set to 000 to see if file will now import.

Testing with MainDir set to \Data\downloads appears to give same error: ERRORThu Nov 28 2019 12:47:09Could not create file /Data/downloads/tmp/nzb-38.tmp

Testing with MainDir set to \Data appears to give this error: ERRORThu Nov 28 2019 12:43:09Could not create file /Data/tmp/nzb-20.tmp Now testing with \Data\downloads

Ok, just tried downloading with UMASK set to 000 and NZBget: /data = /mnt/user/Downloads/ /config = /mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-nzbget/config Sonarr: /data = /mnt/user/Downloads/ /media = /mnt/user/TV Shows/ /config = /mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-sonarr/config with path set in ZNBget to ${MainDir}/downloads, that did not resolve the issue. I will now try with /Data set for the MainDir.

Ok, ill try 000. now i did look at Sonarr and did not see an option for UMASK is this something i would need to SSH into the container and set?

I am using all Binhex containers so i would imagine they are all set with similar settings? And for the paths in the NZBget when it says ${AppDir} that should refer the the \Data Location = /mnt/user/Downloads/ So in that location you should see /mnt/user/Downloads/downloads/completed and /mnt/user/Downloads/downloads/intermediate ${MainDir} should refer to the previous location of /mnt/user/Downloads/downloads So my understanding is if i have no UMASK set and my Data = /mnt/user/Downloads in Sonarr then it should be able to locate the files and move them?

That is correct it should be: NZBget: /data = /mnt/user/Downloads/ /config = /mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-nzbget/config Sonarr: /data = /mnt/user/Downloads/ /media = /mnt/user/TV Shows/ /config = /mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-sonarr/config If i understand correctly tho if UMASK is set to 1000 it will not use that feature so it shouldn't filter anything out correct?

UMASK is set to 1000

Thanks all for the reply, ok so i understand that i need to have a common path for the 2 apps. I have tried mapping sonarr to the download location and i get the same thing it will see the files and can initiate a download however it does not move the files or rename files etc. I have even created a separate share to test on one of the disks in the array instead of the cache drive. I have also tried restoring permissions via the script above. As of now the config for both apps are as follows: NZBget: /data/mnt/user/Downloads/ /config/mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-nzbget/config Sonarr: /data/mnt/user/Downloads/ /media/mnt/user/TV Shows/ /config/mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-sonarr/config

Im having issues with what i think to be permissions between 2 docker apps (NZBget, Sonarr). Docker containers: binhex-nzbget Settings: /data/mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-nzbget/data /config/mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-nzbget/config binhex-sonarr (Version 2.0.0.5338, Mono Version 5.20.1) Settings: /config/mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-sonarr/config /data/mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-sonarr/data/ /media/mnt/user/TV Shows/ When i add a show it is able to connect to NZBget to search and download a file, the file will successfully download and NZBget states that it unpacks the file. However Sonarr never picks up the file. It appears that he file is able to be seen however i get the following error. Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr: /usr/local/bin/nzbget/downloads/completed/TV Shows/NAMEOFTVSHOW.S01E06.NAMEOFEPISODE.1080p..WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTb I have tried both the Docker Safe New Permissions under settings as well as SSH into the server and applying permissions to the directory with: chmod -R 777 ./ None of which have resolved the issue, after which i wiped the configuration and re-imaged the flashdrive and started from scratch however the issue persists. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an idea, both light and dark versions available.
