[6.4 - Array Starting - Starting Services (Stuck?)]

Thanks @ljm42, that fixed it!!!

 

- i restored /boot to its previous state, and restarted to confirm the original issue was present at startup (it was). 

- i updated /boot/config/domain.cfg per comment from @ljm42 and restarted. 

 

I didn't have any isos in /mnt/user/isos, so i left the VIRTIOISO blank.

If you're willing you could try redoing your flash to make sure it's not related to your config or any customization, which IMO it's highly likely.

 

Backup the current flash drive, create a new install on it and copy just super.dat (disk assignments) and your key from the current flash, both on the config folder, if the array starts normally you can then start reconfiguring the rest one thing at a time.

 

 

 

 

 

Quick update - i followed @johnnie.black advice: 

 

I backed up the /boot drive, deleted everything from it, downloaded the latest unRAID server: https://lime-technology.com/download/, and then copied over my key and super.dat file from my backup (/boot/config/super.dat and /boot/config/Basic.key). 

 

Upon restart, the array started up successfully! 

 

However (obviously), now i have none of my dockers or other system configuration. I'll spend a little time seeing if i can add back config slowly enough to find the culprit.

Thanks for taking a look. I re-installed and opened in private browsing as well as in a different browser. Still the same issue.

Sure thing. I downloaded the diagnostics after initially running into issues. I believe this was prior to disabling docker or plugins though (this might have been on the second restart?). 

 

I didn't expect such a quick response, so i've already reverted back to 6.3.5. If you want me to try something or get a new log, I'm happy to go back to 6.4.0.

Just on the off chance, did you try simply loading the UI in another tab?  Does anything happen / appear if you hit the log button?

I did try that, nothing different happened. I was able to use the new terminal/console feature to view the syslog, but the "Log" display popup (from the nav bar) never loaded. Although i did find at one point i could view the syslog through the ui from the Tools -> Syslog page.

I'm having the same issue. Shares and dockers show up after the array is started, but VM's are inaccessible. The UI just says "services starting"  Tried safe mode without plugins and disabling Docker but nothing worked.  Reverted back to 6.3.5 for the time being. 

 

Same for me. I disabled all plugins and docker. Tried following all relevant steps from the "6.4.0 Stable Release - Update Notes". My server is still stuck in "service starting".
