    (Solved) Help - updated to 6.3.5 and unable to boot off USB

    in General Support

    Posted

    Hello Frank1940, thanks for the quick reply.

     

    I do have the reg key as I made a concerted  effort to save that by my mailing that to myself, pitty I didn't do that with config info... learning note to self!!!

    Funny thing is I have been transferring data to the cloud, just not got to the folder that my unRaid saved files are in.. yes muppet award ?

     

    I know what my drive arrays are as I labelled the drives in the server so know what's parity and drives1-6 plus ssd cache drive.

     

    So, going to grab a fresh USB and see what happens...

     

     

     

     

    (Solved) Help - updated to 6.3.5 and unable to boot off USB

    Hi everyone, I really need some help here.

     

    6.3.4 was ruining fine, logged into the browser GUI today and saw a 6.3.5 version available, so clicked on update and after it did its patching as I have done several times before I rebooted...  and now my issue which I don't believe is down to the upgrade but...

     

    I left it a few minutes and then refreshed the webpage to unRaid and still a blank screen not connecting, pinged the IP of the server and no response.. hmm I thought.

    I then plugged in a VGA Cable and connected it a monitor... the bios was sat trying to enable network boot at which point I thought that's not right it should have booted the USB drive.

    Rebooted again and when into the bios, all drives show including the boot drive a Kingston Datatraveler 3.0 so forced a boot of the USB drive when the screen went blank for a couple of seconds and then the network boot kicked I bypassing the USB boot. That's not good I thought...

     

    So I took the USB drive out of the server and connected it to my win 10 desktop when it presented me with a  "drive unrecognised do you want to format it" error, at that point I thought crap its corrupted. unplugged and re plugged in each time saying the same error, looks like it has failed.  I am now trying to create an image of the usb drive using R-Studio and it is giving me so lots of read disk errors and so going to take another 6hrs o I can see what data is on here.

     

    I searched for a backup of the USB disk and I know I have one on the array... but so far haven't found another.. ?

     

    How can I boot my server and mount the array, I don't want to just go ahead and try a default install on a different USB stick as not sure that would affect the array negativity.

     

    Please help, what can I do?

     

    Reduced network speed from 1gig to 100Mb/s - why?

    Hi, Ive noticed inconsistent transfer speeds as of late and I am not entirely sure why that is.

    Using 6.2.4

     

    Looking at the Network settings within unRAID I see that eth0 has dropped to 100MB/s from 1000Mb/s and don't know why that is.

    My whole network is 1gig and no 100Mb devices on it.

    If I restart the UnRAID box it shows me 1000Mb/s for a  while and then goes back to show me 100Mb/s

    I don't recall seeing this in earlier releases...

     

    What can I check that might be the cause of this drop?

     

    Thanks.

    2 suggestions I can add are:

     

    1. put your unraid box and any clients in the same workgroup in your network.

     

    2. Make the unraid server the 'current local master browser' - you may find that another device on your network is the local master and this will cause issues with smb shares
