i have exact the same issue, black screen on VM that was running perfectly

it was either Unassigned Devices or Unassigned Devices Plus making issues with booting up, I removed it and installed again - all good now, thanks!

Yes, it did boot without any plugins (I just renamed plugin file extensions to .plg1). I will now enable one by one to see what's the root cause and then change topic name to (Solved)

Hi, Yesterday I tried to install machina box and before that I created a new cache pool from my unassigned nvme. Today when I tried to boot it, it's stuck on this screen. It does work in safe-mode, I removed everything related to VM and also that new cache pool, unfortunately it didn't help. Diagnostics attached. I would really apprieciate help and I am glad to buy a coffee! tower-diagnostics-20211204-1752.zip

unfortunately it's stuck on "Updating..." I waited like 5-10 minutes, then if I try to remove it, it's the same. Funny enough if I go to Tools -> Docker Safe New Perms, the VM disappeared? and then I just removed the file on cache...

I think there is something off with the permissions in my setup, is there a way to "reset" it? Why would such error occur... I followed the tutorial and just after running the helper script I have If I want to delete it, it's:

Following the guide, unfortunately I got an error and there is almost nothing on the google to try to overcome this... any ideas? edit1: I will try the tape trick now -> no change with the tape edit2: I will try with it on another motherboard -> I got different error, couldn't Initialze PAL -> I was able to succesfully flash it in UEFI mode edit3: What a ride, all drives are visible now I hope this topic will help someone in the future as well edit 4: I went to Tools -> New Config -> Selected Preserve "all" and following "Trust the Parity Drive" selected "Parity is already valid" and finally I see all greens thank you for your help @JorgeB

Thanks for clearing that out! Okay, so it worked perfectly in this mode with ASRock B365M Pro4 and G5400 for a year. What is bizzare I remember watching this tutorial a year ago and I thought I followed it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYYzfAaDLTs Now if I flash it to IT mode, I will have to do new config anyway right, but it should allow this missing 8TB disk to be seen again? 2nd option would be to keep it the way it is, create new config and utilise last 8th cable from the controller for a future disk?

her you go, Sir tower-diagnostics-20201218-1721.zip

It’s funny that all of my shucked drives are fine, this one is the only 8tb „regular” WD Red. I even tried it with the the tape mod, but no change. 5x 4tb are WD Reds no problems, same with shucked 8’s. What’s the easiest way to check firmware on my Dell H310?

Hi! I decided to upgrade my intel G5400 to new 10700k and Gigabyte Vision D setup and move compltely to VMs. I have been running my server for over a year now without any issues. After the upgrade I had to use 6.9.0-rc1 in order to recognize new NIC on my card (it was invisible for 6.8.3 version). I have a problem with one disk (normal WD Red 8TB, not shucked). I have 9 drives in my array: 1 via SATA (Parity) 8 via Dell H310 (as I remember I flashed it before making my setup, don't remember which version probably newest) All working well, but one Disk - normal WD Red 8TB, not shucked. Unfortunately for whatever reason now it's missing when connected via DELL H310 (and I tested all the cables) and it's only visible via SATA, but then it changed the name as you can see on attached screen. What would be the best solution to this? Also I am super curious why the disk decided to not work with te H310 anymore...?

Okay, nothing happened to my array - thank you so much. The only thing that doesnt work now is mentioned VM, it’s stuck on „TianoCore” after I try to launch it :.|

I am not sure - how can I verify it? Should I try to boot my PC without the unRaid USB stick and see if it boots? It seems that you are right @jonathanm, I pulled out the unRaid USB stick and it still booted... How can I now get the stick to work again?

What do I need to change in order to shut down my VM? I passthrough my GPU as well, so currently I can only shut down my Windows client from it. I am not sure how to even trigger unRaid reboot now. Both unassigned device NVMe and VM are on "auto-start"

Problem: I can't access my unRaid web interface (usual address doesn't work) What happened: Today I moved my Win10 VM from cache SSDs to unassigned NVMe device, I struggled a little bit, but then I used spaceinvaders video and finished with a success (it started booting from his Clover img) - what is weird for me, is that I see all of my array disks inside "Disk Management" tool in Win10 + I see unRaid USB stick as D: in "My Computer" I am super happy that my VM works from unassigned device and is booting well, but... I have no idea how to access unRaid now :|. I couldn't find similar case in this forum, therefore I created new topic - any ideas what to do now?

Hi, Today I added my 7th device (5 hdd + 2 ssd [250gb each]), upgraded my unRaid license and I noticed that one of my Cache drives moved to Unassigned Devices. What is interesting is that it cache says "Size 500gb" despite there is just one SSD left in this section and another one is unassigned. I read there were issues with adding devices with different browsers, I can operate on macos, so currently cannot use IE. I attach screenshot + diag file. Help is much appreciated tower-diagnostics-20180710-1420.zip From FAQ: Why is my cache disk(s) unassigned after a reboot? Some users have this issue when using Chrome to add cache disk(s), single cache disk or one or more disks from a cache pool don't stay assigned after a reboot, use IE or Firefox for this operation, use it for the complete procedure, assign cache disk(s), start array, stop array and reboot, your assignments should stick now. If using a different browser doesn't work, boot unRAID in safe mode, assign your cache devices, start array, stop array and reboot in normal mode, assignments should now stick. I think, when I tried to assign my 2nd cache drive, there was a warning saying "all data will be overwritten", maybe I did something wrong?

Hi, My setup is: i7 5820k GTX970 3 HDD (Parity 4TB and 4TB + 3TB) 2 SSD (250GB + 250GB) - used as cache pool in single mode so I have 500GB space I use deluge, PLEX and 1 Win10 VM (8 threads for VM, 4 threads for the rest, sits on cache) dockers. I noticed that lately performance of my unRAID dropped in every aspect. My VM that worked perfectly now has regular problems with sound, graphics, mouse scroll stops working from time to time... even the keyboard stopped working once. On deluge, whenever one file is downladed and the move to array action triggers, all of the other transfers go down to 0kb/s until the file is fully moved. I looked at the MSI, but I think the problem is somewhere deeper, as even without the VM there are problems when moving files etc. I recently hit 90% on both of my HDDs and I am going to buy new 4TB today... but the problems started before I had 90% disk storage filled. Any thoughs on that? I really don't know what should be my next step : /

I have very similar issue, is there any solution?

Hi, My setup is: i7 5820k GTX970 3 HDD (Parity 4TB and 4TB + 3TB) 2 SSD (250GB + 250GB) - used as cache pool in single mode so I have 500GB space I use deluge, PLEX and 1 Win10 VM (8 threads for VM, 4 threads for the rest, sits on cache) dockers. 1) Whenever I download couple of files at the same time and one of them is fully downloaded -> triggers the move from cache to array, all of the other transfers go down to 0kb/s until the file is fully moved. It is very troublesome especially for bigger files (10GB+) and I remember I didn't had that issue before adding second SSD to cache (I think). It seems that moving the files from cache to array also affects my sound and graphics... I lose framerates and sound) 2) I have Razer Kraken USB headset which is connected to USB on my PC or one of my monitors USB sockets. I noticed that I lose sound randomly and then in order to make it work again I have to disable and enable the device in the devices manager...

Ok, bug #1 fixed using Internet Explorer (what's funny, I don't use Chrome, but Firefox with uBlock plugin - maybe it behaves the same way as Chrome hmm?). I attach diagnostics tower-diagnostics-20170319-1459.zip

Thank you for your replies, I will test it today. When it comes to the second problem, for example today when I downloaded a huge 40 - 50gb package and it started to move all of my files to array from cache drives, everything almost froze. Other files stopped downloading etc... What might the reason for that?

Hi, My setup is: 3 HDD (Parity 4TB and 4TB + 3TB) 2 SSD (250GB + 250GB) - used as cache pool in single mode so I have 500GB space I use deluge, PLEX and 1 Win10 VM that uses GPU passthrough and I love it. I have couple of issues with my current setup. 1) After I shut down my unRaid it doesn't remember my configuration. Whenever I turn it on, it sees only 1 SSD in Cache section and another one in Unassigned devices. I have to manually change the number of cache slots from 1 to 2 and then the Unassigned SSD jumps to second slot and I can start the array. It didn't act like that before... 2) When I had just 1 SSD I had no problems with downloading the files to cache drive and then moving them automatically to the array. Everything was smooth. Now with 2 SSDs it seems as sometimes my file transfer just drops to 0 kb/s, additionally whenever I play any game on my VM ping is getting high at the load of the game and what I noticed, my Firefox browser started to really lag when I scroll pages. I do not know how those are connected I just want to give as many observations as I can in order to diagnose what is wrong. If you have any ideas how to improve my situation I would really appreciate it.

Thank you, I actually did not install the network drivers in the first place.

Somehow my problem with the lag (when entering Apps section) disappeared . I think it was a problem with my router. Thanks !
