I have an APC UPS connected to my unRAID server. I have it configured to shut down my server properly, and it works, but I cannot figure out how to have it shut down my Ubuntu VMs before the server shuts down? I had a power outage this morning and I lost data on one of my VMs because it didn't shutdown properly, but unRAID did. I'm not very strong with Linux, so if there is a guide I can follow, that would be great. I've tried searching, but I haven't found anything that has been helpful. Thanks for your help, all!

Thanks remotevisitor. I'm sorry, I guess I should have stated, I've done that a number of times, but it keeps turning back to orange and then showing the error on the right side of the OS when I log in. Is there any way to make sure that once I've acknowledged the error, it remains that way unless it increases?

A while back one of my drives that is in a disk shelf threw a UDMA CRC ERROR COUNT of 1. It has stayed at 1 for a couple of months, so I'm not worried about it, but now every time I log into the server I have error messages about it. I was wondering if there is any way to just acknowledge the error and have UNRaid stop throwing it unless it changes? I've attached a copy of my diagnostics in case that is of any help. Thanks, everyone. epcot-diagnostics-20210616-2257.zip

Thanks for taking a look, johnnie.black. I don't have a spare disk on hand, I can order one and have it here in a couple days if I need to, but I was hoping to avoid the expense. I just ordered a hot swap bay to install in my server so I can move my parity drives into the server itself (out of the NetApp shelf), and I was going to see if doing this made any difference (as the drive in question is one of my parity drives). I'll try the hot swap cage first and see if that seems to fix the issue, if not, then I'll grab another drive and replace it, but like I said, I was hoping to avoid that if possible. I'll let you know what I find.

A few months ago I purchased a NetApp DS4246 disk shelf for my unraid server. Everything has been working great with it with the exception that one of my parity drives keeps becoming disabled and I have to do a rebuild on the full array about twice a month (which I know is NOT GOOD). The drive shows no errors when running an extended SMART test, and I have tried moving it to different locations in the disk shelf, even swapping it into the location of another drive, but I'm still seeing the same drive become disabled repeatedly. The drive is only about 6 months old, but I'm not sure if maybe it is bad in some way that isn't showing up on SMART. I have attached my diagnostics file in hopes that someone smarter than me may be able to shed some light on what is happening. I'm holding off on starting the next rebuild to see if you guys have any idea how to fix this. Thanks for any help you can give! epcot-diagnostics-20200128-1107.zip

I restarted the system, started the array in Maintenance Mode as @itimpi recommended and checked each drive. I didn't find any errors on any of the drives, so I stopped the array and restarted it normally. After this, I re-ran the Fix Common Problems scan and it did not detect an error with the log again, so it looks like everything is fine. Thanks for your help, @BRiT and @itimpi!! Updating title to "Solved."

OK, so all of my drives are housed in a NetApp Disk Shelf and I'm guessing my disk shelf either rebooted or went offline briefly on Sep 6th while I was on vacation. I do have notifications set up, but I wasn't near a computer for a week, so I didn't see them. When I got back, I saw all the errors, but the array was up and running and the server seemed to be working fine. So I just stopped and restarted the array, which seemed to fix all the errors, but I guess that didn't clear the log. I'll try restarting and see if that helps. Thanks guys!!

In the Fix Common Problems plugin I'm getting the following error: /var/log is getting full (currently 100 % used) Either your server has an extremely long uptime, or your syslog could be potentially being spammed with error messages. A reboot of your server will at least temporarily solve this problem, but ideally you should seek assistance in the forums and post your diagnostics. I'm not sure what this means, or how to look at the logs. so I was hoping someone here could give me a hand. I have posted a copy of the diagnostics below.

Is it normal for this to lock up the web GUI when the backup is running? I started it about an hour ago and since then, I can't access my server via the GUI, but I can SSH into it and when running htop I see that it is pinning the CPU usage at 100 (though only on a single core). I can still access my shares from other systems, and my dockers are still working (my MineOS server and OpenVPN are still running anyway), but I can't access the GUI. Was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue? I'm going to let the backup run overnight and check back on the server tomorrow. Thanks for any input you guys can give. EDIT: This has now been running for 14 hours and continues to peg the CPU at 100% load and I am still unable to access the unRAID GUI. Still wondering if this is normal? Should I let it continue or should I hard reboot the server (as I've tried killing the process and can't seem to kill it)?

I was able to resolve my issue. If you have bonding enabled to allow multiple NICs to work together, you have to set Key1 to "bond0" (or whatever the connection name is). After doing this, I was able to get into the GUI w/ no issues.

Hey all, I'm trying to set up OpenVPN on my unRAID server, I'm following the video from Spaceinvader One (here), but when I try to open the WebUI I get the page below (The site cannot be reached) and I'm hoping you guys can help me out. Sorry, I'm very new to unRAID and I've never used any type of VPN except what I use for work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
