Hi All,
Repeating problem here, hoping someone has a solution. Attached is my diagnostics zip(Yes it is empty, that is literally what it's spitting out when running diagnostics)
unRAID Version: 6.5.3
Problem is unraid on boot is not able to find /dev/disk/by-label/UNRAID
I have confirmed that the USB is formatted fat32, label is UNRAID(no spaces or special chars all caps etc)
I've tried multiple USB's
tried to manually find the drive by ls /dev/disk/by-label ( return by-label does not exist in /dev/disk )
Drive can be manually mounted fine by using /dev/disk/by-id || /dev/disk/by-path ( mount /boot /dev/disk/by-id(path)/<drive identifier>
Checked that the label is present on the device when booted into unraid (mlabel /dev/disk/by-id/<identifier>-part1 -i :: )
Tried enabling/disabling ehci pass-off
The motherboard only has USB2 ports, so usb3 isn't the culprit here.
Desperate effort attempts
Copy unraid to sata hdd, make bootable, boot from it, plugin usb after kernel (before os loads) has loaded (Hoping to avoid bios interaction of the drive at boot and purely rely on echi passoff).
Tried disabling VT-d in case it was IOMMU doing some funky stuff.
Tried disabling virtualization completely
Tried both UEFI and Legacy Boot
Kicked the machine a few times (now I have a sore foot, 0/10 would not recommend)
System Specifications:
Intel Xeon E5-2660 (v1)
64GB DDR3 ECC 800mhz ram
Supermicro X9SRL-F Motherboard (bios: r3.2)
LSI 9211-8i HBA in IT mode + 6* WD RED 2TB drives.
Any help would be appreciated, if I was able to edit fstab or overwrite it during boot to simple change the mount location from /dev/disk/by-label to /dev/disk/by-id or something that would be great, or have it just simply find the first drive partition /dev/sda1.
