    Unraid 6.8.3 - Upgrade, multiple problems, server died

    in General Support

    Posted

    6pm update:

    1. Updated my motherboard bios to the latest

    2. Magically this allow me to boot into the GUI again, not because there is an issue with the firmware but because the BIOS update reset my system and disable all virtualization stuffs... somehow this allow me to get back to the GUI again...

    3. Clear my config file, etc to tidy things up, and get the boot stable again and turning on all the virtualization stuffs again - AMD-V

    4. But now, I encountered a new problem, I can start my Windows 10 VM using VNC but I can't get this to work with GPU passthrough. It was working 100% before the system crashed down on me few days ago.

    5. The VM starts then paused and generate error message...

     

    Error message as per below:

    I have tried several of the recommended solutions like amd_iommu=on iommu=pt pci=noaer vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 acs pcie_acs_override=downstream, including enabling Hyper-V and Q35, it manages to boot but showing blank screen (i.e. no video output)...

     

    Any suggestions/recommendation that I can try out? Note: The whole thing was working correctly using 6.6.7 just a week ago before all the troubles begin!

    I managed to do a chkdsk and fixed the error -> Try to reboot my server again, didn't work

    I then copied the previous folder to the main/root folder -> Still doesn't work, the localhost still refuse to connect and display the GUI

     

    But I managed to do a diagnostic (now attached), any help would be appreciated!

     

    Note: I am unsure why the date is showing Feb 15? I can only tell that's the latest diagnostic file that I did....

    Thanks for the reply...

     

    Yes, I should've done diagnostic but it is too late now.

    What version were you on before upgrading? It is 6.6.7

    Did you stress test (e.g. run a preclear cycle) your drives before adding to the array? Yeap, all good, using the preclear plugin

     

    Your issue with booting looks to be a problem with the USB stick.

    Are you able to plug it into another (Windows) computer and run a disk check? - I can try, it is booting but then failed to load the necessary stuff to load the UNRAID GUI...

    Is your stick USB 3.0 or 2.0? Are you using USB 3.0 or 2.0 port on your motherboard for the stick? USB3.0, it has been working perfectly before the upgrade, no issue whatsoever... it worked for 1-2 days after the upgrade, so I am not sure what has changed since the last time, other than it crapped itself... but too many coincidences, first drive failure then USB drive failure after 1-2 days, after upgrading to 6.8.3... all point out to 6.8.3 version that create unstable environment somehow and then all these issues....

    -NOTE: The login screen works, I can enter my root password and get in, but the Mozilla GUI is saying Unable to connect (the address here is localhost)

     

    One thing that really painful here is not only I have issue with the array (and VMs) but I have issue with the USB drive itself after the upgrade, the devs should build an automatic roll back feature inside the GUI/through the boot prompt similar to what Windows have (albeit that one only occasionally work)....

    I am at my wits end, this is the second time when I tried to upgrade and the whole thing went wrong. First time, it killed a drive and then I rolled back, encounter zero issue since then. After a while a prompt showing that I should upgrade to minimise some login vulnerability so I upgraded to the latest 6.8.3 (I think, I can't my server now).

     

    1. First, it killed a functional almost 6 months old - 4TB drive. One of my VM just hang and when I reboot, one of the drive is showing an error and requiring me to rebuild the array. (note: this happened last time as well when I tried to upgrade about 6 months ago).

    2. Went to the shop and spent $150 to get another 4TB drive, change into a completely different SATA port and use a brand new SATA cable for just in case scenario.

    3. Spent 12 hours rebuilding the parity and then I started my Windows 10 VM.

    4. It was a patchy start for the VM requiring me to reattach the keyboard and mouse multiple times before the VM detected them. Then occasionally after a while the screen will turn off by itself, requiring me to turn off the VM and restart it back again. I did this 2 times then the whole things just crashed.

    5. Went to the GUI and saw that one of the drive failed again! This is a brand new 4TB  drive that I just bought!

    6. The whole UNRAID is unresponsive, forcing me to restart the server.... now UNRAID refuse to boot! It says "...waiting for /dev/disk/by-label/UNRAID (will check for 30 sec) at boot up..." and "cannot find device Bond0" and the whole gui refuse to start.... (see attachment)...

     

    I just can't imagine UNRAID releasing so unstable release and it actually kills hardware without a possibility to fix it. This experience has really leave a bad impression, even if I rebuild the whole things (which will take days), I don't know if I can trust the solution again....

     

    Happy to listen to suggestions... (and thanks in advance)
