mem test complete, no error...

This might take a while ?

im pretty sure the original stick i had in is fine, i performed a low level check on it. The sever was booting fine albeit the unraid driver was crashing and stalling the server. Now i can get it to boot at all, keeps getting stuck at the checksum error on the original flash drive, now on three random generic drive flash drives the make bootable wont complete. just says.. Make Bootable v1.5 Volume in drive I is UNRAID Volume Serial Number is 3CE1-0D8E Ready to make disk bootable! Press any key to continue . . . I:\syslinux\syslinux.exe -maf I: Writing MBR: Access is denied. Did not successfully update the MBR; continuing... Completed Press any key to continue . . . I dont know why it says access denied, i have reformatted them numerous times. Even if i can get it back to a working state even when it was crashing i can go about what i need to do for now.

Yes i am running it elevated

i have tried with two different flash drives now, the BIOS picks them up but complaines there is no OS, make bootable bat file gives an error when i try to make them bootable.. Make Bootable v1.5 Volume in drive I is UNRAID Volume Serial Number is 3CE1-0D8E Ready to make disk bootable! Press any key to continue . . . I:\syslinux\syslinux.exe -maf I: Writing MBR: Access is denied. Did not successfully update the MBR; continuing... Completed Press any key to continue . . . If i run that on the original flash drive i get this... Make Bootable v1.5 Volume in drive J is UNRAID Volume Serial Number is 48E8-11BF Ready to make disk bootable! Press any key to continue . . . J:\syslinux\syslinux.exe -maf J: Completed Press any key to continue . . . In both instances i am running as administrator. I have also reformatted the original USB stick and run a low level test on it and it reported as bieng in good condidtion.

Still the same, gets stuck at that checksum message... i am quite desperate to get this to a working state again, even crashing as i need to pull data from it

no, i didnt make a back up, i just over wrote the bz files and tried to boot. EDIT: i have just backed it up now as it is and will reformat it tthen put the back up on

so its stalling on a checksum, i gether that is to do with it not matching what was previously on there ? its trying to boot but stops there and does it again when i press enter

should all these files be on the flash drive ?

Ok, now the GUI doesnt load at all...seems like the server is not finishing booting, do i need to run the makebootable bat file again on the flash drive ?

Just looking at the options and the only previous version i am offered is 6.11.1, i am unsure of how to safely go about downgrading, i dont want to break anything, is it a straight forward process ?

BIOS updated but still the server is crashing, parity check starts but it gets to about 3.5GB then the ETA count just keeps rising, it wont stop if i try to cancel it and after a few hours i cant access the GUI, the server will not shutdown by power button either and i am forced to hard reboot it. DIAGS attached. thank you. warptower-diagnostics-20221218-0949.zip

its not completed a parity check for some time now

BIOS update for motherboard ?

My server wont shut down properly so i end up hard rebooting it which invokes a parity check , the parity check never finishes, it just seems to get stuck, last time it was up to 6000+ day ETA to finish, everything is functioning fine otherwise.

No i dont, was just about to reply with that but thought i would try removing the CMOS battery and it is ok now, normally if the CMOS is flat it would pause post and ask you to press F1 to enter setup. The server just sometimes randomly stagnates, it wont power off and you have to hard reset it...i dont kow what causes it to happen, can be fine for months then boom...attached the diags if anyone fancies seeing if there is anything untowardwarptower-diagnostics-20220605-1343.zip

tried to turn my server on remotely the other day, sometimes i just have to refresh the opevpn config file, i went home but the server was unresponsive but on, when i pressed the power button it instantly shut off, i can now no longer boot it, it powers on, you hear some drives spin up but they spin down and it will just sit there like that, again, pressing the power it goes straight off. Just hooked up a monitor and its not outputting any data, just an underscore on a black screen

Yes, however, i am a complete wally, i plugged the drives and power cables from bottom row upwards wheras they were supposed to be top row downwards...DOH!...thanks for the prompt replies as always, you are what makes UNraid so great

They are the same as they were before i swap all the gear out so i dont understand whats changed here

Oh dear... warptower-diagnostics-20220512-1631.zip

I transferred everything into a new server case, i took screen shots of the slot allocations and when i started up unraid its saying all the drives are missing and the configuration is stale, i thought i would just have to set the slots back to what they were but there are now drives to select, everything is connect back up, i didnt take any notice of which raid card was in which slot or what cable was in each card, could this be the issue ?

i think i got it...i was using the wrong 'external storage' in nextcloud..when i went to administraion there was another 'external storage' and i added 'local' and typed /data2 and this now shows up...see below..however, space invader ones video doesnt tell you how to get an external link to the files, its using the internal IP...im so close i can taste it. https://gyazo.com/c94cdcc2a249cf434f7bcf0c3ed5dd11 https://gyazo.com/2eba215baf065ffb4df9b2fc9934a45e

I have followed space invaderones video to set this up and have it working ok, i set this up specifically to share a 2TB disk image, initially i tried moving it with MC to the nextcloud folder but it wouldnt show up, i then tried to upload it...that was going to take a year i think. I have been seraching through this thread and read that i needed to install the external storage app which i have and i need to map the folder in the docker, this is where i am getting confused i think... https://gyazo.com/321449172c01b0dfe44984073a199180 i added a new path and named the container path /ellis and then the host path /mnt/user/xbox/OG XBOX DISK CLONE/ and then clicked add, when i go to external storage on nextcloud it says 'No external storage configured or you don't have the permission to configure them' I know i am just not understanding or typing something correctly, any help or a quicker and easier way to share this file

I have another one in the server working fine, if the bios was the issue then wouldnt that one not work..i have three in total but want to use this one because the port are in a better position

i dont think so, its not even showing at bios level
