  1. Hi all, 

    Last night I shutdown the server from my mobile phone, it was by clicking on the shutdown button of the web interface and because I was next to the server I've noticed it did it right away like in two seconds which is not the usual thing.

     

    Today after starting the server again it started a parity check making me think that something went wrong with last night's shutdown.

     

    Since this is not the first time I've noticed this situation I would like to ask for your advice so I can avoid potential issues.

     

    Thanks in advance.

  2. Hi, i have a similar issue on my VM using EVGA GTX 970 SSC

     

    Today i've realized that my screen settings was on 60Hz. used to be 144Hz. but when i tried to change it there is no option aside from 60, did lots of troubleshooting:

    • tested another DP cable = only 60Hz.
    • switch to HDMI = only 60Hz.
    • rebooted in baremetal = DP up to 165Hz. and HDMI 144Hz. same result with different cables.
    • NVIDIA driver wiped with DDU installed and installed fresh. = 60Hz.
    • Changed virtIO driver from 190 to latest 225-2 but VM crashes so revert back to ver. 190.

    The only changes that i recall are related to Unraid OS updates.

  3. Hi all,

     

    Posted this on plugin thread but had no answer.

     

    After upgrading parity disk to a bigger one I added the old parity disk to the array, now with more free space I want to move files from Disk1 to Disk3 but no matter hoy much I tried unBalance isn't doing anything.

     

    I've tried scatter, select folder to be move from Disk1, then select destination Disk3, when pressed Plan permissions error or warning shows as this:

    image.png.9bc1cd0876eb686aba9fdaf3e1f81693.png

     

    Ran Fix common problems extended test and it returned this: (other directories and irrelevant info not included on the screenshot)

    image.png.53163a7b50951194e072e9185561f7c1.png

     

    If I continue and select move it says all files were moved but after checking destination Disk that isn't true. Tried copy instead but same result.

    All Dockers are stopped as well as VMs.

     

    Any hints?

  5. 1 hour ago, Squid said:

    No.  A process kept disk #1 in use.  Stopping the array vs a powerdown is a slightly different process.  A powerdown (even from the GUI) will after a bit forcibly kill off processes that are tying up the system whereas stopping the array will not.

    Umm that's weird, I checked Open Files plugin and killed all processes before stopping the array on the first time.

     

  6. Shutdown from the UI worked, plugged the new disk and powered on the server, parity error because unclean shutdown message appeared as expected so I stopped the array and leave it on all night to give it time to stop correctly.

     

    This morning everything looked alright so I proceeded to start parity rebuild on the new drive with both Dockers and VMs turned off, After almost 10 hours (4TB Disk) finished to rebuild without errors and now I just reassigned the old parity drive to the array.

     

    To be honest there is drive on the array that is working but not 100% healthy, could be this the reason why it takes so long to stop the array and also the unclean shutdowns errors?

  7. Hi ppl!

     

    I've got a new bigger drive to replace parity so I proceeded to stop all containers and VMs and then stop the array before shutdown, now is been more than half an hour and the server is trying to stop the array, checking the logs I can see is this:

    Feb 18 14:27:28 Corellia root: umount: /mnt/disk1: target is busy.
    Feb 18 14:27:28 Corellia emhttpd: shcmd (3275): exit status: 32
    Feb 18 14:27:28 Corellia emhttpd: Retry unmounting disk share(s)...

     

    I don't want to force shutdown but don't know how much to wait neither.

     

    Note that my disks are pretty much full at this moment hence the party upgrade and reassign old parity disk to array.

  8. Hi!

     

    Have you checked you MB manual and how you should populate storage? in most cases internal SATA controllers are limited by the amount of NVME drives installed, for example my server's MB has 6x SATA III and 2x NVME/PCI, if i populate one NVME all of the SATA ports are available but, if two NVMEs are installed i'll have only 4x SATA ports available.

     

    Regarding your plan, it sounds good to me :)

  9. Hola @EUGENI_CAT la controladora venía ya flasheada, en otro post me dijo jorgeB que no estaba en la última versión y que puedo actualizarla, de momento no lo hice porque estoy probando funcionamiento y estabilidad.

     

    Si te soy sincero tuve algunos problemas al instalarla, ella funcionaba desde el día 1 y Unraid la detectaba junto con los discos conectados pero el server me daba problemas al iniciar, no tenia webui abri post y haciendo varios troubleshootings al final determiné que era el USB, restaure un backup en otro y me funciono bien pero por unas horas, así que no me quedó más remedio que flashear otro USB y contactar a Unraid para pedir que me dieran una nueva key ya que era un segundo cambio en una semana.

     

    Ahora mismo lleva casi una semana funcionando bien, todavía no lo he convertido al servidor definitivo pero creo que de esta si va a serlo, sigo haciendo pruebas agregando algún ssd más como cache pool y con VMs.

  10. Hi!

     

    After a few days fixing issues with my server it turns out i had to replace my flash drive for the second time in 2 weeks. Downloaded latest flash backup from MyServers and make the new boot drive, when i logged to server and change users pwd i proceed to fix error with key but every time i tried the pop-up windows is almost empty

    image.thumb.png.5f78ae70dea2fb145beea8aab0a9ff52.png

     

    Now i have this error key doesn't correspond to USB flash, tried uninstalling and installing myservers plugin, downloaded the key file and replace it manually but there is no way to fix it.

  11. Update

     

    Found Kingston DataTraveler SE9 (it's from work don't tell anyone ;-) ) and restored backup from MyServers to it, still plugged to USB 3.1 port because i've tried 2.0 but Unraid was unable to connect to network (169.254.x.x IP).

     

    System started correctly, ping response correctly, SSH access and most important webui IS WORKING :D :D !!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Now i'm facing some issues with my licence key activation, changed pwd to all accounts, activated flash backup but when i hit fix errors in Access Management the pop-up windows is almost empty showing only options for contact support or back to unraid, the same happens if i try to sign out from the webui.

    Try putting the network card in another slot...

    I assume you meant the controller card ;-), .... already tried that a few time but same result.

     

    MB BIOS is up to date but after checking broadcom's website it seems i can flash the controller to a newer version.

     

    In another thread i opened at the Storage Devices and Controllers @JorgeB advised me to temporarily disabling any vfio-pci bindings

  13. This flash drive i've made last week after another one failed and returns unable to write on it, we can say is a new one, it is true that when i plugged it to windows i get the message saying the drive have errors but it didn't happened before.

     

    Unraid it's booting from USB 3, i've tried USB 2 ports before when i did the restore last week but started without an IP address and if i go for the UI boot firefox returns unable to connect to local host.

     

    What i cannot understand is why the systems start normally if i take out the controller card.

    Try the following command:

     

    ls -al /boot

     

    You should get a listing of the files in the root of your flash/boot drive.  I suspect that you won't get anything except (perhaps) an error message.  I think your flash drive has gone 'missing'.   Make sure that it is plugged into a USB2 port as USB3 ports are known to be involved in boot drives going missing...

    ls /boot returns an empty directory

    When i start over the server  again and SSH it diagnostics directory created before is gone, i've created a new one and zip it to backup.tar.gz

    image.png.2bb47d430fad3b6c7713a579772c9803.png

     

    I've managed to copy diagnostics zip file to my local drive using pscp :D, i hope it helps.

    backup.tar.gz

     

  15. Sorry i forget to say although diagnostics are created from SSH session,

    after shutdown server and plug the flash drive in my laptop there is no zip file on it, the only thing i can see is a directory with that name after cd / and LS the root directory

    I've tried to copy the whole directory to my local machine with pscp but it seems i'm a bit lost finding the correct path

    Here is how it looks the flash drive on windows

  16. Hi ppl!

     

    After installing an Dell H200 controller i've lost access to the webui, BIOS and Unraid are detecting the card and the disks, ping reach server, i can log through SSH, shares are available from windows file explorer and even plex is working. I've tried connecting from different devices but same result.

     

    The server is running 1x baremetel Win 10 VM (is not starting automatically when boot with the controller), 8x dockers and the most common plugins 

     

    Syslog is mirrored to the flash drive and here are the results from last try.

    syslog

     

    PD: if i take the controller off the server starts normally

  17. Umm ok that will make VMs with passthrough unavailable and if it works like that i will have to make vfio bindings again.

     

    I'll give it a go and let you know.

     

    I have one question regarding the array, when Unraid detects the controller the only thing i have to do is plug my existing array disks to it and assign then again once i started the system? i assume a parity check will be need it though
