typewriter Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 A shutdown messed up my Boot USB Stick and I have do redo it. The USB Creator Tool does not work for me. Download of Unraid takes forever and after finishing I get the message this USB device is not bootable. Is there any Link for a direct download of RC2 available? Quote Link to comment

ChatNoir Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Sorry, either I saved a broken link or there is an issue with Amazon. Quote Link to comment

mgutt Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Create through Rufus an UEFI bootable USB flash drive, then download Unraid from my German mirror and extract the files to it. Quote Link to comment

typewriter Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Partial success... I can boot again up to the login text. However, I can not access Unraid via the web gui and log in... Sigh... Searching the forum again... Quote Link to comment

typewriter Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Yes it shows: IPv4 address: 169.254.116.178 IPv6 address: not set thor login: Same IP address shows up in the router (Fritzbox). Quote Link to comment
mgutt Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 35 minutes ago, typewriter said: IPv4 address: 169.254.116.178 Looks wrong to me. Or does your router use the IP range 169.254.116.x If you search for "unraid 169" you will find several other threads: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/72789-solved-unraid-receiving-wrong-ip-assignment/ https://forums.unraid.net/topic/88234-unraid-682-boot-to-169xxx-after-update/ This happens because unraid is not able to reach the router to receive its DHCP IP address. This could be because: - Unraid was not able to install a proper driver for your NIC - you have a wrong network.cfg and network-rules.cfg on your USB flash drive (delete them, they will be recreated on reboot) - did you set a fixed IP in the past through the fritzbox webgui? If yes, delete this entry for your server. - check / replace cables If you still have no success, do this: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/77590-unraid-not-returning-ip-address-on-initial-boot/?tab=comments#comment-717177 Quote Link to comment
peterg23 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 169.254.x.x: This is what's called an Automatic Private IP address. An IP in this range means that the computer cannot see the network.👎 Quote Link to comment
typewriter Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 I solved it! Thanks for the directions! As I wrote I used the config from before - the server wasn't reachable anymore. After a "hard" restart booting Unraid did not work anymore and I "renewed" the unraid files on the USB stick and copied back the config and was getting this strange IP again and again. Well, I switched to the onboard NIC. And everything works again. It seems the 10gb Aquantia card stopped working - I don't know why it does not work anymore. It did before. It doesn't really matter. Since I will move the server to a new Supermicro Case (a dream by the way!) I will replace the card which resides in the PCI x16 slot with a proper LSI SAS/Sata controller which will replace the two Marvel adapters in 2 x1 slots. I will then stick with the onboard NIC or a new 2,5gb Realtek card I bought recently (not sure if unraid has drivers for this). Even with enterprise drives Unraid does not write faster than 80gb/s so a 1 gb card or a 2,5 are sufficient. Thanks for your guys great help - I was starting to get desperate at some point...

Asus caused problems for some people. 1 hour ago, typewriter said: Even with enterprise drives Unraid does not write faster than 80gb/s so a 1 gb card or a 2,5 are sufficient. It depends: A) Enable turbo write, but this needs all disks spinning while writing B) Enable SSD Cache C) Install a huge amount of RAM and raise the vm.dirty_ratio value (UPS recommened!) I'm using B and C. I use 50% of my 64GB RAM as write cache so I'm able to upload 25 - 30 GB of data with 10G speeds even if I directly upload to the HDD array. I'm using the QNAP QXG-10G1T (Aquantia as well) 1 hour ago, typewriter said: 2,5gb Realtek card I bought recently (not sure if unraid has drivers for this). The beta version includes them.

Don't know why it stopped working. Connections with the integrated NIC are better although it's only 1GB. I will look into your tipps regarding better write speeds. Quote Link to comment
