Harlequin42 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 yeah i have backups of the flash drive and the appdata folder. I am not worried about that, but the actual state about not working properly is frustrating to wait for it to fail... As i am writing here it stopped again, now i will check the flash drive.

Harlequin42 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) That's a bit strange. Sry, it is a german windows OS. The first message in windows told me there is something wrong, if i want to check and repair it. Possible cause: "The device was ejected before all files were written." But i skipped this and made a chkdsk (see below) But chkdsk /r found no errors: C:\windows\system32>chkdsk D: /r Der Typ des Dateisystems ist FAT32. Volume UNRAID erstellt 15.10.2019 16:09 Volumeseriennummer : 62AA-5009 Dateien und Ordner werden überprüft... Die Datei- und Ordnerüberprüfung ist abgeschlossen.

It's now starting again, now i will wait if there will be any error again. Maybe switch the usb port. I am happy for suggestions how i could check it instead of waiting for it to fail Edited April 12, 2021 by Harlequin42 Quote Link to comment

I went back to the USB 3.1 Gen 1 port i used before, but server froze again over night. Now i switched to a different USB 3.1 Gen 1 port. Do you know why i should use USB2 port? Is it personal experiance or somehow tested? I will try the USB2 again, when it fails again. Update: After 20mins the system ran into a kernel panic. Now i switched to USB2 port.

itimpi Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 4 hours ago, Harlequin42 said: Do you know why i should use USB2 port? Is it personal experiance or somehow tested Experience of many users has been that USB2 has proved far more reliable for booting and running unRaid. Why is not clear as there is no theoretical reason why later versions of USB should not work. It could be that BIOS’s are better at handling USB2 or simply that USB2 is less demanding on the hardware. Since there is no significant performance advantage to using USB3 (as the flash drive is rarely accessed after initial boot) we always recommend using USB2 if you can. Quote Link to comment
Harlequin42 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) It's now running since 22 hours. If really the USB3.1 was the issue i don't know why it worked the years before, maybe something with the new BIOS. It's now in a USB2 port. I made an memtest just to be sure, but the test passed succesfully. I am back to the previous Mainboard firmware and made some changes to the ram. I used D.O.C.P. before and it worked fine, now i disabled it and set the speed to 2666 just to be safe. for everyone who wants to know what i have done since the beginning: - checked the flash drive with "chkdsk /r" on a windows device - copied the backup of the flash drive over the drive again - put the flash drive into different USB ports, in the end in an USB2 port - went back to the previous BIOS version and chenged the ram settings after testing it As mentioned erlier it is now running and i hope it is done. It is now running since 12+ days and i am happy that it didn't appear again. Edited May 3, 2021 by Harlequin42 Update Quote Link to comment
