As the old saying goes, "No good deed goes unpunished." After running Unraid plus successfully for many months, but not connected to my UPS, I decided to install APCuspd and connect my server to the UPS.  After cleanly powering the array down and then restarting, I noticed that I was having trouble with Unmenu.  I could open the first level page (Main) but not lower level pages.  I telneted into the server with the intention of re-installing Unmenu but got an "Input Output error 5" when trying to access the directory.  I then tried to access the flash drive from my windows pc and while I can see it as a network drive, it's contents are empty.

 

OK, I powered down the array and inserted the flash drive into my windows PC.  It was readable, all the files seemed there so I did a file check.  It did discover a corrupt file (s?) saving  the "chunks."  Before restarting the array, I decided to update from 4.6 to 4.7 by copying the new bzimage and bzroot files.  The array started and initially I could use all levels of Unmenu and access the flash drive.  After some time though, the same problems arose.  I'm letting the array do a parity check before shutting down once again.  I'm thinking of starting from scratch by reformatting the flash and then retarting the array.  I've printed out the disk assignments so I can trust parity once the array is on line.

 

Other than the above problems, the array seems fine, all my shares are accessible and I can telnet in an log into the main web page.  In any event, my array is now protected by my UPS.

 

I wonder if anyone else has any suggestions or am I missing something?

It sounds as if your flash drive had some corruption and that might have been fixed. 

You might first start with a memory test.
