LoyalScotsman Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) old version 6.8.3 upgrading to 6.9.2 I made a backup of the flash before I pushed the upgrade so downloaded the upgrade from within the web GUI and started the install, then i stopped my array and rebooted unraid since doing this I can no longer ping the server. I connected a monitor to the server and i have went into gui mode in the server and it is not able to load the gui via localhost from here I then opened a terminal to look and see if the IP has been lost but when doing ifconfig eth0 it is displaying this error - "error fetching interface information: device not found" i am not 100% clued up in linux hence why i have got logs and reaching out here for assistance before i try anything else thanks in advance for your assistance if you need anything else please just ask, hopefully this is a easy fast fix. edit: also tried to ping the gateway from within the server terminal and it failed tower-diagnostics-20210413-1051.zip Edited April 13, 2021 by LoyalScotsman Quote Link to comment
LoyalScotsman Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) decided just to restore from a backup and all is running again So i shall have a look more into what could have caused the problem i suspect maybe a plugin i should have removed but didnt doing a parity check now so shall need to wait 10/12 hours for that to complete before i try again Edited April 13, 2021 by LoyalScotsman Quote Link to comment
ljm42 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Those diagnostics are from 6.8.3 so they don't show the problem. If you are willing to try again, I would set Settings -> Disk Settings -> Enable auto start to "No", that way if you have to turn the system off it will not force a parity check since the array won't be running. Once in 6.9.2, at a terminal window you can type "diagnostics" and that will put the diagnostics on your flash drive so you can attach it here. Also, try booting 6.9.2 in safe mode to rule out issues with plugins. Go ahead and get diagnostics in safe mode too. Quote Link to comment

ljm42 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Agreed, something about the upgrade is failing. These two diagnostics show the system is still booting in 6.8.3, but then it crashes. I'm guessing some of the files were not copied to the flash correctly. It may be that your flash drive is failing. Quote Link to comment
