Hello everyone, 

Noob here. 

i have a problem with my server. after almost every restart or shutdown i get a prarity check due to unclear shutdown. 

I have no idea why this keeps happening, but it's driving me crazy. can anyone help?

I ahve attached the diagnostics file, if that could help. 

thank you.

How long does it take to stop the array?

i don't know. where can I check that? I had the timeout at around 3 minutes. personally, i think it takes less than 1 minute, but I might be wrong. 

I have now changed the setting to 7 minutes.

By pushing the button to stop the array and timing it.

did that. it takes aroung 50 seconds. so my 480 Shutdown time-out should be sufficient. 

yet I have a feeling unraid is ignoring this, as it was rebooted in less than 3 minutes

The timeouts will only come into affect if some part of the system does not close tidily in less time than the timeout value so your reboot time of 3 minutes probably just means the timeout never got triggered.

so then why does unraid keep saying unclean shutdown?:(

If for some reason Unraid can't write the "array stopped" status to flash then on next reboot it assumes the array was not stopped and you get unclean shutdown and parity check.

that might make some sense. 

I just got yesterday an error that the flash is read only. that might be the case that the flash was getting corrupted and I didn't realized that. 

 

funny enough today I am not getting that error anymore. but I will replace it tomorrow with a new one, just to eliminate this problem
