Unclean Shutdown detected | Need someone to make sense of my log

[DesertCookie]

I've been having the issue of Unraid starting a parity sync every time I restart my server - which I had to do multiple times lately because my USB acted up.

 

I've read through this post on the topic but it didn't help me out very much. Could someone point me to the place in my log that tells me what exactly is going wrong so I can learn how to read the log and troubleshoot on my own in the future, please?

 

My config:

• TR 1900X
• MSI X99 Taichi
• 2x 16GB DDR4-3200 ECC
• 1TB WD Blue NVMe SSD (cache)
• 256GB WD Black NVMe SSD (cache 2)
• 2x 12TB WD White (parity, array)
• 2x 4TB WD Se (array, array)
• 1TB Seagate (unassigned devices - location of games for VM)
• 32GB Samsung flash drive

What you really need to do is enable the mirror to flash of the syslog, then shutdown.  After that, then post the resulting file from the flash drive.  https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Troubleshooting#Persistent_Logs_.28Syslog_server.29

Here it is. Thanks for pointing that option out to me.

You have connection problems with chiacache. Check connections, both ends, SATA and power, including splitters. Replace cable if necessary.

 

Unclean shutdowns happen when Unraid can't write the array stopped status to flash. This can be because shutdown happens too soon, or because flash can't be written.

I'll try to remove the drive. It's an M.2 NVMe SSD.

 

This can't be the only reason though as this has been happening far longer than the drive is installed.

Doubt it has anything to do with unclean shutdowns. Just thought you should know about it.

As far as I can tell Unraid can write to the thumb drive. What permissions should all of the folders have by default? Maybe some folders work while others don't and I keep testing the wrong ones.
