tone Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hi all, TLDR: Unraid indefinitely hangs or is stuck during the boot process at this command: I have been plagued with this issue for a while now but finally it boiled over since I cannot successfully boot unraid anymore. It has been days without being able to use my server and I am very frustrated. If you search for this it really does seem like there are many people with the same issue. @limetech is this a larger problem worth investigating? Here is a list of related posts I have found: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/50963-solved-unraid-refuses-to-boot/ https://forums.unraid.net/topic/72755-hang-on-reboot-fine-on-cold-boot/ https://forums.unraid.net/topic/114019-unraid-startup-wont-complete/ https://forums.unraid.net/topic/59506-server-wont-boot-stuck-at-syslogd/ https://forums.unraid.net/topic/88212-boot-stops-in-syslog-on-second-boot-asus-rs720/ Here are a list of things I tried: Put your flash drive in your PC and let it checkdisk (chkdsk [drive] /f /r /x) Plugging flash into PC, make backup of your 'config' folder. Then reformat the usb flash - volume label UNRAID - then copy over release from zip file. Click 'make_bootable' as administrator (don't forget this step), then drag your 'config' file backup to the flash I am pretty desperate at this point and would love any help. Thank you!

tone Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 Like every morning for the past week. Before I take the dog out I turn on the server and cross my fingers. This morning the server successfully booted up! No changes since last time. Is there something I can enable or do to add extra logging or verbose debug statements during future boot ups? This is still a serious problem. Thanks Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 If it is currently running, you should post your diagnostics, they will give us a more complete idea of your hardware and configuration. Quote Link to comment

Squid Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 See if it makes any difference between having rclone installed or not. Quote Link to comment
tone Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 Following up here. I uninstalled rclone and did a full shutdown (not reboot). One thing to note is that I stopped the array before clicking shutdown to make sure containers had been stopped. That shutdown/restart worked flawlessly, first time in over a year! I will keep playing with it this weekend and try to see if I can reproduce it: - reboot vs shutdown - stopping array before shutdown vs not - having rclone installed vs not Quote Link to comment
