October 19, 20214 yr Hello all, At 0800 I got the following email from myself, as follows: Quote cron for user root /sbin/fstrim -a -v | logger &> /dev/null fstrim: /boot: the discard operation is not supported When I went to check my server, every menu is blank. There is a warning about my license key missing. All shares are accessible and up. Plex via a docker is working OK. I can get in via SSH. I have re-seated the USB key, but have taken no other actions yet - I have not rebooted - for fear of making it worse. What should I do next? I'm not sure how to get diagnostics: root@Min:~# diagnostics Starting diagnostics collection... mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/boot/logs’: Input/output error done. ZIP file '/boot/logs/min-diagnostics-20211019-1130.zip' created. I don't have flash exported, so I have no way - that I know of? - to get to that path. Thank you!

Use a USB2 port if at all possible. If this continues, either replace the flash or try the Flash Remount plugin.

October 19, 20214 yr Author Ok, mostly good news, some minor bad news: Before I rebooted I tried copying the syslog to disk1. It did so, but it doesn't seem to be useful: whatever broke seems to have broken prior to when the log went sideways, but attaching what I have anyway. The other minor issue: I rebooted dirty. I thought "poweroff" was safe from googling, but that clearly is not correct, as it's doing a parity check (Powerdown didn't seem to do anything). Is there a command I could be using in the future? Thank you again for the swift assistance, I really appreciate it! syslog.zip
October 19, 20214 yr powerdown is safe. But the reason why the system thinks it's an unclean shutdown is due to the flash drop, the OS was unable to write the flag that signified it was a clean shutdown. You can safely cancel.
