Hello,

 

I've just upgraded from 6.9.2 to 6.11.0 yesterday, and am seeing the banner:

`Your flash drive is corrupted or offline. Post your diagnostics in the forum for help.`

 

Not sure what's wrong, as I'm still able to fully access the USB, and have performed several reboots, and comes up just fine.

 

I've attached diagnostics to this post. Appreciate any help on this.

Some things missing in those diagnostics, in particular syslog. Try to get them again

Here you go.

Still didn't work. Go to Tools - System Log, click Download button at bottom and post that zip

@trurl- Shows blank there too. Even `/var/log/syslog` is blank with a last update in 2021:

I just attempted to re-install unraid on the same flash drive, and copy over the `config` directory, but still getting the same error. Syslog is still blank too.

Copy the syslog to a share you can access over the network then attach it here, e.g.:

cp /var/log/syslog /mnt/user/share_name/syslog.txt

 

@JorgeB Thanks for the suggestion, although I'm not sure what that'll show. It's a 0 byte file in /var/log/ (see above screenshot). I'm the root user, so I can access it, but did copy it to a share I have access to, and it's still empty/0 bytes:

 

Reboot and get diags/syslog right after array start to see if there's any difference.

Does a scan with Fix Common Problems tell you anything?

@JorgeB - Rebooted, and diag attached, but syslog still empty.

 

@Squid - There were just some disk mounted (not as slave) warnings, and some folders on cache disk but not configured to use cache. No errors.

 

I attempted to issue a command via CLI: logger "test", but nothing shows in syslog either. Not sure what else it could be. I can manually edit syslog (as root), so it's writable...

Permissions are:

-rw-r--r--  1 root   root

Does that seem correct?

 

I did end up removing two plugins because Common Problems told me it didn't know the publisher. I've now rebooted, and it's been ~12 minutes... no error about corrupted drive.

🤞 that was it.

Still not right.

 

Put flash in PC, copy config folder. Recreate flash, copy config folder back. Reboot in SAFE mode and post new diagnostics

Hmm, seems my rsyslog.conf was completely empty. Not sure why. It was even empty on my /boot/config volume too, so moved those to *.bak, and updated /etc/rsyslog.conf, restarted the service, now I have a syslog.

 

Hopefully the random rsyslog.conf I found in the forums from 2015 is still up-to-date...Anyone care to share their latest so I can compare?
