loady Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) My server wont shut down properly so i end up hard rebooting it which invokes a parity check , the parity check never finishes, it just seems to get stuck, last time it was up to 6000+ day ETA to finish, everything is functioning fine otherwise.

JorgeB Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Unraid driver crashed, if it happened multiple times look for a BIOS update, if that doesn't help recommend trying an earlier Unraid release. Quote Link to comment

loady Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 On 12/14/2022 at 11:19 AM, JorgeB said: Yep. BIOS updated but still the server is crashing, parity check starts but it gets to about 3.5GB then the ETA count just keeps rising, it wont stop if i try to cancel it and after a few hours i cant access the GUI, the server will not shutdown by power button either and i am forced to hard reboot it.

JorgeB Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Still crashing, try with v6.10.3 to see if it's kernel related. Quote Link to comment

Just looking at the options and the only previous version i am offered is 6.11.1, i am unsure of how to safely go about downgrading, i dont want to break anything, is it a straight forward process ?

JorgeB Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Download the zip from here then just unzip all the bz* files and changes.txt to the flash drive overwriting existing ones. Quote Link to comment

Ok, now the GUI doesnt load at all...seems like the server is not finishing booting, do i need to run the makebootable bat file again on the flash drive ? Quote Link to comment
loady Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 should all these files be on the flash drive ? Quote Link to comment

No assuming you've only copied the bz* files. 28 minutes ago, loady said: should all these files be on the flash drive ? Those suggest previous flash drive issues, better to format and recreate, backup before. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Was the flash drive re-formatted? Quote Link to comment

EDIT: i have just backed it up now as it is and will reformat it tthen put the back up on Edited December 20, 2022 by loady Quote Link to comment
loady Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Still the same, gets stuck at that checksum message... i am quite desperate to get this to a working state again, even crashing as i need to pull data from it Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Try a different flash drive with a stock Unraid install, no key needed, just to see if it boots. Quote Link to comment

loady Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 im pretty sure the original stick i had in is fine, i performed a low level check on it. The sever was booting fine albeit the unraid driver was crashing and stalling the server. Now i can get it to boot at all, keeps getting stuck at the checksum error on the original flash drive, now on three random generic drive flash drives the make bootable wont complete. just says.. Make Bootable v1.5 Volume in drive I is UNRAID Volume Serial Number is 3CE1-0D8E Ready to make disk bootable! Press any key to continue . . . I:\syslinux\syslinux.exe -maf I: Writing MBR: Access is denied. Did not successfully update the MBR; continuing... Completed Press any key to continue . . . I dont know why it says access denied, i have reformatted them numerous times. Even if i can get it back to a working state even when it was crashing i can go about what i need to do for now.

JorgeB Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Those are two different problems, for the checksum problem you can run memtest, bad RAM could cause that. Quote Link to comment
