Title says it all.

 

* I start Unraid with an USB enclosure attached. It does not boot up

 

* I start Unraid without the enclosure, but attach it after the boot is completed. All works well

 

Attached diagnostic log. Thanks!

I can’t see your diagnostics as I am on mobile but what UnRAID license type do you have and how many drives are in the usb enclosure?

Drives attached to server at boot count against license limitations. Drives attached after boot do not. If the attached usb drive(s) put it over the license limit, it won’t boot.

Thanks. There are 5 disks in the enclosure and I have the "maximum" license. So, this shouldn't be the issue.

Are you saying that it won't actually boot?

 

In this case it's configuration within your BIOS on boot settings / whatnot. 

 

FWIW, my test server (p.o.s. dell laptop) will not boot with 2 attached USB flash drives -> beeps like crazy.  As soon as the Unraid splash screen appears I plug back in the second flash drive

Right.  That probably should not prevent booting completely anyway.  It likely has more of an affect on the array starting as opposed to not being able to boot.  I've never hit the limit myself and was just spitballing.

I connected the server to a screen and found out it was GPT header corruption. Eventually got it somehow fixed in the Bios. All good again now.

 

Thanks for your help!
