I've been running Unraid 4.7 with mysql on my first server for about 2 weeks (1 week with mysql installed). Server has 2 x data disks (no parity disk yet).

 

I have been using the powerdown script to shut down the server (which has been working perfectly).

 

However today I needed to stop the array to make some changes .When I click stop in the control panel, disk 2 will unmount, but disk 1 will hang on unmounting and the server locks up. I have to run the powerdown script from the command line and shut the server down.

 

I did some searching and discovered that something is obviously running on disk 1 and preventing it from unmounting.

 

I found some instructions to identify the offending process:

 

/usr/bin/fuser -mv /mnt/disk* /mnt/user/*

 

The result:

 

             USER    PID          ACCESS        COMMAND
/mnt/disk1: root     1844         F.c..         mysqld

 

So ...Mysql is stopping disk 1 from being unmounted.

 

So I found this to stop mysql running:

 

killall mysqld

 

I ran it and it then I re-ran:

 

/usr/bin/fuser -mv /mnt/disk* /mnt/user/*

 

and it simply returned me to the prompt, so I assumed this meant nothing was running.

 

I went to the control panel and clicked stop, this time expecting the array to stop, but again it hung on unmounting disk 1, exactly as before.

 

So now I do not know how to proceed.

 

Here is the tail end of the log file where it hung:

Can someone give me a hand with where to go from here.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fixed it myself.

 

It turned out to be the swapfile that I had forgotten I had setup that was still active and stopping the drive from unmounting.

 

Unmenu > User Scripts > Disable Swapfile, and the disk could unmount normally.
