Micaiah12 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hey all, my server has been super stable for some time now. However yesterday it was unresponsive and I wasn’t able to SSH into it or anything. I unfortunately had to do a hard reset and now when I boot up Unraid, I get this colored screen (the color changed based on the boot option I select). I’m unable to access the web console or SSH. I have ruled out memory as the memtest passed last night. My GPU is fine? Since the bios and memtest work just fine. So I’m not really sure when to to do here. Would love some advice though. Thanks!

JorgeB Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Try a different flash drive with a stock Unraid install, no key needed, to rule out a config issue. Quote Link to comment

This worked, I am able to boot it up and get the Unraid GUI. What should my next steps be? Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted June 30, 2023 Solution Share Posted June 30, 2023 Backup original flash drive, re-do it, restore from the backup only the bare minimum, like super.dat and pools folder for the assignments, the key and the docker user-templates, then confirm it still boots and if yes either reconfigure the server or restore the other config files one by one, or a few at a time, to see if you can find the problem.

Micaiah12 Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hey @JorgeB I performed those steps and was able to get things up and running. The array is starting now and It looks like all my shares and applications are coming back (I was able to move the entire config folder to the USB). When I created a new USB, I used the latest UNRAID version as well, so I am not sure if the new system files were the fix or if it was the upgraded version. 1 Quote Link to comment

My guess is that was the fact of rewriting the system (bz*) files. Seen in the past where simply rewriting these files have helped. It is as though somehow the previous copy written could not be read reliably and the new copy can - but no obvious reason why this should be the case. Quote Link to comment
Micaiah12 Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 Hey all, Just an update. My docker containers were all stopped and when I attempted to start it would throw an error 403. I grabbed the Diagnostics and rebooted, but now it's doing the same exact thing, posting to a colored screen and it's unavailable on the network. tower-diagnostics-20230710-1409.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 You can try the same thing as before. Quote Link to comment
