Missing USB BlueRay Drive


Recommended Posts

I have an internal slim blue ray drive plugged into a USB3 header on my mainboard... Along with the Unraid Boot Disk drive.

 

The system has booted successfully for years and continues to do so.

 

However, I have had a terrible time getting the optical drive to be recognized by Unraid... Doesn't show up in /Dev/ at all...

 

Today I was making some other changes, and having needed and not been able to use the optical drive the other day, I thought I would investigate a little... I pulled it and its adapter out of the server and plugged them into my laptop... The worked fine. I then plugged it back into my server in a different port and found it showing up in System devices and the /Dev/ folder.

 

Plugged it into the header it was always plugged into and it continued to work.

 

Rebooted the server and:

 

NO OPTICAL DRIVE

 

Unplugged it and plugged it back in and it came back...

 

Any Ideas?

 

Is there a command to reset the USB header after the system has booted so I don't have to open the case up and hot plug it if I have to reboot?

 

The attached diagnostic should show it booting up and then coming online when I replug it
