I'm not sure why this is happening and i've read through some of the other threads on this topic but I can't for the life of me figure it out, my system never used to do this but now whenever I restart OR shutdown my Unraid box, an auto parity check starts on the next restart.

I have included my logs from the last shutdown, 

 

please help.

Looks like the VMs are not suspending in time, you may need to adjust the shutdown timeout, currently set to 60 secs, assuming the VMs do suspend, instead of shutdown, stop the array, time how long it takes, set that value + 30 secs as the new timeout.

You may fond this section on troubleshooting unclean shutdowns useful from the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI or the DOCS link at the top of each forum page. The Unraid OS->Manual section in particular covers most features of the current Unraid release.

So It does indeed appear to be linked to the VM's not shutting down cleanly. I tested this by manually shutting down the VM's (which are both Windows 10 VM's; one that runs an Arma Reforger server and the other that runs an Arma 3 server).

 

I have changed the setting for the shutdown-timeout in Settings >> Disk Settings to 120 seconds but STILL every time I shutdown or restart the Unraid server, with the VM's active and running it causes a parity check on reboot, If I manually shutdown the VM's first the parity check NEVER gets triggered.

Did you do this????

Thanks I timed it and I had to set it to 150 seconds , it does seem like an awful long time though.
