July 14, 20241 yr Here are some steps to ensure a clean shutdown in your Unraid setup and avoid issues with unclean shutdowns: Adjust the VM Shutdown Timeout in Settings -> VM Manager -> Advanced View to allow sufficient time for VMs, especially Windows 10 VMs undergoing updates, to shut down completely. Consider setting it to 300 seconds (5 minutes) to prevent forced shutdowns. Set the Shutdown Timeout in Settings -> Disk Settings to a value higher than the VM shutdown timer, such as 420 seconds (7 minutes). This allows ample time for all VMs, Dockers, and plugins to shut down properly. These timer adjustments do not extend the normal shutdown time but enable Unraid to perform a graceful shutdown and prevent unclean shutdowns. If you have terminal sessions open, Unraid will wait for them to terminate during shutdown. Consider using the Tips and Tweaks plugin to automatically terminate bash or ssh sessions, ensuring a smoother shutdown process. If your server appears unresponsive, try a quick press of the power button to initiate a graceful shutdown attempt. Avoid holding the power button, which can lead to an unclean shutdown. In case of an unclean shutdown due to exceeding the overall Shutdown Timeout, Unraid attempts to write diagnostics to /log/ on the flash drive. When seeking assistance, provide the /log/diagnostics.zip file for analysis, as it contains crucial information about the shutdown event.
