Hey all, 

Unraid 6.12.13 on a AMD Ryzen 7 1800X system with 64GB RAM.
 

For the last couple of months I have the issue where randomly (as it seems) the Unraid server shows having issues. 

The symptoms always seem to be the same, namely;
- SAMBA is inaccessible
- WebUI is inaccessible
- Reverse Proxy Docker SWAG is not able to connect to other Docker Containers.
- Docker Contains are still working and can be accessed via server-ip:port normally.
- Looks like it can be shut down via the power button (though no double beep conformation).
- I have to repair the boot USB drive in Windows before I can boot Unraid again.

I already swapped the USB drive thinking it was getting old, 'twas over 2 years old, but same issues keep happening.
I already tried different USB ports, before and after swapping out the USB drive.
I do not have the Unraid WebUI open in a tab in Chrome, I read somewhere that it the standby tab feature causes logs to overfill currently.

I eventually had a syslog server running on an old Synology NAS and attached part of it to this post. The start of the errors and then part of the errors that keep repeating a lot so I omitted those to keep the size small. It looks like the USB gets randomly disconnected due to something, and then the shit hits the pan.

The squashfs is the liveusb feature (the booted USB). It's having issues writing. Dumb question when you swapped drives, did your full USB get copied over or just the config folder? Slight chance a bad interaction and more likely the flash drive.

Flash drive issues:

If i remember correctly, I recovered from the USB backup I made before swapping drives, or I copied over everything. I did not only copy a config folder.
I do remember that at first boot, Unraid was seeing multiple keys that I had to remove first (like the trial key and normal key).

Yeah it looks like it, though I did not had logs back then with the other drive, the symptoms seemingly were/are the same as before the USB swap so I was thinking maybe else was the root cause. I'll see if I can find a drive somewhere I can use to test with (though I would have to transfer drive UUID again) if no other things appear to be apparent to cause a potential issue.

Remember if you swapped your USB in under 1 year you'll have to contact support for help with the key activation against the new GUID.

Ah yeah, thanks for the reminder. I did swap last month Oct 16 so yup would need to go through support.

Try first, you should still be able to do an auto transfer.
