It took me awhile to chase down the fact that Unraid was blacklisting my main mobo NIC during bootup. Any time I reboot, it still blacklists. Once I finally got it booted with a routing table, I had hoped to launch the array and immediately update plugins or anything I could do to stop the blacklisting. I don't currently see my particular realtek in the driver updates, but I'm sure we'll get there.

However, once I finally could connect, one of my nvmes in my pool wouldn't show up.  I took the machine down, disassembled, reseated the M.2, and now it shows up as part of the pool - the way it always has been, and looks ready to boot. I cannot figure out if I need to fix the BTRFS pool or not, but it doesn't seem to matter - because you can't do much with BTRFS fixes if your not mounted...

I'll attach a new diag and 2 pix that show the error message of the pool and the drives. This has taken me 12 hours so far of a constant death loop of trying to boot, having to pull the flash, delete the modprobe blacklist, hope it launches with an ip address, log in and have the array not start for lack of cache. It's gotten beyond frustrating.
