May 26, 20251 yr Hello, I've been on 7.1.2 for a few days now and randomly had my server become unresponsive. I couldn't ping it on local network, couldn't ssh, couldn't get the display connected to it to light up, couldn't access web gui or hosted containers. So, I did a hard restart by smothering the power button (didn't respond to just a click) and then booted into safe mode. It seemed fine in safe mode so I rebooted from there into the regular mode and immediately noticed some issues.my drives were no longer assigned, brief scare but I was able to put them back.My server name was re-named / reset to "Tower"Web Gui is very slow to load Is this just a symptom of a dirty shutdown? Is there anything in my diagnostic that looks damaged? Should I just rename my server back to what it was and carry on or should I restore from an unraid connect backup? I am using a Disk on Module instead of a flash drive for more robustness and it has been rock solid for a year or more with active cooling, so I don't think it's the usual failing usb disk. I think I'm just confused right now and looking for any pointers. Thanks for any insight you can provide. tower-diagnostics-20250526-1611.zip

Does it have a GUID?

Does it have a GUID?Thanks for the response. I am going to look into some way to test the disk on module. It does have a unique GUID and plugs into the USB header on my motherboard. Before I put it in Unraid, Windows saw it just like any other flash drive. Somewhere on the forums people were recommending it for reliability and durability. Flash back up on the way. Testing to come after. Thanks
June 3, 20251 yr Author Flash passed tests but still formatted and restored from a backup. Fingers crossed for smooth sailing. Thanks.
