Hello,

today I noticed that my dockers were not operating. This led me to some troubleshooting. I noticed the followting things:

• My appdata-backup plugin hat a few error alerts in the notification centre (Failure to start some dockers back up)

  • the plugin is set up to stop, backup and update most of my dockers which has worked fine for close to a year now

• Dockers were displayed as running but were not accessible, some wouldn't start at all

Apart from that, everything else seemed fine. I decided to restart the system first. It wouldn't start back up. The error I got was: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0).

I assumed that the usb died. I downloaded a flash drive backup from unraid connect. The backup is from yesterday. I followed the docuementation and created a new stick with the downloaded zip-file and a USB-drive that meets the requirements. Now the server is starting back up and it's displaying the correct IP-Address for the web-ui on the screen. I can ping this address but the Web-UI is not reachable. Nothing else in my network has changed. My router, which also does DHCP detects the device and that it's online. I just get "connection refused" regardless of http or https.

I also tried safe mode. In safe mode with gui, I could not get to the webUI on localhost. Before, when I had the Kernel-problem, safe-mode did nothing as well. I attached an image from the kernel-error and a syslog-file that I created after switching to the new Flash drive.

I'm unsure how to proceed. Might just be a network config problem. All help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Try recreating the flash drive, first backup the current one, then recreate it using the USB tool, confirm the flash drive boots with the stock install, and if yes, restore only the /config folder from the backup overwriting any existing files.

This worked! There were some weired things going on with my HBA-Card but it's currently doing it's parity check and all dockers seem to be working fine.

Thank you!
