First, I would try and post diags, but they all came back 0 length files when run from command line.

GUI is completely toast. Restarted nginx and solved nothing. Get login screen but once logging in web page spits back a 500 error.

Want to try and gracefully shutdown the array but have seen the command for Unraid 7 is different from Unraid 6? Haven't found anything definitive yet, can someone confirm best way to shutdown the array via command line? Is it still powerdown?

And how do I check is the array actually shutdown?

Thanks!

For an update, I happen to get home and refresh the web gui and the main screen flashes constantly and was able to try and stop the array, but eventually it comes back and says Array Undefined. Any idea what this means?

Try rebooting.

I was hoping to shut down the array before doing that so didn't have to rebuild parity.

I had tried a command line I found /usr/local/sbin/emcmd cmdStop=stop and that just hung.

I then tried powerdown but Unraid said that was deprecated.

Was going to try shutdown but when I wen to try that, I could SSH in to the box anymore. It apparently had stopped the array and powered off. No clue what command did it.

Powered it back on and all is right with the world again.

Really weird.

For future reference, does the shutdown command truly cleanly stop the array and shut down the box or is there something else that has to be done prior to a reboot/shutdown to protect the array?

Thanks!

Yes, same for reboot.

Stop the array manually.

IF the array won't stop manually, then the shutdown commands will force a shutdown after waiting for a preset time (Thinking of pulling the power plug) and that results in an unclean shutdown every time.

That predetermined time is set here:

No gui accessible, so was looking for the command line options.

THANKS!!!!!

If you have physical access to the server, a quick push of the power button will start a clean shutdown. A long push (> 5 seconds) of the power button will force a shutdown. A reboot is 'short version' of a clean powerdown with a restart which saves you the necessity of push the power button to start the server. Reboot is intended when a total restart of the server is needed but server access is remote from the current console. (Basically if you watch and listen during a reboot, you will hear the power-off of the power supply before the auto-restart.)
