August 17, 2025Aug 17 I've been having issues with my unraid server not shutting down or rebooting when given the command. I've used the buttons on the dashboard, the buttons at the bottom of the Main page, and terminal commands. I've also tried short-pressing the power button, and while it says it is shutting down, it never does. The only way I can get a clean shutdown/reboot is to manually disable Docker and stop the array. This is a new issue, and it has shutdown fine for me in the past. Something is obviously hanging, but I can't figure out what it is. If I'm looking at the Web GUI, it will say Array Stopped Syncing Filesystems, but I've waited 30+ minutes and it never completes. I have to force power off, which is giving me unclean shutdowns.Things that have changed recently: I've setup FileFlows to process video files, and it's setup to send/receive files from the server to the nodes. I've tried stopping the FileFlows docker before shutting down, but that doesn't change anything. Could the file transfers be causing the shutdown to hang? Is there a script I can run to make sure everything is stopped at shutdown?I've also installed a 10G SFP+ network card, but this was happening before that was added.I've attached my diagnostics file. Can you take a look and see if there are any obvious issues that could be causing this problem? Thanks. tower-diagnostics-20250817-1520.zip
