November 7, 200817 yr Hi I can't get my new unraid server up and running, it boots OK and I can get into the ROOT menu, but I can't login from another PC. The disk label is named UNRAID but it doesn't seem that i mounts the disk it says : mount: special /dev/disk/by-label/UNRAID does not exist. when I write ls -lR /root it says: /root: total 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 80 Nov 7 16:26 mdcmd* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 18 Nov 16:26 samba -> /etc/rc.d/rc.samba* does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong Best Regards
November 7, 200817 yr See this thread... http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2519.msg19931#msg19931 The USB flash drive MUST be mounted at /boot for unRAID to find its configuration files. If it is not mounted, nothing will work for the unRAID software... To identify the USB flash drive, unRAID looks in the /dev/disk/by-label directory to find it. Since it did not find it, it did not mount it, and your unRAID server is not running the emhttp process that serves up web-pages because the "config" folder with the "go" script that would start it is not there.. (the disk with the UNRAID label was not there in your listing of /dev/disk/by-label, resulting in this whole problem.) You might need to use a different USB drive, or use different USB BIOS options to get it recognized, or format it differently to get partition on it recognized. (HP formatting tool usually does it... details in wiki here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=USB_Flash_Drive_Preparation) Joe L.
November 7, 200817 yr You might want to make sure the USB volume label is UNRAID (6 characters, no leading or trailing spaces, all upper-case) Type ls -l /dev/disk/by-label It should list the flash drive. If not, you will not get anywhere until it does. If your flash drive has U3 software, it will need to be removed.... most of this is described in the other post and in the wiki. Joe L.

November 8, 200817 yr Something strange happened to my server today. Can someone tell me more what might've been the cause? I's now obvious for me. My Seagate 1.5Tb is all dead
November 9, 200817 yr That's MHDD. http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/ It runs from a DOS boot floppy or CD, like HDD Regenerator. My keep it on my standard disk diagnostics boot CD... useful for diagnosing dead/dying hard drives, and for checking used ones. The pattern you see there is normal... seek times moving from cylinder to cylinder, are much larger than from head to head (<3ms compared to <10ms).
