Ok i did search, but i dont know what to look for on this.  server has been fine for years..but now: I cant access the webpage or the server files, and I can't shut it down.

 

What I've tried...

1) I can ping the IP of the server, however, i can't access webpage...could access shares at first, but not now.

2) tried pressing powerbutton( I believe i have the power down script installed on unread 4.7.?...  so this usually inities a safe shutdown with audible beeps and drive activity.  Now, though, I get no indication that i even pressed the button.

3) tried telnetting to the unraid box and logging in to root. CD /boot, then I type powerdown or powerdown.sh.  Telnet session hangs, but I can open more telnet sessions. Also tried cd /boot, and ls or dir, which both also hangs the telnet session.  I'm a linux noob, but this seems bad to me.

4) unplugging and replugging the network cable gets me a low beep, and a high beep, so the DHCP etc is working normally.but still no webpage or shares.

5) I have not seen the flash drive led blink, so I'm suspecting its died.

 

Can I hot unplug/replug the flash drive?  or am I better off just hard power cycling?  or there a third approach that would be safer?

 

Thanks in advance ,

Don

from what you've described, I think your only choice is to power cycle.

Everything working fine after power cycle and parity check.  Thanks for the help, Joe.
