What I did:

Precleared an old drive.

Stopped the array.

Added the drive.

Started the array.

Checked the format box and pressed the format button.

No more GUI

It looks like after starting the array with the newly assigned drive the emhttp "hook up".

 

 

Attache the entire syslog.

Thx for looking into this.

See here...

The posted syslog ends on Dec 2 and has no indication of an error. The fragment above is dated Dec 3. A current syslog is required.

Argh...

The fragment I posted was cut out while the server was still running via the unMENU GUI.

When I "powerdown"ed the server and it failed to shut down it obviously didn't save the syslog.

 

I should have copied the syslog when I logged in to powerdown but I knew that the powerdown script saves the log.

Did not expect that script to hang up also.

 

Have to remove the syslog in the other post...

 

 

An add-on is most likely causing the problem. The github GUI is not stable and should be removed.
