Alexandro Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I was streaming a movie from the array when suddenly the movie stopped. Checked the web interface, all green, no errors in the syslog and decided that after 45 days uptime it is time for a reboot. 2 minutes after i discovered that Unraid is not online. Decided to attach a monitor to the server and see what is going on. "Boot error" was the message. Bios boot options- checked, everything seems to be as it should be. USB dongle scan didn't reported any issues in Windows7. When i tried to boot again, the same message appeared on the screen. What to do next? Quote Link to comment
Alexandro Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 The problem is solved. It was a USB drive issue. Inserted the flash to a windows machine and re-ran "make bootable" script. Unraid booted flawlessly this time. What might cause this problem? There are no additional software/plugins writing to the drive...Is it a signal for the coming death of the USB drive?

trurl Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Had you updated anything on the flash drive while unRAID was running? That's the way I usually do updates, then I reboot. If you updated syslinux then you would have to make_bootable again. Quote Link to comment
Alexandro Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Haven't installed whatsoever recently. All the plugins were installed a year and a half before. That's why I was curious what's happening. Quote Link to comment
