I am running 4.2.4 on the original Intel D865GLCLK motherboard running all SATA drives.  I shutdown my server to add another hard disk and when I powered back on the system would not come up normally.  I was unable to connect to the html configuration page or telnet into it.  I tried to save a copy of the system log from the console, but it would not save the log to the flash drive.  In poking through the system log I found the following:

 

mount: special device /dev/disk/by-label/UNRAID does not exist

 

I have 3.0 on my other flash and the system came up just fine when I tried booting with it, but my Supermicro SATA controller does not seem to be supported. I tried to poke through the bios to see if anything seemed amiss, but I saw nothing. I'd appreciate any advice on how to proceed.

 

Thanks,

 

Scott

 

My first thought is a power issue, you may have hit your ceiling on that PSU.  Easy enough to test, just disconnect the drive you just added and try again.  Another possibility is that whenever you install a drive, there's a decent chance you partially dislodged some other cable, especially true if you have non-locking SATA cables.  Easy enough to check too.

 

That mount message usually means it could no longer find the flash drive, and that blocks the networking setup.

Rob,

 

I got it to work by downgrading the speed of the USB connection.  Why that worked now, I don't know, but in looking closely at the system log it threw up an error of not being able to access the USB port that the flash drive was plugged into.  I was thinking I was going to have to get a new motherboard.

 

Thanks for the inspiration,

Maybe thus USB stick itself is going bad.

That could certainly be it, both my flash drives had the same issue.
