muon Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I was trying to copy about 100 GB files into my server and the system crashed. So I had to reboot the server. And now I getting the following: "Tower login: smbd: no process killed" It seems that 100GB file-copying was too much for the server. I can not even log on to the server. Pressing "tab" or "del" key is not working either. Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment
trurl Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Sometimes things will continue to be output to the console after the login prompt, so it's not clear that Tower login: smbd: no process killedis a problem. What do you mean tab and del are not working? Are you trying to get into the BIOS menu with those keys or what? Or have you already booted into the unRAID console? Do any keys work? Link to comment
muon Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 When I boot the sever, I see the following: Press DEL to run Setup Press TAB to display BIOS POST Message Press [Tab] to edit options No response to any key pressed. And after I received "Tower login: smbd: no process killed", there is no response when I type something. How can I get out of this mess? Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 That last screenshot suggests you have got some sort of corruption on the USB stick. You should connect it a PC/Mac to try and correct this. Link to comment
muon Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I took the USB out but don't know how to correct this. Do you know of any link to learn how to do this? Thanks. Link to comment
trurl Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 You just need to run checkdisk on it in a Windows machine. If you plug it in it will probably offer to fix it for you. For Mac, I think you run Disk Utility on it. Link to comment
muon Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Thank you so much. It is working again. Link to comment
johnzimm Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Wow, after hours of fustration I came across your post... I had been seeing the windows computer try to fix a problem with the thumb drive but I kept ignoring (canceling) it because I was trying to figure out what I thought was a different problem... so now it works great, thanks thanks thanks.
