Hey all,

 

I'm having a problem, I'm using a 2 port USB/KVM with my unraid box. If I load my box like normal, w/o the KVM I have 0 problems at all. But if I plug in the USB cable from the KVM to any USB slot my unraid freezes at

 

Mounting local non-root filesystem

/dev/sde1 on /boot ...........

 

It just sits there infinitly. If I unplug the KVM then reboot the box, no problems at all. Can anyone help?

And on a site note, I still have the following from way back in the day, in my config/go file

 

#!/bin/bash

# Start the Management Utility

/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

sleep 30

for i in /dev/md*

do

    blockdev --setra 2048 $i

done

 

is this still good for adding speed, or should I removed it?

It will still work, although the current versions of unRAID have a buffer size of 1024, so the effect might not be as noticeable as when it used to be 256.

The only things I can think of are the obvious, make sure it works with other computers, and try different USB ports.  Otherwise, don't use it!

Rob: I've tested every component seperately, the KVM works with 2 windows boxes, and the monitor portion works if I don't plug in the usb cable to the unraid box. I've tested every port and multi cables, same Issue. It seems that something is wrong with mounting /dev/sde1 (maybe when the KVM with a G15 plugged into it, it changes the ID of the flash drive?)

 

Any other ideas, or something I can check?

Post a syslog, perhaps it will contain a clue.

 

Type

ls -l /dev/disk/by-label

 

You should see the flash drive with the UNRAID label.

 

Other than that, you can try putting a USB HUB in between the keyboard and the server (for isolation)...

Joe:

 

Here is the problem it just hangs, so I can't get in to get a syslog. If you think it will help I can unplug the keyboard, boot normally, ssh in and toss you a syslog. But I'm not sure how much help that would be.

 

As for the Keyboard, its plugged into the KVM, which in essence is a hub, I'll try putting an actual hub inbetween the KVM and unraid, and see if that helps.
