1st of all I'm a total newbie with unRaid but I have this issue where my usb key is disconnecting after a while.

 

I have a lexar usb3.0 key that I bought to install unraid on it. but after around 15 to 20 minutes the flash stops to be connected to the main board.

 

When this happens in the flash setting I see the following error:

 

Warning: file_get_contents(/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg)

 

And the docker tab is not populated with the templates list.

 

Is anybody have the same issues, is there a setting I can change to keep my usbkey connected ?

 

I tried connecting the usb3.0 key on a usb2 port to see if it would resolve the issue but no luck so far.

 

Thanks for your help

Not sure what the problem is, whether it is with the flash drive or the port, but what is really really odd is, why is anything trying to read syslinux.cfg well after the boot?  It's only needed right at boot time, unless you manually view or edit it on the flash drive menu.  Are you perhaps clicking on the flash drive on the Main screen, in order to test whether it is still connected?  If so, then that specific warning is a red herring., when the flash drive has been dropped.

 

BUT... I'm referring to the Main screen of v6, and this is the v5 support area.  Can you confirm what version of unRAID you are using?

 

Please provide a syslog -

  v5 - Capturing your syslog

  v6 - Need help? Read me first!

I'm using latest beta: 6.0-beta15.

 

Yes i'm clicking un the flash drive from the Main screen, and this is the error I get.

 

But what is the most weird part is the the docker menu is almost empty when this is happening, all my template list are gone.

 

If I remove the key and plug-in back then run "mount -a" in the terminal everything is back to normal.

 

Here is the syslog from the las time it happenet

Have you tried a different port?

Finally it was a faulty usb stick. I used another one and it's ok. By chance I did not registered it yet.

Sometimes my USB Flash drive also disconnects suddenly after a few months - the first sign is, that unMENU is somehow broken.

I was able to mount the Flash drive again, without rebooting:

 

sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdf1 /boot

 

sdf1 was in my case the flash drive, check it out first with "fdisk -l" !!!
