The Problem

-Two syslogs are attached. AfterBootup is from the initial usb stick, New is from a fresh one. I copied all the files from the old to my Windows laptop as a backup in case the old syslog has something of importance.

-I can't access the UnRaid gui at 192.168.1.100, //tower/, or the SMB share via a Macbook

-Gui page times out, Chrome says ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Finder doesn't show any connection activity.

-Problem started after attempting & successfully getting Xenserver running

-Problem exists whether UnRaid is a Xen VM or booted "bare metal" from the usb drive

-Problem existed on my old UnRaid usb drive and persisted after formatting/unzipping/make-bootable-ing it fresh

 

Steps Leading Up to the Problem

-Was working fine until I decided to try getting Xenserver up & running yesterday

-Followed this guide http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=30719.0

-Eventually got Xenserver running and was able to boot unraid & run commands from my Windows laptop (not the Tower machine)

-Tower machine had the local IP 192.168.1.100 and UnRaid had 192.168.1.124, verified by "ifconfig eth0" and info in my router's client table

-Like "The Problem" states, after this, I couldn't access the gui or the SMB share.

 

Attempted Solutions

-Reboots (virtual & physical)

-Booting Tower machine directly from usb rather than through Xenserver

-Backing up UnRaid usb drive, formatting, unzipping UnRaid v5.x, make-bootable.bat

 

System Specs

-Note that my Win8, Xen, and UnRaid are all on the same physical machine, I interrupt the boot process depending which one I need at the time.

Intel i7 3770 3.4 Ghz

Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H rev1.0

16 GB Patriot 1600 Mhz

Nvidia GeForce GTX 670

120 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD (Win8 OS)

250 GB WD Blue (Win8 Docs & Programs, temp)

1.5 TB WD Green (Win8 Docs & Programs, not currently installed)

250 GB WD Green (Xenserver) *

4 TB WD Green (UnRaid disk1)

4 TB WD Green (UnRaid disk2)

 

*note this drive is weird. 3-4 years ago I was trying to format the 250 GB WD Blue above for my old Xbox and selected this drive by mistake. It physically has 2 TB of storage, but the program I used really, really messed the drive up at a super low level, so it now only reports as 250 GB. No amount of wiping, partitioning, new volumes, etc has fixed it. The IT guy at my old internship was even stumped. Shouldn't matter here, but full disclosure I guess.

While I can't help with the gui issue, (I just posted a much less informative description of my issue so I'll definitely keep an eye here for answers) I think I have an idea what happened to your xbox drive. You probably used the 250GB security descriptor on the 2TB by mistake as you stated. Unless you backed up the original you would have to search the net for someone with the same model as you and use that one to get your space back on the 2TB. When I did my xbox I had a 160GB drive, but could only find a 120GB descriptor, so that was what I ended up with.

 

Sorry for going off topic. I can PM if this breaks any rules.

Well, I ended up getting my gui working. I manually edited the network.cfg file in the config folder on the flash drive, rebooted and it's been working since. This is my config.

Hope that helps.

I freakin hate technology sometimes. tl;dr it's working now.

 

I grabbed an old pc and boot from my current unraid drive. Started no problem and I could access the web gui. So, now it's either a problem with my original pc or some network-specific config.

 

The first thing I did was remove my original pc (referred to as Tower from here on out)'s DHCP reservation from my router, as I'd previously set it to 192.168.1.100. AFter forgetting to hit Apply and a few reboots later, Safari on my Macbook still wasn't loading the page. I decided to try Firefox, and what the f do you know, the UnRaid gui loads.

 

No idea why.

 

Since I'm booting a fresh UnRaid drive it shouldn't matter, but my next thing to try is booting to safe mode, which honestly should've been the first thing I did.

 

Also random tip, if your router has a usb port for networked storage and you're loading your UnRaid server from external usb hard drives, plug them into the router. Must faster transfer speeds than transferring over the network from another computer and uses less electricity (I assume).
