December 1, 201510 yr I have no idea what I am doing wrong! I've just built my server and have started the unRaid process following this tutorial: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Configuration_Tutorial#Introduction Everything is working as planned until I need to connect to the server from another PC on the network. No matter what I try, I cannot get a browser to display the utility. I am able to ping the server fine via IP or Tower hostname. I can SSH into the server and ping my desktop PC no problem. I have tried giving it a static IP. I have tried modifying my desktop's host file. Nothing works. I am trying this on a new network using an Edgerouter X, but so far I have had no problems doing anything else on it, just wanted to put that out there in case there is something basic I'm missing. Any ideas?

December 1, 201510 yr Author Type diagnostics at the command line, then shut down and put your flash in your PC and find the diagnostics zip file on it and attach to your next post. So, I did that on the machine and moved the thumb drive to my PC but there is no zip file. I also tried via SSH from the desktop, still no zip file. this is the message I get: root@Tower:~# diagnostics Starting diagnostics collection... done. ZIP file '/boot/logs/tower-diagnostics-20151130-1519.zip' created. That folder does not exist on the thumb
December 1, 201510 yr Author Did you reformat the flash drive as FAT32 before you copied the unraid files? I have two options for formatting that I could find. exFAT and NTFS. When I tried exFAT, I would get an error during the make_bootable.bat. When I chose NTFS, it worked and I was able to get this far. Is that the problem all along? Where do I find FAT32 on Windows 10? Sorry, I'm a noob having recently switched from OSX.
December 1, 201510 yr Author WOW, so I should have googled harder. Downloaded a FAT32 formatter app, retried the whole process and now it works! Thank you both for the assist!

Without a 3rd party app, windows can't format a stick larger than 32Gig as FAT Good to know, thanks! After this thing is installed and working, will I still need this thumb drive in there at all times, or will I be booting directly into unRaid?

December 1, 201510 yr unRAID actually boots and runs from that USB thumb drive. Thats the beauty of it. Disks can be used for all data.
December 1, 201510 yr unRAID actually boots and runs from that USB thumb drive. Thats the beauty of it. Disks can be used for all data. When unRAID boots, it unpacks the OS from the flash drive into RAM. Other than reading / writing webUI settings to that flash drive, it actually runs from RAM. All the usual Linux folders which you can see from the command line or MC are really in RAM. Only /boot (flash) and /mnt (disks) are not in RAM.
December 2, 201510 yr Author unRAID actually boots and runs from that USB thumb drive. Thats the beauty of it. Disks can be used for all data. Got it. So in other words, stop using this 128GB thumb drive and switch to a 8GB...

So in other words, stop using this 128GB thumb drive and switch to a 8GB... Using a large thumb drive is a waste - even 8GB is more than you really need. I have been running unRAID off a 2GB drive and never run out of space.
