Just upgraded to ESXi 5.5 and was using plop before with the USB unRAID device connected. Plopkexec appears to boot with the usb but later fails to find the usb and I get the "Waiting for /dev/disk/by-label/UNRAID" errors.

 

Thoughts here? 

 

 

That sounds as if you are not passing the unRAID USB stick through to the VM.   This is required for key authentication purposes.

Yes, I am passing it in as a USB Device. And the label is "UNRAID".

see this thread: https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/38925-esxi-usb-1-1-reset-high-speed-usb-device-number-2-using-ehci-pci/

i would suggest just upgrade your esxi to 6.5. i had this issue too, but after upgrading to some Esxi version(don't remember which, i'm currently on 6.5), this issue is gone for me.

I still getting the "Waiting for /dev/disk/by-label/UNRAID" every so often, occasionally it goes away with a reboot but comes back. Could my USB be on the verge of going?

What you did? upgraded Esxi? you can always try different USB with Trial key. as i tested these USB resets, one USB works just fine, another not. What make of USB key do you have?

Yeah that's what I did, requested a new license for an Adata usb, previous one was an older Toshiba data traveler, hopefully I'll have better luck.  I also upgraded my esxi box to 6.5, and still experienced this with the older key.

 

Thanks
