bakes82 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I upgraded to 6.4 and now my VMs wont start because the UI says array starting - starting services, it looks like the array is up since the dockers are running and I can access data. Server has been restarted 2x and online for 20min. Quote Link to comment

01111000 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I had the same issue. I tried rebooting but it did not work, so I ended up rebooting via IPMI. The next restart it was stuck on Mounting Drives. Still stuck trying to shut down. Quote Link to comment
bakes82 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Mine restarts fine. Quote Link to comment
bakes82 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Looks like 6.4 full of issues. Quote Link to comment
bakes82 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Any updates for this support? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Did you try booing in safe mode? Quote Link to comment
wmkuipers Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I have identical problems with similar diagnotics.zip No solutions though, I reverted back to 6.3.5 Quote Link to comment

ljm42 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'd boot in safe mode, see if the array comes fully up without any plugins. If it does, you can boot normally and start uninstalling plugins until you find the problem. There is a lot of chatter about preclear in the release thread, that's the first one I'd uninstall.

bakes82 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Safe mode w/not plugins doesnt fix the problem, still says stuck loading services. Quote Link to comment
ti6462 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'm having the same issue. Shares and dockers show up after the array is started, but VM's are inaccessible. The UI just says "services starting" Tried safe mode without plugins and disabling Docker but nothing worked. Reverted back to 6.3.5 for the time being. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 You should try booting using a different flash drive with a clean v6.4 install, just to confirm if the issue is related to v6.4 or some config or customization you're using. Quote Link to comment
bakes82 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Sounds like poor design to me, seeing as I run a pretty stock config as is. Where the official support for this? Quote Link to comment

My server is still stuck in "service starting". Quote Link to comment

Does anything happen / appear if you hit the log button? I did try that, nothing different happened. I was able to use the new terminal/console feature to view the syslog, but the "Log" display popup (from the nav bar) never loaded. Although i did find at one point i could view the syslog through the ui from the Tools -> Syslog page. Quote Link to comment

zleef Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Sure thing. I downloaded the diagnostics after initially running into issues. I believe this was prior to disabling docker or plugins though (this might have been on the second restart?). I didn't expect such a quick response, so i've already reverted back to 6.3.5. If you want me to try something or get a new log, I'm happy to go back to 6.4.0. tower-diagnostics-20180119-0957.zip Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 As far as I can tell, the array started up no problems. Your apps are running, FCP did its thing 10 minutes after start (and you manually hit it 5 minutes after start) Outside of suggesting the probably won't solve it, but why not you've got nothing to lose of clearing your browser cache, and/or a different browser I don't have much to suggest Quote Link to comment
zleef Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Thanks for taking a look. I re-installed and opened in private browsing as well as in a different browser. Still the same issue. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 If you're willing you could try redoing your flash to make sure it's not related to your config or any customization, which IMO it's highly likely. Backup the current flash drive, create a new install on it and copy just super.dat (disk assignments) and your key from the current flash, both on the config folder, if the array starts normally you can then start reconfiguring the rest one thing at a time.

Quick update - i followed @johnnie.black advice: I backed up the /boot drive, deleted everything from it, downloaded the latest unRAID server: https://lime-technology.com/download/, and then copied over my key and super.dat file from my backup (/boot/config/super.dat and /boot/config/Basic.key). Upon restart, the array started up successfully! However (obviously), now i have none of my dockers or other system configuration. I'll spend a little time seeing if i can add back config slowly enough to find the culprit. Quote Link to comment
ljm42 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Following a hint from @bakes82, I think I see the problem. Your /boot/config/domain.cfg file looks like this: SERVICE="enable" IMAGE_FILE="/mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img" IMAGE_SIZE="1" DEBUG="no" DOMAINDIR="/mnt/user/domains/" MEDIADIR="" VIRTIOISO="" BRNAME="virbr0" VMSTORAGEMODE="auto" Note that the MEDIADIR setting is empty. I just verified on my system that that is required for the array to start. Here is the default: MEDIADIR="/mnt/user/isos/" I'm not sure if VIRTIOISO is required, but here is what I have: VIRTIOISO="/mnt/user/isos/virtio-win-0.1.118-2.iso" Fingers crossed this does it! 1 Quote Link to comment
