Virtual Floppy/HDisk as sdb/sdc/sde in unRAID

[dnLL]

Hi, I have the latest version of unRAID, everything is going pretty fine except I discovered some weird issue after rebooting today:

 

 

It doesn't have any real impact on the server currently but I'm not a big fan of having my HDDs go from sde to sdh when it should be sdb to sde. Why do I have virtual stuff showing up there?

 

I currently have a total of 7 VMs, I checked the XMLs of them all and didn't find any mention of any floppy disk (and I'm not sure why 2 virtual HDisk would show and not 7 for example). Any help would be appreciated.

I didn't even know that was a thing. Sorry about that, here you go.

I rebooted and it's fixed. Didn't change anything. It's the second time it happens, last time it was fixed after a reboot too. Any idea what could cause that, especially since it's sporadic?

Possibly IPMI virtual devices, or some other USB virtual devices, e.g., some flash drives have a virtual CD/DVD partition.

I didn't change anything physical that's for sure, so it's within the virtual configuration somewhere, but I don't understand why it happens randomly after some reboot only.

Aight I have some more information about the issue now: it only happens when I reboot the server without fully stopping all the VMs and the array first. I have to extend the timeout before the reboot is forced to 5 mins (haven't done it yet). If I correctly stop the array first, I don't have any issue at reboot.
