em1917 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I lost power a while back and some VM's didnt recover. Since that time, I have noticed the VM's do not stop and if I force stop them when I try to boot them back up the VM will only load into the EFI shell. I have loaded the drives into a rescue disk and ran FSCK on the files systems and there were no errors. Does anyone have an idea? Link to comment
cthrumplu Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I had an issue recently (almost the same day you posted actually) where my hackintosh VM that has run fine for almost a year crashed while I was afk, then booted to UEFI shell and would not continue from there. I tried everything I could find in the forums to no avail. I backup vdisks weekly and ended up copying over a backup and it booted fine from that, I just lost a few days worth of stuff. Now it's a couple weeks later, I just circled back to delete the non-working vdisk from my cache drive. I noticed in the terminal that the broken vdisk's permissions are set to 644 and ownership of the files is root:root. On all of my working vdisk.img files, for this VM and others, it's 666 or 777 permissions and ownership is root:users. -rw-rw-rw- 1 root users 64424509440 Jul 1 15:25 sierra-rebuild.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64424509440 Jun 18 08:31 sierra10.12.5.img The first file, sierra-rebuild.img works, the second one sierra10.12.5.img does not. I haven't tried changing the permissions and booting the old one, at this point it's outdated and I don't want to shutdown the VM right now to try it. I'm really not sure what permissions are recommended/necessary for vdisk images, if this was actually what caused my problem, or if there's any reason a crash could result in changed permissions of the vdisk. Maybe 644 and root:root should work and it was another issue entirely. I changed a lot of things on my server during the week it happened, upgrading both unRAID and hardware in the array.

jonp Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Can someone post a screenshot of what they see when they are at the EFI shell? If you see an FS0: filesystem, you can type the following commands to manually boot the VM from the EFI shell: fs0: cd efi cd boot bootx64.efi Link to comment
