Saiyan528 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 hey everyone, having nothing but trouble so far, coming from freenas everything worked fine but now i cant seem to get the box to connect to the internet with unraid. I have a x9scm-f mobo, i tried moving all 3 jumpers over to disable the onboard nics and put in a pci card and tried that and still nothing. spent days on this and i dont know what else to do except put everything in a woodchipper...it also says cannont find bond0 if that means anything. Ive tried googling million posts and tried what other people did but nothing seems to work for me. Just paid for unraid expecting it to work and seems like a waste of money so far...

You have not provided much useful information for helping you resolve the issue. I doubt your onboard NICs are the problem. Does unRAID boot up fine and you just cannot connect to the Internet? Can you get to the GUI? Are there any errors in your syslog (other than 'cannot find bond0')? If the system boots fine, please post your diagnostics .zip file (Tools --> Diagnostics in the GUI or type 'diagnostics' at the console) and provide a bit more detail on what happens when you boot unRAID. Without diagnostics, everyone will just be guessing. Quote Link to comment
Saiyan528 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 alright putting it all back to normal then booting it up and grabbing the diagnostics now, yes it all just boots fine just seems to be no internet Quote Link to comment
Saiyan528 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 did the diagnostics thing and it says zip created but then there isn't a zip file on the unraid usb... i even tried creating the folders for it and still nothing, holy shit why is this so hard for me... Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 This suggests that the USB drive is not being correctly mounted at /boot (which would also explain the network issues). You can use the ‘df’ command in a console session to check if it is being mounted as /boot. Quote Link to comment
Saiyan528 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 what would i do just plug it into a different port? the port ive been using is right on the mobo itself Quote Link to comment
Saiyan528 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 This is from the “df” command and I also just plugged it into the back instead of that spot on the mobo Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 That shows that there is nothing mounted at /boot (which is where the USB drive should be mounted if the boot process is completing correctly). The problem is going to be to work out what is causing this. Quote Link to comment
Saiyan528 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 ok any tips on what to do next? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 How did you purchase unraid? Normally you would have needed to boot successfully to get the GUID of the USB you are licensing. Quote Link to comment
Saiyan528 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 If I can get it running I’d like to purchase it Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) How was the flash disk created? If created manually then have you made sure it is labelled “UNRAID”, and is in FAT32 format? Experience has shown that USB2 ports are more reliable than USB3 ones if you have a choice of ports to use. Since Unraid runs from RAM you do not need the increased performance that is the main benefit of USB3. Have you tried booting the USB stick in a different computer? That might be a way of validating the USB stick. Edited December 14, 2018 by itimpi Quote Link to comment
Saiyan528 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Yea I actually tossed it in my main rig for the he’ll of it and got same issue...I used the unraid creator thing then just hit write Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Is the USB stick you are trying to use a USB2 or a USB3 drive? Many people have had trouble getting USB3 drives to work where USB2 works OK. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Did you format the stick to FAT32 before you ran the creator? Try using RUFUS to format it.

itimpi Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Those should be fine - that is what I use in my own UnRAID systems. Are you booting in UEFI mode or legacy mode? If you have been using UEFI mode then you might want to try legacy mode (or vice versa). Note that for UEFI mode then you need to rename the folder to not have a trailing ~ character.

Leaves a bad impression. ok detective i went to the site to purchase it and have been just trying to get it to work for the past 3 days and didn't remember that i actually haven't paid for it yet... don't come in here trolling. "that leaves a bad impression" don't be that guy Quote Link to comment
Saiyan528 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 also i just went and downloaded unraid 6.6 from teh site and theres no .iso in the zip file...should i make that into an iso and then manually install it with rufus? Quote Link to comment

"that leaves a bad impression" don't be that guy I was trying to be helpful and troubleshoot your issue. When I don't know what to believe in your posts it makes it hard to give good advice. You set the tone here, I'm just offering suggestions that have worked for others that have had similar issues. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Just now, Saiyan528 said: also i just went and downloaded unraid 6.6 from teh site and theres no .iso in the zip file...should i make that into an iso and then manually install it with rufus? No, just use rufus to format the drive and set the label to UNRAID. Don't bother with the part of rufus that tries to put files on it. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The reason I suggested RUFUS is that it is a pretty much foolproof method of getting the format correct. Windows sometimes has issues formatting the USB stick with a layout that works. It seems like it works, it boots, but doesn't mount properly. Quote Link to comment
Saiyan528 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Trying it now in the server Quote Link to comment
Saiyan528 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Holy shit that worked...and I have to leave for work in 15 mins god dammit. Aside from that I think it was the renaming thing. Maybe the unraid creator doesn’t rename it. And thank you a lot. “Invisible hug” Quote Link to comment

The USB creator is a relatively new thing, and obviously still has teething issues. I suspect it does rename properly, but doesn't do enough verification of the device format. I haven't actually used it, so I dunno. 7 minutes ago, Saiyan528 said: And thank you a lot. “Invisible hug” You're welcome. Hope the rest of your unraid journey is smoother, but if you run into an issue, the forums are full of information. Unraid is a mature product in the grand scheme of tech things. Unfortunately the forum search is pretty broken, but google search works fine. add site:forums.unraid.net to the search terms you want to look for. Quote Link to comment
