Hey there,

 

So I'm having issues accessing my web admin or any of my shares. I've tested the ethernet cable with my laptop and verified it's working. I've connected a monitor, keyboard and mouse to my server and booted to the GUI and accessing it from there and fails too, I can access the internet from that as well. I'll attach some diagnostics, when I boot to the command line I noticed some errors that I'm not sure if they are indicating the problem that could be causing this:

 

Starting Samba: /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
        		/usr/sbin/smbd -D
				/usr/sbin/winbindd -D
cat: write error: Broken pipe
/usr/bin/md5sum: /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/tmux-2.7-x86_64-1.txz: Input/output error
rm: cannot remove '/boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/tmux-2.7-x86_64-1.txz': No such file or directory

 

Actually it looks like it's not saving diagnostics. An error about writing the diagnostics to the disk appears.

Perhaps something is going on with my boot flash drive? If I cd to /boot/ and ls -al the directories have d?????? ? ?  for the info. Maybe the permissions are corrupted? And if I try to cd into /boot/previous/ for example it tells me input/output error.

 

I also tried shutting down and using my boot flash drive in a different USB port (front port versus the back port for example) and seems like same issue.

You probably want to plug the drive into a PC or Mac and get it to check the USB drive for errors.   You want to also check that machine can open the drive and see its contents.

I did try connecting the USB drive to my Mac and running fsck_msdos and Disk Utility's first aid on it and found no issues. I could read the data on it fine too.

This suggests that the flash drive dropped offline.  You can confirm by entering in this command after logging in

cat /var/log/syslog | grep bread

Any result means that it did

 

Try a different USB port, ideally USB2

This was it, thanks! I guess when I had moved my server last I had switched ports for my flash drive and didn't realize it  Thanks so much for the help @Squid !
