I can resolve this issue by shutting the server down, removing the usbstick. plugging it into a windows machine (no errors found) then placing it back in the server and it tends to go again for a day or 2.

 

I attached a screenshot of my desktop view. its weird.

yes tried different usb ports. I originally had it on the internal motherboards 2.0 usb header and it worked perfectly for 7+ months.

 

this problem also occured twice on the usb 2.0 header.

 

Now I have been swapping usb ports but those are all 3.1 gen1 or gen 2.

You don't mention what flash, but I have had several (not in Unraid) of those especially small ones fail, probably due to overheating. Is it hot when you pull it? Do you have anything writing a lot to flash, such as Fix Common Problems Troubleshooting mode? The Unraid OS itself doesn't access flash a lot. Just when you boot, start/stop the array, or change something in the webUI.

Its a 'big/long' sandisk 16gb and the last time I pulled it out, I didn't notice it was warm. Furthermore the usbstick is sitting right in front of one of those new 30 dollar noctua fans so it gets at least some cooling from it.

 

- I dont think I write a lot of data to the usbstick, I do have fix common problems but it checks weekly and the rest is set to default. Additionally I have CA Backup/Restore which is running a daily copy to my second flash drive.

 

- Could that be causing the problem? (edit: I disabled backup to second usbdrive to see if that fixes the issue.)

 

My problem is that I want to try and swap out the usb stick for a brand new one. BUT what happens when that one fails because we can only change over the license key once a year. Am I then screwed and forced to buy a new license?

 

 

My plan: Its doing a parity check and with 8gb drives that takes a while so I will wait until it finishes before I switch to a new usbstick. I really haven't tinkered with the server at all except for normal OS updates. So I think the usbstick could be logical conclusion unless you guys come up with something better :)

 

I will follow this thread closely for the next few days in the hope you guys come up with an alternative to using a new USB stick.

Please let me know how I can contribute more data to find the cause because I really want to fix this issue seeing how everything runs on this machine from my pfsense router to my lights (home assistant) When my server goes dark I pretty much go dark... *unfortunately literally go dark :P*

The automatic process is once a year. If you do experience another failure you can email limetech and explain the situation, they will transfer it manually to another stick for you.

 

I've had a similar thing happen with one of my sticks, (bread errors) and it calmed down on its own for no discernible reason. However, your symptoms and progression definitely sound like a failing stick to me.

 

I'd do the transfer now (after the parity check) to a new stick, not wait and continue to have issues.
