October 11, 201015 yr to gracefully shut down an unRAID 4.3 server WITHOUT access to the webGUI? I came downstairs yesterday to do some work on my network and found my unRAID box wasn't on the network (i.e., I couldn't bring the webGUI up, the box wouldn't ping out -- or in, and the network status on the switch was dark). I issued an "init 0" command, reconfigured the network and brought it back up. It looked okay for about five minutes and then I saw the network light on the switch drop out again....and sure enough....it's offline again. I do, however, have access to the Linux prompt. If I can get it shutdown, I'll add a network card (I'm running off the MB ethernet port) and try to restart. My hope was to copy some files off the server before I started my upgrade. Thanks in advance.

October 13, 201015 yr Author Type cd /root/samba stop umount /mnt/disk1 umount /mnt/disk2 umount /mnt/disk3 (do this for each of your disks. Note it is umount, not unmount. (the first "n" is missing in the command.) Then, once all the disks are un-mounted you can issue the command to stop the array /root/mdcmd stop If it says OK, then type reboot Thanks Joe. The commands seemed to work great. My one question, however, is what command other than "reboot" should I have used if I wanted to shutdown (vice reboot) my server? I tried "init 0" at the end, and the machine did shutdown, but I saw a few messages flash by the screen as if it was trying to sync the drives (i.e., potentially undoing the umount commands). Thanks in advance. Now if I can just find that spare NIC...
