Hi,

 

Tried to upgrade to 4.1 and I got an invalid config error (red) with 2 disks missing.  Oddly one was a Sata drive (disk 1) the other an IDE drive (disk 4).  I downgraded back to 4.0 without problems and all drives were found and all is green.

 

I'm a novice to LINUX so could someone walk me through troubleshooting.  I'm unsure how you all create the log files you post here.  I'm hoping if I do that someone could then tell me the problem.  While not an immediate problem want to be able to upgrade to 4.2 in future so I need to resolve my system incompatibility with 4.1

 

Thanks in advance.

Alan

Refer to this page http://www.lime-technology.com/wordpress/?page_id=33 to Telnet into your unRAID server.  You can also login to your unRAID console, same as logging in within a telnet session, except you cannot use copy and paste, which will be useful below.

 

Then, this Wiki page http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Viewing_the_System_Log will help in accessing your syslog.  I usually use a copy command something like 'cp /var/log/syslog /boot/syslog200707151005.txt'.  Then with any file manager (such as Windows Explorer), copy it from the flash root to your Windows computer.

 

This sounds like a hardware detection problem, so a module listing might be helpful to Tom.  At the telnet console you opened above, type lsmod and capture the results.  It would especially be helpful, I think, if you could briefly re-install unRAID 4.1 to your flash, in order to capture an lsmod from it, and its syslog.  Then you could return to 4.0.  Tom will have other ideas.  Since this is the first release of 4.1, it should perhaps be considered a beta release?

 

You can use copy-and-paste within a Telnet session.  From the System menu (icon on far left of title bar) of the telnet console, select Edit, then Mark.  Move cursor to top left of desired capture region, then drag cursor to bottom right and release left mouse button.  Then press Enter, and it's ready to paste elsewhere.  Or you can select Select All from the Edit menu and then press Enter, and capture the complete telnet session, or at least the lines still within its buffer.

 

I just upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1 and also had missing drives. I have an all pata system running on a system built from a starter set from Tom. Out of 12 drives, the 4 attached to the motherboard all came up missing. I went into the settings page and reassigned them (they were all listed in the dropdowns). Back on the main page, everything came up blue. I had to do a restore and now a parity check is running but everything seems to be ok.
