Good Day Everyone.

 

I am having a problem with unraid where all my settings revert back to default after some time.

I have attached some picture to show.

 

Unraid 1: Had to reboot to get this screen again, but this is how I have set my display.

Unraid 2: This is how it look like after ... about 1 hours to 1 day. All docker and VM are running but their tabs are missing and even stopping the array and going to setting to add them again doesn't work. Can't strat new Docker thou and that is how I pick it up.

Unraid 3: Show after the restart that it reverted back, Also my USB where unraid is install on moved to unassigned devices (weird)

 

 

I have restarted the Unraid server multiple time and te problem still presist. Also the USB is brand new. (Bought it in September)

Any assistance or fix to this would be much appreciated.

 

Sounds like your flash is disconnecting. It is best to use a USB2 port for the Unraid boot flash.

 

We can get a better idea if you post your diagnostics. Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete diagnostics zip file to your NEXT post.

Here is the Diagnostics.

I am using a Ryzen CPU 2700 with Asus X470 board. Never had problems until the server was forcefully shutdown by power failure. It is connected to a UPS but the power failure lastest about 1-2 hours.

Try a different port for the flash.

 

Also, under Settings - Scheduler, mover settings, disable mover logging.  It doesn't need to be enabled and only needlessly logs its moves  (though, you'll have to do this after a reboot and the gui looks the way you've set it)

This seems to indicate you are using the UPS wrong. You want Unraid to shutdown fairly soon after the UPS indicates power was lost. Trying to run your server on battery until the battery dies is a bad idea for several reasons.

Hi. Sorry was offline for awhile. Found out my USB fail completely. No Linux or Windows pc picks it up. Was busy coping the co nfig when it just dissappeared. After that.... It was dead. Thank you for the hint that it is dropping the USB. Anyways was too late to back up any thing. Any other advise for the future will be appreciated.

If you need any help to get your array back to a working state feel free to ask questions.

In future any time you make a significant change to the Unraid setup you should click on the flash drive on the Main tab and use the option to download a backup of your flash drive.   It makes it easy to recover from a flash drive failure keeping all your settings intact.

Okay will do that. Thank you once again.
