Tons of issues that could each be their own thread but for now, can someone explain this scanning process that happens every time I reboot the server? Takes 10-15 minutes to restart.

 

Background is I'm back to my VMs being unable to reboot themselves without bringing the whole server down. Probably 25 hard resets by holding the power button. 

Not likely without Diagnostics.

This happens before unraid is up and running. Do I just pull diags once it's up and running, and they will show a record of the boot process?

Are you referring to the download?   Its probably rclone updating itself.  As @BRiT says, diagnostics would say  (tools - diagnostics)   post entire zip 

Post your Diagnostics zip file.

 

Snippet from the first portion of my syslog showing the starting of SSHd and Samba, so that is included. the syslog starts 2 minutes before this.

Ok, diags attached. Sorry, I didnlt think they were helpful for pre-boot issues.  I am referring to the very last line on the screen. Usually doesn't take any time at all but with all my hard reboots its working overtime doing whatever it does.

Seems to be RCLONE as Squid said.

 

The first line of your /var/log/syslog is Nov 27 17:27:27, and things progress smoothly until you get to RCLONE. There's a nearly 7 minute gap in that part. Gap starts at 17:27:47 and ends at 17:35:33 with 1 interruption between from the network time daemon 'ntpd'.

Should I expect that on every reboot?

Yes, as long as you still use the rclone plugin. Because Unraid is loaded into RAM, anything that is not built into Unraid will need to be reinstalled (and if required re-downloaded) at boot.

 

I think there's a folder in which any downloaded package is installed at boot (look on Youtube for lstopo video by SpaceInvadeOne) so theoretically you can download rclone (+ any prerequisite), put it in there, uninstall the rclone plugin and your rclone should still work from boot without needing the download.

Advanced user only I guess.

I could swear it didn't take this long to reboot until all my other issues recently.  In any case, I removed the plug-in as I wasnt using it anyway. Thanks!
