Read about the 6.8.0 issue. Downloaded 6.8.2. Chose restart. Server did not come back up (drives are spinning, but no UI). Shut down. Restarted. Still won't come up.

 

I am, as you can probably imagine, pretty pissed off, since the only thing I did wrong was follow the instructions to upgrade. No other changes. Now my server is down.

 

How do I fix this?? Can some kind soul help me unscrew what this "upgrade" has screwed up?

Plug in a monitor, boot the PC, take a picture, and post it in your next post. 

OK, done. That was an awful lot of work just to see "S.M.A.R.T. error, backup and replace SSD, press F1."

 

Unbelievable that in 2020, some stupid thing like that can prevent a headless system from booting at all.

 

UI comes up. Cache drive is somehow failing when the value for "202 Percent lifetime remain" is 100. That sounds perfect to me—why is that a failure?? Oh, yeah: because S.M.A.R.T. is anything but.
