ssinseeme Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 After trying to install Win10 with a graphic card, I guess Unraid had some issues with the VM. I could not force stop the vm the only option i had was to delete it, after that Unraid became plank, I mean all the tabs including dashboard, main etc.. not showing anything. so I had to reboot from the terminal. after the reboot, Unraid is performing parity check again and I have to wait 17 hours. could you please explain.

Squid Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 unRaid always does a parity check in cases of unclean shutdowns. You don't have to wait though for it to finish. The system is completely usable (but may run slower on disk accesses) during this process. As to why its "blank", that is kinda hard to say. What do you mean exactly by "not showing anything". But for future reference, if this happens again, grab the diagnostics via the terminal by entering in diagnostics and then posting the resulting file stored on the flash drive (logs folder) Quote Link to comment
ssinseeme Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Thanks for the reply, Blank like blank page nothing in it. I could not shutdown the system from the dashboard, I used the Terminal. Anyways you mentioned that i could access Unraid even when its doing parity, it was not the case as my Plex Server was showing Offline. when I checked the Dockers, they were not there. I will check when the parity finishes. thanks again Quote Link to comment

I have had five unclean shutdowns in the last three days as I worked through some stability issues with my system that were exposed by running BOINC 24x7 putting the server under high load. In most cases, all my disks were spun down and I knew no writing to the disks was taking place. When my server locked up and I had to hard reset it, I just immediately cancelled the resulting parity check. Mine take about 16.5 hours. A scheduled parity check had taken place with 0 errors just a day before all the fun started so I knew I was working from a clean system. At least while trying to troubleshoot, it if often not necessary to do a full parity check after every unclean shutdown. It is a good idea after things have settled down. Had your current parity check resulted in any errors? Not saying you should cancel current check, but, sometimes it is safe to do so. Quote Link to comment
ssinseeme Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Any help with the Blank screen again. this is ongoing issue. this time my VM didn't start correctly because the mouse USB was missing. then when i plugged the USB and tried to start the VM again the VM tab disappeared and all other tab screen are blank. i have to reboot again from the terminal.
