Spanners44 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi, I've spent about 2 1/2 months setting up my first Unraid server and got everything working just right. So I decided to upgrade the pendrive I was using from a unbranded 4GB drive to a SanDisk Ultra Flair 8GB drive. I followed the video from Spaceinvaders One (great stuff mate) and everything started up fine so I requested a new key from LimeTech. If wasn't until after I put the server to Sleep (S3) (using SSH command sent from my HTPC) and woke it up the next day I found there was a problem. I could not access the server shares over my network and when I signed into the WebUI I got the default header part and nothing else (see attached screenshot), none to the tabs show any info in the main area and the skin isn't the one I was using. After powering the server down and restarting everything came up fine so I put it to sleep and woke it up using scripts from my Windows PC and the same thing happened again. I never had any issues with putting it to sleep when using the old pendrive. Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a way to fix it? If I have to replace the drive again can someone recommend one they know works fine with S3 Sleep? Additional: after more testing I've found I sometimes can access the shares over the network but the WebUI always reverts to the default skin and displays no info. If I put it to sleep again and wake it I cannot see the server on my network or access the WebUI. The only way to get things back to normal is a full power-down/startup which I don't want to have to do when the server isn't being used. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It sounds as if the system may be having problems reading the pen drive reliably. If possible use a USB2 port as they tend to be far more reliable and Unraid gets no significant advantage from using USB 3 as it runs from RAM. Quote Link to comment
Spanners44 Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 I am using a USB 2 port as the Mobo doesn't have USB 3. I have also tried re-writing the pendrive backup to new drive in case there was corruption with the first write but still no joy. Quote Link to comment
Spanners44 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 I managed to wake the server with enough WebUI control to run diagnostics, I hope that helps someone. I've contacted LimeTech about replacing the pendrive. mediaserver-diagnostics-20200806-1541.zip Quote Link to comment
