[SOLVED] 6.9-b35 USB drive failed when I tried to create a WIN VM

[doesntaffect]

Hi folks,

 

I have two failing USB sticks in a couple of days an wonder if there is a pattern. The server (hardware) is brand new and I am running the latest beta.

 

I tried to create a Win 10 VM which failed and suddently Docker and VMs are disabled and the Dashboard looks scrambled and shows following error messages:

Warning: parse_ini_file(/boot/config/docker.cfg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php on line 50

Warning: array_replace_recursive(): Expected parameter 2 to be an array, bool given in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php on line 50

Warning: parse_ini_file(/boot/config/domain.cfg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.vm.manager/include/libvirt_helpers.php on line 472

The registration page says: Error code: ENOFLASH3

 

I stopped the Array. Main doesnt show the 3 Cache SSDs anymore, however the Dashboard does show the cache.

 

Any advise?

Boot from a USB2 port.

Thanks, should it be that easy? I'll give it a shot.

 

Shutdown and replugging the stick to another port doesnt mess up anything with shares / container etc.?

No - Unraid does not care where it is plugged - just that it is.   Unraid is largely hardware agnostic.

 

it surprises me how many people are finding USB3 drives to be unreliable for prolonged use (in theory they should ‘just work’) but maybe that is just the current state of the technology.

I just bought a USB card that had an internal type connector to put my thumb drive inside my case.  Keep my kid from grabbing it and none of my unraid stuff got jacked up

plugged the stick into a USB2 port and so far things are running fine. I am new UnRaid, coming from Synology and still learn. 

 

Thanks for the support!
