I have checked my BIOS settings, there are none. This issue is still happening.

I was always using ESXi 6 with XFS.

Yes I have tried other ports, still no dice. Please see my other thread here:

My unRAID drives are XFS

Version 6.0.0, 5050593

This accurately describes my issues. I did some troubleshooting and I've noticed that my unRAID USB disappears from my unRAID VM. I would have to physically unplug it then plug it back in to the server. After that I would have to run a "Rescan All..." and a "Refresh" on the Storage Adapters section in ESXi for the USB to show back up. After that I can then boot it back up fine. When the USB fails, the minute I navigate to unRAID's Web UI it crashes (because it tries to load information from the USB thats not present anymore) I have it described in a separate thread below: I've tried researching the error but am unable to find a solution. I'm still unsure if the problem is ESXi or unRAID. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

So, I'm not sure if anyone is reading this, but I made an interesting discovery. The minute the I browse and login to unRAID's web UI, I receive the symptoms I explained in the subject (NFS share no longer exported / Dashboard empty / Banner no longer set). Steps to replicate: 1. Wait a few days after fixing issue 2. Attempt to access unRAIDs NFS share (works) 3. Login to unRAID Web UI 4. Attempt to access share again (doesn't work) The second I try to access files on the USB drive (where unRAID files are stored), it crashes. This might be relevant, I have another thread open here ( ) where I explain that I Intermittently can't write to the USB.

I rebooted the server and now I can write files to it. I have attached the syslog here. The flash was not full; 300 MB used out of 4 GB. FYI another forum question that I have open is here: Not sure if this is related. It might assist the community in helping me troubleshoot this on-going problem. tim-car-st01-syslog-20170509-1905.zip

I am getting the error "Unable to write to flash drive" from the Fix Common Problems application. I have confirmed it; I can't create or edit any files on the flash share. How do I mount it as read/write persistently?

The same thing is still happening...does anyone have any suggestions?

Same thing happened again. I'm trying on a new USB now. After installing the new USB, it still takes a few minutes to load the bzroot image on boot up.

Update Ran chkdsk on drive -> found no errors I reformatted the USB with FAT32 (not quick format) Copied all files back to Ran the make bootable script Just curios, the boot process hangs for a few minutes or so, could that hint to anything? It was usually faster then this before. Please see attached screenshot. Perhaps I need to migrate to a new USB drive?

Thanks for quick reply trurl. I will try your suggested fixes and post the results here.

This issue has been happening almost every week for a few months now. The symptoms are: 1. Dashboard tab is completely empty 2. My banner background is wrong (its set to the default picture but I had set a custom one) 3. The NFS share is no longer exported (I try to change it to "Yes" but always goes back to "No") Please see screenshots. I also attached the errors and warnings from the past few days and the diagnostic file. Any help would be greatly appreciated! tim-car-st01-syslog-20170501-1859.zip tim-car-st01-diagnostics-20170501-1901.zip

Tried to make the title as self explanatory as possible. My ESXi server is mapping an unRAID NFS share (/mnt/user/Backup/ESXi). The NFS datastore doesn't always, its status (active or inactive) is intermittent. I tried researching on here and on googles but was unable to find a solution to this problem. Someone suggested on here that " *(rw,no_root_squash) " works like a charm but I have no idea where to implement this argument. The share that I am trying to mount isn't a disk share but a folder called "ESXi" inside the normal "Backup" share. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey Squid, your fix worked! Thanks for your help!

Hmm... I don't see this file. I'll attach my diagnostics archive. Thank you for the quick reply tim-car-st01-diagnostics-20170225-1049.zip

Tried all other USB sockets on server, still no Web UI. Tried a different USB stick (didn't replace key, just copied data and booted on new one to see if Web UI would come up), still no Web UI. I always have to launch it manually with "nohup /usr/local/sbin/emhttp &". Another thing I noticed after awhile is I couldn't mount the unRAID NFS share if the Web UI wasn't running. So when I get a power outage, my services never come back up automatically because the Web UI doesn't start automatically and therefore my other servers and services can't access to share data because it can't be mounted. Is there anything else I can try? I mean I could keep trying different USB sticks but I feel there should be an easier answer. Is there an equivalent to "systemctl enable httpd" in unRAID?

This has been an issue since I initially installed unRAID. The title explains it all, the web server doesn't start when unRAID loads and I am using a Lexar JD Firefly as my boot USB. I am mentioning the USB because I've done some research and noticed others ran into trouble while using a SanDisk USB. I wanted to test with a different USB to see if the issue persists; is there an easy way to migrate the license from my current USB to a new one? Thanks in advance for any help!
