Description Of Issue
When doing backup to my USB flash drive (Kingston DataTraveler SE9 G2 64GB USB 3.0, formatted as FAT32), it works fine when I do the backup manually and remove the memory stick after power down of the NUC.
However if I keep the memory stick inserted next time I power up the NUC Roon Core is not found. Doesn’t matter if I check on my iPad Pro, iPhone 8, Macbook Pro or old iMac… This has never worked on 1.6 and doesn’t work on 1.7 either. Never tried any other USB flash drives.
It is a bit of an annoyance as I would like to forget about those backups and let them run automatically.
Try going to the BIOS for your NUC and change the boot order so that the drive that Roon Core is on (presumably your OS boot drive) is ahead of the thumb drive.
Ok, will have to bring it to some friend who runs a PC then, as only macs are available here. Sounds like a plausible explanation (and I can’t remember the order now. Presumably the one suggested in the instructions, which I remember I tried following to a T).
Just tried and after backup and restarting the NUC, I can’t reach the web UI any longer. After I power down, remove the USB flash drive, and power back up, the web UI returns.
At boot up time, the machine will try each device, in turn in the order that BIOS specifies to find an OS.
Normally, there would be no thumb drive inserted so the machine will look at the next drive for a boot signature (in this case the M.2). By leaving your thumb drive in a boot time, the machine looks there for an OS. It finds something, but it isn’t an OS so it fails to boot.
When you have he ROCK thumb drive in when you installed ROCK, the machine boots from there. You only want to do that once.
You can temporarily change the boot order, as a test. On a Intel NUC, press F10 at startup. You’ll get a screen that will let you specify the boot order for the present startup only.
Call it a proof of concept before you take it somewhere to muck with the BIOS.
Depends on what Dylan will reply, I am all for checking out what you suggest. Like I said before, it sounds very plausible the boot order is incorrect. But before doing that, I will check the other USB connection on the NUC. I usually go for the same input, as it is easier to reach. Maybe the 2nd input is after the ROCK disc.
Thanks for confirming that the Web UI cannot be reached. As Slim suggested, it definitely sounds like there may be a boot order problem, so performing the test he suggested (temporarily changing boot order) definitely seems like a good first step here. Let us know how that goes!
