hello,
i have a strange issue with my unraid box where my motherboard will not boot from the unraid USB drive. every time i reboot, i have to go into the BIOS, boot tab and tell it to boot from that USB drive. i don't have any other boot devices present, that USB drive is the only option available to my BIOS. additionally, i tried putting a USB drive with windows 11 installer on it, and it booted off that drive just fine without me having to tell it too.
once i point to the boot device, everything works just fine. no issues until the next time i have to reboot. but it's still a pain having to connect a monitor to this thing every time i need a reboot
i tried several different BIOS versions. i googled for days and can't find similar issues to mine. any thoughts on what i should try next?
thank you

i can't thank you enough for this plugin. this is the only FTP plugin or docker app that i could find that actually works. other apps worked inconsistently, allowed FTP users root access event though they were configured to only use a specific folder, stored files in the "appdata" folder instead of a share, etc. they are all terrible. except this one. this is a god send. thank you
i'm using this to record surveillance camera footage about a dozen cameras in 4 different locations. using unraid 6.11.0. webserver doesn't work but i don't care. was never going to use it anyway.

Some older motherboards didn't boot properly if the EFI folder existed, I guess they got confused whether they were supposed to boot traditionally or UEFI. The compromise was made to properly configure the EFI folder but rename it if the checkbox to enable UEFI boot wasn't checked when the flash was created.
Are you selecting the Allow UEFI checkbox in the customize section?
it appears that i was doing something wrong, i didn't check the EUFI box. i didn't know it was there. oops
thank you

Hello,
If your boot flashdrive have a folder named EFI- , try to rename it EFI (without the trailing - ).
hello.
sorry to hijack a thread, but why does the media creator put the dash there? i created unraid drives before and this didn't happen before, but it started happening now. i tried making the unraid media on at least 5 different computers and probably a dozen flash drives. and it kept happening. i didn't notice the dash until i read this.
removing the dash got me in business. why is it happening now but wasn't happening before? am i doing something wrong?

thank you for taking the time to answer my Qs, but this seems like a work around rather than a solution. i would have never imagined such a limitation. i've been spoiled by synology and QNAP, but i don't want to pay for their hardware anymore.
looks like i'm better off getting a HighPoint SSD7120 controller and let it run my nvme drives in RAID6.
thanks again.

Do you have a cache pool? If not then put the SSDs there and you're done.
i don't get it. how does that help me? is there a way to tell it to keep certain folders on the fast storage at all times?

hello,
i'm trying to build a NAS with 2 arrays, one with nvme drives and another with spinning rust. i have one array working but can't see a way to create a second. i saw some posts regarding this from 2+ years ago saying you can't do it. is this still the case?
ASUS PRIME Z690-P will not automatically boot from UNRAID USB drive, have to boot override each time

hi, thanks for the reply. i had to do that when i first set up this NAS. without doing that it would not boot at all. didn't even see it as a bootable device. after seeing your post i double checked to make sure i wasn't crazy
thanks
