"This usually means your flash drive is corrupted or has dropped offline. The rest of the Unraid GUI will also be affected. Post a new thread in the Unraid forums if this error continues"
I recently got this message while working on something in the GUI and thought it was maybe a false error, so I decided to reboot only to discover that a bunch of stuff from the flash drive had been lost, including the ability to boot. I created a brand new flash drive, copied over my config and a few files (excluding the needed slackware image, some fsck logs, etc.). It booted right up and everything looked good except I couldn't start the array because of registration.
I tried to correct that using the new "MyServers" stuff and for some reason the login popup was showing a different email address than I had used for the MyServers account. The HTML field was locked so it was non-editable, so I couldn't change it. I logged into the MyServers section here of the forums and tried to follow the instructions, but as I was working on that, I got the above message again on a different flash drive.
I believe that this is probably either a MyServers-caused issue -OR- something to do with recent Dynamix apps that I had installed, as I noticed that the WebGUI theme was changing to a different one and when I'd try to change it back, it would just reload the same theme I didn't want. I noticed "dynamix" on one of the web pages there and it may be suspect.
I can wipe my flash drive and start anew (if this latest error has wiped stuff from the flash drive again), copying over my config stuff, but I can't perform the replacement key process because of the e-mail address mismatch between what the WebGUI thinks I should use to login with and what was actually used to create the MyServers/Forums account. Since I literally cannot change the input field because it's locked, I'm locked out of being able to use my array.
I have to tell you, being a new customer, that 6.9.x wasn't ready for primetime. I've had nothing but problems since upgrading, even reverting to 6.8.3 when 6.9.0 dropped and until 6.9.1 fixed some stuff. I wanted the AMD hardware acceleration stuff for jellyfin/plex and decided to go with the upgrade because of that, but it's been a nightmare. I'm really considering that I should back up what data I have and give another product a try at this point. I'm really pissed that I can't use my own freaking array because of a flash drive/registration problem, until this gets resolved. No reduced capability, no reverting to a 30-day trial, just a grayed out "Start" button for the array and a "Invalid, missing or expired registration key." message.
Help me fix this, please.
