Update: I finally got it to work using the Creator tool. I don't know what changed but it worked. I think the help page might be out of date.

I also meant to mention that the aforementioned tools never complain about non-bootable images or missing partitions when writing those other Linux distros. Thanks for the help.

Hi all. I've been working for several hours now trying to figure out why the Unraid USB Creator won't make a bootable image. Maybe I'm wrong and it IS bootable, but I can't see it. I used the tool several times and my old PC never sees a bootable drive. It does see the USB drive, but says "no OS." But I know this PC should work as I can load Debian, Ubuntu, etc. with no problems. I also tried writing the Unraid 7.1.3 image with Rufus and Etcher but both complained that the Unraid image (I downloaded it twice to be sure it wasn't corrupted) was missing a partition and would not be bootable. They were right. I have yet to fix this problem and it's upsetting. Any help would be appreciated. I just want to be able to boot the USB drive. Thanks.

Shame. Still not sure how that could have gone so bad with so many things happening at the same time (other server getting popped). Thank you for the help. Guess I'll need to move on.

Option 1 didn't work so it's the nuclear option now. It's thinking about it currently. I'll update when I know more. Thanks again.

Thanks for having a look. Note that I had an all-purpose ssd pool (single drive) formatted as ZFS that I used as cache and appdata, though I had no apps yet. I detached that to reduce complexity. unraid-2-diagnostics-20250608-0744.zip

Hi all, I have a ZFS pool I created a few weeks ago - 5x20TB raidz1 pool. I believe my Rosewill hotswap enclosure had an iffy connection to SATA so one of the drives fell offline. I also upgraded to 7.1.2 and then 7.1.3 during this time but I'm not sure this is related. When I rebooted my other zpool was fine but the other had the ZFS Pool "Unmountable: Unsupported or No File System" error. The system cannot find the bad zpool, named "hdd-one" at all. I've read a lot about possibilities and tried many of them, though I'm avoiding things like zpool import -f because I've read about possible data loss. At the same time this happened I had a possible power spike on my other server and lost a few drives there. I believe they are totally (electrically) there. What logs/data/info do I need to post here to try to fix this long enough to pull the data? Again, I'd have a backup but that got fried. Thanks for any and all constructive help.

After trying so many things for so long, I decided simply wait for a very long time - and in fact I was able to boot in. One of the many problems (and the primary one ultimately) was that my IPMI on my SuperMicro board seems to conflict with the video card I have in the box...so it seems that the video output simply stops at random places during boot. That's why I had so many random "hangs"...it would randomly stop updating the video on my monitor during the boot process. Strange. Either way, I ultimately got it to work.

Some errors (just this morning): Dirty bit is set - Fs not properly unmounted and data may be corrupt. Automatically removing the dirty bit. There are differences between the boot sector and backup (mostly harmless) Hangs: ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xdd11d000 port 0xdd11d280 irq 31 [drm] Initialized ast 0.1.0 20120228 for 0000:06:00.0 on minor 0 mpt2sas_cm0: 0 1 1 (the three above hangs were simple reboots with no hardware changes...demonstrating the randomness of the hangs) mount: /dev/loop1 mounted on /lib/modules. mpt2sas_cm0: CurrentHostPageSize is 0: Setting default page size to 4k (removed SAS): usb 1-5: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd (no SAS, 2 SSDs attached): ast 0000:06:00.0: [drm] Analog VGA only This is really crazy. Any help/insight would be great. I'm at a loss.
