So I moved some drives to diferent controllers so all the array is on the original onbourd controller. AND IT WORKS. Spare sata was in use with CD writer which I hardly use. Thank you for you help It gives me faith in humanity that you guys helped someone that you dont know, so much

is this right? media-diagnostics-20261017-0126.zip media-syslog-20261016-1225.zip

So I coppy My config, it still boots but now the it says there is a disk missing in the array but the disk is it says is missing is running and it is seen by the bios . . I've tried different sata cables Do I try and start the array anyway? is replace and rebuild drive the only option? EDIT: Its the only drive on a seapate sata controller so i think thats the failure...checking

YESSS!!!! It Boots Wow you guys are awesome. I cant thank you enough Lets hope when I swap my cofig file it all comes back

Thank you so much for the help So it seems it partly worked untill the last step It did unmount the UNRAID USB though m44k@m44-LNX:~$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ | grep UNRAID m44k@m44-LNX:~$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ | grep UNRAID lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 15 23:27 UNRAID -> ../../sda1 m44k@m44-LNX:~$ cp /media/$USER/UNRAID/make_bootable_linux ~/ m44k@m44-LNX:~$ cd ~ m44k@m44-LNX:~$ sudo bash ./make_bootable_linux INFO: make_bootable_linux v1.4 INFO: The following device appears to be the unRAID USB Flash drive: /dev/sda Permit UEFI boot mode [Y/N]: Y INFO: unRAID USB Flash drive currently mounted to /media/m44k/UNRAID, copying temporary installer files to /tmp/UNRAID To continue you may need to enter your admin password sudo: /tmp/UNRAID/syslinux/make_bootable_linux.sh: command not found

Linux mint.

@Lolight Ok this instruction here is beyond me (sorry, Im learning) Linux: Unmount the USB drive. Then run sudo bash ./make_bootable_linux. I dont seem to be able to run this command in an ummounted drive? "bash: ./make_bootable_linux: No such file or directory"

Thank you I was looking at the wron instructions I think I will try this as soon as I'm back with the server. You guys are being very helpful to me a noob. thank you

Cannot find anyCSM Or Secure Boot Probably too old. EFI folser has no trailing - I thought my bios was UEFI but it's probably legacy Im using the Unraid creator. Whats make_bootable and how can i run it? (linux)

UEFI. its the same results now as pre reinstall on both drives. I will test on another computer when I can. the next server wil def be NOT booting from USB.

@JorgeB thanks. Tried with installer on linux (7.3.2 latest with installer) No Boot Tried a new brand USB Exactly the same samsung metal type and no boot also. I live far from stores and deliveries Bios set to boot from USB. USB is first in bios drive order Boot dialog sees the USB storage device but still cannot boot, goes to a black screen with blinking curser top left just as after the update originally

@JorgeB @Lolight Thanks for the answers. Very much apreciated So just to be clear.The ONLY folder that has all my settings docker, anything that is "mine" is in the config folder? And Im assuming instructions the same on linux?

Everything was running fine I updated from 7.3.2 to 7.3.3 When it said to reboot after update, i did. Nothing. After attaching a monitor to the server, the Computer IS set to boot from USB in the bios and the usb device is found on boot. Have tied to reboot an all USB ports.. USB is recommended Samsung drive less than a year old. I cant find in docs the way to trouble shopot this situaltion. Will there be anything I can recover from the USB? PLEASE PLEASE Can someone point me to where its documented how to troubleshoot this.

The collabora app is so much better than the app I found, thanks. and it doesnt require google play services :-)

@Junker der Provinz Woop. YeeHa. Documents. And they are soo fast. I had done all those steps 1-3 before ...but now it just works!!!! Now to wait for Euro office to create a mobile app. yes I'd like to have access occasionally to docs and sheets on a Phone. I can open on the web GUI from unraid web but that awkward even thou the responsicve page layout is pretty good. Does anyone know of a mobile app that will open the .ocnote format? Is there a good third party app that can opem .odt, .odt and .odp? Thankyou soo much @Junker der Provinz

@Junker der Provinz thank you so much for making this simple. I've had seafile installed and looking correct for two years, updated from 12-13. Watched numerous tutorials and it never actually worked. Your opencloud template worked as advertised with simple but complete written instructions. Thank you. Within minutes I could upload to my own cloud. Write notes etc. EURO-OFFICE TEMPLATE Sorry if im hijacking the opencloud thread. I couldnt find a euro-office thread I've installed your open-office template. I followed the instructions on both templates from your Github pages and it looks correct. I can log in to the admin page and view and edit the example doc but nothing else. ???? The "example" doc says "enable JavaScript for this to run this app". How do I do that? Should I? If I click on "WebUI" from the Euro-office docker in unraid, it always goes to the welcome page and I have to click on the "Go to admin Panel" at the bottom of the welcome page. It seems im not quite finished the install or connection process. I'm not sure how I'm meant to create a document. I assume it will be an option to create a new document in opencloud but there is nothing there I am only operating both opencloud and euro-office on a local network. If i get that working then maybe ill try talescale to access from outside If I can get my own private docs on my unraid I'd be soooo happy. Thank you.

Hi I've installed seafile 13, seafile-mariadb, seafile-redis. It appears to work and can log in, create folders, create markdown files on web interface and android app and can see changes in both places. However I cannot upload any file in either location. Same error "Network Error. Retry" Also I cannot edit/pen a markdown files in either location, just spinners forever. Seafile forums and other searches show the same error but I cannot find any on unraid and I'm not experienced enough to transfer knowledge from another fileserver to unraid. How do I go about troubleshooting this?

Thanks l...And yet still it seems for those self hosting and are possibly wanting to unfaang themselves, tailscale requires full nerd certification. I have unraid and so may apps in dockers working so well locally for years and it shouldn't be this hard to have access outside of my network. I have tried to set up OICD auth with four different providers, watching tutorials and searching help and i just end up with too many acronyms and a high level of expected knowledge. There has to be a simpler way or instructions that are in simple language somewhere?

This is the type of answer I get from Support. The story to them is unbelievable so therefor I'm lying. I'm not sure what the motivation would be for lying given that resolving the issue with a new USB and license transfer is not difficult. I can state that I did not re register the same exact time as I rebooted from update to 7.2.2. all day, but refusing to believe me does not sort the issue. No one wants their software to have an unknown bug. I get it, it so often is user error. I just don't want to lose access to MY files every time I update

Support are reasonably fast to respond via unraid.net. create a ticket and youl be back within a day or two depending on time zone differences

I have had this discussion with support. They answered with advice but keep saying to replace the original usb. I get the feeling they think im not telling the truth. However if their system is switching licenses thats a serious issue IMO. I like unraid. I dont want to have to look for something more reliable. yes im just going to change the USB key.....but it doesnt seem like the usb key was even the issue

Thanks for reply @JorgeB Its the only flash drive connected ever since 2020. The flash drive did not change GIUD that any records show. This is what I assumed happened but Unraid still shows the original GUID it was registered to. I have the 2020 receipt. What changed is the GUID my account says its registered to.

1. I Licensed Unraid in 2020 . USB licence reciept shows registration to FLASH GUID XXXX 2. Works fine for over four years. I'm loving it.. My physical Unraid server sits in corner and NO ONE else is even here that could access it and the USB drive is NEVER removed. Update to 7.2.2 while doing NOTHING else to the server no setting changes etc. Reboot On reboot array cannot be restarted so no server. A warning is displayed "Registration key / USB Flash GUID mismatch" Flash GUID: XXXX Registered GUID: YYYY Registered on: Mon, 24 November 2025 (DATE I UPDATED AND REBOOTED) I talk to support. They send me a registration link that shows my original Order number back in 2020 but its registered to FLASH GUID YYYY. Support say put the original USB key back in.. It never left the server I Provide support screen grabs of above and they say it shows the USB has changed. How can it have changed when it shows my USB the same GUID now as when registered back in 2020. Now I'm happy to to replace the USB but what happened?. Does this kind of thing happen with unraid often?. Can I rely on a server that can have this type of issues?

Yes. And now still with no unrais as new USB drive has taken ages to be delivered... ... I dig through years old emails when I purchased licence to discover my guid IS correct as registered and UNRAID is just wrong. I suspect unraid service (although pleasantly helpful) must know this also as they surely have the records also. I think im being gaslit and there is more to it. My guid hasn't changed and the moment I updated to 7.2.2 unraid said my registration was for another guid, which documents say is untrue, then the software surely is at fault.

I just had my usb GUID change also. [EDIT... Just found original registration. My guid is correct and unraid is wrong. ] Pretty sure the unraid help guys don't believe that happened and think I changed the USB drive though. I was instructed to put the USB with the correct guid back in. My guess is it suggests my usb is dying but in the meantime I have no server. Ilive a long way from retail or even delivery. If USB drives are this unreliable it seems dumb that the whole system relies on it. and that an impossibly old type of key is recommended. If the lifespan is expected to only be a few years then at least there should be system warnings to replace it.
