I have to remember the exact order in the array? No unfortunately not. This has been my first deep delve into going self hosted and I didn't realize how high stakes some of my mistakes were.

I copied the files to my share and pulled them down to my windows machine that way. Upon further inspection I may have confused myself. I'm looking at the usb and it's the one I thought was gone it looks like I reinstalled on the original usb. I remember thinking I must have used a different one because you wanted me to reactivate and I had to contact support. I do appreciate y'all's help. But I don't have a good feeling about all this. Is there anyway test disk could pull the data? Or is written. Only in a way unRAID can understand?

here is the diagnostictower-diagnostics-20220622-0300.zip

Originally I navigated to that directory through putty or the web gui cli can't remember which. I got it to my desktop using a usb stick

It was a reset not just an update, I spaced that. I was having an issue where my VM's would disappear on reboot so I just wanted to reset and keep my files. That was the goal.

I googled a tutorial and this is the way it was presented. I already contacted support and have registered the device. All I have is the /boot/config directory.

So the way I updated must be incorrect. I installed the latest version unRAID on a new USB stick and then I cp -r from the old /boot/config to the new /boot/config. The reall y unfortunate bit is the original USB is gone. It fell out of my picket at work at some point and I have no idea at what point. I do have all the original cfg files and plugins copied to a folder on my desktop however. I can post the diagnostic when I get home later this evening. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my thread.

I updated the to the latest version of unRAID and proceeded to restore all my cfg and plugin files via ssh. However, everything is wrong. My shares are completely gone, it has the drives in the incorrect order on the array including one drive as parity that was not a parity drive ever before. Even in the Main tab it says each disk has only 10gb of data on them when it should be close to 1-2 tb. I'm a photographer and my entire back catalogue exists only on that array. It would be the end of the world if it disappeared but I would be saddened quite a bit.
