When using the Unraid USB Creator tool to restore from a zip backup, I was required to re-enter network information (IP address, netmask, etc.). Upon inspecting the resulting network.cfg on the new USB key, I found that the values I entered were appended to the existing values from the backup rather than replacing them. This caused invalid network configuration such as: IPADDR="192.168.1.3""192.168.1.3"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0""255.255.255.0"and DNS_SERVER1="192.168.1.1"
DNS_SERVER1="192.168.1.1"
As a result, the system did not receive a valid IP address on boot, and I had to manually correct the network.cfg file. Steps to Reproduce: Use the Unraid USB Creator tool. Select the "custom" option to restore from zip backup Provide custom static network configuration. Flash the new USB key and inspect config/network.cfg. Expected Result: Network settings from the backup should either: Be cleared and replaced by the newly entered settings; or Be equivalent to the source zip Actual Result: Duplicate values were appended within a line and across lines, producing invalid entries in the config file. Environment: Unraid Version: 7.1.3 USB Creator Version: 1.0.1 OS: Windows 11 Suggested Fix: Ensure the USB Creator properly clears or replaces existing configuration values when applying new network settings during the restore-from-backup process.
