Goodmorning all,
First of all, I'm a very happy UNRAID user since 16-6-2021. So a n00b still.
I mostly use it for some game servers (Docker) and Home Assistant (VM).
Last week I went on vacation and shut everything down. (Official way via Unraid UI, I did not just pull plugs).
When I came back last Friday, my server would not boot. Gave me the "Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)"
Did some searching in these forums, Reddit, etc. Find some usefull info, but I could not fine exactly what I want:
How to get my "old" config folder on a new flashed Unraid USB?
Actions taken and further info:
- Tried to "Fix" the USB Stick via Win 11 chkdsk. But it won't touch RAW formated Disks.
- Wouldn't check the USB stick via "properties", only gives the option to format it first.
- Partially backed up the USB Stick. Wouldn't copy the bzroot or any other bz files. I was able to back up the config folder.
- After trying to backup, It seems I cannot acces the folders/files on the USB stick anymore.
- Tried flashing another USB to make sure it's not server hardware related, booted fine.
- Following this guide: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/changing-the-flash-device/ I should be able to get a new key and render my old USB unusable for Unraid ever again, which I'm fine with.
So I guess my USB stick got corrupted somehow.
My question is: How to get my "old" config folder on a new flashed Unraid USB?
Will there be problems with assigning of disks, or is it all saved in the config folder files?
Anything I need to make sure beforehand that I overlooked?
Thanks in advance. If I withheld some info by accident which is needed to answer my questions, please let me know.
