Sorry for the late reply. I followed JorgeB's recommendation. Everything went pretty smoothly, and I'm currently at 21 days uptime. Thanks.

JorgeB Thanks for the reply. I have moved the flash drive to a different USB port and the same thing happened about a day later. I've got a new flash drive on order. Do I risk trying to copy the old flash drive to the new one or is their an alternate process? Thanks.

Hello- I'm running into the following issue....started a couple of days ago. I became aware that my Unraid server is offline. I reboot, but I get an error message stating that a boot device cannot be found. I'll go into the BIOS on my machine, and notice that the USB device is no longer available as a boot option. If I unplug the USB flash drive, and plug it back in, and reboot, it appears again. I need to set my BIOS to boot to the USB device, and I can get Unraid and the array re-started. No hardware changes were made and the machine has been running in this configuration since I deployed it back in August 2019. Here's the USB flash drive that I'm using: SanDisk Cruzer Fit 32 GB x2 = 64GB USB Flash Drive SDCZ33-032G-B35-2PK Any hints on how I can troubleshoot this issue? Thanks.

Final update- I ran my scheduled parity check, and it completed with no errors. Thanks to all on the thread for your help.

Got it. Thanks to all for the replies and the information.

Thanks for the reply. Does that imply that a device attached via unassigned devices as an example is not reliable to read/write data from/to?

Hi- Trying to get the UD preclear to work, but running into issues. I was able to install the UD preclear plugin and it does show up when I go to Tools>Disk Utilities>Preclear Disk. I clicked on the drive shown (which is attached to my tower running Unraid 6.12.8 via a USB 3.0 enclosure). I select Start Preclear text, and configure the pop up window as shown in the screenshot. After that, it appears to stall as the status of the preclear never changes from Starting Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

trurl / itimpi- Thanks for the replies. Next time, I'll know how to proceed. Thanks again for the help.

Parity check completed. Last check completed on Mon 11 Mar 2024 10:59:41 AM PDT (today) Duration: 19 hours, 39 minutes, 22 seconds. Average speed: 141.3 MB/s Finding 6 errors Diagnostics attached. Thanks. dlvtower-diagnostics-20240311-2237.zip

Makes sense. Thanks for the info...running correcting parity check now. Will post results when complete.

Thanks for the reply... I'll run the correcting parity check as recommended. Is it a good idea to shut down all docker containers, or just let the parity check run with them running? Thanks.

Posting an update. I was finally able to get some new SATA cables installed. Ran not correcting parity check and it returned 6 errors. Diagnostic log attached. How would I go about determining what the 6 sync errors are?

Sorry for late reply. I'll run a non-correcting check after I get the SATA cables swapped out. Thanks again for the help.

JorgeB- Got it. I'll work on ordering cables and run a parity check once I get them installed. If you wouldn't mind, could you point out what led you to believe that there were ATA errors in the log file? I'd like to learn more about troubleshooting these types of issues. Thanks. When I do perform the next parity check, should I select the box to write the corrections or leave it blank?

Thanks. See attached. tower-diagnostics-20240111-1823.zip
