I've had unraid 6.8.3 set up and working for quite some time and everything was fine.  I went on the Web UI and clicked Apps and it said something along the lines of "FATAL FLASH DRIVE ERROR".  

 

I rebooted the server and the Web UI is not working.  The server is still on the same IP address as before, but when I try to access it I get a "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED".  

 

I am able to access the GUI mode, but when I try to access the Web UI from there, I am unable to do so.  `localhost` server does not seem to be running.  I checked `nginx` in terminal and it gave me an error regarding SSL cert.  https://i.imgur.com/bcRgmHW.jpg

 

I checked that the `/boot` drive is attached, but when trying to access it, it does not appear to have anything there:  https://i.imgur.com/HZRpmZA.jpg

 

The server seems to be healthy otherwise with plenty of ram and stuff, so that's probably not an issue.  https://i.imgur.com/0Z0kPIf.jpg

 

My array does not start automatically when the server reboots, so I cannot access any of my files.  I need them for work, so I need to fix this ASAP.  Is this a flash drive issue?  It has been plugged in the server for months now and I haven't done anything to it.  How do I figure out if the flash drive is the issue?  

 

Is there a way to start the array at least from the terminal, I need access to my shares.  Please help 😭😭

Put flash in PC and checkdisk. While there make backup. 

 

Try again, boot from USB2 port 

OK, long story short, I tried the old USB drive in a bunch of different ports on other computers until it worked.  I then copied the config folder over to a new unraid flash drive.  It's doing a parity check now, so I think things are going to be OK.  Thanks for the help.
