jvlarc Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Hello, So my 2nd USB Drive (SanDisk Ultra Flair) died after barely 4 months of usage after replacing my first USB Drive which was corrupted too. So anyway I just got a replacement USB Drive and am wondering how long it'll take for Lime Tech Support to issue me a new replacement key? Have sent them an email yesterday night, would love to get it back up and running ASAP especially with family and friends asking about what happened to PleX. Also I seem to be having some issues accessing the App store, telling me there isn't any connection, is this normal? Quote Link to comment
Kingedgar Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I'm currently in the same boat just now. A bit discouraging that they haven't responded to your email sent last night. Turns out I'm 2.5 weeks away from being able to replace it. Hoping someone stops in and answers. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment
DesertCookie Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Looking at how I had a brand new flash drive fail after just a month I'm worried I'll be in a similar situation too at some point. With all the issues I'm having I'm wondering why I didn't stay with Windows Storage Spaces. Quote Link to comment
Hoopster Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 You can run the trial on a new USB flash drive with a copy of your current configuration while waiting for Limetech. Nothing is lost with a trial but there is the requirement to be connected to the Internet when you boot the server. For whatever it is worth, I have had the same unRAID flashdrive for nine years and through four motherboard/USB port changes. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 All my flash drives have also had years of use. I suspect that many people starting out on Unraid go for the newer USB3/USB3.x type flash drives not realizing they provide no real speed advantage when used with unRaid , tend to be far less reliable; and typically cost more than USB2 drives Quote Link to comment
jvlarc Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Sorry just saw this after one long night of reconfiguring my unRAID server. yes someone from limetech did issue me a new license shortly after sending them my new flash drive's GUID. However, now I'm having some issues as it seems my parity drive isn't recognized in the array and Disk 1 shows up as Unmountable : No file system Any help would be appreciated! Though most files would basically be linux ISOs on Disk 1 and *Cross fingers* I've had most of the important files backed up on my office NAS. Also I'm having some issues with my configuration as it seems I'm unable to map & connect to my 10Gbe network on windows. Not sure if this is the right place, but have uploaded my diagnostic files here toochongclan-diagnostics-20210204-1158.zip Quote Link to comment
