tzotz Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Guys, I tried to upgrade to version 6.9.0 - the upgrade seemed to be going fine and after completion it read "REBOOT SERVER" which I did. When the unraid did not start in 3-4 minutes I went to see the server monitor and I noticed that it's in an endless boot loop - I took a snapshot of the screen (see below) and thought that there was something wrong with the boot usb. I replaced it with a backup that I had and it booted fine but the backup disk configuration changed from the time the backup was taken. I have a record of the new configuration and I updated the configuration to reflect what I know the disks are (see below) - and that's when I stopped afraid to do damage the server irreparably. Questions: (1) did I do the right thing up to now? (2) if do how do I proceed (3) if not how do I proceed (4) how do I replace the damaged usb to create a new backup. Thanks for all your help. Best regards, tzotz Edited March 4, 2021 by tzotz Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Go to Tools -> New config Then re-assign all the disks as they should be, check "parity is already valid" before array start, start array. Quote Link to comment
tzotz Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hi, thanks, I'm sorry I don't quite understand the steps to be followed. Let me see if I understood: 1) First go to TOOLS-> New Config Preserve Current Assignments "None" check "I want to do this" then APPLY following that (2) re-assign disks (3) Start the array and check parity is already valid (4) Do parity check Appreciate your help, Thanks Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Correct, make sure you double check the assignments, most importantly don't assign any data disk to a parity slot. 1 Quote Link to comment
