March 20, 20215 yr I was not getting Plex to work and went to the Unraid server and it showed no discs or Docker apps. I tried to do a normal shut down and it would not work. I tried to print a diagnostic report and that did not work either. The server now shows no operating system and wont boot up. Anyone have any ideas? did I just lose all of my movie library?
March 20, 20215 yr Author I tried it on my other PC and got: "failed to load ldlinux.c32 boot failed:please change disks and press any key"
March 20, 20215 yr Community Expert Put the flash drive in your desktop/laptop and see if there are any files there or if it's mostly empty, I hope it's not the case here but there have been an abnormal number of hacked users with wiped flash drives and servers in the last few days, it this keeps happening we need to find out what they have in common.
March 20, 20215 yr Author You were right. When I put it in,it says unraid and there is nothing on it. Does that mean i have lost all my movie files? What do I do next?

March 20, 20215 yr Author No back ups I have the unRAID Server OS Registration Key flash GUID key in the email they sent

I just had this happen today too
March 20, 20215 yr Author So do we just download the unraid software back on to the empty usb stick and reinsert into the server and power up?

Your license key only works with the flash drive it was registered with. If you can't use that flash drive, copy the key anyway and then you can transfer the license to the new flash.

If you accidentally assign a data disk to the parity slot that data will be overwritten with parity. 12 minutes ago, trurl said: disk4 was missing and disabled. Why was that disk missing?

Why was that disk missing? 5 minutes ago, vid1953 said: I did, should be three 3TB drives and one 4TB drive and i believe the 4TB may be the parity drive Since parity can't be smaller than any data drive parity is obviously the largest disk as seen in the disk assignments I already posted. You say "I did" in response to the question of whether you had a disk4, but 4TB parity (disk0) and 3x3TB data disks (disk1,disk2,disk3) still doesn't answer the question about disk4. Did you have a disk4 assigned at some point but removed it?
March 21, 20215 yr Author I did try to use an external drive some time ago. It would not connect so i disconnected it. That could by why. When I start up the server will it tell me which drive is 4TB? Then when assigning the others, they can be any disc number?
March 21, 20215 yr Community Expert When you assign the disks, refer to the assignments I already posted above. The serial numbers are clearly listed in those posts, and those same serial numbers will appear in the drop down selections for each disk. Just match them up and you should be good. 21 minutes ago, vid1953 said: I did try to use an external drive some time ago. If you assigned a disk4 in the past, but then removed it, then your server has been waiting for you to replace it all that time, and so you had no parity protection since you already had a missing disk. What about that SSD I mentioned? 33 minutes ago, trurl said: Your diagnostics also showed a 120GB SSD attached but not assigned. How was that disk used?
