August 18, 20214 yr Hi guys, Last night I noticed that my plex app couldn't connect to my server, and guessed the docker container wasn't running. When I booted up the unraid web UI, I saw that the USB drive was throwing out a red error saying it was not read/write (some wording similar to that), and I decided to backup the USB drive and try to recover Unraid on a new USB drive (the old one had been in service for a few years and was old to begin with), and I followed the directions to restore it via downloading the Unraid USB creator for windows and chosing the local files. However, when I tried to boot from that flash drive, it would boot up to the Unraid boot menu (Terminal, GUI, SafeTerminal, SafeGUI, Memtest), count down from 5, and then begin the count again. Choosing terminal would reset the timer, and choosing GUI would make the screen flash and return to the same boot menu (so it was boot looping). The next thing I tried was setting the flashdrive up for 6.9.2 via the tool, which worked fine, and copying over my backed up config folder. However, when I do that, it says the network is unreachable (and I believe it also did this without copying over my config files and keeping it in DHCP in the usb creation menu). The only time I got it to boot up just fine with a fresh unraid install was setting it up for a static IP (which is something I do anyways), but it lacked my arrays and docker configurations. When I tried to copy over my network configs from the Unraid usb that actually booted and docker configs from my old backup, it takes me to login but my backed up login info (which worked on the backedup restored USB which didn't have network) nor the default root and no password worked. I have also tried each of these setups on two different drives so I'm fairly certain it's not all these drives I'm working with being bad. I think my backed up USB file is a bit too far gone and I really would like to avoid starting over from scratch with my docker containers, so if anyone has any idea how to transplant just that without breaking (or if the fact doing that breaks the whole setup means it's too far gone), I would greatly appreciate the help.
