August 20, 20214 yr hello it would seem that after a short power out with the UPS kicking in I get a flash device error. i scanned it with windows and no errors are on the disk not sure what wrong. do i have a Fatal flash drive error when i open app page on the server. please help.
August 20, 20214 yr Community Expert Not quite sure what you have done? Are you saying you can no longer boot from the flash drive? What you said implies you might have removed the flash drive while UnRaid was running? You cannot do this without upsetting UnRaid - the flash drive must be plugged in all the time Unraid is running.
August 20, 20214 yr Unless the USB port you're plugged into lost power (highly unlikely) during the power cut, it wasn't related. You probably only noticed it when going to the Apps tab. Use a different port, ideally USB2. And as itimpi stated, you cannot pull the flash drive out without first shutting down the server
August 20, 20214 yr Author no i had a power outage and ups kicked in and no flash drive is not recognized seems like my usb is failed? what would you recommend to get my back up and running

August 20, 20214 yr Community Expert Do you have a backup of the flash drive? Can you see it’s contents when plugged into Windows?

August 20, 20214 yr Prepare a new flash drive as usual, then copy the config folder from your backup to the new drive overwriting all.

August 20, 20214 yr I personally like the SE9 USB 2.0 version, but they are getting harder to find. https://amzn.com/dp/B01MRIEOHR/
August 20, 20214 yr Community Expert Kingston DTSE9H (not the DTSE9G2), avoid any USB 3.0 flash drive, they can fail much more.

August 20, 20214 yr Do you have a current list of the drive serial numbers and which slots they were assigned to?

August 20, 20214 yr Community Expert Your license only works with the original flash drive it was registered to. You have to transfer the license. 3 hours ago, smithrmark said: The registered GUID does not match the USB Flash boot device GUID Post a screenshot
