July 6, 20223 yr Newbie here. when my server boots up I see file like this "422:c3/00" and they go on and on and on and then at the bottom it says "Not automatically fixing this" I have no idea what this is or how to get rid of it. Any help would really appreciative.
July 6, 20223 yr Author Yes it completes boot, and I did back up the flash. This has been going on for some time now everything runs fine but I getting more and more file or folders on my flash drive and at the bottom it says " Not Automatically Fixing This" Makes me think I did something to cause this but I have no Idea what.
July 6, 20223 yr Community Expert Why are you installing all of NerdPack? Do you even know what most of that is for? I recommend only installing those things from NerdPack that you use frequently.

July 7, 20223 yr Author Nerd pack was a recommended plugin to install when I was setting up this server. I tried to uninstall it afterwards and it took my server with it. so I just leave it alone. I use perl and maybe something else. how do I remove it without messing up my server ?
July 7, 20223 yr Community Expert Except for the .REC files that looks normal. Those files (a few months old) are due to trying to fix corruption on the flash drive, similar to checkdisk in Windows. The message you are getting during boot is probably saying it isn't going to try to fix it. Put flash in your PC and see if it can fix it. You can delete those .REC files. Or you can reformat it, prepare it as a new install, and copy the config folder from your backup. config folder is all you need to get your configuration back on a new install.
July 7, 20223 yr Community Expert Just now, itwonttakelong said: Nerd pack was a recommended plugin to install when I was setting up this server. I tried to uninstall it afterwards and it took my server with it. so I just leave it alone. I use perl and maybe something else. how do I remove it without messing up my server ? You can leave it installed, but you should go to its settings and remove (uncheck) all the packages you don't use. Uninstalling it shouldn't mess up your server though. Maybe just a symptom of your flash problems. You can manually delete config/plugins/Nerdpack folder and config/plugins Nerdpack.plg from flash drive and it won't be loaded next time you boot.
April 9, 20233 yr I'm experiencing exactly the same issue, and booting takes much longer (maybe 5 minutes) than my other Unraid server. I have included the results of the command 'ls -lah /boot', and attached my diagnostics zip. I would be grateful if someone could check these, and let me know if I should also follow trurl's recommendations. Note that unlike the original poster, I have no '.rec' files.

April 9, 20233 yr I just ran scandisk on the USB drive in my Windows PC, but it found no errors. After error-checking I re-inserted it in the Unraid server, and boot time was about 9 minutes.
April 9, 20233 yr Solved - I used the USB Creator tool to recreate the USB stick - no change. Then I followed these instructions which resolved this issue - boot time is now about 2 minutes
