RichJacot Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) I awoke this morning with my log file full. It's been quite some time since that has happened. I've made no HW changes nor added any new docker/VMs in a long time either. In syslog I'm seeing a lot of kernel: SQUASHFS error: errors. I've never seen these before. I've googled some but most of what I'm finding is related to a bad USB flash boot device and they can't boot, which isn't my case. I haven't tried starting the array yet, I don't want to cause more issues. Can someone help me or point me where to dig deeper please? cube-diagnostics-20221006-0643.zip Edited November 11, 2022 by RichJacot (SOLVED) Quote Link to comment

Solution JorgeB Posted October 6, 2022 Solution Share Posted October 6, 2022 Looks like a flash drive problem. Quote Link to comment
RichJacot Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 Makes sense. I've downloaded the backup from my servers and put it on an old USB I had laying around. I have it up and running now, array not started yet. Obviously it's saying: Uptime 7 minutes • Unraid OS GUID Error Purchase Key I'd like to order a new quality USB (which I though I had but it only lasted 14 months). What's my best option to get this back online today and use a new one in a couple days? I see that it appears they let you transfer the lic. once a year. I really don't want to say on the old one I had laying around. It's of unknown age and quality. Suggestions for my next steps? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 You can do an automated key transfer then contact support for the other one. Quote Link to comment
RichJacot Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 Roger. Thank you! While I'm doing that does anyone have a better suggestion for a flash drive? I "HAD" a Samsung USB 3.1 FIT Plus 32GB. Any better/more reliable then 14 months out there? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Kingston DTSE9H The old USB 2.0 model, not the new DTSE9G2, that one is garbage. 1 Quote Link to comment
RichJacot Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 Ordered one and it will be here Tuesday the 18th. Array is up and all dockers started without issue. Thank you for your help JorgeB! 1 Quote Link to comment
