Updated to 6.11.3 - Flash drive was reported as broken - extra boot fixed everything

My server had an uptime of over 200 days so I rebooted it first. Everything went fine.

 

Upgraded to 6.11.3 and was greeted by a "please enter new root password dialog". Entered the password I had previously, got in. All settings were missing.

 

Proceeded to panic, got a diagnostics dump out.

 

As a hail mary I rebooted once more. Again got greeted by the "new root password" dialog. Now everything is just fine.

What happened? 😅

Flash drive problems:

 

Nov 10 10:25:55 Tower kernel: FAT-fs (sda1): Directory bread(block 37377) failed
Nov 10 10:25:55 Tower kernel: FAT-fs (sda1): Directory bread(block 37378) failed
Nov 10 10:25:55 Tower kernel: FAT-fs (sda1): Directory bread(block 37379) failed
Nov 10 10:25:55 Tower kernel: FAT-fs (sda1): Directory bread(block 37380) failed

 

It dropped offline, might have been a one-time thing, but make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port.

It failed again, this time mid-run. Reboot fixed it again.

Got a flash backup this time, I'm smart that way 😀

Need to figure out why it's suddenly started dropping after working perfectly for almost a year, now I have a working backup at least if I need to replace it.
