Unable to access flash drive

Featured Replies

Unraid 16.11.3

 

I am trying to access my flash drive from my mac by simply clicking the Unraid server in the Network section of my Finder window and then clicking "Flash" but I am getting the error "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “flash” can’t be found." Looking at the top of the Finder window it says that I am connected as "Guest," however when I try to connect as "root" it does nothing at all (I am unsure if this is the issue since I can view the rest of the server without logging in as "root" at this time). The reason I am trying to access the Flash drive is because I want to confirm that I have a current config/super.dat before I move my drives into a new server. Thanks

Have you checked that the flash drive has been exported in its SMB settings?

 

You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread.

I changed security from Private to Secure, and now it works. That being said, I do not seem to have a config folder on the flash drive. What should I do to find it and make sure my server is set up correctly before I transfer all the drives? Diagnostics are attached. Thanks a ton.

Config folder should exist from the beginning, post the output of

ls -lh /boot

That screenshot shows you DO have config folder on the flash drive.

  • Author

That's what it looks like to me as well, but why do I not see it when browsing the drive? I am using the standard finder in mac to look at the folders. I also looked at hidden files, but there is no folder called config. I just don't want an issue backtracking to make the move to a new server work, I would like to be as close to certain that everything will be a smooth transition. Thank you for the help, you are all awesome.

Look more like a Mac problem, do you see all the other folders or only the files? Try with a PC or Android device if available.

Ill see if I can boot up an old PC and check.
