945rb Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Noticed some poor performance this morning, logged in to the UI and saw that my flash drive was missing. I plugged it into my Windows machine and it looks fine. I plugged it back in to my Unraid server, it mounted up on /dev/sdi1, and looks intact. The system is still running, but can't find the boot drive at /dev/sdb. Not sure what the root cause is, or what I should do next. Quote Link to comment
Solution itimpi Posted November 21, 2022 Solution Share Posted November 21, 2022 Sounds as if the flash drive dropped offline? The flash drive must stay online all the time Unraid is running, and Unraid cannot handle it not being present. If it drops offline then the only possible recovery action is to reboot the server.

trurl Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 USB2 port may be more reliable Quote Link to comment
Kilrah Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) There is a "Flash remount" plugin in CA that should attempt to remount it if it drops. Edited November 21, 2022 by Kilrah Quote Link to comment
945rb Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Thanks all. I was concerned that the drive was hosed and that I might lose something, but it wasn't. A reboot cleared this up. Quote Link to comment
