Greetings!

 

I setup Unraid several years ago and have run it without too much headache.  Thanks for the stability!

 

Today, I encountered what I thought would be my first huge headache.  The system has had several changes since the initial build in 2018/2019, disk and CPU changes, without issue.  I started out with an Athlon 200GE, then upgraded to a Ryzen with more cores.  Yesterday, I noticed that all cores were topping out and I figured it was because I had let an Unmanic docker container run since the weekend.  It became an issue when the network connection kept dropping, so I turned down the container, but the CPU stayed topped out.  About two hours ago, I decided to perform a shutdown since it had been almost 200 days since I had last done so.  The system became unreachable, but stayed powered on after a half hour of waiting, so I powered down manually.

 

Upon powerup, had a kernel panic, so I wiped my flash drive, then wrote the latest version of Unraid to it and copied my configuration over.  It's the same flash drive that I'd been using since 2018/2019 when I initially began using Unraid.  This allowed me to boot, get online, and everything seems to be functioning as it should.

 

I had been seeing the FCP error for a corrupted flash drive since I had installed FCP years ago, so I always ignored it.  Now, the message is always on-screen.  I can choose to click ignore, but I figured I probably should ask since I don't have any idea of how flash.cfg should look like versus what mine is.

 

By this point, I've got family photo, film, VHS, and digital video archives going back to the 1960s and while I keep some of it backed up, it is getting quite costly to keep that data safe, so I've been trusting Unraid a bit more than I'd like to.  I was hoping to automatically convert the older formats to H.265 to try and save space and make backing up not so costly.  A lot of the film had already started turning pink when I scanned it, so some of it would be permanently gone.  I'd hate to lose data because I'd been neglecting something that could be fixed with a new flash drive.

 

Thank you!

You flash.cfg file is a simple text file so you could probably look at it with a text editor.    You could always try restoring it to the default one that comes with a fresh install..
