Is my flash drive defective?

[oeci]

Recently my Unraid server (6.10.3) shut itself down. I can restart it but eventually it will shut itself down again. Today I tried to fix the issue and realized that there are a few issues with the server:

 

• I cannot update Unraid to the latest version. Instead I get the following message:
  writing flash device - please wait...
  Archive: /tmp/unRAIDServer.zip
  plugin: run failed: /bin/bash retval: 1
   
• I cannot update any of the plugins. Depending on the plugin I get various error messages (two examples):
  Warning: copy(/boot/config/plugins/dynamix.unraid.net.plg): failed to open stream: Read-only file system in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/scripts/plugin on line 647
  plugin: dynamix.unraid.net.plg updated

• When I click on Apps it wants me to install the Community Applications plugin (which should already be installed). Doing so fails with the following error message:
  downloading: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Squidly271/community.applications/master/archive/community.applications-2022.12.03-x86_64-1.txz ... failed (Generic error)

Seriously I don't know what's wrong. Should I replace the USB stick? Or is there something else I need to  do? Thanks in advance for your help.

First try recreating the flash drive, backup first, if that fails then replace it.

I recreated the flash drive and so far it's working again. Let's hope it stays that way. Thanks for your help 👍
