johnnykilo Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I getting an error message in the dashboard of "Unraid OS - flash device error". I am attaching syslog messages and diagnostics. Please let me know if anything else is needed. Thanks, jordan-diagnostics-20230416-2135.zip jordan-syslog-20230417-0236.zip Quote Link to comment
Solution itimpi Posted April 17, 2023 Solution Share Posted April 17, 2023 According to the diagnostics the flash drive has dropped off-line (or failed). You will need to reboot (possibly with a power-cycle) to rectify this. If you can while doing this I would plug the flash drive into a PC/Mac to check i can be read correctly (and make a backup if you do not already have one). If you have a choice of ports on the server use a USB2 one in preference to a USB3 one as they tend to be more reliable. Quote Link to comment
johnnykilo Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 well that was embarrassingly simple, reboot did the trick. I was worried about rebooting if the USB drive was dead Thanks! Quote Link to comment
