July 25, 20232 yr I was updating my unraid server via the ui, but on reboot my flash drive isn't detected and I can't start my server. If I reinstall unraid on my flash drive, is there a way to re-add my drives to the array on the new install while maintaining the data on the drives? I was using a parity drive, however, I actually don't know which specific drive is mapped in what order in my array. I did have a backup of my config.... but it was stored on my array and I don't know how to access it without having my server running.
July 25, 20232 yr Community Expert First thing. Shut the server down by pushing the power button. Try a quick one-second push. If that doesn't work, push and hold from about ten seconds. Then remove the flash drive and plug it into your PC. Then make a backup of everything that you can off of that drive. The /config folder/directory is the really important piece that you are after. Post up the results of this action. Let us know if you could copy the contents of the /previous folder.
