Esteban4u Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Hello All, I'm running Unraid 6.12.4 and for some unknown reason the Flash device I use to boot up Unraid became unformatted. I was able to still recover the \config folder from it but I didn't trust the drive anymore so I created another Flash boot device with a new flash drive. I used an older backup of the original Flash device to create the new Flash device and I copied the recovered \config folder from the old Flash device. After replacing the key file everything is working again but on the Main tab of Unraid, the new Flash has a red X next to it indicating that it's being emulated: . Does anyone know how this can be fixed ? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Not sure what is going on because the flash drive cannot be emulated - may be a misleading error message. Quote Link to comment

This made me wonder if parity is kept for the flash drive just as it is for the main array. Quote Link to comment

Solution Esteban4u Posted January 31 Author Solution Share Posted January 31 I discovered the issue had to do with a bad USB port on my motherboard. Once I moved the flash drive to a different USB port, the unformatting issues stopped. Quote Link to comment
