March 10, 20242 yr Hello community, I recently set up Unraid on a new system. Worked like a charm. Since yesterday I can't boot anymore. dosfsck reported some inconsistencies and resolved them, but I still cannot boot from the USB drive. Some strange I/O error and the partition is not mounted as it should... I have a backup from 5 days ago but I don't want to use it because a lot changed in the last 5 days. Since the USB drive is fully readable here's my question: Can I copy all the data on the USB drive, flash the drive and copy back all my data or do I need to flash the backup from 5 days ago?
March 10, 20242 yr Solution You can also try running make_bootable on the flash drive via windows (run as administrator) What you need to backup and move to the new flash if necessary is the contents of /config
March 10, 20242 yr Author Hey Squid, thank you for your quick reply. When I plugged in the USB drive on my Windows PC it was able to repair the discrepancy on the drive. I can now boot Unraid again. I also made a new drive and copied the /config directory but luckily I'm not gonna need that anymore. Thank you! Problem solved
