dcal Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I upgraded Unraid from 6.12.6 to 6.12.8. When Unraid rebooted, it did not come up. After doing some troubleshooting, it appears that my USB is read-only. I read through the forums and tried to run checkdisk from Windows but Windows is unable to since it is ready only. I tried to use diskpart as part of Windows to disable Ready only but it hasn't worked. The USB isn't that old and it is a 64-GB SanDisk. How can I make it read-write? If I need to start over, how do I do that without losing my configurations and plugin configurations? I did take a backup of the USB before I upgraded. Any help would be appreciated.

trurl Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The config folder from your backup is all you need to get going again with your configuration on a new install. If you can reformat the original flash and use it you won't have to do the license transfer to a new flash Quote Link to comment
dcal Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Would the disk array settings also be included in that config folder? So all of the customized settings live in the config folder? Quote Link to comment

dcal Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 So I got a different brand new SanDisk USB drive (wanted to test this first before I wiped my original USB), installed Unraid 6.12.8, copied over my entire config folder from my backup to the new USB, and it will not boot up. It is coming up with an error during the boot process: "jq: error: Could not open file /boot/config/plugins/disklocation/disklocatoin.conf: No such file or directory exists" I checked that location from 2 different backups I had from the USB and neither of them have that file in that location.

JorgeB Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Delete the disk location plg file, it's a known issue with that plugin, you can then re-install the latest release, i believe it's resolved. Quote Link to comment
dcal Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Where is the disk location plg file location? I tried removing the entire disklocation folder but it is still looking for it. Quote Link to comment

dcal Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Thank you, I was able to boot up into Unraid! It appears I am unable to do anything to my original USB drive which has my license key on it. Is there any utility that could format it successfully? I have tried a few but no success. Looking at purchasing a replacement USB drive, any recommendations on what USB drives would work best? Reading through the forums, it is recommended to have USB2.0 and 32GB or less; that is hard to find these days. Any newer models? Quote Link to comment
