May 26, 20242 yr Hi all! I still a newb with Unraid. I made the mortal mistake of removing an external hard drive without unmounting it by accident. Now when I plug it in, it won't let me access files to transfer to my main hard drives with Krusader. I'm scared to reboot because I don't want to lose the data on my hard drives as one time I did that and lost everything. I'd love any solutions or help! Thank you for reading this!

But yeah, reboot is the official solution. Usually doing a manual unmount of the stale mountpoint in the terminal works to avoid it. If you do a 'mount' to list mounts you should see it in /mnt/disks and be able to 'umount' it.

Is there a way to reboot without losing data on my drives? I don't have parity set up yet. I have the hard drive, but I've been nervous to set it up because I don't want to lose data! Sorry for being a newbie and I appreciate your advice and help!
May 27, 20242 yr Community Expert Just rebooting won't make you lose and data that is already on the drives.
May 27, 20242 yr Community Expert Nobody loses data when rebooting, if you do there would be something very wrong with the setup or hardware, so you'd have to be clear about what is lost to troubleshoot.
