I already tried this (

)

 

and wanted to ask if this (

)  temporary fix is still the right way to handle the problem?

I perform itimpi's solution (I overwrite the bz files with those from the zip file) and then it boots fine. However, the problem eventually happens again. I didn't make any changes nor add any plugins.

 

Othewise i need help please!

USB2 port is more reliable for Unraid boot device

Thanks, but this is the output if i try to boot from the USB2 port:

I think it has to be something very obvious. And i am just not getting it.

Make sure you remove that since it no longer works.

 

This is usually a flash drive problem, try using a different one.

Thank you for your answer. Should i just copy and paste the existing files on flash drive into another? 

 

No, create a new flash drive, confirm it boots first, and if yes, restore only the /config folder from the old one.

Could you send me a link to a stable 6.12.6 version where i can create the flash drive on?

Not available in the archive https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/download_list/

 

But why not 6.12.13  ?

I found some versioning in the old drive and it said 6.12.6 so i thought, in order to not break anything, i will take the same version. Or is there no difference ?

 

I already secured the config folder and tried to fix the old flash drive by scanning and repairing it. But the scan did not find any errors.

Should be fine and preferable to use the latest stable.

Thank you guys! The solution was to use a new Flash Drive, SanDisks are just meh for using UNRAID! 

I've been using Sandisk USB2 flash on both of my servers for many years and neither have failed.

Speed is unimportant in this usage. Not much data read or written, and mostly at boot time.
