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!

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.

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

USB2 port is more reliable for Unraid boot device

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