August 25, 20241 yr I've been having issues getting Unraid to boot lately. I finally got it to boot in safe mode however. Accessed it from another computer on my home network. While in safe mode, I have an error msg at the top of page saying "Your flash drive is corrupt or off-line", and it suggest I post my diagnostic file ... which I have done .. This is not the first time I have had this issue. Previously, I ended up changing and registering a new usb device . Not 100% sure this is the issue again, and would rather see if the diagnostics point to something else. Any assistance would be appreciated. Ps., if this is of any help, I did notice on boot up, the boot process will hang with the following approximate message: "waiting up to 30 seconds for device with label UNRAID to come online..." tower-diagnostics-20240825-1937.zip
August 25, 20241 yr Try and plug the USB into a windows PC if it finds errors let it repair them. Also try another USB port preferably a USB 2.0 port if you have one.
August 26, 20241 yr Author Checked the USB, initially it said there might be a problem when I plugged it into my pc, but after I let it scan it, nothing was found wrong. (I re-plugged it into the PC a bit later, and the same story.. issue, no issue. Also tried other USB ports, same issue. Edited August 26, 20241 yr by StephenCND
August 26, 20241 yr Author I did that about 6 months ago for what seems to be the same problem and again maybe 1 year before that. Are USB keys that prone to going bad? I've ordered a few USB drives of a different make (The ones I used before were the same make and model), just to rule out the possibility that I had a bad batch before. The latest update is that I cannot get in at all. The command line says something to the effect of starting OS, but the cursor just blinks and nothing happens. Nothing in the diagnostics that would point to something else? Also, does anyone know how many times I can swap out my license to a new USB key?
