Got the following pop up today after a power outage.  is my USB toast ?

 

 

then i can not update an plugin i am assuming they can not write to USB any more. is there a chkdsk for the USB ?

Last thing my dockers work fine and my VMs i guess since they don't write to usb but the array

the error:


usualy means a dead USB. when USB die you are no longer able to write to them but can still read form them. It is time to replace that USB drive.

WebUI > Main > Flash download backup.

 

If you cant get a flashdrive backup see if you ca

cd /boot/ copy everything in here to a location to put on the new drive.

 

otherwise contact unriad support on usb license transfers and assistance.

some strange i shutdown the server and tried a different USB port and its working with no error 

but your right since i have it up and running time to run a full backup just in case in fails at any point

Cool, glad that it is working in another port. Yes 1-3 month is a general rule of thum. I woul recomend getting a backup sonner then latter given some earlier errors.

the forum has seen strange ness with usb3.0 ports its best to run unraid usb on usb2.0 ports. I sometimes get a dongle and throw it in the case to the motherbaords usb2.0 headers. https://a.co/d/8YHO8TB

Yea me to and the thing i am using USB 3.0 ports i thought they just would be faster for the read/write. I didn't know unRAID ran better on USB 2.0. I should switch to the USB2 on my next reboot.

And the dongle straight to the mobo does some like a sweet idea thanks. I also heard of people using USB DOMs. Its supposed to be really reliable just not the greatest write speeds but unRAID only needs USB2.
