March 24, 20251 yr I've made the plunge and tried to embrace Unraid. Things aren't going really well. - Started Trial on USBDisk1 - Trial Expired - Trial Extended - Formatted, Reinstalled to the SAME USBDisk1 (I'm quite sure on that part). During this process, I removed a 1tb Cache because it's a Cheap Temu Card, and it only has 1 port. A 1tb disk isn't big enough for me to utilize with Unraid (effectively, I get punished for having many small disks. I just don't think that a cache disk should count as a 'storage device'. ) I did a complete destruction of my Data - At this point, I was still in my trial extension - License Purchased, I thought that would apply it, but it didn't - When I realized the license wasn't working, I tried to apply the Activation Code (not a file, just the code) - COPIED (not moved) my data from WS2 and WS3 to Unraid3. I still have the data - Trial Expired - I tried to apply the license 2-3 times additionallly I don't know how things are supposed to work I just need to demonstrate that Unraid is STABLE enough to DELETE the data I copied from 4-6 directories on WS2+WS3. At this point, I've had 2 RELATIVELY major problems with unraid, and I don't trust it enough to move forward. How can I REALLY determine 'if my license has ACTUALLY been applied' If my license HAS been applied, then can't I call Unraid for Tech Support?

You can also post the diagnostics for us to see if there's a flash drive issue.

March 24, 20251 yr Author Yes. I have another copy. But this is paid software, I need to be able to rely on it. I'll go hit the 'Contact Support' button I guess. I don't understand your words, sorry. My first attempt, I couldn't figure out how to use single-parity. I can't afford to spend HALF of my storage budget on Parity. It took me forever to figure out how to do this properly. I hit TOOLS > DIAGNOSTICS and it's giving me a 404 error. I just tried it twice via TOOLS > DIAGNOSTICS I even dialed in via putty and tried to do it at the CLI. nothing but errors
