April 30, 20251 yr Yesterday, I had a parity disk die unceremoniously. Today, I woke up to a corrupt flash drive. I am about to replace it. Unfortunately, I cannot get any diagnostics, right now, as it is dead. 2 quick questions for those smarter than I, 1. any pitfalls to look out for when replacing the flash drive (I did read the docs about it) and, 2. could this have had any impact on yesterday's dead parity disk situation.
April 30, 20251 yr do you have a flash drive backup with the disk config? If not the pitfall will be trying to recreate your disk array to regenerate the parity disk. if you did or can still read the flash drive copy the config folder off it now to get and keep the unriad instance. as you can make a new Unrad USB and copy your config folder over and have a copy of the configurations, settings, disk configuration, docker templates...etc saved and usable on the new flash drive. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/changing-the-flash-device/ review: https://docs.unraid.net/legacy/FAQ/parity-swap-procedure/

May 1, 20251 yr Author Yeah, I followed the changing flash drive guide. Unfortunately, The flash drive was totally toast, so I couldn't copy it and my latest flash backup was too old to trust. However, I did have all the disk assignments, so recreating the array was trivial. Everything, array related, seems good at the moment. The thing I am struggling with now is getting Plex back in order, no easy feat, I will tell you, as I am switching docker containers, and it is not happy with the previous app data.
