May 10, 20251 yr Just thought that I would post this. My unRAID USB Flash Drive died this morning on COLOSSUS which was running version 7.0.1. It was a 32GB Samsung USB 3.1 Flash Bar. It ran great for a couple of years, no complaints. The process for replacement was very easy to follow. Just go to unRAID Connect and download the flash backup, use the USB Creator Tool and install the backup file to a new flash drive. This time I chose a 32GB Sandisk Cruzer drive that I used for a previous build. Reset the boot option in BIOS and I was backup and online in no time. I just had to go through and set the root password, register to the new flash drive, and then reset user account passwords. At the same time I upgraded to 7.1.1. Life is great again!!! Thanks goes out the unRAID Team for making running unRAID enjoyable.

I recommended upgrading to v7.1.2 sooner then latter to fix a potential mover data loss situation. you can always contact support when having license issues. Per Limettech: This is a small but important release, resolving a potential data-loss issue in 7.1.0 and 7.1.1 where the recent "mover empty disk" feature does not handle split levels on shares correctly.
