Hi All,

 

I got a warming this morning about my USB stick not being writable so went through the steps outlined

 

https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/changing-the-flash-device/#:~:text=Obtain a new good quality,important

 

1. Took a backup
2. Used USB Creator to write onto new stick

 

When rebooting with the new stick It gave me a bzmodules checksum error. Looking at the backup and the recreated USB Stick the checksum error is definitely off. Looks like a mismatch for bzfirmware too.

 

So what do I do now?

 

Should I use the USB Creator to build a fresh v.7.0.0 USB stick then copy over my "config" directory?

 

I suppose I'm at risk of some of the files in config being off too. Are there any specific critical ones I should check?

 

I did find this forum thread which indicates the above steps should be OK but just wanted to be sure as I'm not running the latest UNRaid.

Thanks

 

 

Also I took two backups this morning about an hour apart and the bzmodule checksum was different between both. So the old drive is likely dead.

Test like this first to see if it boots:

If that doesn't boot, then try SAFE mode to eliminate plugins

That worked thanks.

 

The replacement documentation probably needs to be upgraded slightly to suit modern 7.x UnRAID as things were a little different.

 

I also hit a snag as I had 3x keys on there which Unraid had a hissy fit about.

• Trial Key - From 2018
• Plus key - from 2018 - When I first purchased UnRAID
• Pro key - from 2024 - When I upgraded unRAID licence.

I had to remove the Trial and Plus keys from the USB Drive and restart before I could see the "Replace Key" option for the new USB Stick.
