October 31, 2025Oct 31 I had an unRaid server over 10 years ago. Looks like it was version 4.5.4. The server had the OS on a USB drive, which I no longer have. All I want to do at this point is to get the data off of the drives. Is there any easy way to do this? I'm happy to upgrade to the latest version, but I don't think the drives in my server are in the same order they were way back then. Any help would be greatly appreciated!TIA - Mike
October 31, 2025Oct 31 Community Expert You can start a new Unraid trial with a new flash drive and use it to mount the old drives, 7.2.0 can still read Reiserfs, but most likely the next release won't.
October 31, 2025Oct 31 Author Thank you - I will try that. Is there any way that the drives can be read from Windows using a USB hard drive connector?

Not sure if that is available if you enable WSL2 in Windows since it is a standard Linux file system.
