I'm running 5.5 and everything was working well with my 8 drives (also included parity/cache), but I had an extended power outage and when the system came back online, all the drives were set to 'unassigned', except the cache drive.  I was able to assign all the drives as they were originally, and brought the array back on...but later I forced a reboot and once again the system came back online with all unassigned drives (except cache). 

 

I look at the syslog and it's basically empty (I see no boot time info), and as a sidenote, my dynamix gui was completely gone.  I tried to check the plugins folder and was receiving 'access denied' when trying to put updated files into the plugin folder on my flash drive.  I couldn't delete the existing files in there either.

 

Anyone know where I might troubleshoot this in more detail?  Does it sound like a corrupt flash drive, or is there a good way to verify that, or run a 'checkdsk' against it from the unraid OS?

 

Thanks,

Pete

Put the flash drive in your PC and run checkdisk on it.

Thanks! that got it to at least be able to save the config when I rebooted... looks like whatever happened now lets me access the files properly without those 'access denied' errors as well.  I had to reinstall dynamix, but no big deal on that step..

 

Is the PC the only way to validate the flash drive?  It worked, but just surprised there's not a similar command in the unraid OS...
