Usually directory bread errors are because the system thinks the drive was pulled out then reinserted. 

 

I used to get them intermittently on my machine, until I disabled USB3 support and made sure the stick was in a USB2 port.

 

btw the unRaid is going to want to do a parity check when you reboot since it can't save the info to the flash drive

 

But it could also be that the stick itself is kaput.

anyway to test the flash drive?

Beyond seeing if it works by putting it into a machine, I don't think so....  Although, I suppose you could throw it into you windows machine, run chkdsk on it (to look for corruption), but everytime I've seen the error its always been port related.  Whether USB3 was enabled in BIOS, etc.  try a different port, ideally a USB2 one

it has been fine for almost a year, then today all of a sudden....it's a supermicro onboard A slot

As suggested earlier, run chkdsk on a Windows machine and report the results back here.  (There is a simple program on Apple computers but I do not know what Apple calls it. )

i was hoping for a solution without pulling the server out of the rack and opening it up!

Just wanted to comment here that I was having the same issue, the flash drive would continuously disconnect and re-connect.  I solved this by moving to one of he usb2 connections as suggested.

 

Sadly the ports behind the lock on my server are all 3.0 so not the drive is accessible, but it is a micro drive and the back of the server is hard to get to so I will live.

 

Thanks for the help!
