Upgrade from 5.0.6 to 6.0.1 - Doesn't read config files off flash

[nate.smith317]

I have a second flash drive, so I was planning on install 6.0.1 on it and using the upgrade path to upgrade my 5.0.6 server.  I formatted the drive, copied the unraid files over, ran make bootable.  No problems.  I then followed the instructions, copied the files in /config over to the new drive, as well as the  shares folder.  I took care to not overright the go file, I also copied my key over with /config. 

 

The system boots, then looks for DHCP (configured as static in the config), so I know it isn't picking up my config info.  No web gui starts as well...  Attached are screenhots of my drive setup.  Could my flash being NTFS have anything to do with it?  Any other ideas?

 

Thanks!

Also my flash drive is 64gig.

See the getting started guide where it states the USB drive must be formatted FAT (or FAT32) .... So yes your problem is probably because you have it formatted as NTFS.

All fixed...  Working on my plugins now.  Had a 64GB flash drive, needed to used:  http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/guiformat.exe

Nice find!  I've added a note about it to the Upgrading to UnRAID v6 guide.  Thanks!
