January 15, 201610 yr Is this a case where I need to pull the flash drive check it on a windows box?

January 15, 201610 yr Yes, or you can try rebooting your server as we attempt to repair issues with flash drives automatically during the boot process.

January 15, 201610 yr Author no dice. tried a number of things, clearing from diskpart etc. Nothing seems to resolve the issue
January 15, 201610 yr Author could I have a bad USB? I mean could it have just randomly gone bad? I even went as far as trying to format it without luck. Only other option is a live cd into gparted to try and format. this sucks. All started when unraid was trying to unmount shares. was stuck unmounting for 30 minutes before I killed it manually.
January 15, 201610 yr Author I know things are broken when every time my server boots, it wants to check parity because the last check it ran is not logged. Is there any way to confirm my flash is really borked? Just checking before starting the process to replace my key.
January 15, 201610 yr Are you sure there isn't a write protect switch on it? Not usually but I have seen this "feature". If you can't format it then get another one.
