segator Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hi guys, I a happy owner of unraid from 2 years ago. I played a lot with my server and install things that i shouldn't installed. this cause that now I see some errors related to plugins and VM-KVM web ui doesn't work i can't create VM. So I want to reinstall unraid but I don't want to lose data and shares. all the apps are dockerized so it's not a big deal to "reinstall the dockers" I don't care if I need to regenerate parity data, 1 month ago last parity check. Guys how I should do it? -I don't want lose data -I don't want lose shares -I don't want lose unraid Licence Thanks! Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Simplest thing is just to copy your .key file and do a clean install, after getting screenshots of any settings you want to use again. The only thing likely to cause any loss of data is if you assign one of your data disks to the parity slot. Quote Link to comment
RobJ Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 And if you also copy config/super.dat, you'll keep your drive assignments including parity. Copying config/disk.cfg should also be safe, has disk settings. If you copy config/share.cfg and the config/shares folder, you'll keep all your share settings. If you copy config/ident.cfg and config/network.cfg, you'll keep your network settings. Quote Link to comment
f3dora Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 It is a pretty old thread but can i just -Screenshot the the main tab in unraid and then set the same disks (serial number) for parity and disks. -Use the key link to download the license file again. EDIT: It worked! I just reinstalled it, selected the same disks for parity and disks (make sure that "parity is already valid" is activated), used the key file link to install the license again and everything works! It probably has nothing to do with reinstalling it but my SSH didn't work anymore. This fix worked: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=44291.msg422788#msg422788 Quote Link to comment
descoladan Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 @f3dora Question: After your reinstall were your apps and vms preserved as well? Quote Link to comment
