March 16, 201610 yr My flash drive since I first started running Unraid is missing the Boot folder and only has the following config/plugins/preclear.disk/ instead of /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/ I am not and don't experience any problems but is the boot folder necessary ?
March 16, 201610 yr Community Expert My flash drive since I first started running Unraid is missing the Boot folder and only has the following config/plugins/preclear.disk/ instead of /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/ I am not and don't experience any problems but is the boot folder necessary ? There has never been a boot folder on the flash drive! I suspect you are getting confused with the /boot mount point used for the flash drive so that when viewed from the Linux level the flash drive contents appear under /boot.
March 16, 201610 yr Author I guess maybe I misunderstood being a Linux newbie. When I saw /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/ I took for granted this meant it was in a boot directory/folder even though when I opened the flash drive there was no Boot directory Thanks
March 16, 201610 yr For new users, the FAQ, unRAID Console and Addon Questions section can be helpful. It's a little old though, may have obsolete info, but the basics of Linux should be fine.

Thanks for this RobJ It was there all the time if I only had looked "In Linux, the root folder of a drive is accessed through the 'mount point', with the path of the mount point. Disk 3 is mounted at /mnt/disk3, so the path of the root folder of Disk 3 is /mnt/disk3. The files in the flash root folder would be /boot/* when viewed within a Linux console. (Note: do not add a /boot folder to the flash! The /boot folder already IS the root folder of the flash.)"
