Hi guys,

 

I've been having some issues with Plex after an update. I would like to try a clean install of Unraid to fix this.

 

Do I just go: Tools > New Config > Reassign drives and start?

 

Will that remove all the docker/apps installed yet retain the array data?

 

Cheers, Josh

 

New Config only removes the array assignments (not the array data).  It doesn't affect Dockers or other apps.  For Dockers, just disable Dockers and let it delete the docker.img.  You can then re-enable Dockers fresh, and add the containers back.

 

I don't know exactly what you're trying to accomplish.  The Starting Over wiki page may have some helpful info, but may also be overkill.

That was so easy and worked so well! Thanks!!

Don't know if I am hijacking this topic with my entry. I moved my unraid to new hardware. Wanting to play wit vm's. I would like to keep my data on the array. The shares also. I do not mind about plugins or dockers. I followed a lot of videos but I do not seem to be able to continue to make a new VM.

 

I have a dual xeon 2650 v1 config with 64Gb of ram.

 

Made a backup of my current flash with unraid 6.xx on another computer.

 

Formatted the drive and copied a new fresh install of unraid on in, made it bootable and copied theconfig folder to the flash drive without the GO file, copied the KEY in the config directory. When I start, I do not see any assigned drives. No shares. As much as I want to play with VM's I do not want to lose my data on the 10 2 Tb drives in the system. Am I overlooking something. UNraid does keep track of assignment of the drives of the array or doens't it.

 

Any help appreciated

 

You missed copying the super.dat file in the config folder
