Hi all,

 

Been stable with no issues for quite a while, previous upgrades OK, saw 6.3.4, downloaded OK, rebooted when prompted, seeing USB read errors in startup. Had this happen once before, USB

checked out OK then and (different) USB checks out OK now. Everything plugged into a UPS, no apparent issues during the upgrade. How can I go about recovering this?

 

Thanks,

JT

Need urgent help recovering

Are you using USB2 (recommended)?

You can also try downloading the update and manually installing to flash.

Login prompt reporting 6.3.4, believe the config has been trashed.

 

Using a Sandisk Ultra Fit USB 3.0 on the motherboard header in a HP N40L. I couldn't find a small enough USB 2.0 drive. It's been fine for well over a year.

 

Will try the upgrade files manually.

Sorry to bump this very old topic, but for various reasons I've been unable to attend to this since and *urgently* need any available help in resurrecting my unRAID install. I'm not certain whether using the installer tool on my existing USB will result in loss of licence and/or data.

Help greatly appreciated, thank you!

I managed to get to 6.5.3 using the install tool and transferring my .key file from a backup. I thought transferring disk.cfg would assign disks - this hasn't been the case. I have the files from the existing USB backed up, what should I be doing for the old disks config to be picked up?

Thanks!

Failing that, what can I look at from the backup of the old USB to determine what the disk allocations were please?

If you made the backup via the appdata backup/restore plugin, then there's a text file called disk_assignments

I pulled the files off the USB manually, no backup via plugin unfortunately.

Config/super.dat is the file you need.

Not following the thread, but worst case is IF you were only running a single parity drive, you can set up a new install, assign all the disks as data disks.

If only one comes up as unmountable, then issue a new config and assign that disk as the parity drive

Many thanks Squid, up and going again, very much appreciated!
