Today I noticed my power flickered and my unraid UPS cycled on temporarily. Then my Unraid USB drive became unresponsive. I wrote down some syslog problems and did a reboot thinking it'd come back, but it isn't. I popped the USB stick into my win10 box and the files seems intact. Any ideas?

I do have backups of the USB stick but they're on one of my disks in my unraid server. Would have to pop one out mount on windows/linux?, and try to reformat the USB stick and copy old files back.

 

EDIT: Plugged a monitor into my server. It does boot off the USB and if I pick the default  Unraid OS, it stalls at the first step of reading /bzimage

EDIT 2: Trying to boot again and it only says: SYSLINUX 6.03 EDDBoot error

Well, this is weird.

 

I moved where the plug the USB stick into and it had more errors, I fiddled with how it was plugged in and magically it's booting again now. Doens't make much sense.

 

I'm going to backup the USB stick again and buy a replacement.

 

I suppose I don't need help anymore
