FraxTech Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Sometimes we just don't know as much as we think we do... I was trying to delete some files from a share and used the command "rm -r /" and deleted everything on my flash drive (at least it caused unRAID to crash, not boot back up and when I pulled the flash drive and put it in my Windows machine, it didn't show anything on the drive). I didn't think it would be a big deal, I just loaded a copy of my flash drive I had saved (unfortunately the last one I have on my Windows machine is from January). It booted fine, but I have changed 5 of the 15 disks since this copy of the flash drive was made, so now I can't start my array. I know I used the CA Backup / Restore Appdata plugin to backup my AppData folder, and I've taken backups of the flash drive, but they are saved on my array. I'm not sure how to proceed. Should I pull the flash drive, flash it with a clean install of unRAID? I'm just not sure where to go from here and I'm freaking out! Any help you guys can give would be much appreciated!! EDIT: I do have a screenshot of my drive assignments that was done just after my last drive update, so I do know where all the drives belong, just don't know how to get the server to start with them there since it is freaking out about 5 drives (including one of the parity drives) changing.

JorgeB Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Tools -> New config. Reassign all disks and check "parity is already valid" before array start. Double check all assignments before starting the array, especially parity. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, @johnnie.black, just one question before I do this, on the New Config page, under "Retain current configuration" do I select "None", "All", "Parity slots", "Data slots", or "Cache slots"?

JorgeB Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 As it's easier for you, if most disks are correctly assigned chose to maintain those, that will just pre-populate the selected assignments with the disks already there so you have less work, but they can be moved. Quote Link to comment
