So this afternoon I noticed that my Plex docker had an update, having done this multiple times before I initiated the update but it failed. Immediately I noticed my custom banner was reset to default and my docker and vm tabs were missing but everything seemed to continue working. Upon getting home later that night I decided to do a reboot but was hit with the error cannot find device "bond0". I tried checking the usb on a windows machine and it reads fine, I tried other usb ports on the server with no success.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Your boot flash device has dropped off line. Try a different socket, preferably a USB 2.0 one.

I tried several same all around.

Does your flash device have a USB 2 or USB 3 interface? Use a standard USB 2 one, even if you have to put it in a USB 3 socket.

I mean it is usb 3 but it has worked without a hitch for over a year and now all of a sudden a plex update fails and everything stops working?

It's dropping off line, as shown in your second photograph.

how do i setup a new usb key, the link seems to be dead

This thread might help:

 

 

As said by @John_M your USB is offline. This prevents loading of the necessary drivers which are stored on the USB device, resulting in the error message about bond0.

Have a new USB stick in transit, will attempt a fix on the weekend and report back. Thanks for the help thus far.

So after some playing around im back to life just needed to reactivate the new key. The old usb key still seems to be working on my windows pc, should i assume it is bad and throw it away?

 

Thanks everyone for the help.

Use it for low importance stuff on your PC if you like but don't risk it with anything that matters. Personally though, I'd throw it away. I have so many USB sticks that if I know one to be unreliable I'd rather not have it.
