digitalformula Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Hello, I'm on 6.6.5. I've just had to reboot my unRAID box and, after the restart, the hostname is "Tower" and the machine has a self-assigned IP address i.e 169.265.x.x. All configuration is gone, by the looks of it. I do have a flash backup but it's on S3 and not easily accessible (but it IS accessible if that's the only way to fix this - it's just not my preferred method). Why would this happen? I've found another post and have run "diagnostics" from the command line. I'll upload that when I can get the file (I'm on mobile now). In the meantime are there any known reasons for this? Thanks Edited November 19, 2018 by digitalformula Marked as resolved Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Check your flash device for corruption. You also may move the flash device to a different USB port, preferably USB2. Some users have issues when using a USB3 port. Quote Link to comment

Sorry, should've updated this before, since I had it fixed a minute or so after posting. It did actually turn out to be the USB port, although not a change from USB 3 to USB 2. I just used a different one - motherboard rear panel instead of case front panel. Still USB 3. Working now, thankfully. Thanks @bonienl. Quote Link to comment
