Yesterday, I noticed that when I was trying to use the screen app that it worked  couple of times but then stopped working. It kept saying something that it couldn't find the command. So I installed the packages for screen and it worked again. Now today, when I went in to add a new user folder it saved the user folder but all the min. disk space and split levels set for all user folders disappeared. When I try to input them again, they don't save. But the user folders save.

 

Any idea what could be going on? I haven't tried rebooting yet as I am running a pre-clear on a drive and it is on step 10 so I want to wait until it's done doing that before reboot. But I am concern something isn't right.

 

I also just check and again, screen doesn't work but it worked yesterday when I installed it again and haven't rebooted since. Also, looks like my root password also doesn't save.

Sounds like your flash drive is not mounted (did you disconnect it?)  When you log in as root you should see your files at /boot when you type

ls -l /boot

 

you should see it mounted when you type

mount

 

Attach a syslog to your next post.  It will have the clues needed for analysis.

Ah...I bet that is the problem. I can not view the files. I think maybe the USB port I was using is bad. When I get home I will use another one. I have attached my syslog.

 

 

Which I am seeing the following errors:

Oct  5 04:50:37 PhenixNAS emhttp: get_config_idx: fopen /boot/config/shares/DVDs.cfg: No such file or directory - assigning defaults

 

 

But I am worried about seeing:

Oct  5 05:17:20 PhenixNAS kernel: FAT: Directory bread(block 32775) failed

 

Could that be an issue?

 

And since I pulled a drive and swapped it with a new drive, will that cause any types of problems? Or would copying files to the drive(s) cause any problems?

All of those errors (with the possible exception of the "assigning defaults" message) indicate your flash drive is has some file system corruption and needs to have checkdisk/scandisk run on it.  Since it is not writable, none of your settings will be saved.

How about the files I have copied over to the drives. Are they safe? And the parity?

Maybe I have my answer. I just rebooted and it's doing a data rebuild on the drive I replaced.
