dorgan Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 It seems once again my usb boot device is mounted as readyonly. Not sure why this keeps happening, my system is protected by a UPS device and hasnt had any downtime in the past couple months yet all of a sudden today the device is mounted as readonly.... Any ideas on how to fix or if I just need to buy a different usb stick. I am using the following usb stick for boot: SanDisk Ultra Fit 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ43-032G-GAM46 Quote Link to comment
gacpac Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 This doesn't make sense. Have you tried removing the usb and check the disk for errors in Windows? Remember is fat32 and things like that can happen when there's errors. Also at least to me, 2.0 flash drives work better with Unraid, but that's possibly because of my setup. Quote Link to comment
dorgan Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 plugged in drive to windows system and its saying the usb drive is not formatted?? Tried to format and windows cannot format it... I am assuming this drive is shot? Quote Link to comment
gacpac Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 It could be the format, but i wouldn't risk it.Get a new memory and restore from backupSent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
dorgan Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 using a new usb key. Working on getting replacement key as this is the second time in a year. Also seems like unless CA backup does a flash backup i might now have a backup nor do I know which drives were in which slots in the array. So anyone know how I can figure that out??

gacpac Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Ca backup can backup flash. I have it to backup in array. And i know the order of my drives just in case.Question, is the server turned on right now? That's the only way i can think ofSent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

Yes server is on, but running with no array and invalid key as I am waiting on key from unraid since I have to go with manual swap of key Quote Link to comment
