Unraid OS version 6.8.1 available

Upgrade seemed to work, but... system won't boot, it's in a loop

boot:
Undef symbol FAIL: openConsole
Failed to load libutil.c32
Failed to load COM32 file menu.c32
boot:
...

I'm going to go with the assumption that my USB stick is corrupt and hope to recover. But...any suggestions or insights are appreciated.

Well, that's disappointing. I just pulled the USB stick and and ran chkdsk on it from my Windows 10 laptop; chkdsk reports it is just fine.

try running makebootable again would be my first choice.

No joy on that. make_bootable.bat ran normally, looks like it worked, but it's going into exactly the same loop.

Based on this page: https://wiki.unraid.net/Files_on_v6_boot_drive, I can't see anything obvious I'm missing, the files in syslinux look normal. menu.c32 is there.  I've not no clue at this point.

Is anyone else experiencing slower copy speeds? Previously I was on 6.5.3 and upgraded to 6.7.2, but went back to 6.5.3 because copying speeds from my SSD cache drive to the array went down substantially: from about 74 MB/s to  52 MB/s. Now I've upgraded from 6.5.3 to 6.8.1 and unfortunately am experiencing the same slow copy speeds (in fact possibly even slightly slower).

I have a quick question: To be cautious as a lot of us have invested lots of time in our Unraid setups and configuration, what would be the best suggestion to backup unraid before attempting an upgrade? Just in case something goes wrong. Also, are there any suggestions on running chkdsk or anything before attempting the update?

 

Thanks

I just download a backup of flash. That contains everything you need to revert to the current OS if you can’t access the webUI after an upgrade.

@wgstarks Would that be as simple as just browsing to the flash drive and just copying everything over? to a backup folder? 

It's as simple as browsing to Flash page via Main and clicking Flash Backup button.  This downloads a zip file containing everything on your usb flash boot device.  You can then use this file to feed into the USB Creator tool.

6.8.1 won't boot unless I use safe mode.

Which tells you that its a plugin interfering (probably way out of date or something)

How do I fix

What's the contents of /config/plugins on the flash drive?

Tools - Upgrade OS will allow you to downgrade
