January 21, 20206 yr EDIT: @PeteAsking helped me out here as his solution of copying the original USB stick config folder allowed me to use the old 6.7.2 backup I had on the new stick, however it would seem that the kernel panic I was having MAY be due to upgrading to 6.8.1. I don't know if the Unraid devs will see this but please check on the following error in relation to 6.8.1 "RIP 0010 kernfs_name_hash+0x9/0x6d." --- Hey folks, Before you tell me I'm an idiot, I know that I screwed up, I just need some help. I was trying to migrate my Unraid install to another USB drive as the one I used originally sticks out and could easily be damaged. In the midst of me trying to do so, when I attempted to boot to the original USB drive prior to migration I got the following kernel panic error "RIP 0010 kernfs_name_hash+0x9/0x6d." From here I couldn't figure out how to get the server to boot despite trying a safe mode boot. I had an old drive backup that was accessible so I decided to try and get another license to map to the new USB stick because I couldn't migrate the previous key and use the old backup with the new key. This and using the old backup worked, however, the array configuration is old. Some back history, I recently updated my drive configuration to have 2 new larger 12TB parity drives, I moved the previous 10TB parity drives into the main drive storage pool. I did this many days ago before upgrading the OS to 6.8.1. It worked fine in that configuration, but now, when I am booted into the server it still thinks the old 10TB drives are still the parity drives. Is there a way to override the array configuration? Or is there a way to fix the original USB stick so it doesn't get a kernel panic? Can someone help me? I'm a layman trying to get things back to the status quo here to no avail.

January 21, 20206 yr Have you tried making a backup of this working usb stick (that is an old config) and then just copying over the Config files from the non bootable usb stick that has the correct newer config? Copy across the config folder as this has the config in it. Edited January 21, 20206 yr by PeteAsking
January 21, 20206 yr Author So...I have a feeling the kernel panic was due to the upgrade to 6.8.1. For my part only 6.8 was stable. I say this because when I remade the USB stick with the old backup (6.7.2) and used the config files from the original stick, it booted up with the correct configuration and everything. I don't know if the guys at Unraid are aware of this issue but I won't be migrating to 6.8 until this gets fixed. All in all, thanks @PeteAsking. The config migration solution worked. Not sure why I didn't think of that. Much appreciated. I was freaking out a bit, I'll be honest. Edited January 21, 20206 yr by SNDS
