July 21, 20205 yr Yesterday, I rebooted my Unraid server for the first time in 6 months and it failed to boot. The error says: VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6 Please append a correct "root" boot option, here are the available partitions: 0800 15163392 ada driver : sd 0801 15163392 sda1 5867d303-01 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount roote fs on unknown-block(0,0) Hardware name : ECS 1885CN-A2/A885CM-A2, BIOS 080015 08/11/201 Call Trace: I then took the Flash drive and copied a backup of the flash onto it. It then rebooted successfully, so I assume that one or more files on the flash had somehow been corrupted. The problem is that this happened before on my previous flash drive so I replaced it with this new one just over a year ago. I bought one of the recommended Patriot flash drives. The question is: is this flash drive going bad (after only a year) or is something in the OS corrupting the files on the drive or is something else wrong (like maybe bad USB controller?). Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks.
