ObviousViking Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hi there, ive been testing out unRAID and was about 10days away from my trial expiring. I ran into an issue where my server had a totally blank UI and i had to do a hard reset. When trying to bring it back up im met with a 'No configuration file found' error and it refuses to boot. I have checked the USB in Windows and done a check disk scan which was fine. When i review the files on the USB compared to a newly created one i have only around 20MB of files not the 200+MB that is found when an unRAID usb is made. Obviously with just testing it, a couple of VMs, plex and a minecraft server, i hadnt yet set up something like a rclone for the USB files. Strange though why my config files etc are missing from the USB. Any help would be glorious or am i looking likely to have to restart my server from scratch? if so 2nd question, can i use the same disks in the same config without having to move any data off them first?

JorgeB Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Looks like a flash problem, if you use another flash drive you'll need to reassign the disks (because of being a trial key), but you can keep all the data/existing config. Quote Link to comment
ObviousViking Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Yup kind of bit the bullet and tried this in the hope it was how it worked. Happy to say once i got the dockers rebuilt the server is back up and running as it should be. Crisis over haha Quote Link to comment

ObviousViking Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Also figured that out too haha. Is there a way to automate this? Quote Link to comment
