  1. Since you can't recover the drive assignments you will need to follow JorgeB's advice.
  2. Look in the config folder. /boot only exists on a running system, it's not on the flash drive. Think of /boot as the windows drive letter like E:\
  3. Doesn't matter much, since you know what drives you want to assign, but you can preserve all to leave the drives in their previous slots while still allowing free reassignment. The preserve options simply determines which slots are completely blanked vs. prefilled. The end result is the same, it's just a matter of convenience.
  4. Tools, new config. Just make sure you don't accidentally assign any drives to the two parity slots.
  5. No, it's a bad controller because it uses a 5 port controller with a multiplier.
  6. Your method should work, but you will need to disable the docker and possibly vm services, not just stop the containers, to ensure there are no files in use while the moves are being done. You will know the service is stopped when there is no docker tab available in the GUI when the array is started. Everything must stay stopped until the new drive is in place with all files back in the same path. You can use the built in mover function, but it would probably be much faster to use the Dynamix File Manager plugin to copy all the files to your temporary location on the array. I would copy rather than move, that way you have a full backup.
  7. super.dat I think that file is the only non-text config file, you can't open it in a text editor and get readable content.
  8. Sorry, apparently I looked at the wrong link. you are correct, it has enough expansion to make it minimally viable.
  9. This was already resolved by the OP, the correct license hadn't yet been downloaded to the USB stick.
  10. That is completely wrong. Write destinations are governed by share settings, nothing to do with speed.
  11. Need diagnostics from both versions.
  12. The controller needs to be in IT mode so Unraid can manage the individual drives with no intervention. If you don't, you can run into very real problems moving drives to different ports or controllers.
  13. I don't get what you are arguing here. The new pricing lets you run the version you bought forever, and you only need to pay when you want a new version. That is exactly what you said.
