4. Generate the File List

List the files and save the output as a text file.

  • In the terminal, type: ls -R /mnt/disks/[DriveName] > /boot/unassigned-file-list.txt Replace [DriveName] with the name of your mounted drive.
  • This command creates a recursive list of all files on the drive and saves it to the /boot directory.

5. Download the File List

Retrieve the saved file list from the server.

  • In the Unraid web interface, navigate to the Shares tab.
  • Open the flash share, which corresponds to the /boot directory.
  • Download the unassigned-file-list.txt file to your local system.
