    I have this error message from fix common problems after adding a second cache pool and moving appdata share to use the new cache.  Consequently too delugevpn thinks there is no openvpn files in the directory now even though it appears there is and the docker will not start.  Wondering if that also has something to do with this.  Attached is diagnostics as well as a picture of fix common problems. Thanks for any and all help, i probably messed something up....course if theres anything else you see glaring in the logs let me know that as well if possible.

    Check every docker container you have and see if there's a direct reference on one or more of them to /mnt/cache.  Likely need to hit the "down caret" to see all the path mappings for some of them.

    moderation discretion

    Every plugin,  no exceptions, are checked for security issues.  This doesn't mean that there isn't going to be security flaws caused by libraries utilized, but you do know that any random plugin is not going to go ahead and outright delete your media etc.

     

    Every single plugin available via Apps gets installed on my production server, with no exceptions, and a code audit is done on what is actually present instead of what may be showing on GitHub.  Every single update to every plugin I am notified about (within 2 hours), and with plugins which are not maintained by a contractor of Limetech is then code audited again.  Every update.  And with only a few exceptions, this happens on an actual production server not on a test server.

     

    If something ever fails the checks, then everything else gets dropped (including the 9-5 job) to handle the issue.  Whether that means simply getting the application out of apps temporarily and asking the maintainer / author "WTF? You can't do this", or notifying everyone with it installed via FCP about any issue, or preventing the Auto Update plugin from installing any update to the plugin, or even taken more drastic measures, provisions are in place to protect the user..

     

    Closed source applications, whether they are plugins or containers, may be frowned upon, but are not necessarily disallowed.  With plugins, the standard for open-source vs closed-source is more strict, but it is not 100% a requirement that only open source be present.

  3. Any path in the template that has either a share (/mnt/user/shareName or the direct disk equivalent /mnt/cache/shareName) which has a container path on any template of /config is automatically excluded as it is an appdata storage location by convention.

     

    Also, the default appdata location (Settings - Docker) is also automatically excluded and the script will never allow you to run on it. 

  4. First thing I'd do is run memtest from the boot menu for at least a couple of passes.  You've got a ton of general protection faults which a lot of times is caused by bad memory.

     

    You should also be running the memory at its actual speed of 2133 (SPD) instead of the overclocked XMP speed of 3200.  All overclocks introduce instability.

    Your flash drive has possible corruption on /boot/config/unraid_notify.cfg. Post your diagnostics in the forum for more assistance.

     

    Where's that file from?

     

    It's not corrupted, but FCP considers any .cfg file in /config to be a valid ini file, which it technically isn't because of the quotes and brackets in the comments

    This may only be a me issue; after updating to unpaid 6.12.10 this plugin has seemingly disappeared from my system and the App Store. If anybody has any insight on this please let me know. I don't remember anything in the changeling and it missing from the App Store has me quite perplexed. 

    Because I never expected for the OS to reach 6.12.10 so it was marked as the maximum version allowed of 6.12.9

     

    Fixed.  Should reappear in Apps shortly

             @Squid I've noticed this also makes the "mover start" command follow this "filter" (including script execution when enabled). This is extremely helpful as I call for mover to start/stop on regular occasions.

     

            As it doesn't execute scripts and I have to account for this anytime I invoke "mover stop" by either including it in my calls or by running my mover scripts manually. It's a bit of a headache at times. Is there anyway you would be willing to do the same for "mover stop" that you did for "mover start"?? I realize this may not be as helpful to most. I just wanted to ask as it may be helpful to some.

    I have nothing to do with this plugin anymore.  You want @hugenbdd

  8. Agree with what I've been doing for the last 5 years or not.  I'm good with everyone's opinion and can understand both sides of the argument.

     

    But, know that like everything else in CA, these things get tested to death to ensure that they are completely harmless, and functionality isn't impeded, and watch like a hawk every posting to ensure that nothing has gone awry.  CA is a passion project.

     

    Last year's tribute to the bat if you chose to continue with the homage didn't affect anything (unless you were unable to do a handstand).  This year, even if you didn't "revert" to the author dictated images upon installations the author's images would appear in the docker tab, and in all cases it's a simple one click to restore that's clearly communicated.

     

    My personal opinion regarding this stuff is that it shows that I actually do care about CA, it's security, and this community.  I'm not the type of person (probably few are) who could survive long in a coding factory fashioned after a sweatshop.  (Pretty sure that no one else in a space invader one interview inadvertently dropped a dick joke that made it through the sensors)

     

    But, everyone did miss the biggest joke of all.  While every app had a randomly selected photo (changed every 2 hours), right on the home page (Spotlight section), the "unbalanced" app had a specific picture pinned to it for the duration of the day.

     

    While Tom et al did give a go ahead for this, any and all blame / anger / misgivings should get thrown my way.  I am glad however that my original idea / planning for this year I did ultimately decide against.  It was going to leverage a coding change which is being put into place for a different legitimate reason, but after looking at how the end result turned out I figured it would completely mess everyone up.

     

    Either way, as far as I'm concerned, debate about yesterday's event should now be over.  What's done is done and let's all get back to business.

    With these 2 unaddressed issues, my server, my legacy, would not survive without intervention for long after my death.

    FWIW, I've been gradually simplifying things on the servers in the house to handle that scenario.  To make them easier to run / maintain with little if any management from the better half.   But, I also worry that upon my passing no one would be able to change the input on the TV either.
