[[6.8.3] docker image huge amount of unnecessary writes on cache]

Seems like there are multiple people having issues with this, which is great! Then perhaps, if the developers have some time left, that they can check out our issue

[[6.8.3] docker image huge amount of unnecessary writes on cache]

I think it will be pushed further up the devs todo list if more people experience and notify them about it

 

 

[[6.8.3] docker image huge amount of unnecessary writes on cache]

Hello,

 

my first post ever here, so I just have to use the opportunity to say what an amazing product unRaid is

 

However, I too have the samme issue as OP. Its seems that my poor little SSD has written around 50TB of data on it. (Bought June 2019, only used for unRaid).

 

I was for a long time on version 6.7, but after upgrading directly to 6.8.3, I started getting a lot of notifications about excess heat on my SSD and saw that something wrote massively to the drive.

I checked every docker app, turned them off - but still had the issue.

(At the same time as upgrading the unRaid version, I also did extend my docker image to have more space, since I had to stop the array/boot the server anyways.)

 

I almost never got notifications about excess heat on 6.7. (EDIT: as a result of the massive writing of course) This led me to googling and finding this post.

 

I implemented the solution described here, and it worked! No more constant write and heat notifications on my SSD drive( BTRFS, encrypted).

 

A bit scared to boot the server now, since I know rc.docker will reset. (Will it however boot my docker apps as normal, even without the symlink?)
