[Cant read config ... partly]

Dear Constructor.

 

Thank you for your insight. After a good night sleep I have noticed that there is a line in the log....

 

So I killed the windows Vm and lauched the mover.... Voila.. it chrunched one iso... although the size of the cache remained the same... almost full.

(still a mistery, but that seems more like along the lines that the cache is not configured properly) (Any advice highly appreciated)

Howerver., i was able to launch my broken Ubuntu VM and the the screen with the journal error turned that the journal rebuild itself and it booted...
So I am over the moon. This is amazing... 

 

Aside

I know that the usb 2 is more stable and I always put the flash drives into 2.0.

That would make sense. I never ran any docker containers. Just two Vms. One windows and one Ubuntu.

 

 

P.S (Linus from LTT was right... This community is truly amazing. Thanks to everyone who helped.)

UPDATE: I

I think i have solved it. The cache for domains was set to prefer. That s the reason why it was full. I switched it to yes and then invoked the mover. The mover moved almost everything out and now I have a healthy 80GB cache utilization. 

 

I have learned a lot. Many thanks. You can mark this as solved.

Go to Tools-diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics zip file to your NEXT post.

UPDATE:

 

I have managed to use another flash drive and fix the config issue. The problem is that the move function for the cache does not work and the wm cannt be run because its missing a USB device...

 

Any advice? Many thanks so far..

Update: 

 

I have recreated the unraid flashdrive with the usb creator utility and copied the config file over, but the problem persists.

 

The cache cannot be moved.. The config is not visible and the the vm wont boot.

The presence of the FSCK type files indicates you have had corruption and the contents must be treated with an element of suspicion. The fact it seems to drop offline on starting the array would lend some credence to that.

 

If the /boot folder is ever empty then you can expect Unraid to start misbehaving as all configuration information is kept under /boot/config.   As was mentioned the system diagnostics zip file would be required to give any meaningful feedback on the cause.

 

I would suggest that you make a backup of the flash drive (in particular the config folder and all its contents) with the aim of recreating it as a fresh install and then copying the config folder back to get all current settings restored.

Thank you very much. I am very sorry. I forgot to include the log.

I will do as you say. create a fresh install and report back.

 

Many thanks

thank you. I tried that and all the files seem to be there.. before i mount the array I can even browse the specific location in the terminal and i see the files there. When i mount the array the boot folder turns to be empty

 

Edit:

 

I have checked as you have requested as well. the files are there 🙂

Dear Community.

I am sorry I am a noob and have noob problems. The server crashed on me today during a file transfer to my VM.

 

I dont know what happened, but I am getting the following errors in the syslog now:

root: cp: cannot create regular file '/boot/config': Input/output error

 

As a result. My Ubuntu VM wont boot now, because it waits for some data from cache. the cache can find presumably the share config. 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks in advance

Edit:

Moreover: The Move function to load data of the cache does not work as well... Totally clueles why..
