ok. Thank you. Will find a replacement again. Appreciate the help!

But this is the second cache drive within a week - why would it be failing? That's what was said about my last cache drive hence the replacement Seems very odd to me that 2 SSD drives would fail so easily when I haven't had any fail previous to that since I've been using SSDs.

Feel free to read through my previous issue:

Previously I had a cache drive issue. I added a different SSD for Cache. The old drive used for cache is still there somewhere (didn't want to pull drives to find it, so left it in) but isn't used in the configuration anywhere. After replacement things were great for a bit. Lately my Dockers seem to crash, virtual ethernets seem to be the problem. And today when I went to plex and nothing showed (yet again) I look to the log and see a crapload of errors again Attached are the diagnostics. It's difficult to keep up with all the problems - I feel like I haven't had a stable system in a while now and it is frustrating since I keep backups on UNRAID along with running my new Plex server and Unifi Controller. You will see in the syslog that there are a ton of sdc1 BTRFS errors towards the end. Pretty sure it is my new Cache drive. Not sure why it is constantly corrupting this drive? maybe this makes sense to someone smarter than me tower-diagnostics-20200827-0940.zip

When I get on a computer that has not attempted to connect previously and use Window File Explorer - it does ask for credentials. I have tried with: \{username} to get to the default context (instead of it forcing in my domain name) and that will not work even with admin user for Unraid.

I don't think this is a Windows problem because my shares used to be visible. Sometime after a drive failure (cache drive) they are no longer visible. Not sure if there is a correlation, but now I cannot access any of the shares at all Trying to move some files around, but can't get to them. Attached diagnostics in case that helps. thx. tower-diagnostics-20200817-0709.zip

Thanks everyone for the help, I seem to be back up and running. I even have the appdata backup plugin loaded.

I will look that up as soon as I figure out how to get the appdata onto the new cache drive I'm new to Unraid, so didn't realize there was that plugin.

I do have a second drive, but not sure what I do first.. I would think I need the following things to happen: Copy that data somehow from the backup to the new cache drive start up the array after this is done Those are guesses, but I have no idea lol

Don't I have to do something with the cache drive? Like, format, replace, something? I'm not real sure where to do that since the cache drive is live.

After using that process to copy the files over - I have a lot of these errors. What is the next step in the process?

It is in the process... Man does Plex have a lot of files in there I would have thought most would be in the array, something I will have to look at after I finally get this back up and running

I was going to go there next, just checking to make sure I'm on the right track here.

ok, I did the following and I don't think the copy worked very well:

ok, makes sense. on the BTRFS, I assume I have to shut stuff down before trying any of that? or at least unmount the cache drive? Trying to figure out how to do that and I am not succeeding. Sorry - I feel like such a newbie with Unraid.

Still struggling with this. How does the cache get corrupted anyway? Is this a disk issue and I should replace the disk?

So you are saying if I want my dockers to retain their settings - I need to recover that. Sound about right? Sorry for all the questions - I'm not all that familiar with Unraid yet. I've only had it running for 6 months and mostly left it alone after setup.

I really don't think I need to worry about that data right? I believe all that data is located at /mnt/user/appdata anyway. I have no VMs, just Docker containers.

ok, so I ran: cp -r /mnt/cache /mnt/user/Backup Looks like every file got an error as shown in the attached image. Unsure if this is because of permissions or a general read error on the cache drive?

I have Krusader on there, but it is a docker and no longer working due to this corruption issue. I will have to figure out command line I guess.

What would be the method to do this? Looks like all the files are: Docker Files - in /appdata/{Container-Name} libvirt.img

appreciate any help I can get. Seems like a mess. Some of the dockers appear not to work properly and also seems like networking making them not work. Like Plex is essentially inaccessible.

My Unraid server has been working fine for a while, but recently it seems to be having problems with the Docker Containers. All of them show up with version 'not available' and as a result i can't update them. I've attached the diagnostics simply because I have to assume it is networking in some way. Before today it was set up with Eth0 bonded to eth0/1/2/3. I changed that to only bonding with eth0/1 and plugged in eth1. I did that hoping it would resolve the issue. previously none of 1/2/3 were plugged in. Hopefully someone has some insights tower-diagnostics-20200802-1129.zip

I have ESXi 6.7 and recently ran into an issue with a Datastore after a power outage. I would like to start moving my datastores to UNRAID to have some level of safety. My current Datastores are individual disks on the ESXi server (yes, not safe, finding that out). What is the fastest connection I can have to ensure the datastore is: Always available Not slow I have a Netgear ReadyNAS and a Synology Diskstation both with Datastores setup (iSCSI) on them and they are pretty slow and also they sometimes just don't show up until I reboot ESXi once or twice My network is fairly robust. I have Cat5e with Unifi switches and very small cable runs. Thanks in advance!

And to finish this off... I believe it is all resolved. I had to purge the history in SABnzbd. That is where SONARR was getting its information and what was causing the problems. SONARR kept looking way back in history - seeing those files were downloaded to /TV (apparently), and tried to import them from that location. This is why only new shows would properly import. Anything I imported prior to settings being fixed were still tagged to /TV. I feel both smarter and more ignorant after all of this Appreciate the help!
