Thanks @JorgeB for all your help, i realy appreciated it. Yeah im pretty sure a stock unraid install will fix the issue. if I use the same flash but just do a stock unraid install and wanted to keep my array intact and shares and not lose any data, do I just copy super.dat, pools folder and the key? Anything else I should copy? What would I lose? Just so that I can take note of settings before I do this and know what plugins and dockers to re-download 🙂

Yeah i agree, its very strange. I havent seen this in the last 4 years of using unraid. Yeah im 100% sure its reading from cache. Im moving files into the cache say 50GB or more and click mover and i can see the files being written to the array. All my shares, except for appdata, system and domains are set to "Yes = Cache" This issue is only happening on my backup Unraid, my primary Unraid server is working perfectly so I should definitely be seeing some movement on the Reads column during the mover process on my backup unraid server. Since this is my backup unraid server im happy to try out things. I know its not a big thing, more annoying but if i can help figure this out im all for it 🙂

During the scrub process i do see values in the "reads" column so that all looks fine. It looks like that there is no activity in the reads column if the mover is running or if you say, play some sort of media thats on the cache pool. I have also tried different browsers with the same result and have tried incognito in internet explorer but still no activity.

Thanks so much for taking a look for me @JorgeB I did a scrub before i went into safe mode and it found zero errors. I then booted into safe mode and did another scrub and still zero errors. While i was in safe mode I decided to copy data onto the pool, did another scrub and it also found zero errors. I also started the mover once all data was on the pool and im still seeing no movement in the Reads column of the pool if i start mover or access data from the pool. Something i do see is that, on initial start of the array, there is a brief period where the reads column does show some numbers but once the array has settled there no more indications in the reader column. Is there anything else that you can think of or something that i could try on my side?

Hi, Im not sure if this is a bug or something else on my side but im really hoping that someone could help me with this one. Last night i powered off my server and when i powered it back on 10min later, for some reason I no longer see a change in the "Reads" column on my cache pool. When i start the mover i can see data being written to the array and data is definitely being moved off of the cache pool as expected but there is no movement in the "Reads" column. On the array the "Reads/Writes" work just fine and on the cache pool the "writes" are being displayed fine. I have also changed the "Reads/writes" display to see if that made a difference but still no movement is shown in the "Reads" column. I also copied some media onto the cache drive and watched a show but still no change. I then went and moved all data from the cache pool to the array and then deleted the cache pool and created it again after a restart in safe mode but the issue is still there. I have attached my Diags after the mover completed, hoping that someone could help me with this one. Any help would be much appreciated. server-backup-diagnostics-20230407-2258.zip

Oh Awesome!! Thanks so much @bonienl 🙂

Hi, Im hoping someone can help me with this one. For some reason i have noticed that the file manager plugin errors and uninstalls itself and its happened twice now. I just noticed it happened again today where i was looking through my shares and noticed that it was gone and so i had to re-install it again and now its working again. I have posted my diags hoping that someone could perhaps tell me why its happening. perhaps a plugin bug? or something my system is doing? any help would be really appreciated 🙂 server-backup-diagnostics-20230325-1330.zip

Thanks for replying @ich777 No, nothing custom at all on the second server. It's a new build and that user has permissions to the files which exist on the second server so a bit strange. All good, thanks for explaining about what happens when you copy the file back to the first server, i gave it a test and it does indeed show the correct owner again which is perfect because as long as i can restore things back to how things were on the first server then thats perfect for me :-) Thanks so much again.

Hi @ich777 Im hoping you could perhaps help me or point me in the right direction 🙂 Im using Luckbackup to clone some of my Unraid shares from from my Unraid Server 1 to Unraid Server 2 (all inside the same home network) Im loving it and its working really well except, each time Luckybackup copies a file from Server 1 to Server 2, the owner of that new file is set as "UNKNOWN" in Unraid. For some reason its not cloning the Owner of that file and im not sure what im doing wrong or if there is a setting somewhere that i should use. I have tried the option of "use numeric group and user IDs" but i get the same result. My config and settings are below for info. any help would be much appreciated.

Just tried to uninstall and re-install and then clicked on the double arrows and no joy unfortunately 😞 Ill take your advice and when im back home again ill run a check on the flash and see what it comes back with. Hopefully whatever the issue is I can fix it 🙂 If it is something on the Flash device would the solution be to backup the old flash and then format the flash drive and place the backup back on the flash? I guess thats assuming that my flash backup doesnt have the same issues.

Thank you very much @dlandon This is my unassigned.devices.cfg below. It all looks OK but i dont have anything to compare it too though. is the 'share' supposed to be called 'share.1' ? Same for the 'command_bg.1' The '.1' looks out of place as none of the other options have a '.1' I only have 1 encrypted UD disk device and its just a backup for all my Appdata backups so i dont mind wiping it and starting from scratch again. With the first option of just deleting the /flash/config/plugins/unassigned.devices/unassigned.devices.cfg file , when you say dont do this if you have encrypted disks because you will lose the password seed, im assuming this will only affect my 1 UD Disk and not my whole encrypted unraid array. if this is the case then im happy to just nuke the UD config and start again. [Config] common_cmd = "" destructive_mode = "disabled" automount_usb = "yes" discard = "no" symlinks = "no" smb_version = "no" debug_level = 0 key = "blablabla" iv = "T/Vgc8nQimc4OqBa" [JMicron_Generic_0123456789ABCDEF-0:0] unassigned_dev = "dev1" automount = "yes" show_partitions = "no" share.1 = "no" pass = "blablabla" disable_mount = "yes" command_bg.1 = "true"

Thanks for taking a look for me. Yeah i also tried just using the 'Done' button but no joy. The next time I power off my Unraid server ill run the file system check on the flash drive but is there another way? if i had to uninstall UD and then re-install it would that make any difference? I think this issue started after one of the earlier updates broke SMB sharing. Not sure if you recall but you helped me using Team viewer. so not sure if a reinstall would fix anything.

Hi, Im hoping someone can help me with this issue but for some reason if i try and un-share my external HDD in UD when i click the circled switch in the image below, the switch goes to the "off" position as expected but then as soon as i click "Save" and go back to this page the switch is in the "On" position again. After i go through this process the HDD does actually become unshared and cant be seen by my network users which is what i want but as soon as UD gets an update or I restart my Unraid the HDD is automatically shared again 😞 I think it has something to do with that switch and if i can get it so stay in the "Off" position it might solve this issue of auto re-sharing again after a reboot or UD update. This has been happening for a while now and i dont know what else to do to try and fix it. Any help would be appreciated 🙂 server-diagnostics-20230119-1837.zip

@ZappyZap thanks for taking this on, its very much appreciated 🙂 I followed your instructions, flipped the image over to yours and all is good and running well. All nicely updated too which is awesome!! keep up the great work!

Ahh gotcha. In that case then the fix you pushed has worked like a charm. I also have another friend with a similar setup to me and he just went though the same upgrade process that i did and after upgrading UD to this new version (12a) and then upgrade unraid to 6.11.3 he had no issues at all. So 2 seperate test cases all saying its fixed 🙂 thanks very much for debugging and fixing this for us so quickly. Its very much appreciated!

Hi @dlandon Just installed the update for UD devices and its been up and running with no issues now for about 20min. Looks like the fix you did is working 🙂 Unless the workaround you did earlier for me is still holding. Would updating the UD plugin remove your workaround you did earlier?

yeah of course. let me install teamviewer quick

i still get those errors

ill leave UD installed for you untill you tell me otherwise im keen to figure out what is going on here too.
