Rolled back to 6.9.2 and all my errors have stopped.

Yes Bootrec.exe /FixMbr - Said OK Bootrec.exe /FixBoot - Said cant work Bootrec.exe /ScanOs - said cant see os ?

Hey ! I have the same reoccurring problem, every now and again my W10 VM will crap out and loose the C:\ and take me to the repair boot screen. Running the above gets my "C:" back in the cmd prompt, but when i reboot it craps out again. Any help would be ace. when i run the bootrec commands its says total identified windows installation:0 ? Cheers D.

Glad it’s not just me then !! Cheers

Good point, but I can’t understand how the usb that houses the unraid OS could cause the db issues as (from my understanding) the unraid OS is loaded and ran from the RAM not the USB. Anyways I won’t be upgrading my unraid OS again (to test your theory) for awhile if everything’s running as it should…

Yup, that wasn’t the problem. I’m going to raise a proper big report. I have the following containers all of which have experienced DB corruption since updating to 6.10.3:- Plex sonarr radarr (multiple implementations) tautulli Setup:- sonarr, radarr and. tautulli are all on a SSD 1tb cache drive (which has never gotten above 40% capacity) Plex metadata (db) is all stored on a separate “unassigned device” SSD of 1tb (which is at about 35% capacity). ALL of the separate DBS across all these containers have become corrupt over a 3 month period before which they were all fine for 2 years on this system. this issue has also been highlighted by other users on Reddit. (But only a few, myself included) I repaired the DB’s and rolled back to 6.9.2 (that’s it) and knock on wood haven’t had any other corruptions so far, but it’s still early days

Either way, it’s currently working …… and more importantly no DB issues so far, so fingers crossed that’s fixed my issues….. my only concern now is am I stuck on 6.9.2 forever now as my issues have only really been raised by a handful of people so isn’t something the unraid team will look to fix in a future release im assuming ?

All looking good so far ! Thanks

Bugger me that was traumatic !!! Right, I think I've cracked it ! Soooo got a new USB (Exactly the same as the old one) and very long story but I had to do the whole thing on a VM as my work locks down the use of USB's on their laptops (who knew) So after allowing the VM USB controller access I could then do the whole copy on the VM. I followed the above instructions, first using the windows create usb key with a back-up. and then overwriting the files with the 6.9.2 files from the downloaded zip and it appears to have worked. I had to move my license key to the new USB drive (Which was also traumatic as my array wouldn't start, and now my original USB stick is dead to unriad) So now im back up and running, i had to reset some settings in my VMs after the downgrade. but other than that looks like im good. Thanks again for all your help. D.

Cheers ears ! still got a permissions issue on the USB so bought a new one…… guess I’m going to have to transfer my license and current setup to that USB then Follow the steps above ! thanks again

This morning I had to roll back my Plex db, I added a bit of new content and my db has corrupted again. Can’t continue with it being this unstable (and checked with Plex devs and they said it’s defo not them) so I’ll have to figure out a way to roll back. Looks like ill Need to buy a new usb (not convinced my current usb is buggered though !)

Might be cause it’s a work PC and I’m not the administrator user ….. I think

Right o, First issue, I tried to overwrite the bz* files on the USB, and it says i need permission to do this ! I'm using windows, any help would be ace ? Thanks D.

Thanks all. Yeah I’m getting regular db corruption across Plex, sonarr, radarr, etc. I’ve tried a slew of fixes from across Reddit and here and nothing seems to fix the issue. (Sonarr and co are on the cache with loads of spare space and the plex db is on a separate unassigned disk) which means it must be an OS issue. I do think im somewhat unique in this issue as I haven’t seen that many others with this problem I my last resort fox is going back to 6.9.2. I’ll let you know how I go, ill need a stiff drink before starting this process as it’s a bit nerve racking not having a restore button and having to mess with the usb files directly. Wish me luck

Hi All, I want to downgrade from 6.10.3 to 6.9.2 but its not an option in the "Update OS" section ? It only lists 6.10.3 and 6.10.2. Is there an easy way for me to downgrade to 6.9.2 ? I'm having loads of malformed db issues across my containers across different drives and i never had this issue for years on 6.9.2 Can someone help ? Cheers D

Hi, Yes the UD is mapped as slave mode. Whats the benefit of making it a separate Pool (of 1 drive) from the Cache drive ? In a nutshell I use the standard "Appdata" share for Radarr, Sonarr & Tautulli & a seperate UD drive for my Plex Metadata / Database / appdata. Im getting regular malformed db errors across all applications on both disks. Any recommendations would be ace. this has only started since updated to 6.10.3 I ran my server as is for 2 years with no problems. I even changed all my appdata references in docker to "/mnt/cache/appdata/radarr/" refernece cache rather than user, as i read that can fix this problem, but it didnt help. My DB's are corrupting almost weekly at this point.

maybe this will fix my database issues across dockers. I have multiple dockers with their appdata spread across the Appdata share on the cache and a seperate "Unassigned drive". And im having multiple database corruptions across these dockers. ..... its a shitemare !

I have the same problem. My Plex, Sonarr/Radarr & Tautulli DB's are corrupting on a regular basis (I've had to become a dab hand at repairing mysql databases.). Here is a link to how to repair plex db's:- youtube repair plex  DB Heres how to repair the "arrs" DBs:- https://wiki.servarr.com/useful-tools#recovering-a-corrupt-db-ui if anyone at Unraid could help that would be ace. I use the linux server dockers.

Hi, can someone explain the benefits of doing this rather than having a docker image ?? cheers D.

My Plex DB corrupts weekly at this point. Not sure what the solution is?

Hi All, Is it me or has something started cause the plex db to corrupt on a regular basis ?? I have to either repair or use a backup almost weekly now. I have all of my meta and app data on a separate SSD (Using unassigned devices) & reference it using "appdata: /mnt/disks/plexssd/" in the docker settings and im on version 6.10.3 of unraid. I do use Plex meta manager, but i dont think its that. I turned off nightly docker updates to weekly in case that was the issue, but the DB still corrupts on a weekly basis, sometimes within hours of my repairing it! Is it just me or have others started noticing this behavior ??
