On my system it looks like only that file exists there so perhaps it not necessary to backup system then.

It looks like that didn't work as I expected. I was hoping it would just exclude that file. What I'm attempting to do is also backup the system file since I only have one cache drive.

Thanks! It looks like it came along because I specified /mnt/user/system/ as part of the backup. I've added it to the global exclusion section.

Hi, You answered the wrong question. My question was ...can you amend the store description to note that addtional setup is required and to see the support form? And add something like

Running Appdata Backup with "stop all containers, backup, start" and I'm getting this error in the log: I'm not sure what to do here since everything is stopped.

Thanks, yeah I misspoke there. I am using the NAS aspect for backups. I don't need HA. I have appdata installed and backing up my VMs only. My single cache drive is BTRFS.

Howdy all. Background: I built my new system apparently looking at the old style documentation (prefer cache) and I must have hit things mid-cycle because I overlooked cache pools; I just saw cache disk (singular). I'm looking for some thoughts on how to improve my setup since I just installed Plex. I also want to pick your brain for how I might make this setup a bit better. Hardware: 40 core Xenon CPUs 128gig DDR 4 memory 8 Bay tower 1TB SSD cache drive 2 Parity Drives 2 highly populated 4TB drives from my previus Unraid server 3 new 2TB enterprise disks barely populated 8 Bay USB 3 extension tower 8 barely populated disks of various sizes Nvidia card for transcoding Problem 1: Any time I make any changes or updates to Docker applications, my system freezes. Nothing responds until Docker is done. Problem 2: Docker apps are generally slow Plex is VERY slow. Calibre is slow. Channels DVR is not slow but I plan to give this up in favour of Plex. What I've done: Moved Plex transcoding to the cache drive Moved Timemachine backups to the cache drive (to relieve the array from constant usage) Other Information: Because I only have 1 SSD cache drive, I did not move system and appdata because if the cache drive fails, I'm toast. I wish there was a way to back it up to the array in case it fails so I don't lose anything. Maybe there is and I haven't found it yet? (See that question below) Because of the previous line, I also didn't bypass fuse by specifying /mnt/cache. The original intent of the server has been for NAS purposes. Because of this, I highly value data redundancy. The introduction of DVR workloads is new but it's been successful with the family so I'm going to continue this. I have some VMs running on the cache disk and I'm worried about being able to recover if I lose the cache (see further down). Things that I've been considering: Adding another SSD and add it to the cache pool enabling me to move over system and appdata I'd have to evacuate and remove a lower sized disk from the USB array and then move one of the disks from the tower. I'd hate to move one of the high quality new disks but that would be the easiest. This choice is a bit of a pain due to the tower but I can do this. Remove 2 or 3 of the new enterprise disks from the array and make them a new cache pool and move over system and appdata. Things I don't understand and could use some guidance on: Is there a way to backup the cache pool such that if it dies the system will use the array? i.e. a "copier" vs a "mover" Is data replicated across the cache pool so if I have two cache pool disks and I lose one the system will continue to function? I really appreciate any guidance you can provide me. Thanks!

@ich777 Thanks for this plugin! In the App description would you please add "additional setup required for Docker, see forums" or something? Took me a while to find the key values and such but once I did it worked like a charm.

I discovered a bunch of .fuse-hidden files that couldn't be rm -rf .* so I stopped and then started the array and was able to remove all the files in the share. Hoping this line of thought helps others. Currently time machine is backing up. It's quite possible that I assumed that rm -rf * worked and in fact left a sparse bundle around.

I discovered smbdiagnose. It generated a pcap that is saying there's a server error regarding files. I'll go nuke everything in that share and try again. I did that once but maybe it'll work this time.

Thanks @ChannelDfor posting above. I have two macs, Intel and M2, both on Sonoma. I've applied all the settings to Unraid extras. The M2 works fine with the first nsmb.conf (it did not prior to these changes). The intel doesn't. I moved the intel to the updated config and my problem remains. They are both wired on the same LAN but the intel keeps getting "interrupted by a network problem". I can assure everyone that the share is still there and working. I don't use SMB for anything but the time machine backup. I can't find anything in the logs or console which I find strange. Anyone have any thoughts on what else I can do to troubleshoot/modify?

@JorgeB Thank you for the reply. Yesterday, prior to your post, uninstalled and then reinstalled GPU Top. Today, I went to confirm the issue was still occurring before uninstalling and it seems that uninstall/reinstall of GPU Top, along with a reboot, has stopped the errors. I use hardware transcoding and hardware deinterlacer with Channels and that app suggested to install GTOP. I'm going to install the GPU statistics plugin to see how much the GPU is being used because GTOP has consistently said it is not being used.

Hi, I did a quick forum search and I see a few posts about i915 issues but I didn't see the exact issue I'm having. FixCommonIssues alerted me that /var/log was filling up. It was syslog and it's packed with this repeating error: The server does have intel graphics but no monitor connected. I do have "Intel GPU TOP" and the intel version of Channel's DVR installed but a quick look at the logs says they aren't directly involved. Diagnostics attached. Relevant file is syslog.1 I'd appreciate any tips you might have for me. unqnap-diagnostics-20231027-1217.zip
