The flash drive was FUBAR, you were right. I think it went belly up and switched to permanent read-only. chdsk couldn't fix it, I changed it with a fresh one, moved the cache to the array, deleted the pool, created a new one with xfs, restored the docker apps from previous installations and now everything seems to be fine. I only lost the homeassistant VM but it's not a big deal, I'll build it from scratch. Serves me right for using a cheapo giveaway flashdisk from a google seminar. I wonder if this was the problem all along.

Here you go. I will try to swap the flash drive as well later tonight. patisonas-diagnostics-20241018-1459.zip

Unfortunately, I can't disable the docker, nor the VMs, nor change the use cache setting of the shares. Any setting I change is returned to its previous status immediately. Enable VMs Enable docker SMB export share

Ok, excuse my noobness, but how do i backup the cache? Do I install an app, or simply copy and paste? People mention ca backup, but it's not an option anymore. I tried installing appdata backup but it throws an error: plugin: unable to create parent directory for /boot/config/plugins/appdata.backup/appdata.backup-2024.09.25.tgz Also I can't change the SMB setting of the appdata share to export so I can mount it on my PC. I change export to yes and it turns it back to no.

It appears stuck on 69% left, and the log keeps repeating: Oct 17 13:29:01 PatisoNAS kernel: BTRFS info (device sde1): found 1 extents, stage: update data pointers over and over. It did the same before on my previous attempts to balance.

Thank you JorgeB, you're the best. That allowed me to access appdata and delete some unused leftover folders. But I still see multiple profiles: Isn't this a problem? I think I want to get rid of 2 SSDs and leave the big 2TB SSD in there as a single cache disk with xfs. Should I create a new pool? How can I do it without losing data?

Help! I have a btrfs cache pool with 3 SSDs. I noticed it's in Raid1 mode, so I thought it would be an amazing idea to change it to Raid0, so I can reap all the speed that I deserve. I used the balance thingy, but nothing happened. (or so I thought). So my next brilliant idea was to use the balance thingy again to change into single mode. Again, nothing happened. I thought I saw some errors, so I panicked and tried to switch back to raid1. (Here comes the balance thingy again.) Now I can't do anything. Can't create a new pool, can't un-assign a disk, can't change shares to mount it to my PC, can't install appdata backup. I ran btrfs device usage /mnt/cache and it shows 5 data profiles Am I cooked? Help me Obi-One Kenobi, you're my only hope. patisonas-diagnostics-20241017-0955.zip

Solved it, Ι had to go in unraid to: Settings/SMB/SMB Extras/Samba extra configuration and change it to yes: ntlm auth = Yes

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This fixed it immediately! I spent weeks trying everything, I couldn't sleep at nights! Thank you, thank you! Why isn't this enabled by default?!??

At least yours works. I can't get samba shares to work for the life of me. I tried putting unraid in exit node mode, of course turning off netbios, various combinations of settings, but it simply does not work. What am I doing wrong? PatisoNAS-tailscale-diag-20240129-151621.zip

I have used Duplicati to do that for quite some time now, and it seemed to be working perfectly, but lately it throws some errors that make me doubt its reliability. Therefore, I'm on the same boat, looking for a solution to backup unraid to DSM (synology)

Any news on this one?
