Removing cache pool
At some point in the past I setup a 2 disk cache pool and then later removed one of the disks leaving a 1 disk cache pool. My OCD tells me that 1 disk doesn’t make a pool and I need to remove the pool without losing data on the cache drive. Is this possible? How? Or maybe I need to ignore my OCD.😁 brunnhilde-diagnostics-20251209-2120.zip

Yeah, used to use a 2 drive cache pool. Just a single drive there now. Never changed it back. No zfs pools though.

No. The SMB network will see your shares (STORAGE, Movies, whatever you choose to name them). You can share the individual disks but it’s not recommended. Normally the only place you’ll see the disks is in the Unraid webUI and data will be spread across all disks in the array if you’re using the default settings so that you’ll wind up with a single apparent mapped location that equals the total of all the drives. Edit: single location for each share that is.

Absolutely. And IMO an array is easier to work with but that’s just an opinion from someone who knows almost nothing about zfs.😁

Unraid originally offered a parity protected array (a bunch of drives with parity protection). In the past couple of years it has also incorporated the ability to use zfs pools. You should see sections for both of these on the main tab. I believe either of these will work for you but you can see that I don’t use pools at all so I’m probably not the best source of info for that. A quick google search turned up this article.

Any shares that you want on the cache can be moved by setting the configuration so that cache is the primary storage and then running mover to move the shares. When the initial data transfer is complete. Are you using pools or is it the array?

Also, depending on the amount of data you will be transferring to the new machine, you may not want to assign a cache drive until the transfer is complete. Large transfers (TB’s) could overwhelm a 500GB drive and the transfer will probably fail. Transfer speeds might be slightly slower without the cache drive but a lot fewer headaches and you won’t be waiting for mover to empty the cache so you can resume transferring.

When you stop the array you’ll see a list of disks (parity, disk 1, disk 2, etc) each is a pull-down menu that will list all unassigned drives. You can select a drive to assign to that spot. When you re-start the array the system will clear the drive (write zeros to all sectors) if it’s not already and format it. This will erase all data on the drive. If you’re assigning a parity drive the system will also start calculating parity to it. I would recommend not assigning a parity drive until you have complete transferring your data though. Maintaining parity will slow the data transfer since it requires writing the new data to the array and the parity drive. Most Unraid procedures can be found with a google search and there are many videos on YouTube. Feel free to ask questions if your not sure though.

Recommendations for docker to share files via url link
Thanks. Looks fairly simple. Took me a minute to figure out that "Port" was really webui.

Recommendations for docker to share files via url link
I’m looking for recommendations for a docker that I can self-host on Unraid that will allow me to share pdf’s via a url link on my local network. Intended usage will be to add links to documents and be able to open the shared file.

I’m far from a VPN expert but looks like the problem is here- 2025-12-03 19:45:03,340 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: 2025-12-03 19:45:03 [UNDEF] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting 2025-12-03 19:45:03 SIGHUP[soft,ping-restart] received, process restarting Google shows that one possible cause is too many clients connected to the same account.

Does supervisord.log show an error with vpn set to on?

Yes. Possibly. Have you tried connecting to a different endpoint?

Unassigned Devices Preclear - a utility to preclear disks before adding them to the array

Unassigned Devices Preclear - a utility to preclear disks before adding them to the array
There also doesn't seem to be a way to follow preclear progress. It's been a while since I last used preclear but isn't this supposed to link to a progress window? Preclear should be running but I can't open the window.

That’s the right network. Afraid I’m out of ideas.

If you can access the GUI with VPN set to Off but not when it’s On that usually suggests that either the LAN Network is misconfigured in the docker or you are connecting from something other than LAN (guest network, WiFi network, IoT network, etc). What is the IP you are connecting from?

And you are accessing from LAN?

This may be your issue. Are you using the temporary password that you redacted?

Just took a quick look but this may be your issue. I think you meant to map host port 8180 to container port 8180.

You’re going to need to at least post your supervisord log and docker run command so others can see what you’ve got happening. Be sure to redact users/passwords.

Sorry for my misguided post. Thought I was posting in the qbittorrentvpn thread. I really should pay more attention. 😳
