it ran through the preclear just fine now! Thanks everyone. I also learned a few things - appreciate it.

I did not reboot or anything weird like that.

I just did that command - and attached the output . I have 128G of Ram and my Cache pool Is a 1TB m.2 drive I am running plex but the dockers are on my cache drive... Can you see anything weird from the images i attached?

Any ideas why my pre clear is failing on 2 new drives? preclear_disk_log.txt

Thank you!

This is what I found - I took a snippet - I believe like you are saying I should delete that file on Disk1

Can anyone tell me what is going on here - I noticed that I had lot of read and writes incrementing on the Parity and Disk 1. I do have a weekly appdata backup but I am not sure what is going on here. In the Logs you can see this is constantly incrementing. I can provide more info! Snippet from the logs: Mar 2 14:00:01 Tower root: mover: started Mar 2 14:00:01 Tower root: skip: /mnt/disk1/system/docker/docker.img Mar 2 14:00:01 Tower root: mover: finished Mar 2 15:00:01 Tower root: mover: started Mar 2 15:00:01 Tower root: skip: /mnt/disk1/system/docker/docker.img Mar 2 15:00:01 Tower root: mover: finished Mar 2 16:00:01 Tower root: mover: started Mar 2 16:00:01 Tower root: skip: /mnt/disk1/system/docker/docker.img Mar 2 16:00:01 Tower root: mover: finished Mar 2 17:00:01 Tower root: mover: started Mar 2 17:00:01 Tower root: skip: /mnt/disk1/system/docker/docker.img Mar 2 17:00:01 Tower root: mover: finished Mar 2 18:00:01 Tower root: mover: started Mar 2 18:00:01 Tower root: skip: /mnt/disk1/system/docker/docker.img Mar 2 18:00:01 Tower root: mover: finished

The docker/Vm was enabled when the cache was corrupted/missing - i am interested in knowing where they saved if you are saying they were saved on the array. I definitely need to sort out my cache drive and backup/restore plan... since I was in semi panic. The fact that I had to restore from backup from October is not good way to operate.

Thanks - I think that link helped ! I have things restoring and my old data. Thank you!

Did you disable Docker and VM Manager in Settings before replacing cache? I have not replaced the cache per say - when I first saw something was wrong I took a look and it said the drive was "missing" I rebooted and it still said not missing. I removed it and rebooted. Now the drive seems to no longer be missing - but it also is reporting it is "unmountable or missing file system," Unraid is prompting me to format it. I have not done that yet. i failed to mention - my appdata backup/restore is saved in /mnt/disk1/share_backup/ab_20241013_181402

Can anyone point me to a thread to restore dockers that I backed up with the Appdata Backup tool ? I have removed the cache drive and placed back in but its says it has no operating system and needs to be formatted. I have not done this yet. I have backups but cant seem to understand how to load the docker data from backups. I attached a picture. What other info can I provide?
