I am a Mac user and have restored my flash drive a couple of times from backups on my Mac but it is a location being offered by unraid not a file as below in the image. I will have a look at the flash drive and see if it is shown on there somehow ?

I was swapping over my graphics cards and may have knocked something in the case but after a couple of reboots (changing vfio settings), my system died. A HDD failed, which I am in the process of rebuilding onto a new matched drive so that part is ok.. My cache drive also seemed to drop out of existence. After checking cables etc it seems to have reappeared as an unmounted drive. If I stop the array I have the option of selecting it as the '._cache' or 'cache' drive. I have not noticed the '._cache' option before.... Either one tells me that the drive does not have a file system and so needs to be formatted. My app data is backed up so it is not the end of the world, but I am confused about the two locations and if there is anyway to recover what was on the cache it would be appreciated. Google doesn't really bring anything up for ._cache so here I am 🙂

Spants, you are a legend. I had to remove the old docker and directory for it to work. I did just try pulling the new build first and then running a NEWPERMS on the cache but it didn't work so I just removed everything and started again and it has connected from mqtt-spy on my Macbook to my unRaid server just fine. Now to have a play with OwnTracks and HomeAssist and see how I get on. Very happy - thank you.

+1 from me. I'm new to unRaid, Dockers and Home Assistant so am learning everyday. I have just found this docker though and now I understand what it does, I am struggling to get it to work but from reading this it appears that it is because I store my docker file on my cache disk at /mnt/cache/appdata/ too. Would be great if it could work at this location. However if not, how easy is it to move my docker file (and will it mess up all my configs??)
