No Docker. There was a VMS tab but none installed or running. So I went into the VMS setting and changed Enable VMs to "NO" and the tab is gone. I still have the 3 newly created folder though in disk6 which I was hoping I could delete without causing any issues but was hoping someone could let me know if they are necessary or not.

The Plex part is done. I just had to point it to a new location. Instead of pointing to each individual disk now it just points to a user share tower/MOVIES. The three folders I am asking about (system / isos / domains) only show up under disk6 and were generated when I enabled user shares.

I know this has been posted a bunch of times and I read a some threads before posting however I'm not an expert when it comes to Unraid and don't want to mess anything up. I have been using Unraid for years with user shares turned off and just accessed the disks directly. So there have not been any folders created by Unraid. Today I decided to turn on user shares to combine all my MOVIE folders into one share for Plex. After enabling user shares it created these 3 folders on disk6: system ---> libvirt ---> libvirt.img isos ---> empty domains ---> empty Do I need any of these folders or is it safe to delete them? I am not using any VM's or dockers if that matters. I also do not have a cache drive. My setup is pretty much as basic as it gets with no plugins installed and mostly everything is on the default settings. If I must keep these folders that is fine however is it OK to move them to a folder not in the user share? I have 7 disks on my array but only allow disk1 to disk6 on the user share. I excluded disk 7 because that is for backup files versus media so if I need to keep these newly created folders I would prefer to have them in disk7. However since that share is excluded from the shares I didn't know if that would mess things up. If possible I would just prefer to delete them if I don't need them. Thanks in advance.

I performed the extended test and it said errors occurred. Attached is the SMART report. I am not that familiar with reading these so could someone who is let me know if the drive is shot? TOSHIBA_MD04ACA500_Y5B9K6T5FS9A-20201214-2011.txt

I decided to do a parity check before upgrading one of my 2TB drives to a 5TB one. Now there is a red X besides my disk 3 and it says Device is Disabled - Contents Emulated. The parity check was going great before I went to bed. I have the spare 5TB I could put in the place of the one with a red X however was hoping to use that to upgrade one of the smaller 2TB drives. The diagnostics attached are after I rebooted this morning and unfortunately I did not grab one beforehand when the parity check errored out and the device became disabled. I know that was a mistake since diagnostics after a reboot are not that helpful however I panicked since I rarely have issues and was hoping it would reboot OK. I am not an unraid expert and just use it for basic media storage so was hoping someone could provide advice on how to proceed next. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. tower-diagnostics-20201213-0943.zip

That did the trick. I upgraded from 2GB to 4GB and it worked. Thanks for the help.

Yes, as I mentioned it downloads to 100% and then fails.

I am trying to update from 6.8.2 to 6.8.3 using the Update OS under the tools section however am getting an error. In the past updating this way worked and I was able to go from 6.5.3 to 6.8.2, however it's giving an error when trying to go from 6.8.2 to 6.8.3. It downloads to 100% and says the following: plugin: updating: unRAIDServer.plg plugin: downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.8.3-x86_64.zip ... failed (File I/O error) plugin: wget: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.8.3-x86_64.zip download failure (File I/O error) Just looking for some suggestions before downloading manually and updating the flash drive the old way. I included my diagnostics file as well. tower-diagnostics-20200429-1914.zip

Awesome and I will give that a try. I like having 2 separate movie libraries in Plex so that way the DVD's and BLU-RAY's are not mixed together. I rarely watch anything in DVD anymore due to the lack of quality however some of the movies have not been made in Blu-ray yet so that is the best format I have for now.

My apologies for having Movies and movies written in my previous posts I changed everything to all capital letters so that way I never make that mistake. Here is the actual folder structure of my setup along with the docker mapping and it worked: /tv/mnt <-- /disk1/TV SHOWS/ /movies/disk1 <-- /mnt/disk1/TV SHOWS/ /movies/disk2 <-- /mnt/disk2/MOVIES/BLU-RAY/ /movies/disk3 <-- /mnt/disk3/MOVIES/BLU-RAY/ /movies/disk4 <-- /mnt/disk4/MOVIES/BLU-RAY/ /movies/disk5 <-- /mnt/disk5/MOVIES/BLU-RAY/ /movies/disk6 <-- /mnt/disk6/MOVIES/BLU-RAY/ /movies/disk6 <-- /mnt/disk6/MOVIES/DVD/ /config <--> /mnt/disk6/Docker/appdata/plex So if I just choose /mnt/user/MOVIES/BLU-RAY as the host path that will grab all files from disk2 to disk6 with the BLU-RAY folders?

I don't think I actually have a host path of /mnt/user/Movies/Blu-ray since I never setup my unraid to have user share folders. I uploaded a picture of all my folders: My goal is just to add all my media from the different disks to Plex. My media is simple and setup as: /mnt/disk1/movies/blu-ray /mnt/disk2/movies/blu-ray /mnt/disk3/tv So I am thinking I just need to have 3 individual container paths for each of those and I will be OK.

Thank you very much and I will read that faq. The one thing I noticed is the Plex docker did not like me using the same container path for 2 different hosts. For example: host :/mnt/disk1/Movies/Blu-ray with container path /bluray host :/mnt/disk2/Movies/Blu-ray with container path /bluray That gave an error and removed the docker from my unraid. So I guess going forward I will just name the container path to match the disk like /bluray1 and /bluray2. My initial concern with setting the container path to /bluray instead of /mnt/disk2/Movies/Blu-ray is I thought it might try to create that user share /bluray on my server. However now that I understand container path is basically the name my plex app sees that makes more sense.

What is the difference in Container Path and Host Path? For example if I am adding movies from a location /mnt/disk2/Movies/Blu-ray do I want both Container path and Host path to be the same? My movie collection did show up in PlexUI when I made them the same so I figured I did something correct however just wanted some clarity on what each of those paths are for and if they should be identical. I do not have user shares setup on my unraid so there is no "movie" folder that spans across all the disks and I manage my movies disk by disk. I apologize in advanced if my questions are dumb however I have been using unraid for over 10 years now but never had any dockers installed. I tried searching for the difference between the two paths however wasn't able to find any specifics. If this is the wrong place to post then please let me know where is more appropriate since I am a newbie when it comes to dockers and Plex.
