That didn't actually answer any of my questions directly, and I still don't know. Is Windows a separate machine or not?

I'm not entirely clear. Is it your intention to have Unraid and Windows running on the same computer? So you will be running Windows in a VM, but you want it to have its own drive not managed by Unraid?

I don't use this container but I assume posting your credential certificate and VPN key isn't a good idea. Maybe edit your post.

Why do you want to have only one share? Most would make a Movies share and other shares along with it. Then you have more control over how each is configured.

yes

Unfortunately you rebooted so there is nothing in the syslog to tell us what may have caused the disk to be disabled. Your Unraid version and some of your plugins are not up-to-date. Any reason why? Also, many of your disks are still ReiserFS.. SMART for that disk looks OK, but it is pretty old. Safest approach would be to rebuild to a new disk and keep the original as a backup in case there is a problem with the rebuild. I didn't check SMART for the other disks. Do any of them have SMART warnings on the Dashboard? If you really want to rebuild to that same disk then you should run an extended SMART test on it first.

If the disk does in fact have files, then they would have been written after the disk was formatted. This could have even been during the rebuild. Or if it is a cache-yes share, then maybe they were moved to the disk from cache.

Put flash in your PC and let it checkdisk. While in your PC make a backup of flash. Try again, be sure to boot from a USB2 port.

You formatted the disk. No doubt you have files somewhere on the array but what evidence do you have that the formatted disk has files?

You really should just take some time to determine what is truly important enough that you can't afford to lose it. Most likely it won't require a lot of capacity. Then just back that up to disks outside the array (those disks in the drawer after you weed out the bad ones). That is probably going to be a better approach than what you are considering.

Most likely just filesystem overhead and no actual files.

Do you have a backup of your flash drive?

You still seem to be missing my point. It is entirely possible that your mappings are correct, but the application within the container is configured to write to a path that isn't mapped. And all those other things you said you did to fix this don't have anything to do with this problem. Is your docker image actually growing when no dockers are running? I assume not. So one of your applications is writing to a path that isn't mapped. Which docker(s) are you actually running when docker image fills? To give another example. Since you mentioned deluge earlier, and I gave an example using Transmission. These are both torrent applications. If you have the deluge container with /Download in the container mapped to /mnt/user/Download on the host, but within the settings of deluge itself, you tell it to write to /download, then it is going to write into the docker image. /Download and /download are not the same thing. And /Download is mapped, but /download isn't. Anything written to a path that isn't mapped is in the docker image.

Something still missing. This thread was not "starred" as one I had posted in. And in fact, nothing I posted during the "outage" shows up in my "Activity", though the posts are in the forum. Looking at the other users on this thread I see their posts on this thread are missing from their Activity also. Brit, for example, has things in his Activity where he reacted to posts in this thread, but his posts in this thread are not part of his Activity. Maybe we will have to live with it, but I have no easy way to find any thread I may have responded to this past day. ***EDIT*** This post itself does show in my Activity, but the previous post in my Activity was from before the problem happened.

How did you get from here: to here:

Please study this section of the post I already made. It IS NOT about the mappings. It is instead about having the application not actually using the mappings but instead writing to a path that is not mapped. You almost certainly have some downloading application that is writing its downloads to a path that is not mapped.

Post docker run command as explained at the very first link in the Docker FAQ: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/57181-docker-faq/

That's what I meant by "ping". I have also called it "tag". I've never used them on any other forum so I don't know what they are supposed to be called. Yes they work. And some others, some of which I get emails for and some I only see if I visit the forum. I haven't specifically noticed any notifications not working. But if I didn't get notified I guess I wouldn't notice.😉

Still... Notifications are the one way I am still able to easily get back to threads I am supporting. But I don't follow any, so unless I am "pinged" or "liked" I don't get any notifications. Has anyone heard any news about this?

Since you're new, and attempting to do this in a way that may cause problems, I thought I would mention. If you get a disabled disk, it is probably a connection issue, not a bad disk. And the "normal" way to fix a disabled disk is to rebuild it from parity. So another time-consuming process that might have problems with connections. That is why I mentioned the possibility of running without parity as long as you are using USB for your data disks. Do you have backups of anything important and irreplaceable?

Do you have a backup of Flash?

Put flash in your PC and let it checkdisk. Are you booting from a USB2 port? You should.

Still broken
