Hey all looking for some help please. I'm running V6.12.3. I have two cache pools: I have shares as follows: What I want to happen is have all my downloads from NZBGet occur on the "cache_downloads" pool. Once everything is renamed I want to move it to my Media folder and live on the "cache" pool until the mover transfers it to the array on it's move schedule. NZBGet downloads are working proper and the files end up on "cache_downloads" pool. I manually move them using Midnight Commander (I navigate to user/downloads and move them to user/media). The problem is that it just created a "Media" folder on the "cache_downloads" pool instead of on the "cache" pool. Now when I invoke the mover there is nothing on "cache" to move to the array. I have a few questions at this moment: In Midnight Commander should I be moving direct from the "cache_downloads" download folder instead of user/downloads? What is the best way to get the files in the "Media" folder stuck on "cache_downloads" pool safely over to the array? I'm thinking I change the Media share temporarily to be "cache_downloads" and invoke the mover and when finished put it back to "cache". Would the Dynamix File Manager work to transfer between pools or would it exhibit the same behavior as Midnight Commander? Maybe I'm not handling the smartest way, but my hopes were to have all the IO in downloading, repairing, extracting, renaming and so on happen on the unprotected cache pool then transfer it to the protected cache pool where I'll let it stay for quite some time before invoking the mover. Likely we will consume that media before it gets to the array and therefore spare some additional array wear and tear. Should I just run a single cache pool with all four drives in ZFS Raidz? TIA for any help or direction.

I had to reinstall the docker to fix it. Hasn’t happened since.

I'm in the same boat, what was the resolution?

Anyone one else having an issue loading files into the left window? I click and get the choice to Add Folder or Add Files, but when I make a selection nothing happens. I don't get the usual dialog box to navigate my directories anymore. I tried restarting the docker and refreshing the WebGUI but no luck. Docker is up to date.

How'd it work out for you? I'm a couple months of uptime since the SSD change and no errors and all my UnRAID stability issues are gone.

I'm not technical enough in this area, but does this help us with Nvidia GPU transcoding in UnRAID: I'm running an older FX AMD processor and would love to just add a GPU to get more simultaneous transcoding streams without upgrading my CPU, MB and RAM.

Got the same drive, though I suspect many others would work as well to replace the Samsung Evo SSD. It's been about a month of up-time and not one error now.

I tried all of those options and I even used a cable that was working for the same model SSD in my gaming rig, and in my UNRAID rig I get the errors. Finally replaced the cache drive Samsung SSD with a Western Digital and for 30 days so far I haven't had one error.

Which WD did you get? I'm considering the Western Digital Blue 2.5" 500GB or 1TB SSD.

Well shoot. Thanks for letting me know and saving me some time! I'll try two more brands of SATA cables directly to my motherboard. If they don't work it looks like I have a 500GB Samsung 860 SSD as a coaster and have to purchase a different brand.

Excellent note. This is the only one I can get my hands on, can you tell me if trim will be supported? LSI SAS2008-8I SATA 9211-8i 6Gbps 8 Ports HBA PCI-E RAID Controller Card If I can't use the trim plugin with my SSD on this controller than I won't even bother.

I'm in the same boat as you! Tried at least 4 different cables of 2 different brands in total. Tried all ports on my motherboard. I have an AMD setup with Samsung 860 SSD. RMA'd the drive and the new one has the CRC errors as well. I'd hate to have to change from the Samsung SSD but at this rate I might have to. I know you are experienced and very helpful, so thank you. I think I should try 2 more cable brands before giving up on this brand of SSD. Note: I've read a few posts about issues between Samsung SSDs and AMD board's SATA controller. I can likely acquire an LSI (or similar) PCIe 2-port SAS controller with the SAS-to-SATA breakout cables. Is it worth going through the effort of installing this in my build and trying the Samsung 860 SSD on that controller?

I'm using an AMD setup and i'm on my second Samsung 860 SSD. Changing cables, ports and drives have done nothing for the continuous CRC errors. Do you have any tips that are not Windows related, as I'm not using any VMs in my UnRAID setup.

Did either of you guys find a SATA cable that works? I had a Samsung 860 Evo that had CRC error slowly increasing. Tried new cables and different ports to no avail. Finally decided to RMA the drive, put the new one in and after only 2 days I've already got 26 CRC errors again. Note that I also have an AMD setup.

Thanks for the advice, I'll update tonight.

BUMP So I just attempted to update my Plex Media Server docker container and it failed to update. As soon as I clicked back on the docker page in the WebUI I have Docker Service Failed To Start again. Please can someone comment on my issue? Attached diagnostics taken directly after attempting to update PMS container. tower-diagnostics-20190602-1532.zip

Any chance I can get some insight into my issue? I don't mind being hijacked and others helped of course as I can learn from it; only the others issues differ from mine.

BUMP

I'm still having issues. I've replaced the SSD with a mechanical drive and sent the SSD away for RMA. With the mechanical drive installed and formatted, I deleted the docker.img and recreated it. I still got the Docker Service Failed To Start error. I again used the method @Squid detailed in other posts, and edited the docker config to tell the service not to run. I restart the server, delete the docker.img and recreate and I was back in business after installing Previous Apps. Things worked well for a day or so, when I noticed Plex not responding. Went into the UI for UnRAID and on the docker tab I see I have the Docker Service Failed To Start again. I have no errors on my cache drive this time. I went through the steps again to recreate the docker image and sure enough it failed again within a few days. I attempted one last time last night to recreate it but this time it wouldn't even work using @Squid's steps. Please help me. My server is basically unusable without having NZBGet and Plex docker containers running. tower-diagnostics-20190516-0814.zip

Thanks for the reply. I've tried changing the SATA cable twice now and I get the CRC errors still. I've also tried different SATA ports on the motherboard and still get the same errors. Is it possible the drive is bad? It's a Samsung SSD under a year old, do you think they'd honor warranty? I don't know how to prove to them it's bad though as it does run.

Unraid 6.6.7 This has happened twice in as many weeks now. I update a docker application or update all and the update completes fine I only have two docker applications, NZBGet and Plex After clicking Done in the completed update window I get the "Docker Service Failed to Start" error Both my NZBGet and Plex are functioning still though I try to stop the array to do a clean reboot, and I keep getting stuck at "Array Stopping - Retry unmounting disk share(s)..." First time this happened I performed a dirty shutdown and had to do a parity check, which ended up valid. I don't want to have to do a dirty shutdown again is my biggest issued here. Next is why the Docker service keeps failing to start. The last time I had to edit the config from "yes" to "no", reboot, delete docker image, recreate and reboot. I actually had to to this three times before I stopped getting the Docker service failed to start error. Please help, I ran a diagnostic, do I just upload the zip it created? Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help me. Edit: tower-diagnostics-20190507-0942.zip

Thanks for all your effort, it is much appreciated! It's not showing an update for me yet, but I'm sure it will come soon. Excited for the new subtitle feature in Plex. Edit: Never mind I thought I had already checked for docker updates but I hadn't. I got it. Edit 2: Well the "More" option for On-Demand Subtitles in Plex isn't showing for me. Not on the Android app or the Web App and both are up to date. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

@Benson @Hoopster Sorry for the delay in following up. I appreciate the help and wanted to report back now that I have replaced my Marvell SATA controller with an LSI 9211-8i. None of the suggestions recommended allowed me to boot without a GPU like I used to be able to. I had been waiting for an LSI 9211-8i that I ordered from China and I just got it and installed it last night. I flashed the LSI controller to the latest firmware, as well as IT mode. I chose not to flash it with a BIOS. I can now successfully boot without my GPU inserted again! My previous issue must have been with the SATA controller I was using, but I still have no idea why I was able to boot without a GPU and using the Marvell for over a year. Oh well, I now have space for four extra SATA drives now thanks to the LSI.

Thanks for the help. I successfully flashed using the commands in my OP. Using '-listall' shows just like your reply, FW Ver: 20.00.07.00 and x86-BIOS: No Image. No I just need to wait to get home from work to test this beauty out! I'll be replacing a Marvel 4 port SATA controller that has been giving me issues.

@johnnie.black thanks, so having No Image for the x86-BIOS won't be an issue or cause the SAS2008 controller to brick when I restart/power off? I assume it will be just fine and it would brick if there was no firmware. Is there a large performance difference having a BIOS image flashed vs not?
