*** CLOSED *** @trurl *sigh that's what I was afraid of. Still would like to know what happened during the unraid OS update that hosed it. Many thanks again for trying to help...it is appreciated!

Hi @trurl - I tried that a while back and all it did was replace the existing broken instance. My logic, which may very well be incorrect, makes me think I need to reinstall Plex from scratch. Ergo, removing all traces of the program before installing again. Thoughts? Thanks again for your assistance.

Thanks @trurl for the db repair option. Read it all, installed it, ran it, but alas it did not restore my db; at least to its original state. I suppose, grudgingly, I am relegated to re-installing Plex from scratch. That said, other than deleting the Plex folder, is there anything within 'system' I need to remove as well? I am guessing I will need to delete and create a new Docker.img file as well, correct? I suppose I am asking what all needs to go to get a fresh install of Plex? Thanks again! [edit] Oh...I did search for any "uninstall" or reinstall" options; couldn't find anything specific.

@MowMdown Geez...that's disappointing actually. As for the appdata/system shares that is strange though. I have paid close attention to this since back when there 4 options. I will look into this and change them back. So as for the Plex wreck, who would you suggest I reach out to so as to try and figure how to proceed without losing any of my actual data. If I have to go through the pain of a fresh install of Plex, I would like to be able to get some direction. Thank you for your time. Jeff

@MowMdown thank you for responding. Diags attached. (I did manage to get the Plex Docker to start by RE-installing the Nvidia driver. If I need to post an updated Diag, let me know.

Hi all, I don’t like rants or whiny messages, which is why I waited over a week to post. I upgrade from 6.9 to 7.3. I did the prep, I read the instructions, and once again major issues (same thing happened in an earlier 6.x upgrade). I did not receive any error messages during or after the upgrade. The issues always are around my Plex install; it is 99% of the use for this server (~100 Tb). This time is worse… my Plex database appears to be corrupted, I cannot add any new movies/shows/etc to the Plex system. I can no longer watch any of the remaining movies/shows/etc. Friends can no longer authenticate to watch anything either. I am hoping that the appdata backup with unraid Connect app did its job and my accurate Plex db is sitting somewhere. I have two other servers to update, but am not doing anything until this is resolved. I am seeking assistance (UNRAID) with this mess, please. I have not attached any files/logs/etc. as I am frankly tired of guessing what is needed. Thank you, Jeff

Well, I thought it was fixed. Just realized I am missing (recent) entire seasons, and new additions, of shows and movies. The TV Shows and Movies are still in the appropriate folders though, just completely missing from Plex. Also, all the fixes I did to the db/display art/duplicate listings, are all now back to the way they were before as well. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks./

Ha! Right church...wrong pew! I installed (re-installed???) the xx.xx.03 version and she fired right up! Can't thank you enough...I was sweatin' bullets! Be well and have a great summer...assuming you're a part of the world that's coming into summer and not winter! 😏

Hi and THANKS for replying...I live by this server! It appears my only option is 580.159.03 (see attached) If you know how to get around this, man I'd really be grateful!!!

Upgraded to 7.3.0 and now Plex is offering up an "Execution Error" Attached as much info as possible to see if anyone can assist.

@JorgeB Thanks got it! Appreciate it!

@JorgeB Interesting...we just had a brief power outage that took down the big Plex server but not this little workhorse. Thought it odd at the time... I did try to "scrub the pool" and it did not seem to make a difference. I will do it again anyway. Would you point me to the directions to "reset the stats", please? So in the end, reset the stats and just roll with it? Would it be beneficial to restart? Finally, (foregoing the obvious) is there a 'shutdown' process difference between restart and shutdown? Thanks for the assist!!

Hi all, been a while so bear with me... I upgrade my one server to 7.3.0 from 7.2. (5 iterations prior) and one of my Cache pool drives is now throwing loads of errors. (see attached) Is it really just coincidental that the drive failed at the same time I upgraded? Or did I miss something along the way during the upgrade? Attached files to hopefully assist those in the know. Thank you everyone! darktowerbeams-diagnostics-20260526-1035.zip Document1.pdf

Thanks! I'll look into it. Shame really, seems like it could be a really nice product (Shinobi).

Hi all, So far as I can tell, Shinobi Pro installed just fine. Is Shinobi Pro still free to use? Is there a better option? I cannot figure out how to save any video clips I want or how to get alerts/view on my phone. Are any of the above working options in Shinobi? Seems like a nice product, but all I can do is add cams and view clips in Shinobi itself. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Hey all! (Happy Labor Day!) So my instance of Bitwarden (BW) took a dump - server too. I am able to see the db file in appdata>Bitwarden_rs. But since I was self hosting BW, I cannot access that db anymore. My ask is to Import that data into my new Vaultwarden docker. Better yet, my FireFox browser Extension for BW has everything in it and I would love to grab all that data. Only thing is FF extension will not let me at the stuff in my Organization I created. Any thoughts on how to retrieve/restore all that data would be graciously accepted! Thanks much everyone!

Replaced basically everything, piece by piece. The last was the Cache SSD's (Cache is now RAID 0). System has been stable for about 2 weeks now. Guess we'll see! (Thanks JorgeB for your input)

@JorgeB Thank you for getting back to me! So, am I able to throw together another box and stick the existing Flash drive (could it be the flash drive that's bad?) and (potentially) have a stable system again? One that has the exact config as the current? Of course now that I think about it, the Flash only 'holds' the Unraid system between boots etc., right? Or am I going to have to rebuild everything (Unraid-wise), Dockers, Plugins, custom networks, and so on? *****UPDATE/Question: Just to make sure it is not the Flash drive itself, is it possible to get a new flash drive and simply copy the contents of the old one over to the new one? Test it, then if it works, get with Unraid to get the flash drive ID's changed? (Regardless, can this be done at all? Just for future knowledge...) ALL my Cloud info is on there, on a single drive with dual parity. I know (backup), but I thought the dual parity would cover me in the event of a catastrophic failure. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

System has been unstable (mostly locking up randomly) requiring hard reset. MB was bad. Replaced. All good for about two weeks. Cache drive (singular SSD) failing, replaced with two (2) new SSD in RAID 1 pool. PCIE SAS/SATA card failed after everything got moved around, thankfully. Replaced card. New SSD's in pool 'cache' and appear to be working; however, the drive lights constantly stay on...? ONLY WAY to get the system to boot is in SAFE MODE. I am able to start Dockers (image file replaced with new as system would hang before when starting Docker), they seem to be working. Rebooted 2-3 times at this point, in Safe Mode and all appeared well. *****UPDATE 2 hours later....now every Docker is hanging. Tried rebuilding image, but now that is hung too.... Sigh... Tried to run Parity check...nothing. Button lights up, click...nothing. Tried to reboot from GUI...nothing. Doesn't matter what I clicked on...nothing. Had to hard reset again. Got system back up, in Safe Mode, got the 'log file' but Diagnostics hung where doc shows. I just shut down my desktop in frustration. Came back about 15 minutes later (cold one in hand) restarted desktop, logged into server (still in Safe Mode) and Diagnostics ran. I do not know what else to look at other than a corrupted file in the USB and I have no idea (sort of) what I am looking at in the logs or diagnostics. *******#2 UPDATE - anyway to "rebuild the appdata and Docker on the Flash USB ? ANY help GREATLY appreciated!!!! Log and Diagnostics attached. Also attached word doc showing how far diagnostics got the first time before it hung. Thanks everyone. darktowerbeams-diagnostics-20250531-1728.zip Diagnostics-PARTIAL.docx darktowerbeams-syslog-20250531-2112.zip

Thanks @JorgeB . Hopefully others will find this helpful too.

Hi all - --- This question is being asked not only because I'm having the issue, but as an updated step-by-step instruction guide for those of us that need it. So, thanks for everyone's understanding and contribution(s). --- Really need to find a post/wiki/video/Ouija Board instructions on how to replace a cache drive, defective/dying or just a simple upgrade/replace. If there is an updated post/document that I've obviously overlooked (and I have), PLEASE link it here. I personally do not want to restart this particular server until I know I can correctly replace the cache drive; It is my outward facing Cloud as well as my Internal NAS drives. While my current single SSD drive is no doubt dying and need to replace it, I am also adding a second SSD in RAID 1/Mirror. Can anyone instruct or point me to the latest proper method to do this? Please and thank you!!!

After reading more about this, I think it is the way I will go. Thanks much @MAM59 !!!

Hi everyone! I am in need a of a solid CalDAV and CardDAV docker. (NextCloud is NOT an option) What are any suggested solid Docker's that don't require a PhD to setup? Much appreciated !!!

I am very appreciative for both of your ( @itimpi @JorgeB ) replies. As requested, please see the attached list of .plg files. (apologies for MC view. My SMB seems to only work when it wants too, so I couldn't use Win File Explorer.) If it is not too much to ask, would give me an idea of what, and more importantly, how you found the issue? Thanks!

Hi @itimpi, I selected OS, GUI, (no plugins). I was able to pull diagnostics; attached. Also, able to Start Array, browse menus, and Have "Edit" show. I did not try starting the Plugins/Dockers yet. What's your train of thought? Thanks a million !!!! darktowerbeams-diagnostics-20250328-1354.zip
