I did the full stop. But I don't know how to tell which instance of the files is the more current? I just deleted the cache System and it is seemingly working. Maybe I'll post a last log tomorrow to see if it all looks good. tower-diagnostics-20260205-0048.zip

How do I see these files? I made System Export ready so in Windows I now see that share and it has two files in it. Docker and something else, but are those instances the ones on the cache or the dupes. NVM I did find it. So clicking the view on the System share it shows the files are located on the Cache and Disk 1. Clicking the Disk 1 it gives me the option to delete. But are the versions on the cache complete? Or should I delete the cache versions then re-run the mover.

That's weird. I stopped both the Dockers and even though I have no VM's I stopped all anyways. I will try the Move again tonight.

I made the adjustments. The only concern is those shares now show as orange exclamations saying "some or all of the files are unprotected". I ran a Parity check and this morning still show the same. tower-diagnostics-20260203-1928.zip

The minimum free cache field is greyed out on the drive. If there some other setting I need to activate to make that field active?

So these three? I just don't know how this all works when their sizes show as way larger than my Cache drive.

Well its all done and running. I adjusted the cache/array settings for my three major shares as well as letting them spread over all 4 drives. I am running low on space which is what prompted me to first look at this but IDK if I should just start a new thread for questions on how to go about that part of my upgrade. tower-diagnostics-20260202-1913.zip

Will do thanks!

Wow I think that worked. Updating the plugin's allowed the thinking wave to finally cease. I then stopped the array and applied the update which finally successfully applied. So no I am on 7.2.3 and on reboot with Plex off and the array started I am seeing massive reads on the cache drive and reads/writes across the array. Fingers crossed this did it, thanks for all your help! About 3 hours and I have 600GB free and climbing on the cache so it looks to be fixed. Weirdly I guess the out of date plug ins which prevented the update also prevented the cache dump. Thanks for your help!

I have rebooted a couple of times. Mainly to see if turning off the autostart on the Plex docker would allow array to correct itself. Its the only Docker/VM or Plugin I have running on this, its specifically a Plex server so there is no real fluff, and I think is why its run so well so long. I will address those max/min values for the future. I am going to be upping my drives as I am nearing the end of my comfort level with space. As for the appdata and system shares, that is something I will take a look at. Does setting all the shares to live on the cache mean I need a much larger drive there? I have about 14TB of media and a 3TB cahce drive. I also don't know if I want to switch it now while the cache drive is having issues offloading.

Added that file. Shares are Movies, TV, 4K and Documents

I have had this server up for a long time, and rarely peek in as it just runs like a tank. Its used for file storage and as a Plex server. In the last few days new media moved onto the server was stuttering during playback. When I logged in I was greated with 10's of messages about the cache being full. Sure enough of the 3TB it has 2.88 sitting on it. Also I noted in the main screen the "thinking" wave is just going forever. I don't run any VM's and the only Docker is Plex. I set Plex to not auto restart and rebooted the tower. It came back up with Plex off and I manually selected to run the mover. As of now I have not seen any movement. I only have three shares and they are specified to live on the array not the cache. Nothing is being transferred in or out with Plex off. But I have the thinking wave non stop. Any ideas what is going on? I also pulled up the logs just now and I see that when I execute the move, in the same second the log shows it completed. I can see my scheduled hourly moves try to happen. tower-diagnostics-20260131-1040.zip

This has happened again. Frankly I have no idea how I got it back up and running but the battery in my backup must be failing. On restart, Plex is unhealthy and unusable. I feel like last time I removed the app and reinstalled and that fixed it but there must be something else. So frustrating this Docker just can't see to restart itself anymore. I never had this issue previously. Seems like config is looking at an Empty Preferences XML. I have two folders that look very similar, one is PlexMediaServer and one is Plex-Media-Server. Both inside the library have the same setup, and empty Preference XML files. I feel like I changed a path or deleted something last time to get this to work. Thoughts?

I had my server go down tonight (hard down) as the power was out and I wasn't home so the battery backup ran out of juice. On restart because everything was off I updated Unraid to 6.12.1, and updated the Plex docker while I was at it. Now I cannot access Plex from anything. In the console, when I click the icon, normally the top option is WebUI and it lauches the app on my laptop, no it just says >_ console and lauches a blank window with a number sign. No devices can access the server. In the tower is says started, but at this point it say uptime is 55 mins (unhealthy). I don't know if it has to do some work first before its accessible, I do have over 7TB in the folders it accesses. But I am pretty certain in the past it just came up almost instantly and was usable right away. I know the files are there as I can see the folders through remote desktop and play the files. Any tips are welcome, thanks. **Aside**, in the past I just rebooted the server and it would work. This time it asked for a USER/Pass. When I accessed it from my laptop I had to set a password to get the GUI up, default was root and I had to set a password. I am not sure I ever had that before, don't know if its just a function of this latest update or not. dhcplog.txt docker.txt syslog.txt Docker Log Plex.txt
