Understood. So forgive the noobish question, what's the best way to do that? And more importantly, what's the best way to restore it? If I do an rsync /mnt/cache is that going to grab everything? And then format the good drive, remove the bad one, then rsync back? Will it then see it as one profile? Like is it just metadata and how do I prevent that from being restored back? Oh, when you say format, did you mean the cache drive or the unRAID OS drive, just to clarify?

When you say copy everything from the pool, do you mean both? Because my concern is that neither contains all the data.

So I'm sure I screwed up something somewhere. Looking for some assistance. I had 2x 512GB SSD's in a cache pool (default BTRFS RAID1). One of the drives died. This happened a few months back. I was able to remove the bad drive, no errors. Everything seemed okay (though under the hood, they may not have been). Recently I bought a 1TB Samsung SSD. Put that in, added it to the cache pool. Everything seemed to be okay still. The second 512GB drive started giving me errors again. So In my screwing around trying to remove it and just use the 1TB, I started getting BTRFS pool profile errors. I ran a balance and the error went away. However, my 1TB drive is showing as 70% used. Looking at btrfs fi, I'm not sure if it's correct. I am not versed well enough in btrfs to know for sure, but looks like some of my data is possibly duplicated, but also not entirely. Like maybe a balance didn't complete and I screwed something up? The original 512 is still in the machine but now is an unassigned device. I was going to try to re-add it back to the pool but I got the warning that all data would be wiped, so I decided against it. Could someone just take a peek and see if this looks right? Data, RAID1: total=75.00GiB, used=55.18GiB Data, single: total=194.00GiB, used=147.93GiB System, RAID1: total=32.00MiB, used=64.00KiB System, single: total=32.00MiB, used=0.00B Metadata, RAID1: total=1.00GiB, used=455.95MiB Metadata, single: total=12.00GiB, used=9.98GiB GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=0.00B My concern is the RAID1 entries. I should be Single now, I think. But that's where I probably screwed up. Attaching Diagnostics in case it helps. blackpearl-diagnostics-20210811-2218.zip

I figured as much. No worries, that's exactly what I did. It doesn't overwrite my changes, so that works just fine. Thank you.

This may be a stupid question, but is there any reason why the nginx container keeps creating a default file under /config/nginx/site-confs every time it's restarted? I'm trying to set up 3 websites with 3 different conf files in the site-confs folder. My main nginx.conf file has an include statement referencing the path. I was copying my settings over from default to the "custom" conf file, then deleted the default file. Restarted the container and the default file is back.

That's what I wound up doing, but the support page said that latest will give me v3 (or in my case, keep v3) and it didn't. It reverted me to v2. That's why I ask what I *should* have done. If "latest" or no tag should now be on v3, it didn't work, so I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong.

What is the proper way to update? Because I had the same issue with getting the notification that the tag I was using was no longer valid. Went to the container, removed the tag, it installed v2 and blew away all my settings (or so I thought.) I couldn't even sign in using the Forms authentication. So I changed authentication to None, got in, and all 4000 or so TV shows were gone. Restored from backup from 4 days ago, same result. Long story short, added the preview tag to the repo and everything was right as rain again. So what happened? Why did it install v2?

Latest update: Swapped out the drive for the new one I bought and issue went away. So I'm guessing it really is a bad drive. Going to try to RMA it with WD. Hopefully they'll take it, even though it's shucked from an external.

Update: Moving it to a different slot didn't make a difference. Still getting CRC errors on that one drive. It IS letting me rebuild the array, but I've ordered a replacement.

Oh good. So I can swap them around to any slot I want. Thank you.

True. I doubt it would make a difference because the way the controllers are designed, if the port was bad, multiple ports would be bad. Unless it's a bent pin or something stupid like that. It's a hotswap bay, so unlikely, but something I could easily confirm. Will unRAID get screwed up by that as far as the drives in the array? I don't know how it assigns them under the hood.

If it was a backplane issue, all the drives would have an issue. It's a server chassis with a SATA/SAS backplane. 5 disks total in an 8 bay chassis. All of them set to spindown at idle. So I can't see it being a power issue given that a) the disks consume 6.4W under max load x 5 is 32W, and b) none of the other drives are having an issue. Being that it's a backplane all fed off the same lines, I can't see it being a cabling issue for the same reason - none of the other drives are giving me a single error.

Okay, immediate CRC errors as soon as I restarted the array. It won't even let me rebuild to it. My guess is the drive itself IS actually the problem. So bizarre. I also noticed while the server was POSTing that it spammed errors on sdf, which is that drive. So maybe the drive really is faulty?

I never not have the webgui up, honestly. I hadn't even thought about it. It's one of my pinned browser tabs and I never close my browser unless I need to. Haha. Okay, powered down the server, checked all the cable connections, reseated all the drives in their hotswap bays, and powered everything back up. It still showed disabled, so I'm going to stop the array, unassign the drive, start the array, stop the arrray, re-assign the drive, and try to rebuild. Cross your fingers! *EDIT* @trurl your second reply came in after I hit send. I don't have another on hand so I'm going to attempt to rebuild to the same drive. I do have a 14TB and a 12TB in my cart right now (the 14TB is $189 at BB right now for Black Friday). I may still purchase both and keep an eye on this one over the next few days. Then I may try to RMA it. Ugh, this is stressful.

I don't have email notification, but I do have immediate dashboard notification (on the webgui) set. No issues on any other drives and no issues before today. I clicked the thumb icon to acknowledge last night and everything seemed peachy again and woke up to it being disabled this morning, so of course I panicked.

Interesting. So what that says is it's (generally) a power or cabling issue and not the drive itself. Did you happen to check my SMART logs? From what I could tell, the drive looked okay aside from those UDMA CRC errors, so it's quite possible the problem does NOT lie with the drive. That would be good news. Though the drives are attached to a backplane in a Supermicro 2RU chassis with one of those slim platinum PSU's, so fixing that problem may actually be more of a pain. Haha.

Hello all, I have a 12TB drive in my array shucked from a WD Easystore that started giving me errors in the webui yesterday. I ran short SMART test and it passed. Then this morning, I had a red x. I know that means the drive is disabled and usually that's a catastrophic failure (well, as far as unRAID is concerned, I think.) Anyway, I ran an extended SMART test and it's showing me UDMA CRC errors. The drive isn't that old. And who knows where the heck I put the enclosure. What are my next steps? Also, has anyone had any luck RMAing these drives? I've heard mixed results. They are OEM so technically the warranty is only in the enclosure, but I've also heard WD takes them back anyway. In either case, what should I do? Order a replacement drive and get ready to swap it out? I'm a little panicked. On the bright side, there are some good Black Friday deals going on, so the timing is probably the best I can get. *EDIT* I forgot to attach the Diagnostics file. Sorry about that. blackpearl-diagnostics-20201123-1017.zip

Just noticed the same issue today. Haven't tried a rollback yet. Debating on whether I should try that or wait and just do a new pull. *EDIT* Forced a pull and the UI is back.

So just an update - everything appears to be working! Thanks, all! I have an uptime of about 30 minutes now and not one single SMBus error. I didn't reinstall IPMI or the Dynamix systemp plugins, so I have no idea what my temps are, but small price to pay. Maybe that will get figured out at a later time, but all my containers came in, my shares, everything (after copying a couple of files over). I'm super happy for all the help.

Gotcha, so if I copy the templates over, I don't have to manually set the paths, I can just choose them from the previous apps and my "custom" versions will populate in the GUI, correct?

Gotcha. Okay, I'll have to prepare that, then. I had some customizations for many of my containers. Just tried booting in safe mode, loaded up the webui and hit the button to show logs - same thing.

Attaching latest diagnostics, in case it helps blackpearl-diagnostics-20201009-1411.zip

If safe mode doesn't work and I start with only super.dat and my registration key, what will be missing? Will I have to recreate my docker containers etc? Or will all that just come over from the array (and cache drive in my case of the appdata folder, VMs, etc.)

This is still an issue. Would it be worth it to maybe try to start fresh and restore my data somehow? Like wipe the USB stick, reinstall unRAID, and only copy over the essential files in case something is corrupt?

Hello all, The past day or so, the webgui on my server has been intermittently unresponsive. My Plex container also seemed to stop working. When I checked the log files, I keep seeing SMBus is busy, can't use it! over and over again. I know I had this issue when using the Dynamix temp plugin, but I've since removed that. This is driving me crazy. Anyone have any ideas? Attaching a diagnostics zip. Not sure which log files are appropriate, so if I'm missing any information, please let me know. Thanks! blackpearl-diagnostics-20201006-1009.zip

Just came here to see if this was a known issue with the latest update. Looks like I'm not the only one having an issue. Same error with the ICU package and can't connect to webUI. The docker appears to be loaded, but all my other plugins can't reach it either.
