Hello, after trying to update Unraid, I am getting this notification from the alert saying to post my screenshot here. Not sure what else to do. Diagnostics attached. Thanks tower-diagnostics-20260712-1005.zip

Hello, plex has recently (a month or two ago) stopped playing any media. I just get the spinning wheel of death. I am using a gtx1070 to transcode. I cant watch any media locally or remotely. *Edit, attached diagnostics Also, got this error when updating unraid to see if that would fix it. Aso updated diagnostics. tower-diagnostics-20260712-1005.zip

Got it. It seems like this issue happens about every 12-18 months. Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

OK, looks like I got everything. Plex appdata was corrupt unfortunately. So were some other appdata folders. I changed my cache pool to ZFS raid1. So in the future, would I just be able to swap out a drive like the array and not lose data?

OK, I changed appdata to cache and then move to array. I want the appdata to only be on the cache, so should I set it to "mover takes no action"? docker appdata folder is set to /mnt/cache/appdata/

Hello, I just wanted to double check and see if my paths/shares are setup to be optimal. I want my downloads to be downloaded to the cache and then moved to the array. Right now, its looking like the files are downloading directly to their appropriate folders, but the torrents and usenet folders are located on the array and not the cache pool. I have my files setup with the suggested trash file folder structure. data -torrents --books --movies --series -usenet --incomplete --complete ---books ---movies ---series -media --books --movies --series please advise any improvements I could make. Thanks!

Nevermind, I cleared my cookies and it worked.

Hello, I recently lost my cache drive and plex db. I deleted the appdata folder and re-downloaded plex. I am now getting this error when I try to start plex server. '--serverUuid' should follow immediately after the equal sign

OK, can you give me some guidance on how to move/ copy the data to the array? Thanks!

I also tried to use CA backup/ restore, but it is telling me that there are no docker containers to backup.

Using the built in tool in unraid shares. This is the error that I get.

OK, I am trying to move it from the cache pool to the array and it says that there is an invalid target. Im not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks

OK thanks. I have attached the diagnostics. tower-diagnostics-20251010-1434.zip

I ran the command in the terminal and got another error. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or not "root@Tower:~# btrfs balance start -f -dconvert=single,soft -mconvert=single,soft /mnt/cache ERROR: error during balancing '/mnt/cache': Structure needs cleaning There may be more info in syslog - try dmesg | tail"

I opened a terminal and ran the command. I got an error "root@Tower:~# btrfs balance start -dconvert=single,soft -mconvert=single,soft /mnt/cache ERROR: error during balancing '/mnt/cache': Invalid argument There may be more info in syslog - try dmesg | tail" tower-diagnostics-20251010-1159.zip

OK, should I do this before or after I install the new 1TB cache drive?

It is not expected. I have unplugged and replugged the cache drives. I will report the diagnostics after the system reboots.

Hello, I have had an issue with my docker containers lately. The service is failing to start. I've tried scrubbing the cache pool, balancing it and deleting the vdisk file. Still no luck. I think maybe one of my SSDs is bad. I bought a new 1TB drive to replace the 500GBs. How can I upgrade the cache pool and fix the issues? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Diagnostics attached! tower-diagnostics-20251007-1640.zip

OK, I feel kinda dumb. That drive has been down since April. I finally bought a new one to replace it. I disconnected and reconnected all my drives physically in the tower and fired it up. Somehow the drive is back. Always check physical first guys... ALWAYS! Now I can remove that USB drive and replace it!

Hello, I unfortunately had some issues with upgrading to 7.0 recently. At first when I did, I lost all of my disks connected to my HBA card. But I did the fix where you add bzroot pci=realloc=off to the end of unraid os in syslinux. That brought all the drives back but I'm missing one now, disk 4. I added my diagnostics, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! tower-diagnostics-20250414-2151.zip

*EDIT* Wow, I feel really dumb. It was a permissions issue, I created the folder in windows so it set me as the owner. Also, Why it stopped working at the beginning of the year? I let my VPN subscription lapse I am running NZBGet through delugeVPN. I feel so dumb, but maybe someone else will be helped by my mistakes! Hello, close to the beginning of this year. Something happened wit my NZBGet setup. I'm getting errors saying that NZBGet can't create files. I think it's probably a permissions or paths issue. Not sure that the problem is exactly though. I've uploaded my diagnostics. Thanks in advance! tower-diagnostics-20250411-1749.zip

Hello, I have backed up what I can from the cache drive to my windows PC. However, I don't understand why I am not able to just remove the bad drive and replace it with a new one. I have two SSDs in the cache pool that should have been mirroring each other. Are both drives corrupted? tower-diagnostics-20240803-1604.zip

OK, I will try to copy each container by itself. Thanks for the heads up!

Hmm, I see. Maybe I am going about backing up the pool in the wrong way, I also have the dynamix file manager plugin but that hangs on binhex-krusader when I try to copy the appdata from "/appdata" to "/mainshare"
