tigerdoc Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi, all. Thanks in advance for the help. I did a search and couldn't find anything really the same, so I'm left asking for help. And I've noticed this behavior for some time (at least a couple of years), but finally annoyed enough to try to fix it. Every time I shut down my server, I lose my docker containers. On restart, I just see a blank screen under dockers. I can reasonably quickly add them back using the existing templates, and the appdata remain, but I have to do this manually each time. Thankfully that isn't very often, but still not the best (like when I woke up this morning and realized I didn't get a nightly backup complete email and remembered I needed to reinstall the containers after yesterday's restart). Anonymous diagnostics attached for anyone willing to take a look. And I'm happy to answer any questions. Help is greatly appreciated. TD tardis-diagnostics-20210112-0832.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Constant ATA errors on these disks: Jan 11 18:26:25 TARDIS kernel: ata3.00: ATA-8: ST2000VN000, W523H9XY, SC60, max UDMA/133 Jan 11 18:26:25 TARDIS kernel: ata4.00: ATA-8: ST31000524AS, 5VPDN8F1, JC4B, max UDMA/133 Check/replace cables and post new diags.

trurl Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I don't think this should be related to any of your problems but I notice you have Capitalized Appdata and System shares. You must be very careful with this going forward since Linux is case-sensitive. The default config for VM Manager, which you don't currently have enabled, specifies system instead of System, for example. Even more important, many of the docker templates will default to appdata instead of Appdata. If you already had several dockers working I assume you must have noticed this. I didn't see anything like this in your diagnostics, but you might take a look at your User Shares and just make sure these shares don't exist in both upper and lower case. Quote Link to comment
tigerdoc Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Thanks, @trurl. I hadn't thought of that being an issue, but you're right, all my shares are capitalized, without any lower-case duplicates. All the docker containers point to Appdata (not appdata). Aside from VMs, would anything else point to system vs System? If not, I suppose I could just rename the shares and edit the docker containers. Or I could leave as is. @JorgeB, I hadn't noticed those errors. Thank you for catching. I compressed-air dusted all the drives and connectors. Maybe that did it, because on restart, the containers are back. Attached is the latest diag file. At least some of the SATA errors remain, though. For reference, the two disks you pointed to are parity and cache, the latter of which is where the docker file is. tardis-diagnostics-20210112-1016.zip Quote Link to comment

New SATA cables coming tomorrow for all the disks in the case. I think the PS is non-modular, so stuck there at least for now. Thank you! Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Another thing to be aware of is that SMB is not case-sensitive. So if you have ever do get user shares with the same name except for case, only one of those will appear on the network. Quote Link to comment

Replaced all 6 SATA cables in the case. New diags attached. For reference ATA3 = sdd = spare disk not in array. (I read incorrectly yesterday when I concluded that was parity. Parity is ATA5 [sdf].) ATA4 = sde = cache disk. tardis-diagnostics-20210113-1757.zip Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Looks like the problems are on unassigned sdd now. Is everything else working OK? Quote Link to comment

Well, the only symptom I noticed before was that docker containers would disappear on restart and this time they stayed and restarted (the ones with autostart turned on anyway). I'll call it a win. Thanks to @JorgeB and @trurl for the help! 1 Quote Link to comment
