Hi Everyone

 

I'm getting this error after replacing my cache drives and restoring appdata on them

Invalid folder cache contained within /mnt

when i go to the system log I see this error every second emhttpd: *** bug: 5286 /mnt/user/Cloud cache (cloud is probably my nextcloud instance)

 

any idea how to fix this?

At the same time did you rename the pools or remove the cache pool?

 

You have no "cache" pool, but appdata backup was set up to backup from the cache pool to the array.  When you restored it, it dutifully put the backup exactly where it was told to, except that the cache pool doesn't exist, so it winds up in RAM

 

Additionally, since this is what presumably happened, you also have docker containers that were referencing /mnt/cache/appdata/..., so the system is going to automatically create /mnt/cache every time the container starts.

I removed the pool and made a new one

actually 2 new pools

so is there any way to make sure everything is using the new pool?

I do see the appdata folder on the new pool

I think I've fixed it

I removed the cache folder in terminal, since my cache pools now have another name

and the error is gone

 

tnx for the help @Squid, got me in the right direction

Did you figure out why that folder was created in the first place?   If not it is likely to come back if you reboot.

@itimpithat folder was created when i used my old cache pool

when I restored my appdata it wanted to write there but my new cache pool have a different name

 

unraid changed the cache drive automaticly when i went in to the share options, but in the shares tab it still wanted to go to the old drive

So I had to manually chanche the cache drives from my shares, let them copy ofcourse to the new pool, and I did a restart

then the error in my system log was gone, so then i removed the folder and contents in terminal

did a restart, and everythink is working fine now

If you have done a reboot and the folder does not reappear then it sounds as if you DID correct the root cause.   It was not clear to me that you had done the final reboot to confirm this was the case.

 

Hi - I received this error after upgrading to 6.10.0 RC3. Unable to locate problem. Have been running Unraid for years but first time seeing this after upgrade. Made no major changes since then. Diagnostics attached.
