APPDATA reset at each reboot, dockers lose settings.

Running UNRAID 6.9.1

I do not have a cache drive. I have a single parity drive. Every time I reboot the appdata gets wiped and all my dockers lose their settings. I can’t seem to find what I’ve got set wrong on this. Any advice?

Like I said, I do not have a cache drive, but under appdata share settings it says prefers cache but I can’t change the setting. That’s the only thing I can think to change but I’m not able to.

Thanks

The “Prefer’ setting is fine for the ‘Use Cache’ setting as that will use the array if you do not have a cache drive, and if you later add a cache drive move the files onto the cache.

 

what could cause your symptoms is if you have something mapped to ‘/mnt/cache/appdata’    If you do not have a cache drive that location is in RAM which would explain why you lose it on reboot.

According to your Diagnostics, your appdata share has some files on cache, but since you don't have cache, that suggests you have accidentally created a "cache" in RAM as suggested

Where are you looking that makes you say that none of your dockers are using /mnt/cache/appdata? How many dockers do you have?

I have about 8 dockers.  I’m basing that off the config directory listed under each docker setting.

Is the above helpful at all?  I’ve tried about everything that I can think of.

Did you ever have a cache drive before?

 

Edit the file /config/shares/appdata.cfg on the flash drive and change

shareUseCache="prefer"

to be

shareUseCache="no"

 

Stop and start the array or reboot

Thank you.  This seemed to have fix it so far.  I saw that setting but couldn’t change it in UNRAID and didn’t know about the config file.  I have never had a cache drive before.  Thank you. 

Update to 6.9.2 so that at least that variable can be removed from the equation
