Server stuck on "starting services" when starting array

[frostrunnermobile]

Including my syslog for anyone who can assist.

 

So this all started when my cache drive reached its limit and I had to as gracefully as I could shut down manually (took down the array drives, was unable to take the cache drive down)

 

Server booted back up fine up until I started the array (i was unable to clear data off the cache drive prior to starting back up the array ((mounted it via unassigned to try and clear some of the bulk data that was building duplicati backups to be backed up to an online source)))

 

So what i ended up doing was repurposing one of my 1Tb unassigned drives and added it to a cache pool to hopefully give it enough clearance to get going correctly. It seemed to add and gave the extra space to the cache pool. But i was unable to access docker and such until my array had finished starting. (was stuck on "starting services")

Well I've pretty much cornered the issue is with the cache drive, started the array without issue when i removed the cache drive array. But now i'm stuck where i can't seem to free the space (I delete a couple files and they come right back)

You should backup and reformat that device, there are some recovery options here if needed

Yeah, that's essentially where i ended up on.
