Can't rename pool back to "cache"

[-Daedalus]

Simple on here, I think:

 

I had a single SSD cache storing everything.

I installed two new NVME drives and moved my VMs and docker stuff to /mnt/nvme

At the same time, I installed two new SSDs, and moved all the other things from cache to the new SSDs in /mnt/cachealso

I now want to rename "cachealso" to "cache", but I get an error saying I can't use a share name, despite that fact that /mnt/cache does not existing on the server, or in any mapping anywhere.

 

Am I missing something?

Do you have a share named "cache" or "Cache" or something?

 

Since you moved everything to a different named pool, odds are decent that you missed a docker somewhere that has a mapping to /mnt/cache/, in which case it winds up getting created.

 

What's the output of 

ls -ail /mnt

and

ls -ail /mnt/user

Nope, no user shares named cache. I do have an unassigned drive that's mounted on /mnt/disks/cache. I've renamed that, waiting for a parity rebuild to finish before I can stop the array to try the change again. I'm not sure why a UD mount would interfere with this though; it has nothing to do with unRAID core disks.

 

Output of ls on /mnt and /mnt/user shows no cache directory.

FWIW I checked all the container mappings as well (twice, just now and when I originally moved stuff as I had to remap it from /mnt/cache to /mnt/nvme) and none are using cache. Everything is either on nvme or cachealso.

OS is probably smart enough to check for /mnt/disks/cache and realizes that it would be a potential conflict if UD settings allowed that mount point to be shared, hence the error would be correct

Just tried to name "cachealso" to "cache", after changing the unassigned device from "/mnt/disks/cache" to "/mnt/disks/temp". Same error.

This almost seems like unRAID is reserving "cache" as a thing that can't be used. Is it actually a generic pool, or are there references to it somewhere that prevent it being named?

 

 

Diags attached if helpful. Obviously it's not a critical issue, but it is weird.

Delete /config/shares/cache.cfg on the flash drive

That did it, nice one!

I didn't realise those config files stayed around. I still had a bunch in there from your squidbait ransomware plugin ages ago!
