FreeMan Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) When Fix Common Problems ran last night, it flagged this error: Quote Share appdata set to use pool apps, but files / folders exist on the cache pool No changes have been made to my server, though I have been migrating data off of a drive that seems to be slowly dying. There are absolutely appdata files on my cache drive, and by all appearances, they've been there since last October Also, you can see that some directories are duplicated across the two different locations. 1. If these directories on cache were created in October, why are they just now getting flagged as an error? Is this a new check? 2. Is there any option beyond going through each directory and file, comparing to see which version is the newest and manually merging them back into /mnt/apps from /mnt/cache? nas-diagnostics-20220130-1300.zip Edited February 16, 2022 by FreeMan Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Possibly it is a new check - not sure The majority of the folders are NOT duplicated - for those you could simply move the folder across to the correct location (with the Docker sub-system stopped) and check the mapping is correct for those containers (either to /mnt/apps/appdata or to /mnt/user/appdata which are effectively the same).

FreeMan Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Unfortunately, I looked at some of the duplicated directories and there are some files, at least, that do exist on both pools. Thanks for the tip about stopping the docker service first, I would have probably forgotten to do that and caused myself all kinds of grief. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 T Not sure which pool takes precedence if the file is in both locations. It may be in pool alphabetical order - but that is just a guess. You might be able to work it out with some experimentation. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 It is a new check (although one which should have been introduced at the start of 6.9) Quote Link to comment
FreeMan Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 21 minutes ago, Squid said: It is a new check (although one which should have been introduced at the start of 6.9) Well, that does explain why it's never triggered before... Quote Link to comment
