After following spaceinvaderone's video on multiple cache drives/pools I added cache drives to my unraid setup. Then I pointed the default shares, appdata, domains, isos, and system to their respective cache. I then installed the duckdns container. It installed correctly ( I think ). But the logs show an error "curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL" and this occurs every 5 minutes.

 

Since the default shares point to cache drives now, am I supposed to manually edit containers when I install them?

Thanks.

Unraid 6.9.2

The defaults are used when you Add a new container from scratch. Any you already have, or reinstall as a Previous App, will need to be edited for changes.

Unless your defaults were using user share paths. Those won't change because any pools are already included in user shares.

Thanks for your reply. In following spaceinvaderone's video, I deleted the share folders ( appdata, domains, isos, and system ) from /mnt/disk1 after pointing them to the new cache drives. Was this a mistake? Should I have deleted them from /mnt/user as well? Since this is a new install of Unraid, should I just format all drives and start over? ( Already done this once )

 

Thanks again.

/mnt/user/sharename includes the ‘sharename’ folder regardless of the drive they exist on.   They are therefore just different views of the same content.

Thank you! I couldn't understand why /mnt/user/sharename and /mnt/my_cache_name contained the same data. Is there a symlink for this somewhere?

 

User shares are simply the combined top level folders on all array disks plus all pools.

No symlink involved - it is all handled internally within the Unraid level using a Fuse file system overlaid onto the physical drives.

Ok then. Thanks. So I removed the duckdns container and image, deleted it from previous apps. Then I installed it again and it seems to be working this time.

 

Just so I understand, now that i have cache drives and my default shares are pointed to them with the setting of "Prefer-cache". I should not have to edit docker containers appdata path on any new containers I install -- is this correct?

 

Thanks again for all the help. I did not understand the relationship between /mnt/user and /mnt/cache
