InsideTheHorror Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I have tried upgrading from RC2 to RC3 and now RC4 with a dual cache drive pool. After rebooting and starting the array I get Unmountable: Invalid Pool config. If I restore back to RC2 everything starts and works normally. Any ideas or suggestions? diagnostics-20220322-1100.zip Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted March 22, 2022 Solution Share Posted March 22, 2022 Problem is caused by only having one array disk with btrfs, this makes parity appear to have a valid btrfs filesystem and generates an error during device scan: Mar 22 10:59:47 RizzoUnraid emhttpd: /mnt/cache_ssd ERROR: cannot scan /dev/sdl1: Input/output error Though strange that it doesn't happen with rc2, in any case best way forward to avoid this now and in the future is to either have more btrfs arrays disks on convert disk10 to xfs like the rest.

coreylane Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 What is the process to convert btrfs cache array disks to xfs? Quote Link to comment

minhquan07 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 What if I have 3 cache drives as a pool under btrfs and I'm getting the "unmountable: Invalid pool config"? Quote Link to comment

minhquan07 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 When I go to the cache -> file system type: -> options are only auto, btrfs, btrfs - encripted is there another way of changing the file system? Quote Link to comment
