[SOLVED] Something writing to domain.cfg constantly - 6.10.2

[MadeOfCard]

I was able to narrow it to the domain.cfg via a few `ls -ltR ./boot` commands.

 

• I turned the VM service off
• Stopped the array
• Nuked the domain.cfg
• Started array

 

Still constantly writing.

 

Also my VM Settings page is crazy slow to load versus all the others for some reason.

 

I do not think this was an issue until I moved to 6.10.2 but I could be wrong.

 

I was running a Home Assistant VM prior to me switching it off and it worked fine.

 

As I am not well versed in the VM stuff I'm looking for some help please. 🙏

Clarification on settings page

I also restarted (normal boot) and the domain.cfg is still being written to before the array is started

 

A new flash backup is triggered every 60 seconds so I apologize for hammering your API

Here's an updated diagnostics after some rebooting.

upon shutdown there was something like

unclean shutdown detected/unable to stop unraid_driver

...but I only saw it for a split second

So 80,000+ writes per day later, I figured out it was the My Servers plugin in a backup loop. I uninstalled it and it opened up 10+GB of space on my USB..

 

A moderator may want to move this to the plugin support topic.

I don't see any evidence of the flash backup being run continuously in your syslog?

 

If flash backup is having issues, detailed logs will be in /var/log/gitflash
