This was a CRITICAL bug and I almost lost 10Tb of data because of it, do not haste to add newer versions unless they are checked. This should really only happen on a BETA version.

Edit: Well, we will see in 5 hours if I have lost anything or not, I am not out of the woods yet. I am reffering to the over 2 tb disk format in the old version not this one.

Agreed and the QA is lacking at best. I will be holding off to any other upgrades.  My 6.9.2 to 6.11.1 was a bit shaky and it broke some stuff.  I will let you guys jump in front of it and test and iron all the bugs for me :)

It was an unfortunate issue, but it should not cause any data loss, you'd get an unmountable disk if there was a disk replacement, but just needed to unassign the disk and the emulated disk would still mount and show all the data, then downgrade to a previous release and re-assign the replacement disk, after the rebuild starts you could even cancel and upgrade back.

I’ve stepped back from the forum in recent times but felt compelled to login and respond. 
 

(Un)Raid is not for backup, it’s for for availability. If you are sensitive to “Loss” of data you should take appropriate steps to back it up based on your risk appetite for the unexpected.

I had the same problems - I spent hours trying to fix and ordered a replacement drive. It is the potential loss of online data and TIME that caused me headaches.

That makes sense. Loss of data availability and time to fix an issue is I agree something you would prefer to not have to deal with. Hope all is back up and running for you.

Thanks - Still working on it in the background 🙂
I use Proxmox as a Hypervisor with unRaid as a VM. I was in the process of removing encryption from my drives for the possibility of moving the drives to a MergerFS and Snapraid system on the host instead of unRaid (or possibly ZFS).

Well, after updating from 6.11.2 to 6.11.3 and rebooting, my cache drive, and both of my cache pools disks became unassigned.  This caused libvert to be unfindable obviously so none of my dockers or VM's started.  Last night on 6.11.2 my Windows VM stopped booting (which I was afraid would happen because of the boot order issue I asked about in the 6.11.2 thread).

 

 

I have had to revert all the way back to 6.11.1 to get a working machine again.

 

Please let me know what I may do to help.  However, my day is pretty full.

To be honest I'm really getting discouraged around trusting my data to Unraid. I updated to 6.11.1 because the SMB performance in 6.10.x was absolutely horrible compared to earlier versions. Then 6.11.2 has a severe bug that seems inexcusable and may cause data loss. And, after 4 years of many reporting the issue and even YouTube videos made on the subject, the USB installer still hangs for a great many of us at "syncing file system." And the list goes on with lots of issues that should have never been released or been fixed long ago. Unraid isn't open source and we're at the mercy of the devs. We pay for one or more licenses yet the overall experience is we're all on our own for support as if it's open source. I haven't seen anyone from Unraid participating in 99% of the threads here. Given the many recent issues I have to wonder if Unraid shouldn't just be moved to open source? We're not getting the sort of support, or quality, one can usually expect from paid software.

Diags from v6.11.3 should show the problem, when you downgraded back to v6.11.1 the pool devices were assigned again?

Yes, my pool devices were assigned again (thank the maker).  I did of course have a backup from 6.11.1.  I recreated the flash drive from scratch using a fresh download of 6.11.1 and copied over my config directory.

Funny thing too is that my SSD cache pools use the SATA ports on the MB and the cache drive uses a port on my LSI controller.  Why lose ALL cache drives?!?

I don't know.  I've been using unRAID for over ten years and have had very few problems with complicated setups running VM's and dockers.  I use unRAID on many of my client's systems who pay me to build them servers for their home theaters.  I have found support to be quite good and developers have stepped in when necessary.  My experience has been great with only a hiccup here and there, but what I am doing is complex and I would expect this.

I was also generally happy with Unraid back in the 6.8.x days. But things have really changed. Can you really argue 6.11.2 should have ever been released? Is anyone at Unraid even humble about the serious mistake? Where's the participation from Unraid, versus users, in this forum over even critical issues? We're basically all on our own.
