Accidental filetype change on an m.2

[FarSide792]

I have multiple m.2 drives installed on my current Unraid setup and accidentally changed the filetype from btrfs to xfs and started the array back up - after noticing the issue I changed it back to btrfs however, all of the Docker containers and VMs that lived on this cache pool no longer show up in the inventory (they still exist and I can browse to them when the array is up). 🤦‍♂️

 

Any simple fix to restore these items to the docker/VM inventories?

If they are still there make sure the share settings are still including them, also Unraid would have created new docker and libvirt images if they resided there, but just starting with a different fs doesn't delete anything, assuming you didn't format the device.

Thanks for the reply - the shares are still including the respective pool(s).

 

Assuming new docker and livbert images were created, is there a way to just import the settings from my previously installed containers/vms?

 

Edit: Ended up adding the containers back via templates from the previous installs and creating new VMs just pointing manually to the "old" vdisks. Sorry for my ignorance here!
