Unraid 6.11.5: Cannot Start VM or Docker (SOLVED)

Featured Replies

I'm using Unraid 6.11.5.  Currently, I'm able to start Array and enable VM/Docker services in Setting page.  However, I'm NOT able to start any VM or Docker instances.  It looks like something wrong with my cache disk, but I don't know how to analyze diagnostics logs.  Could anyone help to read attached diagnostics log files, or tell me commands to check Btrfs?

 

BTW, I'm using 2 Crucial MX500 1 TB SATA SSD disks as cache pool, and my NAS is HP Microserver Gen8.  This is not the 1st time that I ran into issue.  Last time, I reboot my NAS and the issue was gone (not same issue I think), but reboot doesn't work this time.  Is there any known hardware compatibility issue with Unraid?

 

Thank you in advance.

Diags show that one of the devices dropped offline in the past, first thing to do is to run a correcting scrub, then post the results once it finishes.

  • Author

JorgeB, appreciate your help.

 

I searched "drop" in log files, but didn't get any useful information.  Could you please let me know lines indicate devices dropped offline?  I hope to analyze by myself in future.

 

If I click cache disk to see details, I can see current "btrfs scrub status" is as following.

Total to scrub: 230.91GiB

Error summary: no errors found

 

Shall I manually run scrub with "Repair corrupted blocks" checked?

 

Thanks.

This line during pool mount shows a lot of read and writes errors, these happen when a device drops offline, in this case sdf:

Jul  3 21:04:12 Tower kernel: BTRFS info (device sdg1): bdev /dev/sdf1 errs: wr 18821000, rd 1393297, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0

Also see here for more info and better pool monitoring.

I stopped and started Array for the 3rd time.  Now, I'm able to start VM and Docker, but I'm not sure whether cache disk is fine or not...

That was a correcting scrub? Don't see any correct errors, post new diags.

  • Author

Excuse me, it's not a correcting scrub.  I'm not sure whether there is a chance to damage data if "Repair corrupted blocks" is checked.  So, I did scrub only before backup.

 

I just finished data backup, and did a scrub with "Repair corrupted blocks" checked.  Below is the result.

Is my cache disk fine now?  Shall I format the disk (sdf) to avoid the issue in future?  Thanks.

Should be, don't forget to check the link above for better pool monitoring.
