Hello everyone!

 

Today, I made some upgrades to my HP MicroServer Gen 8 (RAM/CPU/NVMe), which has been running the same Unraid installation since late 2016 (what a long and stable way since 6.2, a big thank you to the whole team btw). I had planned to install a new 2TB NVMe SSD for cache/Docker appdata in place of my 256GB SATA SSD. I followed the documentation to the letter, but I'm encountering a strange issue with my /appdata.

 

I believe I have a very similar problem to this one because I'm getting the same error message: "Fix Common Problems: Warning: Share appdata set to cache-only, but files / folders exist on the array."

 

The difference from the topic above is that my /appdata directory at the root of my array is not empty, and the changes I make inside it are instantly reflected on my NVMe SSD (and vice versa).

 

I enabled the exclusive access property a few days ago (following an update from 6.11.x to 6.12.4), which is working on my other three shares on my NVMe SSD, and I can see the symlinks there : 

 

 

 

I've temporarily disabled Docker.

 

Since I'm afraid to delete this directory, I tried renaming it aggressively :

mv /mnt/user/appdata/ /mnt/user/appdata2/

But it didn't change anything except the directory was also renamed on the NVMe SSD (I renamed it back to /appdata).

 

Could someone point me in the right direction?

 

Thank you!

Don't see how this is possible, maybe you are accessing the share by /mnt/user?

 

You just need to move/delete the files from /mnt/disk1/appdata

Thank you!

 

By deleting the directory on /mnt/disk1, the issue was instantly resolved, and my /appdata immediately switched to 'exclusive access: Yes.'.

I restarted Docker and everything is working fine, many thanks!
