Failed flash drive - read only questions

[scythe944]

So, I was running version 6.11.5 I believe and had a failing flash drive. I figured no big deal, I have a backup, I'll get a new one and transfer the license to the new drive.

 

So I did, but my latest backup didn't seem to work when I transferred it to the new drive after using the USB creator to restore the zip to the new drive. It appears that the backup was corrupt due to the drive having issues.

 

Ended up creating a new flash drive with the latest build (6.12.4) and copied my config folder from my backup from UNRAID connect online. I had screenshots of my shares, so I figured, worst case scenario, I could just set everything back up as it was.

 

The new build looked like it worked well and booted fine, all my drives were configured correctly when I first logged in, except for my cache drive. For some reason it was in unassigned devices and not mounted, and all my dockers were gone.  I finally figured out that I needed to mount the cache drive and assign it to be cache.  All my dockers were back and I was relieved. I started them up and I thought everything was good.

 

Then I got errors from fix common problems about data being present on the cache and that mover was enabled.

 

It was late and I needed to get to bed.  Everything looked to be functional and Plex was up and running, so I called it a day.

 

The next day, I realized that all of the metadata for all my plex movies was gone and everything had a black poster.

 

I figured that the mover had run and moved all of my metadata to the array.  I turned off the mover by setting my appdata share to cache as shown below and turned off secondary storage and figured I'd deal with it later, have plenty of space left on my cache drive and just had plex refresh all metadata on my media.

 

This morning I went to login to plex and it said it wasn't running.  Logged in and saw pretty much all of my dockers were stopped and I had errors similar to this (this isn't my system, just found a screenshot similar to mine on the internet): 

 

I restarted my server and everything was back up and running again like nothing had happened.

 

Can someone please advise me of what I can do to get this fixed? I'm still new to Unraid and don't mess with it much. I got it up and running a while ago and I don't like to mess with it too much because I don't want to break it and I really don't have time to learn it extensively.

 

What logs would you need or screenshots to further assist?  Thank you!

Please post the diagnostics.

Sure thing, thank you!

Change the docker network to ipvlan, there are no btrfs errors so far since the last boot, there is some corruption on cache detected, run a a correcting scrub and post the output.

[scythe944]

The scrub of the cache result ended with: 

UUID: 81ca06e9-368b-43a7-a135-0fb513da41b4 Scrub started: Mon Nov 20 09:21:18 2023 Status: finished Duration: 0:00:09 Total to scrub: 27.73GiB Rate: 3.08GiB/s Error summary: no errors found

 

When I attempt to switch to ipvlan, for some reason my plex container doesn't get configured with an IP.  I switched from "host" to "bridge" and it never gets the host address for some reason, I'm not sure why:

 

I guess I'll have to switch back to macvlan for now to get my server back up for the time being.

As mentioned in the 6.12.4 release notes you should then disable bonding in the network settings.

 

[scythe944]

I didn't think I had bonding turned on, the release notes state it can be enabled or not:

 

Currently, I show it turned off:

Plex still doesn't have a port mapping for whatever reason:

 

[scythe944]

Never mind, I think this version of plex doesn't have any port mappings. I had actually tried to specify an additional port because I didn't see any, but I looked it up and apparently it's normal to not have a port listed due to being host mode. Hopefully I'm all good now.  Thanks!

[JorgeB]

If needed with 6.12.4 you can use macvlan as long as you disable bridging.

[scythe944]

Not really sure what the difference is, as long as it works, I'll leave it as it is.

I guess my bigger question is now that my system has been restored from my backup config, and I had to re-add my cache drive, is there something that I need to do to fix any remnant configurations that may have been looking for my "old" cache drive?

 

I don't know why all my plex metadata was lost overnight after I got my config folder restored. I might have to go back and revisit all the videos and tutorials that I initially referenced and make sure that I have everything setup properly.

 

Obviously, I want to use my cache drive for downloading new files and have them get moved to the array afterwards, but I don't want it moving things from my docker containers.
