Guys, my cache ssd is failing and i need to clear everything back to the array. Is there a procedure or plugin to do this without loss? I remember doing this once before and creatded all kinds of problems. I'm sure its a fairly simple procedure??

The process is covered here in the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI or the DOCS link at the top of each forum page. The Unraid OS->Manual section in particular covers most features of the current Unraid release.

Thansk, that takes care of the shares but what do i need to do to move the docker-xfs.img file from the ssd?

 

Can i just move it from ssd to the array or is that too simplistic?

 

I'm trying to avoid having to recreate all docker containers as i'm sure this is where it all went wrong last time when the previous ssd failed.

If the file is located in the ‘system’ share (which is the default), then the linked process would work.   Alternatively you could use the Dynamix File Manager to do it manually.

The file is 'mnt/cache/docker-xfs.img' and is freestanding .... so, its ok to just 'move' it ?

Yes.   Do not forget the Docker Service needs to be disabled while you are doing all this.

Thanks again!

 

Yes, its disabled.

 

Much appreciated.
