Since the filesystem is read-only the mover may not work, recommend doing it manually.

Okay, I startet the backup. After that I´ll copy all data back to a new cach drive. Do I have to do anything after copying the data back or just try to start docker again?

Recommend recreating the docker image just in case it's damaged, so you don't need to copy that.

I´ll do that and come back. Just have seen, that there is a old vdisk.img from an old VM, I would assume, that it is safe to delete.

It is if you no longer need it.

All data are back on the cache, the docker.img is rebuild and the dockers startet. Right now it looks good.

Just a few files, still got a backup, weren´t readable.

I hope the problem is solved.

Edit: Just wanted to do a smart check on the new drive, but the check does not start.

Your appdata, domains, and system shares have files on the array.

They are set to: array --> cache.

How to solve that?

Two points to note:

• Mover will not move all files if the docker and VM services are enabled
• Mover will not overwrite existing files, so if the same file exists on both cache and array you will have to manually decide which copy to keep and delete the other one.

Since you have Dynamix File Manager you can take care of this yourself without getting mover involved, but ...

 

Nothing can move open files. Disable Docker and VM Manager in Settings.

 

Also, mover won't replace files so if a file exists in both places you will have to decide which to keep.

 

You can see how much of each disk/pool is used by each User Share by clicking Compute... for the share on the User Shares page.

Thank you for the fast response. Just checking which files I want to keep and which not, shall I keep the folders or also delete them?

Delete the empty folders

Done that. It looks like all files show that they are on located on the cache, the files which should be there.

Is it a wrong configuration? All files are marked with the cache as location. I added a screen of the appdata sahre setting.

Just trying to find it in the diagnostics.

Edit: I found it in the diagnostics. When I backed up the cache drive, I copied all onto a folder, location is on disc1, is that the problem?

The share settings are fine, but those settings only control where new files are written, or where mover will move files. By themselves, the settings won't move anything.

 

Did you try to move anything with mover or with Dynamix File Manager? 

 

Nothing can move open files.

If the folder name is the same as the share name then as far as Unraid is concerned that share exists on that drive.

@trurl I copied all with Dynamix File Manager, Docker was offline and ther shouldn´t be any open files.

 

@itimpi The folder I used for backup has a unique name, but all inside has the same folder name. Probably I should delete them.

That is not a problem, and would be a standard way of backing up to the array.   It is only if the top level folder corresponds to a share name that would be an issue.

That means everything in that folder is in the "unique name" share, not in the shares we are discussing.

 

You don't really need diagnostics to see this for yourself.

Yes, all data and folders I backed up are in the "unique name" share. Just in that share are all folders have the original name.

 

Edit: I´ll try something. I´ll add "_TMP" to the backup folders and will see what is going to happen.

 

Edit2: Renaming doesn´t solved it. It looks like there are no data on the array, attaced some screenshots.

I am sorry, I was stupid... Missed empty folders.

Edit: Forgot to delete domains from disk1, also done that right now.

 

Thank you for your help, I didn´t know what to do without you. There where some failures of my system, so I am not sure which answer I should mark as solution.

Your domains share is still on disk1 in these latest diagnostics. The others are OK.

Yes, it was, deleted it after I posted the diagnostic file. Had seen, that the diagnostic said, that it was still on the array.
