As the title states, I've completely broken my docker setup.  It started with me trying to clean up my array and free up some space.  At some point I ran the mover and the containers stayed running but after the next reboot they were all in the state below.  

 

 

I've tried to ensure that all of my settings for appdata etc are set the way they were before I invoked the mover.  The log files are full of the following error.

 

 

When I try to reinstall any of them I get the error that this container already exists and must be deleted before reinstalling.  Appdata share has 2.62gb on the cache and 200gb on the array.  I've tried setting appdata to every combination of cache only, cache to array, array only, array to cache and nothing.  Anyone out there have any suggestions on where to start unraveling my mess?

Might be worth taking a closer look before you do that though.

 

Attach Diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.

I appreciate you taking a look.  Attached are my diagnostics as requested.

You're using docker as a "folder".  Nothing wrong with that per se, but it's within the "system" share which is currently setup to move files from the cache pool to the array.

 

Docker Folder does not like being moved around, as only part of the files will ever get moved around.  Either change it to be an image or switch the system share to a cache only share (primary storage of cache and no secondary storage)

 

Either way, you're going to have to go into Settings, Docker disable the service, switch to advanced view and then delete the image.   Then re-enable the service and head over to Apps, Previous Apps and check off what you want installed and from the bottom of the screen Install X Applications.

 

 

I appreciate you taking the time!  When rebuilding would it be wise to go with a vdisk instead then?  Would XFS or BTRFS be the better choice?

Docker Folders only advantage is if your image keeps filling up and you have no idea why or can't be bothered to sort out why then they can grow (and shrink) to be as large as the drive they are sitting on.  Images are easier to handle, you don't need to worry about if mover will ever touch them or not, but have a set size.

 

XFS vs BTRFS doesn't particularly matter

I did as you suggested and recreated as a XFS vdisk image instead.  Reinstall went off without a hitch and every container came back up working perfectly!  Thank you!
