nukeman Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 First, I think I did this to myself but I'll try my best to recreate the sequence of events. Last night I was preparing to copy my share data to an external (unassigned) drive for backup. I was reviewing the filesystem and noticed that I had a /system folder on one of my array disks. I thought this was odd because my system share is set for Cache as primary storage and Array as secondary. There is plenty of available space on my Cache so I concluded that the /system folder on the array drive was left over from some previous evolution and wasn't needed. I confirmed that the dates on the files in the array system folder were several months old. Furthermore, there was a system folder on my cache drive with with files that were modified today. Assuming I didn't need it, I moved the array system folder to another location on the array. The destination doesn't use the cache and is excluded from my backups. I then proceed with backing up my share data to the external drive. I let it run all night and while I was at work I got a notification that a parity check had started. That was odd so when I got home I checked the GUI and saw that unassigned drive had an icon next to it saying "reboot" (I use the unassigned devices plugin). I've never seen that before so I paused the parity check, stopped the array and rebooted. After reboot I'm missing all my docker apps and VMs. I copied the /system back where I moved if from and stopped/started the array. Still no luck. I stopped there, and thought I'd reach out for help. I do use Appdata backup and those backups seem to be current. Happy to provide any information that will further help troubleshooting nas-diagnostics-20240220-1813.zip Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Docker image is empty, so easiest thing to try first is Apps, Previous Apps. Check off everything you had before and hit install. VMs I'll let someone else better suited to assist with that. Quote Link to comment
nukeman Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 I've been looking at my director structure. There's still folders for all my dockers in /mnt/cache/appdata There's still folders for all my vm's in /mnt/cache/domains Are you saying if I reinstall the dockers it will use the previous settings and not start over from scratch? That's good news. Quote Link to comment

nukeman Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Thank you for all the help, I got it sorted out. I stopped the docker and vm services. Then I was able to restore the /system directory to its default location on /mnt/cache. That put the previous versions of system\docker\docker.img and system\ibvirt\libvirt.img back in their original locations. Once I started the docker and vm services back up, everything was back to normal. Quote Link to comment
