February 23, 20242 yr I've been trying to figure out how to rename my appdata folder back to 'cache" but keep getting the error. I accidently changed the name when I transsferred to a new drive. Thinking I could re-name it again. I've formated my drive and still cannot change the name. If someone could help that would be great. Thank you
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert Not clear your title says you want to rename a pool but you are talking about renaming a folder. And you mention an error without specifying what it is. Attach Diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.
February 23, 20242 yr Author I’m very sorry. error I’m getting is invalid pool name do not use user share names

February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert You currently have pools named downloads new new_cache plexdata What do you want to do?
February 23, 20242 yr Author So I moved my cache drive which had my appdata to a new drive. i thought I could name it the same it like before "cache" but it's not allowing me and get the error "invalid pool name do not use user share names" I made a new pool named "new_cache" transfered everything to that drive. But now I cannot rename my new drive "new_cache" back to cache. Hope that makes sense. Thank you for helping
February 23, 20242 yr Author I was pretty much upgrading my "cache drive. I transferred the files using r-sync. Everything transferred but then I could not rename the pool back to "cache"
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert Look in your diagnostics at shares/shareDisks.txt You will see a large number of entries for shares that do not exist. What that actually means is there are share configuration (.cfg) files that don't have any corresponding top level folders (user shares). That list is anonymized, but it looks like one of those might be named 'cache', so that might explain why it thinks you are trying to name a pool the same as one of your user shares. What do you get from command line with this? ls -lah /boot/config/shares
February 23, 20242 yr Author I just looked and there's a lot of entries.

February 23, 20242 yr Author Thank you. I’m able to finally rename it back to “cache” drive. but now I’m having another issue. After I was able to rename app data “cache” drive back I tried restoring my apps through the previous installed apps. All apps are there, but all saved history or settings are not there. So when I click on app like sabnzb it’s asking to enter my info. So settings are missing. hope it making sense. Thank you for your help
February 23, 20242 yr Author So when I click on an app and click on edit, I can see the settings that I entered when Installed the apps. But when I load the app, no history is there. So it's like if the app was new.
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert Were using a user or disk share? If disk share did you change the docker mappings for the new pool name?
February 23, 20242 yr Author i was using a disk share “cache” I left everything the same so did not change any mappings. So when I upgraded my appdata drive I could not rename it back to “cache” that was my original issue. I created a new one called “new_cache” but never changed any of the mappings to the new drive. After you guys helped me in renaming it back to “cache” I just recreated the the docker and downloaded all the apps. They were all under previous installed. I checked the mapping for the docker container and also the apps and everything was still pointing to “cache” drive. but now I’m not able to get any of my saved history from the my apps.
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert And how is the appdata share configured? If all the mappings are correct the data should be all there.
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert 9 minutes ago, Importimage1 said: saved history What do you mean by "history"? Previous Apps uses the templates stored on your flash drive in config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user. Those templates have the settings entered when you create or edit the container. These templates are just the mappings, etc. and don't have any settings made within a particulate application. Do you still have those templates (.xml files) on flash? An installed docker application usually has an appdata folder, which contains the working storage of that application. That is where any settings set within the application are kept.

I have saved appdata using the backup/restore appdata. I can see the .xml files. I tried to restore them but had no luck . How I'm restoring it is I first downloaded all the apps through the apps previously insatlled. When that did not work, I went and used the Backup/restore Appdata. Should I only be installing one of those types of backups or could I do both. restore appdata app and previously installed on apps? I'm not sure if maybe something is wrong with my flash drive?
February 23, 20242 yr Author and here is an updated diagnostics importimage-diagnostics-20240223-0945.zip
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert 2 hours ago, Importimage1 said: could I do both You need both, the templates are required for Previous Apps to reinstall your containers, and appdata is required so each container application will have its working data.
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert 17 hours ago, Importimage1 said: there's a lot of entries Most of those don't have any shares associated with them anymore. You can clean that up by using the Clean Up button at the bottom of the User Shares page.

I do see one FSCK file on your flash drive, which would come from repairing corruption, but I think that would just be a single corrupt file, and it may have been a long time ago. Do you have a flash backup?
