I just installed the "Fix common problems" plugin after upgrading my Unraid server to v6.12.8.

I was able to fix all of the warnings with the exception of the one below.

I'm just not sure what it's telling me to do 😕

 

Share appdata set to use pool meta-data_nvme, but files / folders exist on the cache_ssd pool

 

I have 6 x 20TB HDDs which make up my array.

I have 2 x 1 TB NVMe SSDs, which I have setup as RAID 1 for redundancy, and this just contains my "/appdata", "/domains" and "/system" directories.

I have 1 x 500 GB SSD that currently isn't being used for anything... just had it lying around and I haven't gotten around to deciding what to do with it.

 

I see that on my 500 GB SSD, there is an "/appdata" directory, it's empty but I'm not sure how it got there.

I've only been using Unraid for about 11 months now, and I'm definitely no expert 😜

 

It seems that the "/appdata" directory was created at some point on my 500 GB SSD, but by just deleting the directory, the above warning went away.

The "/appdata" directory on my NVMe SSD array is still present and contains all of my actual application data.

 

So I guess the solution was to just delete that empty "/appdata" directory.
