clinds34 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 Quick Summary - was getting cache unmountable, used unraid forums, fixed it and then it happened agained. Fixed it again and then it happened again. Back to the forums - great resource btw... and I started the process to move Apddata, Domains and System (all were on cache), ran unbalanced and came back after moved. Cache had nothing on it, and all the folders were created on array. So far so good. Rebuilt the cache as per forum. All ready to go.... Started to boot linux VM (HASS OS) and couldnt locate the .qcow2 file on array. Other Windows VM images all good. Perplexed so I went back to Unbalanced. Check History and getting a bunch of rmsrc red buttons and after reboot my unbalanced logs dont have much. Now this is one hundred percent my error, I don't normally rush things and check and check again. I suppose given this was giving me fits for about a week, I thought I was ok, as the casche drive was empty or at least was showing up as empty. I lost a bunch of dockers but I had Appdata backup so I can restore. I haven't started to consider how many hours of time I have lost. So before I go and start that process, I thoguht I would reach out and see if there is anything I can do. I do know that I will not be putting anything on the cache drive again. Especially since you can't restore it. I have had Unraid for years and never had a single issue. I suppose I assumed you could restore a cache drive but I also suppose I didnt quite think that through. The best lessons are sometimes learned the hard way. If I missed something here let me know. And if you are persuing this because you are having issues with cache drive. confirm unbalanced moved all your files and back up your VM's every so often if they are on cache. thanks in advance Quote
itimpi Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 Where have you configured your VM's vdisks to be located? If you have explicitly said on the cache drive this would explain your VMs not starting (at least until you put the files back there). it might be worth posting your system's diagnostics zip file in your next post in this thread to see if they allow us to give more informed feedback.
