I think I have messed up, I had my VM's on 2 1TB SSD's one disappeared from the config and I wasn't able to see it to add it back so I bought 2 new SSD's of a better brand and added them.  The BTRFS transfer completed sometime this morning.  I wanted to remove the older cheaper drive from the pool.  I did so by stopping the array and changing the drive in question to none.  To complete the removal I thought I had to create a new config with preserve assignments.  On doing so My VM's and Docker have gone.  The files are all still there how do I get them back. ??  I'm not sure what to provide in terms of logs etc..

Please post the diagnostics.

Diag as requested.  Thanks in advance.

I feel like my issue is similar to https://forums.unraid.net/topic/131690-lost-my-vms-after-cache-upgrade/

 

I have attached my find if it helps. I feel like copying domains from /mnt/vm to /mnt/user but not sure.  Both VM manager & Docker are disabled.

Check the date for both files, you likely want the older one, you can also change the path in VM settings to the disk share to test both.

Yeah, so the older is /vm/system

Ok so changing to /vm/system etc has brought the VM's back.

also doing the same for docker has also brought those back. 

 

Thanks @JorgeB

Kind of strange since it should use the pool one by default, unless the pool didn't mount correctly at first array start.

Im not sure, I'm just glad i was able to get it back.  Will look into backing up the libvirt.

 

I really appriciate your help on this.
