January 20, 20251 yr I'm working through an issue with Docker again. This morning I checked in and docker was not running. I had a bit of an issue with one nvme slot being a bit too close to a PCIE slot and the NVME heatsink was touching the heatsink of a PCIE. I figure it was causing a connection issue even though it's been fine for the past month. Anyway, I'm using a different slot and I took the heatsink off. The cache drive is showing up but the directory (/mnt/cache/docker-xfs.img) has a triagle next to it and says path does not exist. Now, there is a large chunk of the nvme drive that's being used. I expect it's the previous .img file but I don't know how to find it. It's not showing in WinSCP. I think my only option at this point is to format and set it up again. I'm backing up the /user folder to try to keep my persistent data. I wanted to check here in case you have any other options.
January 21, 20251 yr Author I'm starting to lose my mind on this one. I've attached the diagnostics. My old cache was a 512gb nvme and it was working just fine. As I said in the original post, one morning docker had failed. I know that the nvme heatsync had a bit of horizontal pressue on it from a neighboring card so I figured it was a connection issue. I've now got it in the slot without any cooler. Zero pressure. I've had it boot and recognize the 512 a few times but it always drops. SMART shows no issue (fast test). I'm now trying to assign a 2tb nvme to the cache but I'm getting "unmountable: unsupported or no file system." The file system shows as XFS... tower-diagnostics-20250121-1422.zip
January 21, 20251 yr Author Managed to format the 2tb nvme cache drive to XFS so at least it's showing up now.
January 21, 20251 yr Author ughhh, lol. Just brutal. I have to set everything back up. It's like the docker-xfs.img file just disappeared but the space was still reserved.
January 21, 20251 yr Author I tried backing up the appdata and none of it seems to be taking effect. I thought the docker.img was essentially temp data and the appdata was persistent... idk, I'm having to set up a new plex server from scratch and this is the second or third time in a matter of six months. Irritating.

You can easily recreate docker.img https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/docker-management/#re-create-the-docker-image-file And then reinstall from Previous Apps https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/docker-management/#re-installing-docker-applications
