January 27, 20251 yr Problem Description: Whenever I install new apps or update them, Unraid becomes completely unaccessible except through SSH. Even the typical log window that is opened to show app installation progress shows absolutely nothing until everything is done installing (which takes a really unusual amount of time, regardless of the size of the application). Trying to open a new Web UI also does not load at all until the application is fully finished installing. This has been happening for a while ( even pre 7.0 ) and I believe it coincides with when I added a second Nvme to the cache pool as parity. What could be causing this and are there any steps I can take to diagnose? Array: 6 Drives ( 3 / 2 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 8 TB ) XFS + 1 Parity ( 8TB ) Cache Pool: 2 Nvme ( 500Gb & 1TB ) BTRFS appdata: Cache Pool (Exclusive) system: Cache -> Array MB: PRIME B550M WIFI II CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X Memory: 32GB 3200Mhz GPU: Nvidia P620
January 27, 20251 yr Community Expert Probably there won't be anything logged, but post the diags after doing an update.
January 27, 20251 yr Author Thanks JorgeB, As a test, installed syncthing and confirmed same behavior seen. Here's the diag Thanks! dragoon-diagnostics-20250127-1047.zip
January 27, 20251 yr Community Expert Nothing relevant logged, but the system share exists on cache and two disks, so check where the docker image lives, if it's in an array disk, performance won't be good.
January 27, 20251 yr Author Solution I think you're onto something. The Docker vDisk location is set to: /mnt/user/system/docker/docker.img . That share is set to Cache -> Array. Should I be putting the docker.img directly on /mnt/cache or rather use the appdata share, which is cache exclusive? Is it safe to disable docker, move the docker.img manually, change the setting & re-enable docker?

The default for the ‘system’ share is Cache<-Array as you normally want all of the system share on a pool for performance reasons.
