[7.0.0] Some VMs making empty folders in /mnt/user/

Featured Replies

For some reason, two VMs made folders in /mnt/user/  I have no settings for this, all settings point to /mnt/user/domains/, so I'm not sure why these folders are here.  Secondly, they are on a zfs pool, but the share manager in unraid says they are on the array and if I assign them to the zfs pool, it won't update and also I can't delete the folders.

It's a known issue if domains is on zfs, but it's not a dataset, should be fixed for an upcoming release, but you can just delete those folders.

rm -rf /mnt/user/foldername doesn't work.

Trying to delete it directly off the pool doesn't work either.

Sorry, forgot to mention, since they are datasets, they need to be removed wtih zpool destroy, e.g.

zpool destroy vmcache/xc3-th

See the example above, you are missing the pool

Sorry, it's zfs destroy, and it won't be able to destroy it if the dataset is being used, reboot and try again.

Well, thats kinda the point of the whole post.  What is causing it to be busy?  What put that folder there?  I have 8 VMs and only 2 put folders in this location?  

 

Of note, I rebooted about an hour ago and we've been working on this since then.  I can do another reboot later but I just started copying a 14tb drive, and I don't want to stop it.

AFAIK the current issue is only that an empty dataset is created, if you cannot delete something is using it.

I mean, the folders are empty so really not hurting anything.  I could just ignore for now.  

 

If I understand correctly, this is a known issue that will be fixed in the future?

 

You can just ignore, but they should be deletable:

 

root@Tower15:~# zfs list
NAME    USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
cache   600K   109G    96K  /mnt/cache

 

Created a test VM

 

root@Tower15:~# zfs list
NAME                    USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
cache                   720K   109G    96K  /mnt/cache
cache/Windows 10 test    96K   109G    96K  /mnt/cache/Windows 10 test

root@Tower15:~# zfs destroy cache/Windows\ 10\ test
root@Tower15:~# 

 

A future release should not create anymore, another option is to make domains a dataset, in that case, this will no longer happen
