April 12, 20251 yr Today I received the warning /var/log is getting full (currently 89 % used) in Fix Common Problems. I am unsure what is causing this issue. I have attached the diagnostics file for review. Thank you in advance for you help. tower-diagnostics-20250412-0807.zip
April 12, 20251 yr Community Expert You have corruption on appdatacache, and that is making a lot of entries in the log. Also, you have mover logging enabled, and that is also making a lot of entries in the log. And, I can see right away from those mover logs that you have some of your shares configured wrong and you're moving things to the array that should remain on your pool. Uninstall Mover Tuning plugin and leave it uninstalled, and Disable Docker in Settings and leave it disabled until we get everything configured and working as it should be. Set each of your user shares to not be moved at all until we get your appdatacache fixed. I also see you had docker.img set at 400G before you gave up and made it a folder instead. 400G is probably 10 times as large as needed, and it shouldn't be growing. The usual reason for filling docker.img is application(s) writing to paths that aren't mapped. Scrub appdatacache https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management/#scrub
April 12, 20251 yr Community Expert You will need to reboot to clear the logs, and also to clean things up so we can make more sense of the next Diagnostics.

I am away now and when I turned off docker I lost connection to my server. I am returning home tomorrow morning and will continue performing the tasks. I'll let you know tomorrow how I make out. Thank you for all of your time and help.
April 12, 20251 yr Community Expert I noticed you have a few Remote Shares. Do any of your containers access those?

I believe I use all of my shares except for domains and isos. I also have several SMB Shares that are strictly used to back up my data to.

April 12, 20251 yr Community Expert Did you reboot to clear the logs? If not, do so. Post new diagnostics

Scrub appdatacache https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management/#scrub I believe I figured out the issue on my appdatacache. I believe it was a bad drive, I had issues with the 2TB drive a month or so ago. I removed that drive using new config. Formatted the 1TB drive and added the appdata folder back onto it and rebooted. I ran Fix Common Problems and zero errors were found. I ran diagnostics again and have attached the results. Do you see any changes I should make? tower-diagnostics-20250413-1356.zip
April 13, 20251 yr Community Expert Your appdata and system shares have files on the array. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/shares/user-shares/#default-shares Ideally, the "default" shares would have all files on cache or other pool, with nothing on the array, so Docker/VM performance will not be impacted by slower array reads and especially writes, and so array disks can spin down since these files are always open. You also have another share (anonymized) b---s shareUseCache="only" # Share exists on appdatacache, disk1 configured to put files on appdatacache. It also has files on the array. They won't be moved since there is no Mover action specified for that share. What is the purpose of that share? I think you should consider going back to docker.img, maybe 40G instead of 400G. If it seems like that isn't enough you probably have something misconfigured.
