Hi,

 

This morning I attempted to log into my Unraid GUI and got this in my logs:

 

==> phplog <==
[07-May-2025 05:39:50 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Failed opening required '/usr/local/emhttp/webGui/include/local_prepend.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/emhttp') in Unknown on line 0

 

I went and looked into /usr/local/emhttp/webGui and the only folders I had in there were event and images. No include. I tried restarting the UI but it made no difference. I tried running diagnostics, then got "-bash: diagnostics: command not found". That's when I went for a reboot.

 

Unraid comes back online, everything's working, the diagnostics command is back and I can get into the web UI. I navigate to the Shares page and... oh no. See the attached cache.txt file. Obviously there are my intentional shares there, but also a whole mess of Unraid system files including all of /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix and some others besides. I thought "okay that's a weird problem that happened before I rebooted" so I go to shift the files off. Immediately, the Web UI becomes unavailable again with the same error message I started with.

 

So it looks like not only were these system files dumped on my cache disk, but also these are the system files currently in use. I'm leaving them there for now because obviously it gets mad if I touch them and all my backups happen at share level so theoretically they shouldn't cause a problem apart from the Shares page being a mess. I've got a recent backup of my flash drive from a couple of days ago so I could restore from that. Maybe then the same thing happens again though, I don't know.

 

EDIT: I think the mover ran while I was cleaning the files and broke it again. I cleaned up my cache disk and I've disabled the mover and it's running fine right now.

 

What do we think happened and what should I do about it?

 

Thanks.

The mover just ran and broke my system again.

root@magicbox:/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix# diagnostics
-bash: /usr/local/sbin/diagnostics: No such file or directory

 

Two thoughts on this:

1. Of course the mover broke my system. My system files are sitting on my cache disk.
2. I run the mover tuning plugin and updated it yesterday. It's entirely possible it's all the mover's fault.

There was a recent issue with the mover tuning plugin that caused this.

It's absolutely the mover mover tuning. I've got it in dry-run mode right now and I'm seeing stuff like this:

Mover tuning correction

11:00:02.972 ************************************************************ ANALYSING MOVING ACTIONS ***********************************************************
11:00:02.979 Deciding the action (move/sync/keep) for each file. There are 1066 files, it can take a while...
11:00:09.329 A total of 1610 files representing 49MiB will be moved/synced:

I think the "rebalance shares" option is broken. I disabled that in the Mover Tuning settings and it no longer tries to move my plugins directory.

I think you mean the Mover Tuning plugin - not the standard built-in mover application?

Yes, thank you. I have edited to make that clear.
