Hey Guys,

Long term user, I've handled most of these things without issue before- I thought I knew what I was doing, but obviously I've made a mess:

[Latest Edit] - Restored VMs from backup, used "Previous Apps" to get containers back and I'm not sure if it was necessary but used CA Backup/Restore to restore. Parity check running.
I'd still appreciate if anyone would look through the latest logs and outline errors that might bite me in the future. Thanks!

Scenario:
Had one single 'cache' drive 1TB SSD
Have seven new 1TB SSD
Wanted to make new BTRFS pool 'cache_pool' using Six disc, reassign all shares, run mover
Eventually my plan was to keep 'cache_pool' and remove 'cache' ultimately expanding to Eight 1TB 'cache_pool'

Issues:
Most of the share reassign and movers went fast, but appdata ground to a halt (I'm guessing Plex metadata)..........
After several hours of KB/s mover, I got anxious and stopped mover, resorted to rsync which moved everything in appdata at a much higher speed.

First problem: 'vm' share appears to be toast.....I cant find it on any disk

Second problem: Dockers are now totally gone

Somewhere during this process I also removed 'cache' and renamed 'cache_pool' to 'cache' - hoping that it might resolve some internal sync concern.

During this mess I also had a drive start throwing errors- To which I removed the drive and ran New Config- which results in a parity rebuild to complicate my matters.


Am I totally hosed here?

Next steps:
Restore Dockers from Appdata Backup/Restore ?
The docker data is present inside \cache\appdata and the docker *.img file is present under \system\
I've got at least one of my VM images saved as backup, so I can rebuild that and the others aren't much of a problem either.

There's gotta be something I'm missing.........

Thanks!

For Docker, and as long as appdata is all there, you should be able to just restore the apps:

https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/troubleshooting/common-issues/docker-troubleshooting/#reinstalling-docker-applications

Also see below if you have any custom docker networks:

Libvirt image is new, so there may be a duplicate, post the output from find /mnt -name libvirt.img

Thanks,

The find command took over an hour to return this, seems awfully slow but maybe because parity sync is running.
Are these true duplicates or is it showing links?
What's up with that user0 endpoint?

root@Tower:~# find /mnt -name libvirt.img

/mnt/user/backups/libvirtbackup/libvirt.img

/mnt/user/backup/libvirt.img

/mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img

/mnt/cache/system/libvirt/libvirt.img

/mnt/disk4/backups/libvirtbackup/libvirt.img

/mnt/disk3/backup/libvirt.img

find: ‘/mnt/user0’: Transport endpoint is not connected

root@Tower:~#

Don't see any other that would be on the system share. You have some backups; if any of those are recent, restore that one. You need to disable the VM service first.
