Unraid VM dissapeared afteter trying to update settings.

Featured Replies

Hello,

After update to 7.2.2 I was trying to change some VM settings. I disabled auto start and tried to update RAM capacity of my VM. The update process hung and then my VM disappeared from VM manager UI. Any way to restore its settings? Or should I just recreate it and point it to the correct disk?

This is the libvirt log:

If you have a libvirt backup, you can restore that; if you don't, creating a new VM and pointing to the disk should work.

It may also be posting the diagnostics in case there's something visible there.

I recreated the VM. Posting the diagnostics in case you can see something as to why it happened. Server was not restarted since. Happened around 2025-12-13 13:23:28

I also noticed that one of my docker containers was not starting due to errors in /etc/localtime. The reason was that unraid timezone information was lost during the update 7.1.4->7.2.2. Once I set the correct timezone it started up. Not sure if it is related to VM issue.

Not seeing any obvious issues logged, so hopefully it's resolved.
