Libvirt is set to:

IMAGE_FILE="/mnt/cache/libvirt.img"

Since there's no such pool, the image will be created in RAM, hence why you lose it after a reboot. Adjust that to a valid path, and it should resolve the issue.

The default path would be the best.

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

Your diagnostics says you don't have any pools, cache or otherwise. Should you? Did you used to?

You might need to make sure you don't have anything else with a path to /mnt/cache, such as container volume mappings.

Your dockers/VM would perform better if they were on a fast pool and not the array, and that would also allow your array disks to spin down since these files are always open.

You have to disable before you can edit those settings.

i was able to change the location of Libvirt to the default location but same problem

Looks like you have a path to an Unassigned Device mounted at /mnt/disks/torrent in your domains.cfg, which is not really a pool.

In fact, you don't even have any user shares, so the default path won't work either.

If you insist on operating without user shares (why?) you will have to choose a specific disk for that path.

Lots of other things you might setup in Unraid such as containers, may assume you are using user shares so you have to be very careful when you go off the beaten "path" to check every path and make sure it actually exists on your system.

Which you apparently missed in this case. And it seems like you didn't even realize that the default path I suggested wouldn't work, so I wonder about the whether it is a good approach for you to do things this way.
