"Cache pool BTRFS missing device" notification but everything looks ok

Featured Replies

Hi, i've seen this one or twice when booting my array. I get this notification event:

Event: Unraid Primary_cache disk message
Subject: Warning [NAS] - Cache pool BTRFS missing device(s)
Description: NE-1TB_2280_0025695000052 (nvme0n1)
Importance: warning

But it looks fine on the device page:

Is this safe to ignore or could it be a sign of an impending failure?

Its a weird and very rare quirk of one of the gui check scripts that can ocasionally happen when the array/pool start and it takes a tat too long while the drives are being decrypted.

Nothing to worry about.

Havent seen that in a couple versions, as it was spoken about in the past so interesting to know its still happening.


Edit:

I found it!
