Server was running great - no issues and came home today to find it had stopped and lost connectivity.

When started back up all the VM's and docker containers are gone.

Here is my diagnostics. Not sure what to do. Please advisetower-diagnostics-20260507-1905.zip

Just noticed the Appdata folder is missing on the server also - its also rebuilding the partity.

The only way I get docker and vm's to get back was making system share back to cache. it still shows 43G on there but mover didn't move anything else (docker and vm was disabled in settings). Even tried MC but it said the Array was newer then the cache so i didn't move. Waiting for more advise. It is all working now but I need to know how to get to the array so then I can go about replacing Cache (I already have another 1TB nvme but waiting to clear this and not sure what to do).

Edit - I moved everything from nvme and changed all cache to array only but still not seeing docker or vm's - trying another reboot because now everything on user share

Problem might be because "I dont see the M2 NVME Drive" omg - not sure what to do.. I have 2 NVME's but only 1 is used for the cache drive - bios does not see the other m2 -this is not good. but doesn't cache get pushed back to disk, so shouldn't it be there?

Depends on how the shares are configured, any shares set to cache=only, default for system shares, will remain on the pool.

If you have two NVMe devices, swap m.2 slots and see where the issue follows.

None are set to Cache, all Array. But when it didn't vm or docker, i changed System back to Cache and I was able to see docker and vm, but I can't figure out how to get the remaining 43G off the cache. (I did disable vm and docker before using the mover). This cache nvme might have been the root cause of my problems last week too but I don't know 100% until I can move the 43G and replace it. Like I mentioned, I did not want to overwrite user/system with cache/system because it appears to show newer dates on user/system. But this is where I need more advise.

Enable mover logging, run the mover, and post new diags.

Here you go. I stopped vm/Docker. Changed share back to array only. enabled logging, ran mover, immediately stopped.

went to start back up so changed storage on system to cache and secondary to array. enabled docker and VM. Docker is showing up, VM are showing, Here is the libvery log also. (running from cache again)

Please let me know how to proceed

Mover has nothing to move; either the data is on a share that is not configured to be moved, or on root, post the output from

ls -l /mnt/cache

According to those diagnostics, appdata, domains, system shares are all configured to not use cache so will not be moved because there is no Mover action because there is no Secondary

Like I previously said, i just want to replace the nvme and clear everything off. Once I know the Array can show the VM's and Docker I know I am set, but each time I make the System folder ARRAY only - i don't see the vm's and docker.

Now I started seeing this - Lots of these scrolling on the screen - the array completely stopped

First I noticed I couldnt get to a share, then got the usb stick is bad (this was just replaced 9 days ago) so I don't think that is the issue -

If it is the flash drive, not sure what to do because I can't replace it again automatically - I shutdown, put the flash into my pc and repaired it and copy everything to local pc do i have a full backup of the USB.

Still not sure what is going on. I ran a memory test for hours on 128g and did not get any errors. Is the motherboard failing? just not sure what is going on. I am using the same usb thumb drives in all 3 of the servers and the other 2 never had any issue with that

I also ordered 3 MLC USB Drives on Amazon, but delivery is scheduled for NEXT Saturday so I need to survive until then (if the usb drive is the issue).

That is a flash drive issue, not necessarily a bad flash drive. Try recreating it and using a different USB port, if the issues persist, you may need to replace it again.

You have to configure those shares correctly for them to be moved.
