Is this plugin still relevant?

I'm getting al sorts off false errors and warnings:

• root has no password (it does)

• syslog is mirrored on the flash drive (it is not, mirroring is OFF and log folder is empty)

• multiple folder music and Music (there is no 'music' anywhere)

• deprecated plugins i havent used in years and are nowhere to be found

What version of unraid are you running?

7.0.1.

You'd have to show me your diagnostics after running a scan

I've removed the pugin atm, will re-install it later today or tomorrow and post the diagnostics.

Hi! I got a machine check error and the plugin links me to this post in this thread for more information:

Machine Check Events detected on your server

 

Every CPU has the ability to trigger a Machine Check Event to alert the user of an abnormal situation that it is detecting.

 

Installing the NerdPack plugin and then having it install mcelog (if running OS <6.10) should return more information about the error when it happens again.  (Note that mcelog does not return more information under all hardware combinations)

However, NerdPack (and its successor NerdTools) have both been deprecated (at least to the best of my knowledge...). As a result I don't have mcelog installed nor do I have an obvious way to install it.

My question then is twofold:

1. Any chance of getting the "more information" thread for the plugin updated so it doesn't reference the deprecated predecessor of a deprecated plugin? 😅

2. Any recommendations on how to proceed with investigating the machine check event reported by Fix Common Problems since I can't do as described above?

Thanks in advance!

The yellow ones are weird:

Are those diagnostics before or after you removed plugins.

I reinstalled the fcp plugin, ran it, and created the diagnostics and took the screenshot.

The sickbeard_alt.plg it referres to has been removed years ago...

I'm getting the following error in FCP. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Invalid folder cache contained within /mnt

Generally speaking, most times when other folders get created within /mnt it is a result of an improperly configured application. This error may or may not cause issues for you  More Information

Hi folks,

I can no longer find the Update Assistant. on two Servers. Already removed and reinstalled fix common problems.

Did I miss something? Ist that feature deprecated? Or ist it just moved somwhere I no longer find it.

P.s.: Yes I searched a lot before I asked that question and read through this thread but I did not find any hint

Went ahead and just added a setting to skip the Docker container update check myself...

Here's the repo if anyone wants to take a look or install it themselves. I've already submitted a PR so hopefully @Squid sees it and thinks it's worth pulling in the changes (I personally do! I mean just look how much cleaner the Scan page is)

On the todo list for a complete revamp of the GUI (already have a mockup of it), along with selectable tests being run

"Invalid folder cache contained within /mnt"

Diagnostics attached.

Appreciate any help!

I just found a bug in the "Permission Fix Excluded On:" setting - if you select a share with a long enough name that it's truncated with an ellipse (such as "CommunityApplicationsAppdataBackup") and click Exclude Selected, the share will not be excluded, because it will include the elipse in the setting and then not match the actual share name when running the Docker Safe New Perms tool:

Also, it doesn't pre-select the right shares in the list, so it's easy to accidentally undo an exclusion when adding a new one. I guess that's less of a bug and more of a feature request.

One other feature request is to add a link to the Docker Safe New Perms tool from this settings page, because it's somewhat confusing when you come here and see how to configure the tool, but no apparent way to run it. (Or, alternatively, just move the tool here - I think that probably makes more sense then having it off on it's own little island, since it's part of Fix Common Problems, and this is where the rest of Fix Common Problems is.)

Not quite sure how to fix this but im getting this error within the plugin but dont see the option its mentioning to fix "Default docker appdata location is not a cache-only share" any help would be appreciated

On the shares tab, appdata, click on the icon to the left of the share name to browse the share. You'll be able to see where each item is located. Something is still on the array. It could even be an empty folder.

If it's just an empty folder you can delete that. If there's data you'll need to get it moved and deduce why it's there if it comes back.

So do i need to redo my docker containers to then point to "/mnt/cache/appdata/" instead of "/mnt/user/appdata/"

Not explicit.

What's your Cache/AppData ... Configuration?

user is the default.

You are using Exclusive Share Mode?

Maybe its a Docker Container, Script, ... thats are using the wrong Paths.

But the Share Settings are the importants. Than we can see the next steps.

You don't do that!

Its better thats the System Shares are Cache only and not moved to Array or any mover Actions.

Thats prevent many issues.

You can used than exclusive Shares and the /mnt/user default Path.

Than its your issue correct.

The Cache have Files/Data and the Array Disks too. Some Files/Data/Folder are in used and than can not moved by the mover than.

And you have significant Performances issues than you have the faster Cache with Flashdisks and the slower Array HDD Disks + the Fused Layer.

You can stop all Docker/VM Services or other than have Access to the System Shares like appdata. Used the Mover for moving all of this Shares to Cache, check you have no Data on the Array. Change the Share Settings to Cache only. Check the Exclusive Share state. Double Check you have no Data on the Array from this System Shares.

Check your Paths on Docker, VM, Docker Container and Co. for the correct Paths.

You can started the Docker/VM Services again.

Check everything its working.

Maybe a Backup before this all Steps.

Information about the Exclusive Share Feature: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/6.12.0/#exclusive-shares

Have you btrfs or ZFS for the Cache Pool Bundle?
