Hello. As the subject alludes to, my appdata share has the orange triangle and says "some or all of your files may be unprotected". This is recent, as I don't remember seeing it before. If I shut down the docker apps and run the "mover" it goes green again until I restart the docker app(s), then orange again. So I'm guessing the docker apps when started are creating new files that are not yet backed up? Should the appdata share be using the cache disk? Or should it ONLY be using the disk cache?  I wouldn't think that the "appdata" should be "Moved" at all. Is this normal? I did recently have a second SSD for the disk cache that I had to quickly remove to use in a family members laptop. I had shut down the array, then the PC, removed the backup SSD, then restarted everything.  Again, I'm asking because I don't remember seeing the warnings before and it's probable that I dorked up a setting some place. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thank You,

 

Bobby

 

Update: My EMBY image just came up as a new user. So I must have something messed up.

 

Unraid V6.1.9, Docker: EMBY, PLEX, SAGETV, SICKRAGE, SABNZBD.

Your appdata share should only be on the cache disk and should not be moved into the array. All the warning will be alluding to is that you only have a single cache disk. Therefore data on your cache disk is unprotected.

 

If you had a 2nd cache disk this could form a btrfs raid 1 therefore protecting data on the cache. Additionally bare in mind any data written to shares in your array which use the cache disk until the mover moves these files into the array will also be unprotected in the case of hardware failure.

You should set the appdata share to cache only, and move all appdata files on the array to the cache disk.

Add on script for user scripts plugin that accomplishes this correctly is available

Thanks, I have set appdata to cache only. All seems well again.

 

 

Squid... is "Directory Caching" the script you refer to?

 

 

Question... Is adding a second ssd the only way to protect the appdata folder? Can/Does/Shouldn't that folder get copied "but not moved" to the array just for added redundancy?

 

Thanks!!

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=50416.0An addon for the user scripts plugin.  One of the scripts in the thread will move all files for a cache only share from the array (if any are there) back to the cache drive where they belong
