Shares Disappeared and Dockers where all stopped

[snuffy47]

Hello All

 

Just got home from a trip and my spouse mentioned that she could not see movies in Kodi

 

When I logged into the server all the dockers where stopped and in my Shares there where none

 

Running 6.2.1 I believe and server was running

 

Restarted and Rebooted still no Exportable Shares present

 

When I explore the disks in the array I can see the share folders.  Also on the flash drive I can find the .cfg files for each share folder

Well following this post

 

https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=51607.15

 

I did a scan disk on USB drive -- No errors found

I deleted share.cfg and individual .cfg and restarted -- didnt do anything andserver didnt recreate share.cfg.  Not sure here if I had to turn shares off and turn them back on .

 

Would like to do this

 

Don't run New permissions against all the drives if you use docker applications.  You can mess up some of the apps due to that script changing the permissions.  If you need to change / reset permissions, either exclude the cache drive, or install Fix Common Problems plugin and run the Docker Safe New Permissions tool instead (identical to the standard script, but will exclude your appdata locations AND CA backups of appdata)

 

But not sure how to run the Docker Safe New Permissions -- Found this in tools and it did not have any affect on my problem

 

Also just set my cache only shares to use cache drive "no" and received this error

**** Default docker appdata location is not a cache-only share ****  **** Share appdata set to not use the cache, but files / folders exist on the cache drive ****  **** Share downloads set to not use the cache, but files / folders exist on the cache drive ****  **** Community Applications not set to auto update ****  **** This plugin (Fix Common Problems) not set to auto update ****

 

Kinda freaking out

 

Update

 

Not sure if this helps move in a direction to fix but when I select disk shares to yes they all show up as exportable shares.

 

I can access all five of my disks without a password but when I try to access my cache drive if prompts for a password an will not allow me to access.

 

The cache drive is where all my app data is and docker image

Have attached a diagnostics file

 

For some reason my syslog will not open

You need to check filesystem for you cache device (sdb1):

Docker image is also corrupt, it can be OK after your cache is fixed but usually you need to delete and recreate it.

When i run the command I get the attached pic

Cache still mounted on previous diags, so try starting the array in normal mode, if it mounts stop and re-start in maintenance mode to rerun xfs_repair, if it doesn't mount using -L is your only option, usually there's no or very little data loss.

[snuffy47]

Want to make sure I am doing this right

 

1. Stop Array

2. Check Maintenance Mode

3. Start Array

4. Run Command xfs_repair -v /dev/sdb1

 

Restart the array and try once more

 

If that doesnt work do the above steps but at step 4 run xfs_repair -L /dev/sdb1

[snuffy47]

Well I went ahead and used the xfs_repair -L /dev/sdb1

 

The Shares seem to be back but there seems to be some issues with dockers so going to delete docker.img and go from there

 

Few questions though

 

1.  What pointed you to tell me to use the xfs_repair -v /dev/sdb1 command?

2.  How do I tell how much data was lost if any using the -L

3.  How do i stop this from happening again

Syslog shows the filesystem issues, check the lost+found folder, avoid unclean shutdowns and get a UPS if you don't have one.
