Hi, I'm having some issues with my unRAID (latest RC - started happening even before my upgrade)

Cache disk is showing 100% full, in the webUI i see cache drive still has 101 GB left. I've tried readjusting the cache floor setting, but nothing is working.

 

What is taking up that extra space??

Post diagnostics.

Go to Main - Cache Devices, click on cache, and post a screenshot of Pool Information. Have you tried Scrub?

I just scrubbed with/without correcting errors. No luck

 

I see no pool information. Is this what you want to see?ih0tr7M.png?1

On mine Pool Information is on that same page just below the portion you posted.

But I just have 1 cache drive? a 250GB as you should see in diagnostics? Can that be the issue.

 

I appreciate your help so far. I'm lost without a server. This is my first major issue since a year running unRAID :-(

When I try to reboot with shutdown -r

 

I get the following message in syslog all the time:

If you have a terminal session open with a current working directory in /mnt that could be the problem.

That wasn't the case. Had to force shutting it down by holding in the physical power button :-/.

 

Well my problem seems to have normalized now. df -h (cache disk) output:

root@unRAID:/mnt# df -h
/dev/sdc1       233G  122G  112G  53% /mnt/cache

 

I started deleting some VM's and eventually 100% disk usage went down to 53% which is correct.

 

I would really like to find the root cause of this issue, as this happened suddenly today after an uptime of roughly two months. I fear this will happen again in the future.

I suspect this is related to a bad user-share configuration together with the cache floor setting. But I'm just guessing. Are there any recommended settings for these?

Ok so I got the same problem today. It seems when my cache mount (1x250gb samsung evo drive) reaches 54% usage, unRAID somehow thinks it's 100% full (based on the output from df -h). Then everything goes haywire; VM's stopping, certain docker applications stops and I'm unable to reboot. Once i delete some stuff and it goes below 53% usage it's fine again.

 

I'm on latest RC5, it happened on RC3 & RC4 aswell.

 

I've tried:

  • Scrubbing (with/without error fixing)
  • SMART test
  • SMART Extended test
  • Parity Check
  • Rebooted several times

 

None of these reports any errors. Anybody has an idea of what could be wrong?

 

Anybody knows what this issue could be?
