I have 10 days left of my trail and safe to say i will be getting myself a license. 

 

So i have been following guides to get me up and running and in these videos prior to install i noticed the appdata share in the GUI. After bootup for first time i only had 3 shares, ISOS, domains and system. Well i created a share called appdata myself and started installing plugins, dockers and setting u my array.

 

Now after using unRAID for a week i am starting to dig deeper, using fix common problems it said appdata should be set to Only or Pref, i did this. Now it says Share appdata set to cache-only, but files / folders exist on the array.

 

Now i have confused myself because after looking closely in the videos the docker directory paths are different. I now understand /user is a virtual folder.

Currently appdata path in the container is

/mnt/user/appdata/binhex-plexpass

Should i change all containers to

/mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-plexpass

 

What about the appdata share i created?

 

Thanks

Set appdata to cache-prefer, stop docker service, run mover, restart docker service.

thanks trurl

On my appdata share the location for the folders are now saying cache. When re scanning with fix common problems i am now getting the following message

 

Invalid folder appdata 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

Your appdata share may be in the correct place but that doesn't mean you don't still have an appdata folder in /mnt. You can manually delete this from the command line, or a reboot should make it go away. If it comes back you still have something misconfigured. You need to check each of your dockers to make sure they aren't mapping /mnt/appdata.

I am getting this error... and these are my shares.

If you have a /mnt/usr folder then it is nothing to do with User `shares (which all exist under /mnt/user).   You must have done something to get that folder created.   It is always worth doing a reboot to see if is still present - if so you have probably got something (e.g. a docker) misconfigured so that it is creating that location.

All I did was replace one of my drives.  But ill try a reboot. I'm in a middle of parity rebuild so i better wait.

F you cannot easily reboot at the moment it might be worth checking any docker configurations.     Leaving out the ‘e’ in ‘user’ when configuring a path to point to a User Share could cause this symptom.

I think i know the issue. I moved something from /mnt/cache to /mnt/user. I messed up and put /mnt/usr and not /mnt/user. This was yesterday and I corrected right away.

 

I will delete the directory /mnt/usr.

I double checked that unifi is not using it anymore.

Thanks for your help!!!

Even if you had done it right you shouldn't do this. Cache is a disk that is included in user shares. You must not mix disks and user shares when moving or copying or you can lose data.

Good news is it was a docker I hardly use. I just use it for logging. but thanks for heads up for future.
