Hey all, I am fairly new to unraid so forgive me.  I have a 4 drive array and 4 cache drives.  I had plex and all my dockers installed on one of the cache drives.  My trial recently expired and I activated a new pro license.  Upon reboot I found I was having permissions issues in windows.  I could access my files, but plex could not seem to play any of my media, also utorrent kept getting write errors and would not write to my array.  I found the New Permissions tool and ran it on all my disks as well as all my user shares.  It looks like this was a mistake, after this was done all my dockers went missing and one of my 4 cache drives (the one the dockers were installed on) now shows unmountable.  I can no longer access my files in windows as the shares are gone.  I'm not sure what my best course of action is.  Do I need to reformat that cache drive, re-create all my shares, and reinstall all my dockers?  Are the files on my array still safe?

This part doesn't make any sense because there is no way to access drives in the cache pool separately.

 

Go to Tools - Diagnostics and post the complete zip.

Ok, I may be mistaken, my friend help me set up this server.  I thought that plex was installed on the cache drive.  I just noticed that on my shares tab all of my shares are missing.  Here is the diagnostic file tower-diagnostics-20181017-1450.zip

I think he did not have that 1st drive as part of the cache pool, I believe he was just using it as a 100G SSD to run plex.  Does this make more sense?

The 4 devices are part of the cache pool, but the filesystem is corrupt, see here to try and recover your data before re-formatting the pool:

Just to be clear, the array data and shares are safe, if there's no important data on the cache pool you can just format.

so I went to my shares and hit add new share.  re-created my plex media share.  But it still shows I have no SMB shares

User shares are a combination of folders on the array drives and the cache pool. Until you resolve the corruption issue with the cache pool, you can't see your shares.

I am trying option #1, getting errors.  sdg1 is the unmountable drive.  Not sure if I am doing this correct.  Let me know if I am doing something wrong or if I should move on to option #2

Doesn't look good, reboot and then post the output of:

 btrfs rescue super-recover -v /dev/sdg1

Sorry i've had a busy day.  Here is what I got.  I will say when i first reboot everything looks good for a few minutes and my shares show up, but they disappear after 5 minutes or so.  This output was run while my share still show present.  When the shares disappear again I'll run this again and see if the output changes.

        [All bad supers]:

All supers are valid, no need to recover

 

Ok somewhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour of uptime the shares disappeared.  I ran the command again and now i get an error on the output.

That would imply cache device dropped offline, diags would show.

Sorry i coulda swore I attached it.

Diags are after rebooting so not much help there, all cache devices are back online now, but if the btrfs recovery options in the FAQ don't work either format the pool or you can ask for help in the btrfs mailing list.
