Finally got round to updating to V6.8.0 Way easier & painless than last time I upgraded. Somebody said my docker image may be corrupt. I tried to use the backup plugin to backup following spaceinvaders video. Only when I run it nothing gets backed up. I want to format my cache drive & start again. Mover doesn't work, says disabled. I copied the data from the "root cache" it contains all my dockers to a folder on my array. I've also taken screen shots of the setting for each of the dockers so I can type them in again manually if the worst happens. If I format the cache drive I'm betting it won't be as easy as copying to docker folders back to their original locations? I've tried to create a log file, but it hasn't stopped, file size is getting bigger, it's over 8mb, I must've done something wrong.

 

Thanks in Advance

Sounds like your problems go deeper than just this plugin.

 

Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete diagnostics zip file to your NEXT post.

 

I may split your post and any responses into its own thread.

 

***EDIT***

 

In fact I see you already have a thread from a few months ago and it is likely your problems have just continued from there since it doesn't look like they were resolved. Maybe I will split these back into that thread.

You have an unusual configuration with your dockers. Your default appdata is in a user share named "docker". Is this really where each of your dockers have their appdata? I haven't looked at the video, but likely it is telling you how to backup your appdata when it is in the standard location.

 

In any case, I don't see any point in continuing this here in this appdata backup plugin thread. I have split it into a new thread.

 

And for reference in case there is anything still relevant there, here is his older thread:

 

https://forums.unraid.net/topic/84474-cache-drive-full

 

Yes, your log space is getting full, because it is logging mover, and mover is moving the (probably thousands of) files in your plex appdata.

 

Also, you are getting wrong csrf errors in your log. Do you have any other browsers open, including mobile?

It's not disabled, the button is disabled because it isn't finished.

I guess you might as well wait for mover to finish, then you will have to reboot to get your logspace back.

 

Then some new diagnostics.

 

If I understand correctly, your ultimate aim is to transfer everything from cache to the array so you can reformat cache. Is that correct?

Yes, although I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the cache drive other than my docker data.

That's the longest time I've seen mover running before I upgraded to latest os.

 

Only browser I've open chrome with 28 tabs open, bit of a tab freak. I'm typing on my win10 vm, which is scanning my media libraries at the moment.

Isn't that what you want to save on the array? And as I already said:

Looking again at the log though, I see the plex appdata is actually in a share named "appdata" though that is not what you have specified as your default in Docker Settings. So your appdata share actually shows up anonymized in your diagnostics, but I found it. And it is cache-prefer.

 

So, mover is moving your appdata TO your cache, which is confirmed by the syslog:

Why do you want to reformat cache anyway? What is the ultimate problem you are trying to solve?

I use to use a vm to download torrent files, but the vm would lose it's connection to the server, meaning files were no longer being seeded. Id create another vm, torrents would download & mover would move them from the cache drive to the array, all was working till one day mover stopped working & just filled up. I then started using deluge vpn, worked ok, but i had to use krusader to manually move files from cache drive to array. I don't mind using deluge vpn but I'd like mover to do its stuff automatically. If I've to format the cache drive & start again so be it.

 

Thanks

Not clear what specifically you had wrong with your configuration, but many people don't have these problems. Perhaps if we could see how you had things setup and what was happening at the time we could have figured things out.

 

Also not clear how formatting cache is going to solve anything. As long as cache is not corrupt things can be moved, copied, or deleted from it. We can rework your user shares and docker setup then work through setting up individual dockers.

 

You've been on the forum for several years. Do you have a pretty good understanding of how to setup user shares and dockers yourself, or were you just relying on others to tell you what to do?

Reviewing the thread, I wanted to go back to this:

Best if you only work with your server in a single browser tab on a single machine.

 

Has mover finished yet? If so, post a new diagnostic.

I thought I knew how to setup up shares in unraid, could never figure out how to make them read only for all but me. Dockers completely alien to me, I relied on watching videos from space invader, not the easiest to follow because of the colours used. 

Mover finished. Have posted log files. I'd love to get things sorted.

My Mistake!

tower-diagnostics-20191225-1559.zip

I would say that your main problem is you have a very large number of disks in the parity array, and these are almost completely full. Personally if I were going to have an array with that many disks, I would be running dual parity.

 

You also have way more user shares than seems necessary. That large number of user shares, combined with your nonstandard way of using them for you docker configuration, makes it more trouble to try to make sense of them though, especially since the share names are anonymized in the diagnostics. Just looking at a few of those, it doesn't seem like you have bothered to set one of the most important settings for the shares, Minimum Free. And since your disks are so full it is likely that you will try to overfill your disks because there is no Minimum for your user shares. Have you ever had any errors due to lack of space?

 

I don't want to look at all those SMART reports and that isn't your purpose for this thread anyway, but I still want to know. Are any of your disks giving SMART warnings on the Dashboard?

 

What is your plans for increasing capacity?

 

I know you are really just trying to get your dockers working again. but your whole server setup is teetering on the edge at this point and those things need to be taken care of before trying to get your dockers setup correctly and working again.

 

Do you have any VMs?

I have one vm, running plex. I do have plans to add another parity drive in the future, as well as swapping out some of the smaller drives. No Smart errors.

I found plex dockers to be not always accessible from outside my network. I've tried binhex plex & plex mediaserver, this is the one I've had most success with. If you know of better ones please let me know.

I'm currently running linuxserver.io plex and my sister halfway across the country can access my plex just fine. That said, I know there are plenty of people using those others without that problem so I can only guess it is something wrong with your setup.

Managed to get plex docker working & accessable outside home network. Also got air videohd working. tried adding another path & now its broken, can't access it all! That's the sort of thing that frustrates me about dockers. Even after removing the paths its still broken!
