Mearman Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 So today my cache drive failed. It has gone into read-only mode so I'm unable to invoke the mover to pull the data off. I'm wondering how I can get the files off the the cache drive and onto my main array so it can be replaced? I have tried unBalance to perform the move, but that gives me what seems like a generic warning when I try to move the files. Probably because the cache is in read-only mode. I've also tried rsync directly from cache to disk but get an `Input/output error (5)` Quote Link to comment
testdasi Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Maybe try something simple. From the command line: mkdir /mnt/disk1/cachecopy cp -rav /mnt/cache/* /mnt/disk1/cachecopy/ Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 What filesystem? Or better yet please post complete diagnostics. Quote Link to comment

Tried to stop the array to put it in maintenance mode and now no filesystem is being detected on the cache. Quote Link to comment

That's normal, maintenance mode doesn't mount any devices, if still needed see here for some btrfs recovery options. Quote Link to comment
