Fix common problems reporting error after secondary cache drive is added


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have added a secondary cache disk, and I am running the cache pool in raid 1.

 

After adding that Fix Common Problems is now reporting an error

 

The following files exist within the same folder on more than one disk.  This duplicated file means that only the version on the lowest numbered disk will be readable, and the others are only going to confuse unRaid and take up excess space:

/mnt/user/system/docker/docker.img   disk2 cache
/mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img   disk2 cache

Is that something I can just ignore? With raid 1 all the files should exist on both drives at the same time?

You are mis-interpreting the FCP message.    It is telling you that those files exist on the array disk2 and on the cache and have nothing to do with the fact you added a second cache drive.    Those are files for supporting the Docker and VM services.

 

The question is which copy is actually the correct ‘live’ one?     Normally the copy on the cache takes precedence but iyou might want to check that is the one to keep in your case.    Once you have identified the correct one to keep the other copy should be deleted.
