Failed Cache Pool - Failed VM - vdisks open with null backing

Featured Replies

tl;dr qcow2 and very large data img file do not open and the backups were happening but have been incomplete.  Who can I contact to potentially recover/read data from .img?

 

I'm in a bad situation as this is a production server.

 

I hadn't realized our NextCloud VM's had moved to the cache, it's 1.1TB.

 

Over the weekend one of my cache drives from a pool took a dive. It looks like it was a faulty cable. I moved the cache drives to new cables to see if that would resolve the issue and the third disk kept throwing errors. I believe the drive had failed. Shut down the unraid, switched out the failed with a new drive.

 

One of the other drives were also throwing an error. I tried a reboot. The cache pool was saying it knew the file system was BTRFS, but unmountable.

 

I tried usiing the BTRFS restore techniques, to varying degrees of success, but the VM's that I copied weren't working or opening. The logs were showing that it needed to use mirrors to pull the data. The VM's still won't open.

 

I tried the BTRFS check repair... last resort. Still nothing.

 

I rebooted. The pool mounted, but it is not writable, which I suppose is a good thing.

The mover doesn't work.

 

I've been able rsync items from the pool, but the VM qcow2 and imgs don't work.

I've been at this for days and I am unable to go any further. Please help or direct me to someone who can.
