#issues with cache drive (docker images/appdata)

[cheynolds]

• loop2 errors in sys log -> diagnose as cache related issue

  • moved appdata to secondary drive

    install unassigned devices app, mount SSD

    • on Unraid 6.9, created cache pool

    stop plex docker

  Use Krusader or cp to move plex app data folder (with metadata) to SSD
  > Edit plex docker and point appdata to new location
  > Make sure SSD is formated to not ntfs (xfs or something should work fine).

  • backed up appdata -> /mnt/user/backups/appdata-backup -> BACKUP BRAVO
  • formatted /mnt/cache as xfs
  • restored appdata using UnRaid CA Backup/Restore -> BACKUP ALPHA (weekly job)
    • ends during restoration at similar points for both backups, see [1] below.
  • manual unpacking tar.gz backup via SSH
    • gzip: CA_backup.tar.gz: unexpected end of file
      • tar -tf errors out
      • tar -tif errors out
      • tar -xf errors out
      • gunzip errors out
    • gzip stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
    • [1] both backups (ALPHA & BRAVO) fail, always on .bif file
    • /Plex-Media-Server/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Media/localhost/0/{hash}ca.bundle/Contents/Indexes/index-sd.bif

Looking for suggestions on how to unpack corrupted tar.gz file.
