Thank you - appreciate the quick responses @Syco54645. If anyone else feels that I should not attempt this with the VM running please let me know - otherwise I plan to proceed with this plan.

Thank you. Edited steps to add the format disk step. My docker image & libvirt image, vm domains (vdisk location) and isos (boot iso's for VM's) are all cache primary and always on the cache disk and not on the array. As far as containers that write to the array yes I do have a few like Nextcloud (data location). I am okay with shutting docker off. Would it be okay to leave the VM running (just HA) while I do this. Also with not copying the content back to original disk - as per the docs this is a step, assume you did not do this in your original case was there any issues with shares and files etc.

Apologies for dusting up this old thread - but I am trying to change FS on multiple data disks from reiserfs to xfs. So, I believe the above steps should work for me, I just have to do them multiple times for each of the reiserfs disks. Is that accurate? Questions - Would I have to stop all dockers and VM's while doing this? Do I need to copy the contents of the disk back to the original disk after formatting it to xfs. If I don't, is there anything in config that i need to change? Steps to follow for multiple disks: Shutdown VM and docker From Disk 1 (reiserfs) move contents to empty disk 20 (xfs) Stop Array Change Disk 1 to xfs Restart array Format Disk 1 Repeat Steps 2-6 for next disk, until all are xfs Restart Docker and VM One of my VM's is Home Assistant - so this would mean that all the smart home related stuff will go down during this process, is there another way?

I am happy to - is there a beta plg file or something that I need to download? BTW - I removed the exclusions to /mnt/user/ and it ran without errors.

Can you share the script that i need to add to user scripts for this please?

Thanks for pointing that out.

Thank you for a taking a look. I am sure it is user error. The reason why I excluded that was in an effort to get rid of the Multi-mapping detected warning. It did not help, but any pointers on what I can do differently to avoid the warning and have the backup run without errors? Are these containers still backed up even though they failed verification since I am getting a Backup created without issues message right before the verification starts?

I'm getting a lot of tar verification failed errors in the log after my first run (switched from old plugin just last week). Some of the containers don't have the errors, but most of them do. Not sure what if anything I can do to resolve these? I am also confused about what the previous errors referred to in the due to previous errors statement is.

Yes tried both with no luck, stuck in boot loop for non-UEFI mode (folder name in the manual install left as EFI-) as well.

Updated my BIOS to the latest available version for my MB and tried upgrading to 6.12.3 and still has the same issue. Stuck in a boot loop, getting to bzroot loading - gets an OK pretty quickly and then reboots. Tried with a stock UNRAID trial version of 6.12.3 on a different USB (manual install method used) and had the same result. So issue still exists. So I am unable to update to versions higher than 6.11.5, which is disappointing and frustrating as more time passes and newer versions come out but this issue still remains unsolved. @limetech is there any work being done to identify what is causing the issue for all these systems and to fix it? Happy to provide diagnostics or anything else that you guys might need.

UnRaid experts - any updates on this hardware compatibility issue (based on my troubleshooting). It doesn't seem isolated to one machine and seems to impact a good number of users. Any and all help appreciated. I'm still on 11.5 and I see that 12.2 is out now.

Are there any know hardware computability issues with the Linux kernel in 6.12?

USB creator did not work for me always. It was hit or miss. Just got stuck midway most of the time but completed a few times. So I have been using the manual install method and followed the same instructions. The flash drive is Bootable (I think) since it gets to the screen with the boot options, but when it tries to load bzroot it fails, is my limited understanding. Happy to try something else.

So coming back to this, I just tried with a stock 6.12.1 version of Unraid on a different USB and it had the exact same result. It got to Loading bzroot.... and then rebooted. So does that mean something within my hardware is not compatible with the new version of Unraid? Any next steps to identify what exactly is causing the issue?
