Is my Start9 server borked?

I have tried restarting and rebuilding (to no effect). Should I try repairing?

Looks like a Btrfs label conflict / metadata error:
Device _main already exists. This is an issue with the drive or data corruption.

Run Repair Drive from the Diagnostic UI first.

:heavy_check_mark: If it succeeds → reboot and you’re good.

✘ If it fails → flash the latest image and Recover (or restore from backup). Hopefully you backed everything up.

Rebuild won’t fix this because the disk isn’t mounting and it just rebuilds the containers

Thanks @Rick. I’ll try what you suggested. I don’t have everything backed up but I’m not too worried about losing anything.

@Rick It just returns to the same screen after repair.

Please tell me about your hardware setup, so I can provide further guidance.
