Okay, i moved the usb drive from a USB3 to USB2 port. ill order a new flash drive too THanks

I havnt looked at my unraid server in a few weeks. i wanted to install octoprint and was getting ready to install the docker and noticed a banner saying : unraid your flash drive is corrupted or offline i also plugged my 3d printer via usb in an available usb port next to my unraid flash drive. thats when i noticed the message. then noticed i have no dockers showing up in the interface, although i can get to the webui of them. not sure whats going on. i did unplug the printer but the messages are still there: rujirama-diagnostics-20230825-1532.zip

Hi Lacehim, Even though this was not that long ago i have a hard time remembering what i did exactly to get it working. I think what i basically did was format the drive and give it a name, i dont recall the command to do that. For whatever reason, i could not get the partition to show up as ****-part1. But the nickname would work. So my prior post would show how to get it all working but its missing the format command that also gives it a name. I took a look at my dev/disk/by-id and still dont see the partition for my drive, but its there under dev/disk/by-label. Try giving your partition a label and then have unraid mount it. Good luck.

Its no different than running it on any other server. Most people want plugins to run on their unraid server because its usually on all the time, so there is no need to keep an additional machine running.

Okay, finally got the webserver up and running. I read this in the newznab thread: updated all the Simple Features plugins zip from http://code.google.com/p/unraid-simplefeatures/downloads/list replaced all the files in boot/config/plugins and removed all the simple features files from boot/extra and removed a simple features file from boot/packages rebooted and now i have a working webserver. on to newznab

removed that file and rebooted and still the same. Perhaps i should mention that i had a different version of the SF webserver that was installed, enabled and working fine when i first installed influencer's newznab plugin. The plugin said i did not have the web server installed, so i figured it would upgrade my older version, it did not, just put a new web server icon in settings.

I moved all the files into a different directory and still no luck.

okay, so I too had an older version of the SF Webserver installed too. Ive copied over the latest version and installed it successfully. When i check my /boot/extra file i see 7 simple features tgz files, none that identify as the webserver one. did you delete all of them? or which one inparticular?

I am not able to Enable the web server. As soon as press Apply or Done, it reverts back to Disable.

After struggling more with this, i realized that it really wasnt working. The problem was that for what ever reason my drive partition was not showing up here /dev/disk/by-id/xxxxxxxxx-part1 name. I could see the drive: /dev/disk/by-id/xxxxxxxxx-part name but not the partition. So what i ended up doing is using fdisk to delete and recreate the partition. (dont think that was necessary) Formatted it in the ext3 format with the label app_drive added this to my go file: #Mount app_drive mkdir /mnt/app_drive mount -L app_drive /mnt/app_drive mount -o remount,rw /mnt/app_drive 2>&1 (the mount commands were copied from what unmenu does when mounting drives, not sure if the second mount command is necessary or if it can be consolidated into the first) added this to my smb-extra.conf: [app_drive] path = /mnt/app_drive comment = App Drive browseable = yes # Public public = yes writeable = yes Joe, it seems in the version of unraid i have the smb-extra.conf is persistent so appending the code everytime was duplicating on every boot. after a few reboots to verify it was working, i installed sab and sickbeard and setup an install and data directory on the app_drive, finally working. Thanks for all the help.

okay, its actually working now. a reboot and i can get past the initial log in screen with a fake user and blank password. So far so good. thanks for the help!

Okay, so i formatted the drive with unmenu to reiserfs found the device-part1 that it created and modified the go file. I verified that the device exists and is mounted after a reboot, but cannot see it from windows. As a side note im connecting from win 7 machine with a different user than "root". If i try to browse Tower i get password prompt which no matter what i enter never goes away. Here is the new part of my go file: #eruji mount drive and share via smb mkdir /mnt/app_drive mount -t reiserfs /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD800BB-00FJA0_WD-WCAJ93444609-part1 /mnt/app_drive echo '[app_drive]' >>/boot/config/smb-extra.conf echo ' path = /mnt/app_drive' >>/boot/config/smb-extra.conf echo ' read only = No' >>/boot/config/smb-extra.conf smbcontrol smbd reload-config This wipes the smb-extra.conf file so the Global part is replaced, is that correct? as a test i also added the global above, but still could not see the shares. I would like to be able to browse and write to the app_drive share. For some reason i cannot even see my flash and array drives at this point. Im pretty sure its because of the smb file.

Warning: Noob to Linux and command based things in general I have the free edition of Unraid (5.0 RC5) and have the array working great. Would love to add a drive outside of array for applications etc. What ive tried: Original SNAP: cant seem to find my partitions. (even though ive tried creating them NTFS from windows, ext3 from linux, reiserfs from unmenu) New GUI SNAP: doesnt seem to work at all Unmenu: i can format the drive, mount and share but its not automatic Other: Tried formating the drive and applying a label and tried modifying the go script with some success ( i think i could mount it but could not get write permissions connecting from windows, i tried to modify the samba config file with no luck) So what is the preferred method, am i missing something. I thought the by label route would be best since i think ive seen my drive show up as both hdb1 and sdb1 after reboots. If i can get the unmenu method to auto mount and share on reboot that would be preferrable since its the furthest ive gotten so far. But will the changing \dev\ID be a problem?
