I am currently running 6.5.1 and currently have 8 Samba shares I'm using in Unassigned_Devices from my Sagetv box. It is a Windows 7 box with 6 Media drives in it(each drive is shared). I am also running Stablebit's Drivepool on that machine with the pool using drive K:, and K: is shared. Most everything seems to be working fine, except for: Seems like after a while my K: share just breaks. The share is still there, but it shows a size of 0b. I can clear it by unmounting and remounting the drive, then it goes back to showing me 34.2T as the size. When I look at dmesg, I see these 2 messages: [ 36.030224] CIFS VFS: Dialect not supported by server. Consider specifying vers=1.0 or vers=2.0 on mount for accessing older servers [ 36.030257] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -95 [ 36.166723] CIFS VFS: Dialect not supported by server. Consider specifying vers=1.0 or vers=2.0 on mount for accessing older servers [ 36.166742] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -95 I'm not sure this will actually correct my issue, but what I can't figure out is how do I set things up in samba-extra.conf so that I can specify the version to mount this K: drive. Or, what diagnostics can I enable so that I can try to find out when and why my share seems to go to sleep or do whatever it's doing to go to 0b size? Thanks, Mark Here are the contents of my samba-extra.conf: client max protocol = SMB2_10 include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/sagetv1_e.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/sagetv1_f.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/sagetv1_G.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/sagetv1_h.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/sagetv1_j.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/mythtv1_disk1.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/mythtv1_disk2.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/mythtv1_disk3.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/mythtv1_disk4.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/mythtv1_disk5.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/sagetv1_D.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/sagetv1_K.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/sagetv1_PlayLater.conf include = /etc/samba/unassigned-shares/en_office_professional_plus_2010_with_sp1_x86_x64_dvd_730330.conf

Thanks for the pointer. Turns out the USB drive was throwing bad sector errors. But, I was able to pull enough of the /config directory to be able to create a new Flash drive with 6.5.1 and my captured /config directory and everything booted up nicely. Did a Registration Key transfer and now everything looks like it's out there just fine (all my drives are there and no parity check necessary, and my Plex docker is out there). I put everything on a Lexar 32GB Jumpdrive S75 with a 3 yr warranty, so hopefully I won't run into this again for a while.

I just upgraded from 6.5.0 (which was plenty stable) to 6.5.1 and after the reboot, the system is not booting up at all. I can boot into single user mode, but I can't get into regular mode. I will attach screen shots of where it looks like it's hanging, but it kind of looks / feels like udev isn't behaving correctly. When I boot into single user mode and poke around, I see that there is no /dev/disk file structure, which is also indicated in the photos, in that it can't find /dev/disk/by-label/UNRAID, and so can't find it's brains to boot. Not sure where to go for further diagnosis or progress, so any help would be appreciated.

So, just in case anyone else has this problem and stumbles upon it, the problem appeared to be the name resolution. I guess my sagetv1 isn't an actual host name defined where it needs to be (router maybe, since that is my resolution source. Guess I need to research that). The quick solution is to replace my sagetv1 host name with the actual IP address (102.168.0.x) in the sageplex_cfg.json, and walla, scanner is banging heck out of my network as it's pulling all the show information and building my libraries.

I'm trying to set up a new instance of PMS on my unRAID server, and the LinuxServer image created fine. But, I am having one small issue. I have installed the sageplex scanner to allow me to import sagetv shows and movies to Plex. I have this all working on my sagetv box, but I want to offload the plex to my unRaid box. I am running unRaid 6.2.2, and my docker containers are fairly new, created under 6.2.1 in the last week. I have one of my 6 Sagetv drives mapped in via Samba, and it's also shared into my docker container. When I do a refresh on the Sagetv library I created, the sageplex container complains with the following error: [525/528] Processing /sagetv1_D/Videos/WomensCollegeVolleyball-FloridaatArkansas-22670825-0.ts 2016-10-31 22:14:35,105| DEBUG | Getting media info from SageTV ... 2016-10-31 22:14:35,106| DEBUG | openUrl: http://xxxx:yyyyy@sagetv1:8080/sagex/api?c=plex:GetMediaFileForName&1=WomensCollegeVolleyball-FloridaatArkansas-22670825-0.ts&encoder=json 2016-10-31 22:14:35,137| ERROR | openUrl: failed on: http://xxxx:yyyyy@sagetv1:8080/sagex/api?c=plex:GetMediaFileForName&1=WomensCollegeVolleyball-FloridaatArkansas-22670825-0.ts&encoder=json: [Errno socket error] [Errno -2] Name or service not known 2016-10-31 22:14:35,138| ERROR | No media info from SageTV: WomensCollegeVolleyball-FloridaatArkansas-22670825-0.ts My networking is set to Host and I've tried the privileged as both enabled and disabled, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Wondered if anyone has any insights or thoughts on the issue. Thanks,

Well, I found the FUGLY solution: append ',vers=2.1' to my username or to my password when creating the remote mounts (or in my case, add it to the samba_mount.cfg file). However, this is a really bad practice, and I would still like to know if there is a "clean" or correct manner to handle this scenario?

I have a Windows 7 Sagetv system that has over 15TB worth of captured TV media on. I want to be able to mount the Windows drive on my unRAID box, and then setup Plex in a Docker container and access the Sagetv Media from the Docker container. Sounds pretty simple. So, I was able to mount all 6 of my drives initially using the Remote SMB/NFS dialog. However, sometime after mounting all my drives, I started getting 121 errors from Samba. I found a couple of solutions online: Change the registry keys: ----------- Solution 1: This is Windows problem and following registry values need to be changed: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache - set it to 1 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size - set it to 3 --------------------- Solution 2: I got the same error, but found a different solution, since I did not want to mess with the Windows registry. Apparently, Windows 7 uses a different SMB version, and that needs to be specified on the command line in Linux. Once I add vers=2.1, I can connect without errors. · 2.1 – The SMBv2.1 protocol that was introduced in Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2. ------------------------- So, I tried solution 2 from the command line, and that worked successfully. root@Tower:/boot/config/plugins/unassigned.devices# mount -v -ouser=*******,password=******** -t cifs //sagetv1/D /mnt/disks/sagetv1_D mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.0.10,unc=\\sagetv1\D,user=*******,pass=******** mount error(121): Remote I/O error Refer to the mount.cifs( manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) root@Tower:/boot/config/plugins/unassigned.devices# mount -v -ouser=********,password=*******,vers=2.1 -t cifs //sagetv1/D /mnt/disks/sagetv1_D mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.0.10,unc=\\sagetv1\D,vers=2.1,user=********,pass=******** root@Tower:/boot/config/plugins/unassigned.devices# l /mnt/disks/sagetv1_D ./ ../ Plus.key* SageTV/ System\ Volume\ Information/ Videos/ rsync.out* rsync1.out* sage.bak/ As can be seen, adding the vers clause as an option seems to have cleared up that issue. So, my question is this: I found where the shares are stored on /boot/config/plugins/unassigned.devices/samba_mounts.cfg. However, I was wondering if there is a way to add some additional samba options to that file (Like vers=2.1)? All I see are these: [//sagetv1/e] protocol = "SMB" ip = "sagetv1" path = "e" user = "********" pass = "*******" share = "e" automount = "yes"

I am thinking that it's time to get rid of my Windows Home Server 2011, and I'm looking for a replacement solution. The latest version of NovaBackup got a pretty good review at PC Mag, but I was wondering if anyone here has used it with unRaid, and have any good/bad/horror stories they would like to share? I also notice that lots of folks seem to use crashplan. Any comments or comparisons with Novabackup would also be appreciated. Thanks,

I guess I wasn't as clear as I should have been in my explanation. I was envisioning being able to use a desktop or laptop of some kind. That being said, I was also envisioning that the USB key would be plugged into any PC/laptop on the floor. My main concern is that any piece of equipment that the USB key is plugged into COULD be sold at any time. This was the driver for a completely portable, encapsulated environment. So, if the "host" gets sold, they unplug the USB key, plug it into another PC/laptop, boot it up, and it's back online. Basically I'm thinking out loud here. I just wanted to know if some thoughts I had were even feasible.

Hi, I'm wondering about a very specific application: Would it be possible to put unRaid on a large enough USB key, so that the Host OS AND the storage are all contained on the same Key? My scenario: I know a guy that works at a computer/electronics/parts reseller operation, so I presume they have constantly shifting inventory. Currently, the guy puts movies on micro-USB keys so they can be displayed on their showroom TVs. My thought was: What if you could have a NAS that was wholly contained on a USB key, including 1 or 2 .mp4 movies? Then, as inventory is sold, and new inventory placed on the floor, all they have to do is plug in the USB Key, and turn it on, and walla, NAS is back on line, independent of what hardware (laptop/desktop) they have it running in. With a 32GB or 64GB USB Key, I would think you could have quite a bit of storage available. Any thoughts or pitfalls/gotchas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark

Hi, I was wondering if there are any plans to add support to allow unRAID 5 to become an iSCSI target? And if so, how will that also tie into using a cache drive? I know that for the 4.7 write-up I saw, we need to point to the /dev/mdx location, not the /dev/sdx. But, will the /dev/mdx location also utilize the cache drive, or will there be a different dev point?

I've noticed that when I login/browse the forums from work it's pretty snappy. And when I browse the forums from home, it's abysmal (many delays, sometimes I get timeouts, or incomplete pages). What I don't know is, is the problem with my home network (ISP is comcast), or is it the time of day (after 7pm MST)? Just wondering if others have problems with the forums in the evenings so I can try to narrow the issue. I definitely don't have issues with other sites, such as ebay, google, amazon, etc
