[Guide: How To Use Rclone To Mount Cloud Drives And Play Files]

Hi everyone, is it possible to mount more then 1 drive?

Do i need to create another docker or can i use the same one?

[Unmountable: Unsupported Partition Layout after moving drive to USB]

ok anyways i have given up and formatted the drive, because i am mostly experimenting at the moment, it only had 1 vm that will take me about 45 minutes to recreate

[Unmountable: Unsupported Partition Layout after moving drive to USB]

ok i moved the drive back and it's still showing unsupported.

i see its sdf now, how can i change it back to sda?

what i am trying to do....i have a few extra drives, just busy testing if they can be added and needed the extra bays

[Unmountable: Unsupported Partition Layout after moving drive to USB]

Hi everyone 

I am still  trying to set up my server.

So i had to move one of the drive to an external USB, didn't think it'll be an issue but now i am getting:

Unmountable: Unsupported Partition Layout

and:

btrfs check -s 1 /dev/sda
using SB copy 1, bytenr 67108864
Opening filesystem to check...
No valid Btrfs found on /dev/sda
ERROR: cannot open file system

 

What happened?

i can format the drive again but prefer not to....if i mount the drive i can access everything

I am still a little confused on what to do with my SSD.

all i want it to run some dockers and vm's, and for that i want the fast speed of ssd.

 

whats the difference between cache and unassign  ?

Thanks.

is there an easy backup and restore?

I am also busy googling , but moving vm's and dockers is just a matter of copying the appdata share?

 

Not quite   The 'appdata' share is where by default the variable data for dockers is stored so the statement is basically true for dockers.

 

VMs on the other hand do not use that share.   By default the vdisks for VMs are stored in under the 'domains' share but again users can over-ride where they are stored.

No, Unraid needs to format all array and caches devices before use, even if they already use a supported filesystem.

thanks, gonna make my life slightly complicated, lol but i will manage

[Rclone mount permission problem]

Hi, every time i restart the server, i need to run chmod 777 /data

for rclone mount to work (plex docker can read the folder)

any idea how to automate this?

[Some newbie questions]

Hi everyone, i originally bought my license in 2011.

Since then i went through a lot of different  operating systems, and last week i decided to try the new unRaid.

 

I wasn't 100% sure it's the right OS for me, so i installed it on a spare NUC, installed vm's,dockers, and i am very happy with it.

Now i need to migrate everything to my HP server.

 

So i am going to start small, 1 SSD (for vm's,docker), 1HD for everything else.

If i understand correctly, i the recommended way is:

 

SSD as a cache drive, with vm's/docker

HD for media and whatever as part of the array.

 

I thought the cache drive stores files temporarily and then move to array, i am guessing there is an option to disable that?

The actual move, can i just move the flash drive and do a simple copy (of the vm's and containers) from the current ssd to the server's ssd?

 

one last thing and i think thats the trickiest ....my data drive is currently btrsf , synology ,none raid 8TB.if i understand correctly i can mount it as unassigned, BUT can i make it the array without formatting?that can be a big help or i should rather keep it unassigned until i can afford (probably not soon...) a parity.

i am also not TOO stressed about the parity.

sorry about the long message...lol
