Is not "my media" on unraid 98% downloaded files for plex? mmmmk Probably not support either but yet here we are.

My business needs backups are almost 14TB of data. Personal media i would just download again and i use google for personal stuff that actually matters. (keep work/personal separate) I will look into the things you mentioned as i can. Thanks for your time.

I have been working on finding a backup solution for unraid for weeks. I dont know if its the number of files or what, but nothing works. The wonky docker is just that, wonky, and doesnt work. Out of the box the template is(was?) misconfigured bad enough to not even work, i figured it out and notified the author, who fixed it, but that means it was there months if not years, just not working. I cant trust that for backups. It will break sooner rather than later and then it may or may not get fixed someday. Anyway, I wonder if this might be a backblaze app problem/setting so am looking at that route now. I a not paying for NAS type backup at $6+ per TB, its just to expensive. Fuck at that price i can just buy another machine and put it at a relatives. And its pretty discouraging that unraid doesnt have an integrated backup solution for plebs like me. Seems you gotta be a script kiddie or cmd line guru to use unraid for realsies. 🙂

Cool, thanks for your help though. This is really a bummer, i cant find a way to back up these files. Going to have to leave unraid over this. ugh

hhhmmm These are originally created on a windows machine in the documents folder. In manually checking path lengths i can find many are hitting 175 to 200 characters long. However when created on the windows box, they are in the "user" folder and are then copied to the unraid share. Original path: c:\users\user_name\original_folder\data\date\group\file.wav Unraid path: /mnt/user/share/data/date/group/file.wav Mounted as: c:\data\date\group\file.wav So the path the backblaze client would be looking at is smaller than the path in the windows cm in which it was created. That being said, i dont see this character limit being the problem. The drive is definialey being unmounted. And i can only assume something like maybe a file count limit is causing this? Which i hoped might be adjustable. Watching resources on both VM and unraid all seems good in those areas. Thoughts?

Got this all working. Running into a problem that i think ill just be stuck with but hoping... Part of what im backing up are audio files, not music but other short recordings. 3 folders deep, i have the top folder say "data" then in that are about 1000 folders and each of those have about 30 folders and then each of those have anywhere from 3k to 6k short audio files. In short, there are almost 9 million files. When its scanning this share/drive, its dying. It looses the connection to the drive and i have to restart the VM to get it back up. Unmounting and remounting does not bring it back. I know there are issues with the underlying software/drivers just not being primetime yet. Is this anything anyone has a suggestion for? Thanks!

Edit 1: WAIT, THINK I FIGURED THIS OUT. WILL UPDATE AGAIN Edit 2: Yes, i figured this out, i had forgotten to set all my "Unraid share mode" passthroughs. First, installed winfsp-2.0.23075.msi Rebooted. Ran batch file 1 as seen below: sc stop VirtioFsSvc ping 127.0.0.1 sc config VirtioFsSvc start=demand ping 127.0.0.1 cmd /c ""C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\bin\fsreg.bat" virtiofs "C:\Program Files\Virtio-Win\VioFS\virtiofs.exe" "-t %%1 -m %%2"" echo Confirm data was properly entered into HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\WinFsp\Services\virtiofs pause Configured below batch file and ran as admin: @echo off :: Check for admin privileges net session >nul 2>&1 if %errorlevel% == 0 ( echo Running with admin privileges ) else ( echo Running without admin privileges echo Attempting to elevate process... PowerShell -Command "Start-Process -Verb RunAs -FilePath '%comspec%' -ArgumentList '/c %~f0'" exit /b ) :: Rest of your batch file starts here REM Modify the Drive Letters such as viofsJ J: as well as the tag (tag1) to match the tags (case senstive) set in Unraid. "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\bin\launchctl-x64.exe" start virtiofs viofsJ public J: public case is accurate to the array share. First time it runs, nothing happens. Second time i run it, KO launcher: Error 183 Would appreciate advice on what i messed up. Thanks. Default windows 10 install (fully updated) btw. Nothing else installed. OS is activated.

So my goal is to set this up with a backblaze client to perform backups. Would smb would be a better option then? Like a mapped drive situation? I figured the network overhead would work out to slower transfers than directly connected. (what do i know, all assumptions) I thought that would be the worst option which is why i was trying to get this working. Guidance is appreciated if you have any further. You got a buy me a coffee site or anything?

So when you shared that initially, i clicked on the link in the middle of the post and went right to here: https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/howto-windows.html So i missed all the info in the post. Hence my confusion. Thanks for taking yet more time to help figure this out. I will tackle this soon.

I did. It says nothing about how to mount multiple drives. It has no example batch file. I can create a service. Great. How do i then use that service? At first i thought your page was broke it just seems to end with here is your service. No info on how to use it though. Im sure that is apprent to you, but its not to me. And since you didnt hear me, well i will have to move on.

Is there a guide for doing this? Batch file example maybe? Confused as to whether i should follow your guide now or not? End goal, see multiple shares in windows vm.

In looking over it for the moment (will deal with this later) it looks like exactly what i need. Question. It says "virtiofs will use the first available drive letter starting with Z: and downward. Use the "-m" command line parameter to explicitly select a drive letter." How do i use the -m parameter? Do i use it in the line above when installing the service or? Edit: actually how do i use this once installed? For multiple shares to mount? And side note, you have an image not working on that page. The image under the line "Download and run the latest stable version of the WinFsp installer:" The link still works though.

That looks pretty on spot. I will check it out. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Any chance there is a setup guide for an idiot to make this work? I've read so much and i have no idea how to make this work.
