I couldn't find a Binhex-sonarr specific forum to post this in. I'm trying to import my already existing library to Sonarr. I imported what exists on my unraid server itself successfully, but I have a remote mount to my NAS that works, the share works, it's mounted fine, and I'm pretty sure I have it mounted correctly in the docker settings, and it even shows up when I go to import a library/choose a folder, and I browse to the folder I want to import. When I choose it and hit ok, nothing happens. It's really strange. Am I not able to import remote mounted shares to the container? That would suck. Specifically: I have an SMB share on my NAS added and mounted as a remote share on unraid It's in /mnt/remotes/nasshare In the docker container I have my share path as /remotes, host path as /mnt/remotes/nasshare, and default value is /mnt/remotes It's really strange that I can browse to it, and it displays the contents within the sonarr docker, but clicking ok doesn't add the folder like it did for the other 2 shares I added.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that. I just can't get the metadata to get picked up with my server so I'm going to have to build it from scratch again. Annoying but not the end of the world. I seem to be getting mixed results, can I have both servers up at the same time? OR will that screw things up? I have plexpass but it's giving me very strange behavior when I have both servers up and running.

I came across this post as well. I'll have to do some more research. I screwed up my Docker trying to get the metadata moved in so I blew the whole thing away and will try again tomorrow. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

I do not understand that. I'm new to all of this. I've been trying to look up how to do it but I'm not really familiar with it enough to know what to look for. I thought there was a way in the docker settings or it's config file to set up mappings when you start the container, but I can't figure out how to se it up.

I'm migrating my Windows plex server to binhex-plexpass. I thought moving my metadata folder over had worked, but I was just seeing my Windows plex server still. It didn't take any of the 88gb of metadata I spent 40 hours zipping up and moving to the docker container. Really annoying. Now since I have to redo everything I'm trying to add my SMB shares I have on my Synology 918+. I created a user for unraid to use, gave it read access to my shares on my 918+, I searched, found, added, and mounted one of the remote shares in unraid, but I can't get my binhex-plexpass to use the share when I add it to the library. I've tried adding it via the share name like I had in my Windows plex server, I've tried adding as the /mnt/remotes/Share mountpath (When I browse /mnt there isn't a "remotes" folder, but if I click on the share I mounted the path is /mnt/remotes/Share. I even tried looking at the binhex-plexpass settngs to see if I could add it through there, but no luck. I'm sure this is something simple that I'm missing.

I figured out that I can go into shares and assign what drive I want the shares to be, so I've done that for system, appdata, and domains to move them to my 1TB drive. Do I have to do any manual moves or will unraid move any data that's not on that drive over to that drive? Remember I'm a windows guy and not familiar with any kind of mapping or mounting stuff Linux might be doing.

I'm not sure about what's being discussed here, but I defer to your collective knowledge and experience. All I did was build the unraid server, created 2 shares on the array, and used Krusader docker to move files between those shares. I'm not doing anything weird, or special, that I'm aware of that is.

Here's my diag. I poked around in them a bit but definitely don't want to try and change things on my own. Cache is what I want for only cache, and Appstore (which I'm blowing away and recreating as Data) should be where all my docker containers, vm's, etc. go. If I'm reading correctly I have to spin down the array, unmount the disk, and remount it to rename it correct? I also noticed that all the date I'm copying to my array is going to 1 disk instead of being spread between all 3. I chose the option to use all the disks, so why is it only using one of my 3 drives to put data on? weechflix-diagnostics-20210824-1937.zip

Interesting. There's a lot I don't understand there, but it kind of sounds like what was done. Although I wasn't copying files on top of themselves, I was copying into empty folders.

I'm using robocopy's /E /XC /XN /XO switches now to skip files that already exist. It's been quite helpful copying my library to my unraid array.

Will that zip file have personal identifiable information in it? I don't want to post something on the internet with access accounts/passwords and IP's. I have a pool created for the 2 drives already, I'm just trying to tell unraid to use it. You say move the appdata, domain, and system shares to it, but how do I do that?

There was nothing wrong with the files before the move. I moved one of the files back to the source, and was still broken. I moved the file to my windows machine, still didn't work. I even took ownership of the file and it still wouldn't play. Whatever Krusader did to my files it did it completely. I ended up just deleting them and re-copying them.

There was nothing wrong with the files, they still work at the source, they worked when I initially moved them to the Movies share, they stopped working when I used Krusader to move them to the TV Shows share. After that move, none of them will play.

Sorry for all the questions. I have a 500GB M.2 and a 1TB M.2 in my motherboard. I have my 500GB set to be my cache drive, and I wanted the 1TB drive to be my storage for all my dockers, plugins, apps, vm's, whatever else I wanted to run on this unraid thing. How would I go about setting my unraid to use my 1TB drive for all that stuff and still leave my 500GB as my cache drive?

That did not fix the issue. I ran it on the TV Shows share since that's the share with the files that won't play. This kind of thing is the reason why I wanted to just run a Windows VM with Plex in it. Running on Linux seems so hacky and nothing ever works how it's supposed to. All want to do is move files, the most basic thing in computers. Is there something I should do in the Docker container or on the array?

I'm migrating my data from my current Plex server to my new unraid server. I realized I put some tv shows in my Movies share. I installed the Krusader Docker and moved the tv shows folders from my Movies share to my TV Shows share. Everything is still playing fine in the Movies share, but anything that I just moved to the TV Shows share with Krusader won't play at all. Did I do something wrong?

I'll have to test it and see if it would prompt to overwrite, but I don't see anything in the options for skipping existing files, and I'm not doing and force options, so that leads me to think that it's default behavior is to either skip or prompt for existing files. It ended up with the correct number of files after I did another copy using file explorer in Windows, and chose the option to skip existing files. When I re-ran the script I used to copy the files in the first place, it just started copying away like there weren't already existing files.

Then why didn't my script complain that files already existed when I re-ran it? When I re-ran it it just started copying the files like the files didn't already exist.

I re-ran my script and it started copying everything normally without giving me any indication that it was skipping files that already exist. I used Windows file explorer to copy the contents of the folder to the share, it came up with an option to skip files that already exist, that copy completed, and now the folder's number of files match. Is this normal behavior or do I have something set up incorrectly on my unraid server?

Say I copy a bunch of movies to my unraid share called "Movies". Those files hit my cache drive first, then at 2am they are moved to my array and my cache drive is empty again. My thinking is that if I try to copy those same files to the "Movies" share again they will first hit the now empty cache drive, and since it's empty I'm thinking they will all copy to the cache drive because it's empty. At 2am when they are moved to the array it might overwrite or skip the duplicates, I'm not sure how it would handle those. Am I thinking about this wrong?

I'm in the process of moving most of my stuff to my new unraid server. I just did a comparison of what I've copied so far and I'm around 100 files shy on the unraid server. Because of the cache drive I can't just copy the files to the unraid server again because it will copy everything again. Can someone suggest what I can do to make sure everything is copied over? I am using robocopy so it should have copied everything. I'm doing multiple folders so I have multiple of the lines below, hence the -wait. My powershell is: start-process "robocopy.exe" -argumentlist "`"source`" `"destination`" /s /Z" -wait

I already have a Plex server I've been running in my Windows system for years and I don't want to mess with migrating it from one platform to another. I've read you really can't move from Windows to Linux easily.

I think I'll be fine with my setup, but I wasn't sure how UnRaid would handle having Plex running on a Widows 10 VM with an 8gb RAM drive for transcoding set up within Windows. Is it the same process as I normally would running Windows on a pc, or is it not possible in UnRaid?
