Unfortunately the joy was short. All the unassigned devices were showing incorrect free disk space and when I tried stopping the array to revert the extra SMB settings it got stuck. I had to force a reboot and manually remove the config. Yes, I have been warned. But still can't believe there's no clean solution to the problem....

Man, you saved the day! It worked! Thanks for the excellent hint!

Thanks, will do so.

Hello dev, might be a dumb question, but is there a way to share the whole /mnt/disks directory via SMB? The reason I'm asking is because if you have a large number of drives attached as unassigned devices you need to enable sharing on each one of them separately which is tedious and not very convinient. Also mounting large number of SMB shares on another machine is a nightmare. So is it possible to share via SMB the /mnt/disks location? Thanks!

Ok, I've attached diagnostics to my previous message. the problem happened like ~30 min. ago.

Hello unraiders, I have noticed a strange problem with unassigned devices plugin with large number of drives. I have around 80-90 drives attached in a jbod connected to my unraid. Sometimes I need to unmount a drive and clear/format it. And when I press "Unmount" randomly it starts unmounting some of the other drives, too?! This happens very randomly. I'd say between 3 and 8 attempts it leads to this behaviour. I don't know if it's a bug or something else. Can you help me identify the reason for this? Thanks! tower-diagnostics-20240603-1633.zip

Hello guys, Can someone give me a hint what might be the problem on my machine. So I have around 30 unassigned regular HDDs ranging from 1TB to 16TB. They are all spread across 4 HBAs and diskspeed docker shows the HBAs are not the bottleneck. Read speeds are ok, around 150-200MB/s, but write speeds can't exceed 65MB/s ?! What could be the reason? I have both XFS and NTFS formatted drives, but it's always the same write speed. These drives are capable of much more than 60MB/s write Again this is outside of the Array. Also copying between the disks via Krusader or MC is giving the same slow write speed Thanks!

+1 Coming from FreeNAS this is missing...

So I re-formatted it on my laptop with NTFS. Then it appeared as mountable, but got this: Mounting volume... $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 24). Then I ran ntfsfix couple of times and VOALA! It mounted! Thanks for your support and great plugin!!

I deleted Temp share, re-formatted the drive, but Mount button is still grayed... In which condition this button is disabled?

Alright, the drive in question is HGST_HTS545050A7E380_131108TM85A3PY16J8HM (sdas) Thanks in advance! tower-diagnostics-20211019-1029.zip

Hello guys, newbie here, please excuse me, but I searched the whole internet and could't find solution to my issue. I have around 35 drives both array and/or unassigned devices and they all work fine EXCEPT one. It's a Toshiba 500GB SATA hdd that whatever I do I can't mount, Mount button is gray. SMART is ok, drive is healthy. I tried formatting XFS, NTFS, same thing. I tried re-formatting on my windows PC and plugging it back, same thing, can't mount. Drive is not set for Pass-through, checked many times. I tried both SATA and USB and same behavior, Mount button grayed. Can someone point me what to look for? Thanks in advance!
