  1. So I went nuts today and decided to nuke my server and start over from square one. I got a new flash drive, formatted it and put on a new PRO key. Installed unRaid v6.1.6 Assigned my drives (same drives as previous setup) Installed plugins and other tweaks to mimic my old setup I started the server but am not able to save any new user share entries. Basically just wanted to recreate the same ones I had before. It let's me enter the share information but won't save it. Yes, global user shares setting is enabled. Tried many things, starting/stopping array, rebooting between changing settings, etc. Nothing works. Finally I gave up and copied a backup of my old /config/shares folder on to the flash drive. Rebooted/restarted the server and it still doesn't show the user shares on the share tab. The server does use the /config/shares entries because the shares appear properly on the network. It does not show them or allow me to edit them on the shares tab. Any ideas?
  2. cache is set to never spin down. All other drives spindown after 15 mins. Under Disk Settings > Enable spinup groups is set to No and was never enabled at any time. Using any post-processing scripts or anything in Sonarr or any other container? Nothing. NZBGet downloads the file, unpacks it to the cache drive, Sonarr or CP will find it there and rename it and copy to to it's final location. The final location is also on the cache drive just a different directory. I'm in the process of shutting down my entire array and rebooting. Hopefully that will clean out any ghosts in the machine. I'll let you know.

  4. I've not noticed this behaviour. Post a screenshot of your NZBGet settings, sometimes a second pair of eyes can help... The way it's setup is that NZBGet will download to an externally mounted SSD (/scratch). The files will then be unpacked from the /scratch/incomplete folder to my cache drive where Sonarr or CP will process them. None of these dockers are mapped to the actual array in any way, only the /scratch and /cache drives. It's a mystery as to why my array spins up, and oddly, not the XFS drive.
  5. I've just started using NZBGet and noticed that when a download completes my array spins up. Normally I have all processes with unRaid take place on my cache drive and only spin up the array to manually archive data. I've checked my volume mappings and there's nothing pointed at the array proper, just the cache drive and a SSD mounted outside the array. Array is 5 drives formatted with reiserfs and 1 drive formatted XFS. All 5 reiserfs drives get spun up after every download. The 6th (XFS) never does. unRaid reports some read action on the 5 drives, never any writing. NZBGet shouldn't even know the array exists let alone spin it up and read from it. Anyone else notice this behavior? I rarely spin up my array unless necessary so this is very annoying. I used to run SABnzbd on a VM and this never happened until switching to the NZBget docker.
  6. I struggled with this issue for two weeks. Finally got it to work but unfortunately don't know how I did it! Symptoms were the same as you. After the SSD was mounted and a volume mapped to it, the folder appeared empty inside the docker container. Issuing: "docker exec plex mount" in terminal showed the mount point wasn't the drive (sdx1) but rather it was being mounted as /rootfs. I finally gave up after devoting ungodly amounts of time trying to make it work. Later I had need to temporarily mount an old spinner. Just for kicks I tried mapping the volume to it instead of the SSD and it worked flawlessly. That lead me to think something was up with the SSD. Here's where I'm not sure what got it working. I can only describe what I did. From the command line I manually re-partitioned and formatted the SSD to EXT4 then again into XFS. Updated all my unRaid plugins. Updated unRaid from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4. After the next boot the SSD was showing a generic label in unAssigned Devices. I clicked 'rescan disks' which made it show the expected drive name. After that the drive was able to work properly. There might have been some other things but that's all I remember doing specifically. I also remember poking around the unAssigned Devices config file but doubt anything I did in there helped matters. But if you need to manually adjust settings or clear things out that's where you can look.
  7. Nope, unfortunately it still doesn't work. Inside the docker container it's still mounted as rootfs and still shows as empty. Outside docker it's mounted properly and shows all the files.
  8. I'm not following what you mean by /media/ssd. I don't have anything mapped like that.
  9. I have a SSD that is not part of my array which has some music files that I'd like to use with Plex. It gets mounted using the Unassigned devices plugin to '/dev/sdj1 on /mnt/ssd' I've mapped a Plex container volume "/media/music" to host volume "/mnt/ssd/music/" On the Docker page under the Plex container volume map I can click the folder link and it shows the files on the SSD. However within the Docker container it shows the "/media/music" folder is empty. Doing 'docker exec plex mount' shows the container volume has been mounted as 'rootfs on /media/music' All the other mapped volumes associated with Plex are on my cache drive and are mounted as '/dev/sdk1'. What would cause this one to be 'rootfs'? And how can I get it to map correctly?
  10. This docker is for the full minecraft for PC's, it won't work with PE, the programs are totally different. Thanks for the info!
  11. In addition to my cache drive that Plex uses to stores it's data. I have a second drive that is mounted outside the array that I'd like to store a few albums on so Plex can access them. I've assigned a volume map in the GUI and it creates the proper folders as expected. However Plex can't access the folders. Inside the docker I can see the folder and it appears empty. On the physical drive it shows the folder with the files in it. It's possibly a permissions issue. When examining a volume mapped folder on my cache drive (within the Plex docker) they are owned by abc:users. The folders mapped on my second drive are all root:root. This is after mapping folders through the GUI, they didn't exist on the drive beforehand. On both the physical cache drive and secondary drive the owner is nobody:users. Any ideas on why it creates proper mappings on my cache drive but not a secondary drive?
  12. I set this up for my nephew but he couldn't connect to it. He uses an app called minecraft PE. Is there a special version of minecraft client that works with this server?
  13. Did you find a fix for this? I have seen the same symptoms. I noticed my cache drive was no longer persistent before adding this plugin (I have recently added the pre-clear plugin and then noticed the issue when I rebooted to add a new drive). I did not change the physical cache drive, but I did unassign it to do a secure erase approximately a month ago. I probably hadn't rebooted the server since I first reassigned the drive following the secure erase and the recent power down to install the new drive. I'm assuming this isn't related to gfjardim's excellent plugins, but I am curious if you've corrected the problem. I've removed the flash and checked it in a Windows box (indicating no issues) and unassigned/reassigned the cache drive multiple times with no change. I did finally fix the problem. In Flash/config I manually edited the disk.cfg file and changed the cacheID entry to the name of my new cache drive (as reported by unAssigned devices). It then persisted through reboots. My old cache drive, which I'm leaving in the system, now shows up in unAssigned devices as it should. Before it did not.
  14. Do you have external directories mapped? I've found that using the default /mnt/user/appdata folder prefix would never work. Changing it to /mnt/cache/appdata would allow the GUIs to load properly.
  15. Thanks for the insight. I went the route of adding a second USB drive and the errors have stopped.
  16. Really love this plugin!. I just upgraded my cache drive. Even though it's assigned to the cache slot it still shows under Unassigned Devices. Is that normal? Also my cache drive does not persist between reboots now. I have to keep adding it back in manually. Not sure if that is something to do with this plugin, but never had that problem before. Any ideas?
  17. I noticed this on my server last night. Flash drive had over 2 million read hits on it over the last ten days.. ugh. Just upgraded to 6.1.3 and issue is still there. Has there been any progress on this aside from plugging in a second USB?
  18. I can verify it does not work on my ESXI m1015 either.
  19. Since root doesn't work I use: -o username=nobody,password=""
  20. That's not the proper URL. Change it to this: https://github.com/binhex/docker-templates Then select minidlna from the template list.
  21. Last week I came across a Windows XP hard drive backup image made 6 years ago with DD. I no longer have the drive but thought it'd be fun to get it the image to boot as a virtual disk. This was in Windows not Mac, but i'd think the process might be similar. First make a DD img of your drive. Use raw2vmdk on the img file to create the virtual disk headers. It's a cross-platform JAVA app. https://github.com/Zapotek/raw2vmdk Create your VM to closely match the original machine. Remove the VM's hard disk and attach your vmdk to the VM and boot. In my case it wouldn't boot. A simple replacement of the MBR record and it works fine. If you don't need it to boot up just install a bootable OS in your VM then add your VMDK as a second drive. You should be able to use recovery tools on it.
  22. I often plug in drives that I need to share across my network. This approach has worked great for me. On my cache drive I have a share which is set to cache only (meaning the unRaid mover ignores it). I call it NAS. It's a permanent share that I use to easily share files around my network. Whenever I need access to a drive outside the array I make a subfolder in NAS. Mounting the drives partition to that subfolder in NAS will make the files instantly accessible across the network. First you need to know where unRaid sees your hard drive. Plug it in and click the Unassigned Devices tab from the unRaid menu (if you have the Dynamix plugin). Find your drive listed, for example: sdc If you don't have Dynamix you can list all your drives and identify which one you want using the unRaid console command: fdisk -l |more (that's a lowercase -L) Next make a subfolder on your cache drive where you want the files to show. For example: NAS/myfiles Since drives can have multiple partitions you need to know which one to mount with your files. At the unRaid console type: fdisk -l /dev/sdc (or whatever drive Unassigned Devices showed) That will list your drives partitions. Now mount the partition containing your files: mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/cache/NAS/myfiles This example assumes you are accessing files on partition 1 of the sdc device, yours could likely be different. All your files will now be accessible via the cache drive share. When you are done and want to unplug the drive enter this at the console: umount /dev/sdc1 (Note: That's umount not unmount!)
  23. I remote admin into my router and forward ports to my ESXi server. In vSphere enter your routers WAN IP and connect as normal. When done simply close up the router ports for security sake. Here's the ports: https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.hostclient.doc%2FGUID-5071C86E-FF1E-4E54-A424-A20917401160.html
