This works as described for me as well.

No, the directions he gives have nothing to do with unMenu. My understanding is that installpkg plexlight-<version>-i386-unRAID.tgz only needs to be executed once. Is this correct or should it be added to the go script so that it is installed after every reboot?

Does this plugin rely on unmenu to work? I have installed to flash/custom and also use the simplefeatures gui, but the plex app is not added to the webgui and plex does not start automatically when unraid starts. I don't use unmenu. Regards, Roland

Plex works fine for me running avahi in beta10. Roland

When I get info on the shares, it shows that smb is being used.

You can put this line in your 'go' script before invoking 'emhttp': rm /etc/avahi/services/smb.service This just removes the service definition file for smb under avahi. Now Finder won't see it automatically but it would be interesting to see under Lion if you can connect to AFP via Finder sidebar as usual, and then also connect using "Connect to Server" method to same share using smb. If you look inside that smb.service file you'll see it's pretty simple. Maybe there's another way to same server show up in Finder sidebar with both protocols enabled. If I remove the smb.service file I can no longer connect to afp via Finder Sidebar. The entry for afp is there, but the shares are mounted using smb. Connect to server works as expected. So are you saying this: 1. With smb.service file removed, the server still shows up in sidebar because AFP is enabled. 2. If you click on your server in the sidebar, it works, but then you can't connect via smb. 3. Alternately, if you connect via smb, it now won't work to click on your server in the sidebar. All above correct? 1. Correct, the server without the -SMB prefix is still in the sidebar since afp service is enabled. 2. If I click the server in the sidebar, it works but connects using smb and not afp. 3. Not sure if I follow, but both the sidebar and connect to server work, but both use smb.

It is a bug. Lion Finder will not connect to smb unraid in the sidebar if the service has the prefix -SMB.

I don't have Lion just yet, but if you google "Lion SMB" and you'll see there are all kinds of issues with Lion accessing Windows shares and Samba shares. Supposedly Apple has developed their own replacement for Samba called "smbx": http://www.itproportal.com/2011/03/28/apple-replaces-samba-mac-osx-10-7-lion/ The "-SMB" suffix is just the smb service being advertised by AVAHI. Please try Finder's "Connect to Server" dialog and use "cifs" or "smb" as the protocol, e.g.: cifs://tower and report back the results of this. If you remove the -SMB prefix from the service file, smb works from the finder sidebar. Unfortunately AFP is then no longer available in the sidebar. Connect to server works as it did before and even works with the -SMB prefix. This is using 5.09.

I think the problem is when AFP *and* SMB are used at the same time, the SMB connection is renamed to "tower-SMB". Normally this works fine, but in Lion the OS seems to be trying to connect to "tower-SMB" (which is not a valid name, doesn't resolve to an IP address) and failing to connect. A second problem seems to exist with Time Machine on AFP shares. I'm not sure what causes it. This seems to be the case. I edited the smb.service file and removed the -SMB suffix and now it works. Of course I only have one entry in the sidebar now, since both afp and smb have the same name and now my afp shares are missing. Roland

same problem. Also documented in thread http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14116.0

I can't access smb user shares either using unraid 5.09 and lion when clicking on the finder sidebar entry under "SHARED". AFP works though. I am able to connect to smb shares if I mount the share using "Connect to server". The share is then mounted under Volumes, but not visible in the sidebar.

are you using an ip address or something like tower to try and access unraid (smb://tower or smb://192.168.1.X)?

I am using AFP and have a share with two users assigned. One user with read/write and one user with only read permissions. I had to run the newperms script manually since it did not work from the gui. All files and folders now have user:group nobody:users and folder permissions are set to drwxr-xr-x and file permissions seem to be all over the place - some have -rw-rw---- others have -rw-rwS---. From the Finder I am no longer able to change folder names or file names, nor can I delete folders or files. Has anyone else had this problem? Samba works correctly: I can both change and delete files/folders.

OK, I did not know about those files. Well, if worse comes to worse I can modify my .DS_Store unMenu package so that these files are looked for and removed also. Tom might be able to build something in so that We don't have to do that but I think I would rather it be an opt in with the user having to set it up. I use blueharvest to take care of those .ds_store files. Do you mean .apdisk files?

I am really happy that AFP is getting this kind of attention in the next release. SMB works, but it isn't ideal in a Mac environment. I don't know how large Unraid's Mac user base is, but having the choice of which protocol to use is great. Otherwise UnRaid 4 works great and is stable. The lack of a stable 5 is no reason not to purchase a license (unless you want AFP support that just works). Roland

I think that it is better then the original, especially the tabs.

I was wondering the same thing. Right now I am primarily interested in AFP support. I think that there are a lot of good ideas being tossed around, but most seem out of scope for beta-3.

thanks for the link. I am getting a C compiler error "No working C compiler found". I have gcc installed, is some other package missing? Roland

Hi, I am having trouble finding x264_0.svn20100115.orig.tar.tgz. Where/how did you get it? Regards, Roland

command + K: type: smb://yourunraiduser@unraid_ip/ replace yourunraiduser with the user you created on the unRaid User page and replace unraid_ip with the ip you use in Safari to access the server.

I really like the idea of multiple arrays in a single machine. Parity does take a long time if you have +8 data disks. Multiple arrays and sas expanders seems a perfect match. One machine with multiple external enclosures. Today I have 2 unRaid systems - mostly because I didn't want the hassle of getting a new case and migrating everything to the new case (and the risk for error during migration) and from work I got an old computer for free (same intel board as the original unRaid server). It seems wasteful to run two servers when one would have the required horsepower. Roland

I for one would like Tom to be able to concentrate on UnRaid 5 or getting the new linux kernel in a beta instead of questions about the GPL. Most people don't give a damn or understand it.

how would you attach a cdrom? I am thinking about how to install an operating system other than UnRaid, for example pfsense or some linux distro. Roland

I had difficulty following the instructions when it came to creating the users. Do you creating new users or do you change your current users (created using the unraid web gui). The business of the passwords I didn't follow either. Do you use passwd and useradd/usermod to create/change the users and how do you update the shadow password? Roland
