Why is it such a concern?

Diskinfo is not detecting mounted status correctly: BACKUPSERVER-preclear.disk-20170708-1516.zip

Set "Enable SMB Security?" to "Yes (hidden)" and the share will not be browseable. No one will see the share then.

You can control sharing in the Settings->Unassigned Devices.

Should be but it appears there is still an issue with array drives showing up in preclear. I disabled the diskinfo in UD until @gfjardim finished the diskinfo daemon. I have been testing his latest version and it appears that he has sorted out the issues. I'll issue another UD update to re-enable the diskinfo daemon once I am convinced the issues like you are experiencing have been solved. UD and preclear should always agree on the drives that are unassigned. If I recall, you had drives show up that were in your array. Be sure you have the latest version of preclear and if the disks still show up, download the preclear log and post it on the preclear thread so @gfjardim can see the issue.

Now I'm very confused. This is an SSD. Was it in your array or a cache drive? Disregard my previous post on preclearing the disk. I'd say you had/have a cable or other issue that caused the file system to become corrupt as the drive appears to be fine according to the SMART report.

The file system looks to be corrupt and that's why you can't mount it. Your decision at this point depends on whether or not you want the files on the disk. I'm not an expert on file system issues, but you can try the repair tool in UD to recover files or preclear the disk and see if it is still a viable disk in which case the files will be lost.

Look at the UD log and it will tell why it won't mount. It will not share until it is mounted.

Download and post the preclear log and diagnostics. No one can help you with the limited information you've provided.

I can imagine. The diskinfo daemon is slick, but I can see where you'd get into a race condition easily.

I also re-enabled diskinfo in UD on my test server and it looks good. I'll do a bit more testing this weekend and if all is good I'll release an update to UD with the diskinfo enabled.

Saw it and updated. Looks like it fixed it.

Here you go: BACKUPSERVER-preclear.disk-20170705-2053.zip

I updated and this is the log download I get. BACKUPSERVER-preclear.disk-20170705-2039.zip Diagnostics. backupserver-diagnostics-20170705-2040.zip

How do I get you the log if it is empty? Something I need to do to turn it on?

I had this situation happen and tried to get the log, but the log is empty. If it's any help, what is happening is that the serial number is shortened. My disk serial number is: WDC_WD2500AAJS-00VTA0_WD-WMART0840766 And what showed on the plugin UI was: WMART0840766 Could it be a php handling of the '-'?

That is a better answer. UD was originally designed to handle mounting USB drives to copy files form them to the array. It has morphed into mounting unassigned disk drives (for VMs) and mounting remote shares (SMB and NFS) on the LAN. That is as far as I am comfortable taking remote mounting functionality. I am not comfortable dealing with the security issues associated with accessing stuff outside the LAN. I have also been donating my spare time (there is little these days) to do the UD development. @gfjardim is still also actively involved in UD enhancements and improvements. I don't think either one of us has time (or the interest) to devote to an effort like that at this time. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you should look elsewhere (a Docker?) that will do what you want.

Seems to work just fine.

Normally you don't stop the array. It doesn't happen unless the array is stopped.

Worked perfect. Thank you.

The preclear plugin is working better now. Give it a try.

Ok. You won't see it in the docker until you mount it. Look at the UD log and see why it won't mount. Does the smb share require a login user and password?

You have to mount it before it can be seen.

When I stop the array these messages occur every second in my log: Jul 4 08:06:39 BackupServer rc.diskinfo[7231]: PHP Warning: file_put_contents(/var/local/emhttp/smart//dev/sdg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/rc.d/rc.diskinfo on line 483 Jul 4 08:06:40 BackupServer rc.diskinfo[7231]: PHP Warning: file_put_contents(/var/local/emhttp/smart//dev/sdg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/rc.d/rc.diskinfo on line 483 Jul 4 08:06:41 BackupServer rc.diskinfo[7231]: PHP Warning: file_put_contents(/var/local/emhttp/smart//dev/sdg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/rc.d/rc.diskinfo on line 483 Jul 4 08:06:42 BackupServer rc.diskinfo[7231]: PHP Warning: file_put_contents(/var/local/emhttp/smart//dev/sdg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/rc.d/rc.diskinfo on line 483
