No, it only tries once.

It should, but start up can present some timing issues based on the order things starting. You might have to delay the starting of the VM to be sure the UD remnote share has had enough time to mount.

That sounds like USB issues - cables and connectors. You will see "Reboot" if the device is removed without being unmounted properly, or if the USB drive drops ofline.

No, but looking into it.

You have the cache dirs plugin installed. Be sure you set it to include only the shares you want it to operate on. If you don't set up include shares, it will cache all shares including UD and cause issues like this.

It works, I can do it. Post diagnostics.

If you reboot the server, that paused status gets lost, but you can still resume a preclear from where it left off on a particular disk.

Post diagnostics for further help with this. That status is lost once the server is rebooted because it is in RAM, but the drives are still precleared.

If you stop the array, UD will pause preclear on the drives being precleared and they can be continued once the array is restarted. Click on the play arrow on the UD Preclear GUI page and the paused preclears will restart.

Please answer this question previously asked. Can you ping the Unraid server when connected to WiFi or LAN and the mount fails?

What is your mount command on the laptop? What does the laptop log show after attempting a mount?

I think I understand what you are trying to accomplish here. It looks like a credentials issue. You can't use the "root" credentials. You should set up a user with priveledges to read and write all of your shares on PLXEZONE2. I have one set as what I call an "Administrator". You will know this works when you go to set up the share on PLEXZONE and the shares are listed when you click the "Load Shares" button using your "Administrator" credentials. If the shares are not listed, your credentials are wrong.

I want you to try a SMB Extras setting and see if it helps with the permissions issue. Add the fiollowing line: force user = nobody in the SMB Extras on the Settings->SMB page. This should force all users on SMB shares to be treated as 'nobody' for both reads and writes.

Give me some time to review this post.

It works for me. Post your diagnostics so I can see your setup.

Hiding dot files is controlled by the Settings->SMB setting. It applies to all SMB shares - Unraid and UD shares.

The log will show a deleted file right away, but it can take up to 5 minutes to show in the Recycle Bin shares tab.

Only files deleted through SMB (network shares) are recycled. Files deleted using the File Manager, Krusader (or similar), or cli commands do NOT get recycled.

@cloudyhome Nice writeup! One suggestion. Don't use the 'devX' designation from the 'Disk Name' field. UD defaults this to the 'devX' designation Unraid assigns to unassigned disks and it can change. Assign a unique name to the 'Disk Name' field as an alias and use that in your script.

USB is not generally robust enough to do reliable preclears.

Use UD Preclear plugin. It has a disk erase mode.

Did you intend to report this as a UD issue?

Ok, it seems a change was made in Unraid 6.13 to address an issue with saving script files after a UD change. It has been fixed in 6.13, but 6.11 and 6.12 will have an issue. I will update UD once I come up with a way to make a proper fix.

You need to unmount the disk in UD and mark it as passed through so UD will prevent any operations while the VM is using the disk.

That can't be used as a file name because it is a folder. The name you want is '/boot/config/plugins/unassigned.devices/some file name'.
