    there is indeed. 

    root@PiBox:/# ls /mnt/
dietpi_userdata  ftp_client  LongTerm  samba  secondary  store_path

    there is also a /var/lib/rancher 

    root@PiBox:/# ls /var/lib/rancher
cross-seed-config  downloads  lost+found  qbit-config  qbit-manage-config  watchstate

     

    I would remove and readd the remote shares and verify that UD can see the server (Search For Servers) and the NFS share (Load Shares).  Use the server name UD finds and don't enter the IP address.

    Not sure I follow you?

    Yes the share is enabled in the settings of the mount

    And root access is possible from a windows PC, some other place?

     

    This means the rootshare can be mounted and should be available to mount on an Unraid server.

     

    Some more things to try:

    • Try a simpler password on the administrator account.  Letters and numbers only.
    • You have multiple IP addresses listed in the testparm output.  This is where Samba is listening: 
    interfaces = 192.168.0.6 192.XXX.XXX.6 127.0.0.1 100.XXX.XXX.115 fd7a:115c:a1e0::27a:ae73
    • Is the server visible on one of these interfaces?  You have tailscale installed.  Confirm it is set up properly.
    • Can you see the individual shares and can those be mounted?
    • You have a huge amount of plugins installed.  One may be interferring.  Boot your server in safe mode and try mounting the root share.

    You said you could map the rootshare in Unraid?

    But the rootshare path is never listed in UAD only all the normal shares?

     

    I can confirm that UAD will list all the individual shares one by one, but what eludes me is the rootshare mapping between servers inside Unraid, that isnt listed as a option for a mapping shared!

    • UAD will never list the root access share will it?
    • I have created a separate user (administrator) for every shared folder, like you suggested, but I dont know how to enable this new user access to the rootshare mapping? (Some command in a terminal?)  

    Again thanks so much for helping out having two servers is allot of work when you cant move things more easy between them 🙂

    Did you turn on the share switch for the rootshare in device settings?  It won't be shared unless you turn it on.

    Do I need the full path?
    //192.168.0.14/mnt/rootshare/Shares-Pools

    No, that is not your problem.

    I get error when trying to mount the share

    image.png.20980c47b83542dcb3fb39b4b772533a.png

    Possible reasons for this error could include:

    1. Incorrect credentials (username/password) provided for accessing the CIFS share.
    2. Insufficient permissions to access the CIFS share from the system where the error occurred.
    3. Network connectivity issues preventing access to the CIFS share.
    4. Misconfiguration of the mount command or options used for mounting the CIFS share.

    I don't think 2 or 3 apply because UD shows the remote share as being online and available.  4 is not an issue.

     

    That leaves 1 - credentials.  Several things to look for:

    • Use UD to search the server and select the correct server from the drop down.  Don't enter the IP address.
    • Let UD search for the remote server shares after entering the credentials in UD.  If UD does not list the shares, the credentials are an issue,
    • Watch out for special characters.  They can cause php issues.
    • Choose the share from the drop down.  Don't enter it.
    • You can't use the 'root' user credentials.
    • You are probably overthinking this issue.  Let UD work out the details for you.  Let it find the server and the share for you and use what it finds.

    Just question. I'm mounting an SMB share from my Windows VM (the files are on Dropbox which are only accessible from within the VM). The file are for use in a docker container. Everything works really well so far. I have automount set up and if I reboot the VM it seems to mount on its own again just fine.

     

    I'm wondering if this will still work when I reboot the server. Obviously the VM will take a minute or two to start up. With automount selected will my SMB share properly mount once the VM is up and running on a fresh boot of Unraid? I'm just trying to look for any points of failure as so far this seems to be working really well for my use case.

    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.

    Had this start happening after I was transferring data off of my Unraid server onto my TrueNAS server to change out the Unraid FS setup. It was coupled with some RAM errors at the same time that the server had not had before. I'm transferring over NFS.

    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.

    Thanks so much!

    I'm replacing all of my very old 3 and 4 TB drives with new higher density 12 TB drives so I have to break parity to do the transfer. My goal was to add the two precleared drives and start moving data and when the third one finishes it'll be my parity disk.

    I have redundant backups of everything so I'm not worried about data loss.

    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.

    It looks like the SAMBA shares are still working on the drives that were previously shared, but MOST of the assigned drives did not show on the MAIN tab of unraid.  only two initially showed up.  Each time I press the REFRESH DISKS AND CONFIGURATION icon, it adds ONE drive to the list...  I am now seeing 7 of the 10 drives not in the array.  MOST of them were precleared and ready to add to the array when needed.  3 were being used as unprotected temporary data drives for misc. uses.

    Post diagnostics for further help with this.

    Also, previously under FS it listed precleared drives as being precleared.  Has that functionality been deliberately removed?  it was pretty convenient for hot spares.

    That status is lost once the server is rebooted because it is in RAM, but the drives are still precleared.

    I have a preclear going on 3 drives, they are nearly done but one is about 2 hours being the others. If I stop my array to add the two completed drives will that break the preclear that has yet to finish?

    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.

    But trying to mount a SMB rootshare between the Unraid servers does NOT work?

    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.
