After some more tinkering around I'm wondering if it's somehow related to a DNS issue. Any thoughts?

I should probably just start everything from scratch and see what happens.

Me either especially since the desktop has nothing to do with my media or xbmc any longer.

192.168.2.4 is a desktop and 192.168.2.2 is my raspberry pi with openelec.

I just pulled the last mysql_safe log file. This is a bit different from what I was seeing before.

Ping was successful. 3 packets transmitted and 3 received.

No password protection for any of my shares. They are open smb shares

Ha. Mostly because I couldn't even get the headless docker to write to the database either. 1) My ip for unraid is 192.168.2.25. It's a static ip. 2) I used the commands I used are as follows: docker exec -it MariaDB bash Then I used mysql -u root (since theres no root password for the docker) This gives me an error for TERM so I then use 'export TERM=xterm' (This allows me to issue the commands) CREATE USER 'xbmc' IDENTIFIED BY 'xbmc'; and I hit return (I'm still on Gotham, so I'm sticking with xbmc,xbmc for now) GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'xbmc'; and I hit return Then I exit with \q. 3) I don't have any other containers using the mariadb container. I wish I did so I would know if its a prob with openelec and not docker or vice versa, but yeah. I'd love a walkthrough if it's not too much trouble. Like I mentioned before I had a shared mysql database working on a windows machine, but moving to docker has been a no go so far for me.

Thanks bungee. I have been strictly using notepad++ for this sort of thing for years now. I will modify and try your advanced settings file and post back with an update. It's probably something small that I'm missing (hopefully). Thanks for your help!

I have already tried mysql workbench and heidisql as well. They both show the user xbmc and the proper permissions and the music and video databases are getting created, but the databases are empty. I've tried nuking the container and creating a new one, as well as nuking the container and image and starting from scratch multiple times. Still no luck.

I've attached a screenshot of my mariadb docker config page. I've tried this mapping to both "/mnt/cache/Apps/mariadb/" and also "/mnt/user/Apps/mariadb/" with no luck. I've also tried changing from bridge to host mode with no luck either. Here's my advancedsettings.xml as well: <advancedsettings> <videodatabase> <type>mysql</type> <host>192.168.2.25</host> <port>3306</port> <user>xbmc</user> <pass>xbmc</pass> </videodatabase> <musicdatabase> <type>mysql</type> <host>192.168.2.25</host> <port>3306</port> <user>xbmc</user> <pass>xbmc</pass> </musicdatabase> <videolibrary> <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate> <importresumepoint>true</importresumepoint> <backgroundupdate>true</backgroundupdate> <updateonstartup>true</updateonstartup> </videolibrary> </advancedsettings>

Can anyone give me a suggestion about what might be going on? I can post logs when I get home if necessary.

I have tried to get this working for a shared database setup for xbmc/kodi, but I cannot get xbmc to connect I'm using needos Maria docker and I add the user and permissions with docker exec and have verified the xbmc user exists and has all pemissions, but still no connection to the database. Logs for xbmc show either cannot connect error with decending database numbers or that number of connections exceeded by xbmc. My advanced settings file is the standard setup as well for a shared library. I had mysql working previously on my desktop before this but using docker has thrown me for a loop. Any ideas or suggestions?

That type of usage is what I was going for. I think I need some more testing to determine if it could possibly be bad sata cables or ports. Is there anything you would suggest I try to test the board ports or recommend a particular order of connecting the hot swap bays to the on board Sata ports besides what I've already tried?

What you're saying about hot swapping when the array is stopped or swapping drives that aren't part of the array is exactly what I'm speaking of. I wouldn't try to hot swap anything when the array is started. That being said, I should be able to take parity or disk 1 and take it from bay 3 and put it in bay 6 and it still register as being present instead of missing. Naturally I'm not going to be mixing up the order of my drives like that, but I should still be able to have the functionality to do so. I guess I'm more concerned with having to put a new drive in, in the future and it not showing up so I can add it to the array if I already have all bays filled but one or if I'm trying to rebuild a drive from parity and the new drive doesn't register. So if it's a mobo problem I can use a different mobo but if it's just a thing with unraid I'll deal with it.

I was thinking I read that it did for some reason somewhere in the documentation. At any rate, hot swap does work with the array stopped on some bays, buy I'm running into problems with 10 ports connected between 2 different controllers. One of which is an asmedia 1061 apparently which there seems to have been some problems with pcie sat cards with this controller from what I gather. Trying to see if this is related to my problem.

I'm currently having an issue with hot swapping my hard drives and wanted to get some advice. My mobo is an asrock z97 extreme9. The case I'm using is a rosewill rsv-l4412 that has 12 hot swap bays. I should be able to put my drives in any bay and be able to see them, but when testing this, after changing bays, some would report the disk missing. I tested the hot swap modules 4 at a time with 4 good cables connected to the Intel sata controller and had no problems. The hot swap bays are not faulty. I tested the same way only using the asmedia sata controller and had no apparent problems. The only thing I can think of is that using both controllers at the same time is causing problems with the drives mounting. Since unraid boots from the usb, I assumed that I could connect the sata ports in any order. I tried to research the problem to see if anyone was running into the same thing but have come up empty. Can anyone give me an idea of what's going on?
