Thanks. You are describing exactly what is not happening in my case. If I add a top-level folder (e.g., MOVIES), it automactically becomes a user share. This works flawless for all top-level folders on my array. However, this does not work for my pool device (device name: Test). This device has a top-level folder named "Test". However, this top-level folder is not added as user share automatically. I have sent my diagnostic log above and can also add more screenshots if helpful? If I read @itimpicorrectly, I may need to manually add it?

Got it. Do I understand that array devices and poll devices work quite differently. All folders on the array are automatically added as user shares. For folders on the array, I will need to manually add them by going to "shares -> add share"?

Thanks, here we go tower-diagnostics-20211205-2201.zip

@trurl, any thoughts or any additional info I can provide. This issue is really bogging me.

Super cool, thanks!

Thanks a lot. WIll look into it. Unfortunately, update to Monterrey "bricked" my VM. I tried to switch back to VNC to understand what's going on, but this also doesn't work (guest has not initiated the screen yet). I remember the latter error was easily fixable through some change in the XML (and a bug when switching back from passthrough to VNC). I couldn't find though what I had to change in the XML. Anyone remember?

Here we go, pleas see screenshots below. Thanks

My issue is still unsolved. No idea what I am doing wrong here (if it is my mistake rather than a bug). I add a pool device. I create a folder on the pool device (e.g., appdata, test, frank). This folder on the pool device does not show up under user shares. No matter what I do, it just does not show up under user shares in Unraid,. If I create a folder on an array disk, it always shows up.

Array has been on USB for a while. It works flawless. I've seen the warnings about it, but it seems to do well in my use case. I am currently using a USB pool, but that's just for troubleshooting. The original errors were all when using a NMVE disk. So, this should not be the root cause of my issue?

Thanks. I guess all of them? Most importantly would probably be appdata and system as these are set for dockers per default to use a user share?

You’re right, the configurator. Should i uninstall it? I thought i used the configurator before for some of the checks you suggest above? That no longer works? Can you share a bit more how to do the steps you suggest above? don’t think i’ve ever used any of these tools. Thanks for your help!

Thanks. I am running the upgrade now. Will keep you posted how it goes. I hadn't used the VM for a while. Noticed two things: 1) Facetime and iMessenger no longer work. Cannot log in. Both used to work some while ago. What can I do to get them working again? 2) Opencore suggests that I do an update. Should I do this?

Any more ideas? This bug is really troubling me. Any idea how to make pool devices part of my user shares?

Anyone tried to update from Big Sur to Monterrey? Anything to keep in mind? GPU passthrough still working?

Sorry to follow up, but really love to get this solved. Any more insights after me deleting the cfg files and the updated diagnostic file?

Same question from me. Hope this won't be the end of the docker?

Just deleted the cfg files and also untoggled and toggled on user shares. Still not showing up. Attached an updated diagnostic log. Any additional thoughts? tower-diagnostics-20211018-2130.zip

It may be the easiest way to delete cfg files. I understand that my diagnostic file is not as good to read for you as it is bloated with all dated cfg files. Let me fix this and send a new diagnostic file.

What you mean by "if the top level folder relating to that share exists on a pool"? I only tried with one pool device (called test). The folder called "appdata" only exists on this pool device. Let me try to toggle on and off. It is really odd that it doesn't work. Shall I delete all cfg files from the flash disk. Will it remap existing user shares from the array upon restart? Thanks again. Would really love to get this working. It's a huge benefit to have pool devices being user shares.

Any thoughts on above? I removed both cache & pool devices. And re-added a new one. Tried different disks and also different names. But under no circumstances, the folders from the pool device show up as user share. You sure it is feasible and any idea what I can do to further troubleshoot?

See below from global sharing setting. Cache / pool disk doesn't show up in the list. Are you sure that cache/pool disks can be part of user shares?

Maybe one interesting observation that can help point to the issue. When I select a usershare (e.g., Movies) and go to the settings. I can select a drop-down menu called "included disks". This allows me to select/unselect all disks that are part of the array. It does not allow me to select the cache disk. Are you sure that folders on the cache disk can be included in a user share?

Same issue with files on cache drive not showing up under user share. tower-diagnostics-20211016-0249.zip

I jo longer have pool, but the disk is allocated to cache. Still same issue (screenshot above). Any idea of a “fix” that i can get my docker back. Unraid is broken for me now

Yes, it points to cache, but shows pool in the overview. If you check one of my earlier posts with screenshots, there was the same inconsistency. Setting is XXX, but overview says YYY. Maybe a bug?
