[Unassigned Devices - Managing Disk Drives and Remote Shares Outside of The Unraid Array]

What do you mean by a "common script"?

 

Here?

 

This script is executed for all drives plugged in.

 

Each drive has its own script here:

 

This is the script that runs once for each drive.

 

Thats the one i was using. I wanted to avoid assigning a script to every individual drive (Theres quite a few usb drives and i dont have them all at once to preset).

 

I guess if thats the case i can maintain a flat file database to determine what was just plugged in and run the routine only on that one.

I have common script so that when users plug in their USB drive it copies the files from a specific folder to the array.

The usb gets automounted, backed up and then unmounted.

 

I have set up a usb hub so that multiple usb drives can be plugged in at once.

 

The script works fine however the issue i am having is when a second usb gets plugged in the common script gets executed again on the first usb which causes it to backup twice.

 

I though the common script gets called once for the device that gets plugged in and not on all plugged in devices? Is this intended? Is there a workaround so it only runs once on the drive?

 

There are many of these backup drives so i would like to do it from a common script if possible but cant have it run multiple times on each plugin. 

 

 

Just to add for clarity i start my script with the following.

case $ACTION in
  'ADD' )

    if [ -d $MOUNTPOINT ]
    then
