Doesnt work. I have attached an image of the view of the drive I am trying to delete as well as an image of the script message.

So I have tried that and it doesn't work. The folder is created on the drive but the script reports "Checked 5 drives, did not find an empty drive ready and marked for clearing". I followed this step "One quick way to clean a drive is reformat it! To format an array drive, you stop the array and then on the Main page click on the link for the drive and change the file system type to something different than it currently is, then restart the array. You will then be presented with an option to format it. Formatting a drive removes all of its data, and the parity drive is updated accordingly, so the data cannot be easily recovered." as per the Shrink Array guide. However after I format the drive there is a folder called "Parent Directory". It appears regardless of the FS I select. At the moment, the drive has two folders, "Parent Directory" and "clear-me". Is there a way to format the drive without the "Parent Directory" folder from being created?

I am following the Shrink Array guide (https://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Shrink_array) Step 7 says "Create a single folder on the drive with the name clear-me - exactly 7 lowercase letters and one hyphen". How do I do that?

Is there are a way to alter the threshold for HDD temp notifications? I live in Australia where the temp is consistently 30-35 degrees Celsius. I am getting hundreds of messages a day indicating my drives are 41 - 45 degrees. According to Seagate this is within their drives operating range. Id prefer not to turn the message off if possible so a solution to adjust the reporting threshold would be good.

The install instructions are there. Look again. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=53365.0 Yes I had that link. I had no CAs though. After I took my array offline and rebooted the Apps menu appeared on the toolbar.

Ok. I found the rclone plugin thread on the forum but it talks about what to do AFTER installing the plugin. Where is the actual plugin located so that I can install it?

Hello, When I try this step of the installation: #Download rclone and unzip wget http://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-386.zip -O //boot/rclone/install/rclone-current-linux-386.zip unzip /boot/rclone/install/rclone-current-linux-386.zip I receive the message: -bash: /usr/bin/unzip: cannot execute binary file Any ideas as to the problem? I have followed all the preceding steps with successful results.

The drives I am considering removing have 33.8MB on them. When I view the disk from the GUI it tells me there is a folder called "Parent Directory" with 0 objects, directories and files. I presume the 33.8MB is unRAID config information. Reading the wiki for Shrinking the array I think I follow the the "Clear Drive Then Remove Drive" method?

I have a 6 drive config, 1 parity and 5 storage drives, however given the cheapness of drives these days I am considering reducing my system to 1 parity and 4 storage drives. How would I go about this?

Hello there. There is no; Services > VPN > Servers > *Your VPN Server*, I am presuming you mean; VPN > OpenVPN > Servers > *Your VPN Server*. If so there is also no section called "IPv4 Local network(s)". My LAN DNS server is listed correctly. What version of pfSense are you on? I pulled that from my 2.3.2 box, and correct about the Services bit... The "IPv4 Local Network(s)" is under "Tunnel Settings" Version 2.3.2-Release-p1 There is no 'VPN' menu under services. See picture. People on PFSense forums are telling me that since I can get a VPN connection and can ping local IP addresses that PFSense is working correctly. They are saying that not being able to access my shares is a problem with unRaid.

I have deleted the VPN server/client a number of times and set it back up however, I still have the same problem; unable to access SMB shares over the VPN. I also cannot see any computers on the network either. I don't know what you mean by adding my unRaid system to Windows hosts either. I will try and set up an Ubuntu VM tonight and see if I can connect that way. If it works then I will know that it is a Windows problem.

Well I thought I was browsing across subnets. My LAN is 10.1.1.1/255.255.0.0 and my VPN Tunnel network is 172.22.203.0/24. The peps on the PFSense forums were saying that I am trying to browse across subnets. To be honest I am not really concerned with getting my config to work, I just want any config to work!! I am the only one using the system, I just want to be able to access network shares when I am not at home. I am surprised that know one knows how to get it to work. can't you access the share via \\server.ip\sharename ? No I cannot. I get a Windows Security popup on my laptop asking me to enter my credentials for 10.1.1.40 (my unRaid box). Beneath the password field appears in red text 'Access is denied', that's even before I put my password in. If I put my password in and hit enter it just shows the same message. I am presuming there is a setting somewhere on unRaid that is blocking access to the shares from a VPN connection. I can ping the UnRaid box fine, same with the Router.

How many video cards do you have in your box?

Ok. I am using OpenVPN to my connection. The OpenVPN server is on PFSense at home and my travelling laptop of using the OpenVPN client. I don't know what Sophos is, presuming a VPN server/client setup. I have a Firewall rule setup on my PFsense box allowing all OpenVPN traffic to pass. I am presuming it is working as I can ping local IP addresses over the VPN. I am not sure what else I need to do to actually map SMB shares. I don't have 'WINS server enable' set to provide WINS server list to clients. If I enable it it asks for a WINS Server. I don't know if I have one and if I do where I get that information from.

I don't know what you mean sorry. My IPv4 tunnel network is set to 172.22.203.0/24. DNS Server is set to my local LAN DNS (10.1.1.1) Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled. Node type set to 'b-node' (broadcasts) I have not enabled 'Provide a WINS server list to clients' as I don't know what to enter into the WINS Server 1 field. I don't have any custom options set, I don't know what to enter here either.

Yes it is. Enable samba is set to 'Yes(workgroup)'. Workgroup setting Local Master is set to 'Yes'. I can ping all the local clients from my VPN client by IP Address but not by name.

How do you get UnRaid to act as a WINS server? Its quite ironic, one of the reasons I came to unRaid was that people said it was easy to configure. Getting shares accessible over the VPN connection has been an ongoing problem for 10 months now and I am no closer to having it work that I was before I started.

I had similar, my LAN was 10.1.1.X and my tunnel network was 10.1.2.x, however people on the PFSense forums said that this was a bad idea. That the tunnel network needed to be significantly different.

How do you do this? I have been asking for months how to access LAN resources on a client connected via a VPN. I have my VPN running fine except it cannot access network resources. I can ping IP addresses on my local network. My VPN connections are set up on a different tunnel network, that's what people on the PFSense forums said had to occur. I cannot seem to find any settings that will allow me to access my unRaid shares over a VPN. How are you doing? What did you do to get it to work?

After I VPN into my router I can connect fine however when I type enter my unRaid IP address (\\10.1.1.40) into File explorer I get a Windows security popup asking for my network credentials. However in red is written "Access is denied". I am presuming this is something at the unRaid end of the connection. As previously mentioned people on the PFSense forums indicated this may be an issue with network discovery across subnets. My home LAN subnet is 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0 My VPN tunnel network is 172.22.203.0/24 My network shares are on 10.1.1.40 How do I make my unRaid shares on 10.1.1.40 accessible to my VPN clients on 172.22.203.0?

Anyway, where would I find information about being able to access my unRaid shares with my VPN clients?

lol..sorry..your correct 6.1.9..lol..was reading it on my phone...that was the servers IP...lol Always good to get ahead with these things!!

Hello all. I have been trying to setup access to my network resources, shares and printers, when I am running VPN connection. I have been posting on the PFSense forums, I am using OpenVPN on PFSense, and have been told that it is isnt a OpenVPN or PFSense issue. I have been told that it is a Windows problem related to network discovery across subnets. I am after some advice about where I should be looking for information about being able to access my resources whilst VPNd. I am running Unraid Ver 10.1.1.40. How do I make resources, shares particularly, available to the client I am connecting via a VPN?
