Can anyon give a tutorial on how the plexdrive pluin works?
I installed it, but cannot et it to run.
Thanks!
The plugin places the file "plexdrive" in the /usr/sbin/ folder, so you would just run your command pointing at that.
I just spent like a week hitting my head against a wall so let me know if you want more details on how I got plexdrive working A-Z

Here's the unionfs plugin: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Starbix/unRAID-plugins/master/plugins/unionfs.plg
Oh and does it work for you?
Join the plex discord if you want to, I can help there
Thanks for your plugins got plexdrive all up and running!

Hey I wrote a plexdrive plugin. Here it is: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Starbix/unRAID-plugins/master/plugins/plexdrive.plg
I'm totally new to plugin writing, but I also have a unionfs plugin if anyone else is interested.
Hopefully it works for you guys
Hey Starbix.
I would love your unionfs plugin as well.
Figuring it out is another thing but I would appreciate it for sure.
And thanks for your first plugin! -
A video on setting up plexdrive would be amazing!
Its esentially a way of using rclone without hitting google's API limits.
-
Hey all.
A plugin for plexdrive I think would be awesome, its a twist to rclone that helps to avoid the APi bans.

Well I went at it again tonight, so the first drive to fail is completely dead. Essentially I keep getting the message that there is a hardware problem, alright drive died as expected, it was old.
The second drive, I was able to get going once I started using sdm1, got it mounted, however its only showing 1GB of data,
It is what it is, 99% of what was on that disk wasnt something to worry about, .5% that truly mattered I have in multiple places, and the remaining .5% just kinda sucks.
I honestly dont dont know if I can 100% say anything bad about Unraid, all I know is days after it all happened files were not there, from multiple shares, so that was my logical assumption.
I know everyone said thats impossible but in my mind it all makes sense.
This is not my first drive failure (or kick out rather) and everytime unraid has worked perfectly,Thanks all for your help! I atleast got the answers I wanted.
-
Alright thanks guys,
Sorry ya I definitely skimmed the page, I'll read it in full before trying again tonight.And thanks again for mentioning the partition thing, I guess I assumed (my bad for not reading) that I was simply doing it on the disk not the partition.
Hopefully I didn't make my problem worse, but atleast I can say its because of me and not Unraids product, -

You need to specify the partition, eg:
xfs_repair -nv /dev/sdm1
Gah =/
Thanks!
I'll try again tonight! -
Also just went through the same process with the second disk and received...
root@Tower:/mnt/disks# reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/sdm
reiserfsck 3.6.24Will check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/sdm
and will fix what can be fixed without --rebuild-tree
Will put log info to 'stdout'Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes

Replaying journal:
The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem. If you have
bad blocks, we advise you to get a new hard drive, because once you
get one bad block that the disk drive internals cannot hide from
your sight,the chances of getting more are generally said to become
much higher (precise statistics are unknown to us), and this disk
drive is probably not expensive enough for you to you to risk your
time and data on it. If you don't want to follow that follow that
advice then if you have just a few bad blocks, try writing to the
bad blocks and see if the drive remaps the bad blocks (that means
it takes a block it has in reserve and allocates it for use for
of that block number). If it cannot remap the block, use badblock
option (-B) with reiserfs utils to handle this block correctly.So that disk is pretty black and white.

So is that rebuilt disk still in the computer? If so, have you checked it for filesystem corruption? A rebuild won't fix filesystem corruption, and filesystem corruption won't prevent a successful rebuild. So it seems to me you may still have issues you don't know about.
The disks in question are removed, the parity is rebuilt with replacement drives and working perfectly.
The disks have been placed back into my computer AND another computer and added with unassigned disks plugin but I have been unable to mount them.
As I type this though, with what you said, there is someone additional I can do when I mount into maintenance mode inst there?
A way to skip corruption or something like that?

Sounds like you really, really needed Notifications setup but you hadn't done it. Do you have Notifications setup now?
No sorry, I knew every second of the way, I didnt know for a couple days that there was lost data though.
Drive kicked out - notified.
New drive in and rebuild started
Woke up to notification that new drive was kicked out.
Put next new drive in rebuilt sucessfully
Moved on with my life
~5 days go by and people start asking where stuff is.
Month+ later not trying to figure out what was on those drive (and plan a backup computer)

This doesn't make sense to me, if the rebuild failed removing/unassigning that disk and starting the array would emulate all data on the missing disk, if it doesn't you have other problems.
Also, like Squid already said, if you want help post your diagnostics.
I cant imagine any logs I can provide are going to be of any use.
This happened near the beginning of February, and then was noticed probably about 5 days later when people started asking me where a bunch of stuff went.
Media missing, files from my wifes shares gone etc.
I started diagnosing near the end of Febuary, kinda failed and am giving it another shot now.
Additionally I turned my desktop into an Unraid machine last night, so new cords, no raid card mobo connection only, etc and installed unassigned disks and same results with both disks.My array is fully rebuilt and has been for a month, its just a matter of recovery now.
-

Also the new disk failing during rebuild wouldn't make you lose data, you'd just need to rebuild it again or copy the data from the emulated disk.
Sorry, to be more specific what it did after the second did was it emulated the ~180GB that the parity had recovered.
-
57 minutes ago, Squid said:
Not going to comment on the recovery process, but I will state that actual disk failures are pretty rare, and based upon your description its more likely to be a cabling or power issue. Sans diagnostics though its impossible to tell...
These were my results when trying to mount it with unassigned disks after.
Feb 26 13:47:28 Mount of '/dev/sdq1' failed. Error message: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdq1,

Hey all.
So a while back I had a disk failure, I put a new disk in and parity rebuild started, it was moving really slow and by morning the new disk died as well (second parity disk never kicked in I simply lost the data)
So now I am attempting to recover the data, does anyone think this would be possible?
I was referred here
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1245536&p=7822694#post7822694
But honestly, I'm no less confused, could anyone add some insight.
Thanks!
-
Done,
Same result.
EDIT:
No, I lied! I deleted the container and re-did it and it worked!
thank you soooo much!
-
I will definately do that as well right now.
However; its any container, I've tried linuxserver's; plexinc's; PhAze's; and binhex's
All with the same results.
-
Alright I (hopefully) posted what you've asked for, if not let me know and I will get you the correct thing.
And sorry, where it says "Plex is starting" is when I click Log on the Plex icon.
And sorry, when you mean a "fresh appdata" do you mean creating a completely new share or simply having the docker run off of "/mnt/user/plex2" instead of "/mnt/user/plex"
If its the second option I've probably done it 20+ times already, I've removed the docker.img 3 times, and i've rebooted probably atleast a dozen times.
Thanks
-
Would screenshotting my drive configuration and re-installing unraid be a terrible move?
Just cant seem to get plex going no matter what I do.
-
Hey.
Thanks all.
Yes, I am definitely on board with the idea thats its me. (Now, I definately wasn't when I first got here)
I'm learning towards power myself, its a Corsair 450 Gold (if memory serves) definately didnt have as many harddrives when I bought it but there's currently 14 spinning drives and 2 SSD connected
-
I rebooted my server today and since then this is all I get, no matter the container I use (some change the wording slightly) but essentially its one sentence hundreds of times, never ending.
What the heck can I do to get Plex back?
I've deleted the container and image, I've even removed the entire docker.img.
Please help
Without plex my unraid box is useless.Thanks
-
Yes, I understand that.
It does however give me a short term fix (until I reboot again) otherwise I just have a heavy paperweight.
I was just stating my findings and my guesses on the problem.
I stated I not only re-seeded my SAS card but additionally but it into another slot, all cords were checked and double checked and stated that my power supply "may" be underpowered.
Additionally that both mobo and SAS card drives were dropping off.
-
Hey.
So just re-seeded SAS card, put into a different slot even, checked all wires/cords.
Wrote down all serials of drives connected to the SAS card as well as all of them connected to the mobo.
Currently in my reboot loop trying to get all drives to come back up and everytime they are mobo drives that arent coming up.
Not once has it been a SAS card drive, so being as I have a second slot for another SAS card.....that might just be my easiest solution (really dumb though)
I dunno, I'm also maybe thinking power? Might be time to go to a bigger size.
EDIT:
Spoke too soon, latest reboot contained 2 SAS card drives missing,
Without plex my unraid box is useless.
Plexdrive
in Plugin System

Alright now please take everything I have as a guideline cause I may have set it up all wrong or not in an "optimized way" but hey, it works!
Alright I also did stuff over a period so prob some stuff in stupid ways, I'm also going to assume you have your drives mounted with rclone, additionally I did not encrypt, its esentially the same just point to your encrypted folders.
create a google API key? or whatever its called, google that.
-Created a folder in appdata called "plexdrive"
-created a folder in there called "tmp"
-I copied plexdrive from starbix's plugin into the plexdrive folder, and called it "plexdrive" (additionally could just install it from plexdrive github, this was one of those things that when I started I didnt know)
-chmod -755 /mnt/user/appdata/plexdrive/plexdrive
-create a file in your plexdrive folder called "config.json" and in it put your client ID and secret from google API
{
"clientId": "ID goes here",
"clientSecret": "Client Secret goes here"
}
So you should now have a folder /mnt/user/appdata/plexdrive and inside it should be the file plexdrive and config.json and the folder tmp
then here are my mounting scripts
/mnt/user/appdata/plexdrive/plexdrive -o allow_other -c /mnt/user/appdata/plexdrive -t
and
/mnt/user/appdata/plexdrive/tmp /mnt/disks/plxdrive/ &
That should get you a working plexdrive, mine mounts to /mnt/disks/plxdrive
And here is my rclone mount for my google drive so I can access it outside of plexdrive's read only.
rclone mount --allow-other --allow-non-empty plexdrive:/ /mnt/disks/plexdrive/ &
So at this point you should have a fully working plexdrive (read only) and a read/write google drive
Add these to your SMB
[plexdrive]
path = /mnt/disks/plxdrive
comment =
browseable = yes
# Public
public = yes
writeable = yes
vfs objects =
[plexdriveRW]
path = /mnt/disks/plexdrive
comment =
browseable = yes
# Public
public = yes
writeable = yes
vfs objects =
To easily wrose your folders.
And then (if you wish) your gonna want to make a union mount so that plex will see local and cloud data as the same.
So for me I make a folder:
/mnt/user/Media/Plex/TV (this folder was empty when I started)
I created a new folder in disks
/mnt/disks/plexdriveunion/
And then I merged those 2 and my plxdrive all together
I installed starbix's union plugin but I also went to the nerdpack plugin and installed fuse that way.
unionfs -o cow,allow_other /mnt/user/Media/Plex/=RW:/mnt/disks/plxdrive/Media/Plex/=RO /mnt/disks/plexdriveunion/ &
So now your /mnt/disks/plexdriveunion folder will have some data in it.
Add SMB
[plexdriveunion]
path = /mnt/disks/plexdriveunion
comment =
browseable = yes
# Public
public = yes
writeable = yes
vfs objects =
Your /mnt/user/media/Plex/TV folder will now have a hiiden folder in it.
Point everything, plex, sonarr, etc to /mnt/disks/plexdriveunion and off you go, they will try to write to your local copy and then you simply rclone to the cloud.
I'm personally using
rclone move --transfers 10 --exclude .unionfs/** --min-age 30d /mnt/user/Media/Plex/TV/Adult plexdrive:/Media/Plex/TV/Adult
Sorry this jumps all over the place but hopefully it poitns you in the right direction, feel free to ask follow up questions.
