Sorry to bother you guys with this but google have failed me with this one. I am attempting to get network bridging working in unraid but no matter what i do it just does not want to work. The issue is simply enabling network bridging on eth0 prevents unraid from accessing the internet. The odd thing is it is still connected to the local network and i can still access its web ui it just has no internet access. After trying everything i could think of i gave up and decided to just install a separate nic for bridging. The issue i ran into with that is as soon as i assigned that nic its own static ip (different from eth0) unraid lost all network access and i had to resort to booting in gui mode to disable the second nic and restore access. I am attempting to get bridging working so i can assign a VM a static IP in the local network. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here is one example I know i have seen others but cannot find them now.

Interesting... Everything i have read on this topic says you should never modify content on disk directly as it can cause corruption. I assumed that meant parity related corruption.

I think you misunderstand me. Im talking about deleting a file from disk directly. e.g. deleting a file form /mnt/disk1 Im not talking about deleting a file from a share via something like SMB or /mnt/user/<some share> Deleting anything from disk directly in this way bypasses parity completely which results in invalid parity bits for the modified portion of the drive. I can also confirm this because i have done this in the past. Just yesterday i deleted an empty share folder from a disk that was not assigned to said share then ran a parity check. 7 hours later the check completed and corrected 1 error.

Im pretty sure there is currently no proper way to do this so i guess you can consider this a feature request. Example Scenario: You create a new share and forget to setup disk assignment, or you have an empty share and you want to move it to a different disk. In ether case a new folder will be created on the assigned disk(s) and an empty folder will be left on the previous disk(s) and as far as i can tell there is not proper way to remove these empty folders. The only way i know of to remove this empty folder is to manually delete it from the disk then run a parity check to correct the error that causes. This is far from an ideal solution. It would be nice if unraid had the ability to clean up empty share folders in a way that does not break parity. If there is already way to do this then i apologies but i could not find anything related to this on the forum or google.
