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

Hi I upgraded from 6.8.3 to 6.9.1 then upgraded all my plugins to latest version. Now when I use unassigned devices, my USB drives will not unmount. The log shows that the unmount is taking place but the device is never actually unmounted. UD also still reports the device is mounted. Subsequent clicks of the unmount button result in error in log. UD just refreshes back and still displays the unmount button.

 

Syslog

1. Attaching USB hub with flash drive. (Mar 10 00:22:37)

2. Mounting partition (Mar 10 00:23:58)

2. Copying files.

3. Clicking unmount on unassigned devices. (Mar 10 00:28:49)

4. Clicking it again ~20 minutes later. (Mar 10 00:47:40)

mount 

root@Tower:~# mount
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/disks/Flash type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)

 

umount

root@Tower:~# umount /mnt/disks/Flash/
umount: /mnt/disks/Flash: not mounted.

 

 

lsof returns blank - nothing open in that mount path

 

I have tried everything I can think of.

Different Flash drives

With/without a USB hub

Different ports

Different formats

Waiting several hours (in case cached data was still being written)

Rebooting (if unmount was pressed, the will system now hang unless USB drive physically removed)

 

It also worth mentioning at this when it is stuck unmounting I cannot stop the array. Unraid gets hung at the filesystem sync step waiting.

I have not found a command successful in force this drive to be ejected so I have resorted to manually unplugging it which then allows unraid to resume with stopping the array.

 

Any ideas what's going on. Thanks.

 

[VPN docker FOR VM network]

I have a docker container named "pia" from docker image qmcgaw/private-internet-access. This works great and i would like to use it as my master PIA VPN connection.

As of 6.8.2 6.8.3, To use this as network in other containers i simply run "docker network create container:pia" and select "custom:container:pia" from the network dropdown. This is working well for me.

 

My question is how can make a VM take advantage of this pia docker container too? Is there an equivalent " --net=container:pia" option i can set to the VM/network config? 

 

I have already tried using Tinyproxy and ShadowSocks that are built into the pia container and connected to them with a W10 VM. It worked and had good throughput, but there were some things it did that didn't give me a strong trust windows was sending everything over the proxy. 

 

For this reason, direct (transparent) connection is a must. I don't want to use software installed on the VM OS or set the OS to use a proxy where either of them may leak. I want the VM's OS to see it as a standard VM NIC where all traffic will get tunneled to the pia docker container and out to the PIA servers. 

 

I'm thinking this would have to be done with the use of VLANs but i'm not 100% sure if needed or possible. Before i dive into this further I figured i better stop and ask. 

Anyone know how? Thanks!
