Is my disk info

Where are you seeing the VT-x thing?

September 25, 2019

It should be sata I think... Not USB. I don't think USB is an option for the array.

Did you create the primary vdisk and make it USB?

When I did my install I had the iso of the installer and an 8GB drive created and mounted as USB. Then I created a 100GB img on my cache drives to use as the array.

I'll try to show what I did a little more clearly... I was sitting in a coffe shop passing time when I sent that earlier.

Goals:

I have a 500GB NVMe drive that houses two partitions: My previous Windows 10 install that powered my server before I discovered Unraid, and a second partition that I wanted to use for things that I want to run as fast as possible (ie: Docker, components and VMs).

I made my Windows install usable as both a bare metal installation and inside the VM using SpaceInvaders instructions - Working

Then I copied the domain, system, and appdata folders to the second partition of the NVMe drive and used the Setting Screens for VMS and Docker to assign their new locations on the NVMe drive (Second Partition is actually named NVMe) then deleted the old ones by removing them from the share folder and from the media folder as seen through krusader.

Then I adjusted Krusader as below:

You can see the entries for NVMe and Unassigned Devices.

In Krusader I get:

and UNASSIGNED works as I would expect as well.

Here's where it got weird and I guess I have an idea of why:

Because of the way I created entries for them in Krusader, it created a folder or "something" in the /mnt/user folder.

In "User Shares" in the web UI I have:

I did not create those shares other than by using Krusader.

However, when I look in them on this screen using the view button they are empty... and in Network on my Windows 10 machines they appear empty as well...

I wonder if there is a way to create a symlink or something instead of a folder in that /mnt/user folder that would be more useful.

Thanks for reading... I really haven't a clue what I'm doing. I have 25+ years with windows and about 2 months of linux.

Thanks. Hmm... I wonder... I tinkered around and my Drives mapped in Unassigned Devices showed up in my Shares screen... I wonder if they would work.

I moved my System, Domain, and Appdata folders onto the second partition of my NVMe drive and while playing with mappings in Krusader noticed that UNASSIGNED and NVMe (The names of the shared folders) appeared in my Shares... I don't remmember the UNASSIGNED one being there before.

I don't actually use those shares from other computers so would not having my Windows accounts access them even matter?

OK, More playing after my little guy goes to bed tonight.

Just found those instructions myself and jumped over here hoping to find that the @ symbol have been fixed or was about to be fixed... Guess not. Any hint on where I would look to find the reason the @ symbol is verboten?

My next task will be to use these on two permanently plugged in 8TB USB drives and get them mounted on a schedule and then let the script unmount them.

August 22, 2019

Thanks for the encouragement... I'm new to linux and Unraid, but I'm a long time tinkerer.

My wife needs things to just work, so I had to figure out to make the change from Windows to Unraid seemless.

Well... That was a lot of work for nothing...

Cool

I've used the Script option built right into Unassigned Devices.

I found a script on the support page and then modified it to fit my needs. I want it to backup certain folders to my First 5tb USB drive and others to a Second 5TB drive so I wrote a gereric script and have two versions loaded on with the two drive profiles.

I still have a few tweaks I might do, but this is working so far:

Could it be that the current version of windows refuses to connect to anoymous shares? I had to enable insecure guest access in Group Policy settings:

Computer configuration\administrative templates\network\Lanman Workstation

"Enable insecure guest logons"

https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/4046019/guest-access-in-smb2-disabled-by-default-in-windows-10-and-windows-ser

I did this and was happy with the result.

Just a quick note that there is anther solution to this problem without enabling SMB1. Microsoft has replaced SMB with "Function Discovery" (in a manner of speaking) and there is a daemon / script that enables that for Linux.

I have "Instructions" in the thread here:
