Hi.  I have removed all my drives, to be placed in another nas.  I plugged in a single usb, so I can start Array. Formatted it.  I have unassigned disk, with VM on it.  I want to enable VM. VM Manager says /mnt/user/domains/ does not exist.  But how could it?  I can't create the share.  If not mistaken, even if share doesn't exist, so as long as /mnt/user exist, it will automatically create domains share.  But it doesn't.  How can I fix this?

Enable user shares: Settings -> Global Share Settings

Mine was enabled, but when I turned off disk shares, and started array again, it all worked!  Thanks @JorgeB

 

Edit:  I spoke too soon.  I was able to add shares domain, and iso.  I went to create my vm, but pointing it to my existing VM in unassigned disk.  Upon starting, I was given this message:

 

cannot sync file '/etc/libvirt/qemu/Windows 10.xml.new': Input/output error

 

Then I checked the shares I created earlier, it is no longer there.  Going to VM Manager in Settings shows path doesn't exist once again for /mnt/user/domains or /mnt/user/iso

Sep 29 23:09:10 Tower acpid: input device has been disconnected, fd 5

The flash drive assigned as disk1 is disconnecting or being passed through to a VM, and the docker image is there.

What can I do to fix it?  I don't have docker enabled.

First make sure it's not being passed to the VM, easy to check if the errors start after starting the VM, if it's not that try a different USB port, 2.0 preferred, or use a SATA device.

You were right.  I was ticking the USB to passthrough mindlessly. Thank you for pointing that out.  Everything's ok now.
