Thanks! Wasn't a copy&paste from an earlier post, but below is from a "fresh" command line run of the command you suggested.

 

Below is from the new command (with my username manually removed):

 

root@Tower:~# ls -lah /mnt/test
total 0
drwxrwxrwx  3 nobody   users  17 Feb  1 18:35 ./
drwxr-xr-x 21 root     root  420 Feb  1 18:25 ../
drwxrwxrwx  2 <myusername> users  54 Jan 22 07:19 Yet/

And what do you get with this?

ls -lah /

 

And here we go:

Data points, but no clarity.

Same for me.

So, you are saying that my permissions are actually correct?

Any other idea what I can do that the folders of cache devices are included in user shares?

Any more ideas to help troubleshoot my issues. Happy to provide more info about my setup. Thanks!

Thanks again @trurl, @JonathanMand @JorgeB.

 

I am still struggling to get this working. Let me recap my issue and also provide more detailed diagnostic logs and screenshots of my issue.

 

Issue: Folders on my pool device do not shop up as user shares. This leads to issues with some dockers.

 

Screenshot 1: Pool device in main screen. Currently a USB disk (Test), but also tried with internal disks without success

 

Screenshot 2: Folder called "Yet" on this pool device

 

Screenshot 3: User shares with "Yet" not showing up

 

Screenshot 4: Manually added a user share called "Yet", settings below

 

Screenshot 5: Yet user share exists, but no files can be seen (although the device pool test has files in folder yet)

Forgot to attach file

Edit share.cfg on the flash drive, change

shareCacheEnabled="no" to "yes" and reboot

Hooray!!! Thanks a lot. This indeed finally solved my issue 🙂

 

Thanks a lot for your help!

 

Any idea why this wasn't set up properly and anything else I should check whether it is properly set up?

 

Seems I can now do some cleanup that my default locations are set properly. I believe they typically point to user shares? What are the Unraid defaults for the following folders?

 

Docker vdisk location

Default appdata storage location

Libvirt storage location

Default VM storage path

Default ISO storage path

 

Any other docker or VM related default path?

Where is the /user/system and /user/domains set and what is it for?

IIRC it's a bug with v6.9.x, if cache wasn't enable before that release there's no way to enable it in the GUI.

Thanks. Unfortunately, my docker containers don't work. Getting error message "docker AppFolder /config is not writable" in some of the logs. Will send diagnostic log shortly.

I restarted. It seems that not only dockers have been impacted. See attached diagnostic log and dockers logs for the impacted ones:

 

Roonserver

/run.sh: line 39: /app/RoonServer/start.sh: Permission denied

 

Mylar 3

Loads up, but all settings are gone

 

Komga

ERROR 1 --- [ main] o.s.boot.SpringApplication : Application run failed

 

Plex

Allows me to select user, but then displays "no content available"

 

 

Any ideas?

Nothing in the syslog, maybe permission issues with those dockers.

If so, any idea how i can fix such permission issues? Or otherwise “safe” these containers.

It's probably indeed what went wrong. I had ran "new permissions" on my appdata folder, which was probably a mistake.

 

Any idea how I can restore the respective docker permissions for each container? Will this give me my settings back?

Please have a look at below. Example for permissions of my Plex folder:

Any idea what to change and how to address my issue more broadly?

Each docker container will have its own unique requirements around permissions so there is no easy fix.   The only way that is guaranteed to work is to wipe the existing data for the containers and then start them up as though they were freshly installed so they can rebuild their appdata content

Thanks, that's what I was worried about. Would there be any way to keep the settings and database files?

Settings are easy as they are stored on the Unraid flash drive.  If you delete the existing docker.img file so that Unraid creates a new empty one on restarting docker you can then use Apps->Previous Apps and tick of the containers to be reinstalled and they will be put back with their settings intact.

 

the above unfortunately does nothing for any databases the containers created in their appdata folders.

Thanks. So, manually deleting the docker.img would solve part of it. I could try to spot the config.txt or .db files. And then later overwrite them and set the right permissions manually for such files?

Seems I need to learn how to use chown... Can you jumpstart my efforts how to change permission for below? Seems I need to "remove 2 ws" and change userid/users to root/root.

 

-rw-r--r--  1 root     root  360K Apr  6 16:15 database.sqlite
-rw-rw-rw-  1 userid users 777M Apr  5 16:00 database.sqlite3
 

Previous Apps will let you reinstall your containers exactly as you had installed them before, but your problem is appdata permissions. You can start fresh with appdata by simply deleting the broken appdata for each and when the containers are reinstalled it will create new appdata with the correct permissions.

How do you know what owner and permissions are correct? I guess you could install a new separate instance of each container and see how those are done.
