workermaster Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Hi all, Like the title says, I have suddenly got a new share that I did not create. I can't seem to delete it either. My server has been down for a few days and today, I transfered it to my new hardware. I also decided to have an Unraid machine and a separete gaming rig. After booting up the new Unraid machine and making sure that the virtual machines and Dockers were working, I went to the shares tab and saw this: At the bottom there is a new share called "unRaidLars". I did not create that one and do not know why it is there. Here is more share info: I set the share to export so I could delete the data in there from my gaming rig and then delete the share, but there are 2 folders on that share. One is called "Download" and in there is another folder called "k". I can delete the "k" folder, but it comes back after a while. I can only rename the "Download" folder, not delete it. So the share keeps containing data. I also tried deleting the folders with the Krusader app, but the "Download" folder just can't be deleted. Could anyone help me figure out why this share is there and why I can't delete it? Edited December 22, 2021 by workermaster Solved it Quote Link to comment
workermaster Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Just made the post and now figured it out. I needed to run the Docker Safe New Params option. Turned out the the "k" folder was not deleted but Windows just showed it gone. After running the Docker command (why is it called Docker Safe New Params if this had nothing to do with Docker), I could delete it and the share is gone. Still don't know why the share was even there. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 2 hours ago, workermaster said: why is it called Docker Safe New Params if this had nothing to do with Docker Because it explicitly excludes the appdata share, so it is "docker safe" Running the stock New Perms against all disks or all shares will trash the appdata since apps may have their own unique permission requirements Quote Link to comment

You had mentioned you solved it, but I did not see an explanation of what it was or where it came from. Google is not being helpful on this. Could you elaborate on your findings, specifically, how did the share get created and what is it for? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Typically this is caused by a host path specified by one of your dockers. Any path at the top level of any disk or pool is automatically a user share. Quote Link to comment
Petenun Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Thank you for that. That makes sense that a Docker container could have created that without my knowledge. I'll have to dig deeper into the Dockers I have installed. Quote Link to comment
