April 9, 20224 yr I have 2 unRAID servers. One locally and one remote. I use Wireguard between the two and Unassigned Devices to create a mount point from my local to remote server. I started getting read errors on a disk at the remote location so I powered it off so someone local could look at a few things for me. Shortly after the power off, I lost WebUI access to my local unRAID. Everything else worked, SSH, dockers, shares, etc. In looking at my syslog, there were repeated attempts to connect to my remote mount point. As soon as I had the remote unRAID powered on, my WebUI access was restored. This all leads to a few questions/thoughts/comments. I love Unassigned Devices, but is there a better way? The reason I say this is that I also have mount points from unraid to my Synology. If I power off my Synology before I unmount the shares, my unraid server fails to stop the array until the Synology is back online. (I recently tested this as I had a planned power outage and was shutting things down beforehand.) OK. I guess I really only had one question. Is there a better method to creating remote mounts that when the remote/external server(s) is offline my local unraid continues to run normally. My Synology mounts are for Plex backups and a music share. My remote unRAID mount is to push backups offsite via a rsync script. I would prefer to have full local functionality if either my remote server or Syno were off.
