Bagpuss Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hi All, This is probably a very simply question to answer, but I've not found it through searching the wiki or the forums. I've recently upgraded from 5.0b7 to 5.0b11 (and I'll probably move to b12 later). Since doing this, I've found a /mnt/user0 mount point has sprung up, which seems to behave exactly like /mnt/user. e.g. drwxrwx--- 1 nobody users 480 2011-08-29 09:25 user/ drwxrwx--- 1 nobody users 128 2011-08-29 09:25 user0/ Can anybody tell me why this new mount point has been created? Is it required? Can I get rid of it? I've not changed anything in my configuration between releases, so I'm a but puzzled. Thanks, Andy. Link to comment
BRiT Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 It comes from LimeTech. It is the view of the system without files on the cache drive. It was mentioned in the release notes or original posts on the release of the firmware(s). Link to comment
S80_UK Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Can anybody tell me why this new mount point has been created? Is it required? Can I get rid of it? It is created by unRAID - as BRiT says, it gives a view of your system excluding the cache drive (if you have one). It is required - you should not get rid of it. Link to comment
Bagpuss Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks for the replies. I've checked out the release notes here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=UnRAID_Server_Version_5.0-beta_Release_Notes and there's definitely no mention of this user0 mount point. Now that I know what it's for, I definitely wouldn't try to remove it. It's actually a really useful thing to have. Andy. Link to comment
S80_UK Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Actually it was introduced with the cache mechanism in 4.3 beta 4 ( rather a long time ago...) http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=1731.0 Link to comment
lionelhutz Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 It wasn't the upgrade. You must have added a cache drive at the same time. Peter Link to comment
Bagpuss Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Nope. Cache drive has been there since I built the system. Never saw the user0 mount point until I did the upgrade. Just one of those things, I guess. Link to comment

It's mentioned in the original posts on one of the upgrades between the version you were on and the one you upgraded to. Link to comment
