I have a Blu-ray drive that I occasionally used for backing up home videos and reading old CDs. I used it with an external adapter for my desktop for a while, and now that I have an Unraid server, I would rather it sit in there for easier use. But I do use it to very occasionally play old CD-ROM games. I'm aware I could possibly just rip the game and find some no cd crack for it, but not every game in my collection supports that easily it seems.

 

I think Windows has a feature like this, so I'm curious to see if Unraid does. I couldn't find anything of that sort in the community or documentation.

I just tried it with my dvd, I don't have bluray.  I created a share called dvd and made sure SMB was enabled.  That creates a dir /mnt/user/dvd that you can use for a mountpoint.  I then did:

 

mount /dev/dvd /mnt/user/dvd

 

I can now access that dvd from other computers. 

 

The problem now is that once smb actually shares that, it won't let go and I can't unmount it.  Not sure how to solve this.

 

And now my logs are filling with this over and over:

 

Aug 23 08:59:39 Tower emhttpd: error: share_luks_status, 5995: Operation not supported (95): getxattr: /mnt/user/dvd

 

I wouldn't try that.  I tried restarting emhttpd to see if it would get rid of that error and it stopped the array.  Not sure what all I broke heh.
