September 11, 20232 yr So the drive is mounted... But, it is mounted under the following: When I open the file manager it opens to the machine root and I see the remotes directory with stuff in it: But after I drill down in the user directory and select what to copy, it will only allow me to select destinations below the user level or only my shares. It will not allow me to select any of the directories listed above. It feels to me like the file manager may be misconfigured and will not let me go all the way up to the root of the server. I am running 6.11.5 and plugins are all up to date. Any help would be great... Edited September 11, 20232 yr by mattw
September 11, 20232 yr Community Expert I think that this is a current restriction in FileManager in that it will only allow you to work with physical drives OR User shares - not mix them. Ideally it should allow devices managed by Unassigned Devices be used when working with User Shares but currently does not.
September 11, 20232 yr Author So, is there a different file manager that I can install that will allow this to happen? Trying to avoid the SMB man in the middle, always slows things down. tower-diagnostics-20230911-0834.zip
September 11, 20232 yr Community Expert If you really need a GUI mode file manager then you could try installing the Krusader docker container.
September 11, 20232 yr Go to the UD Web page, click on the mount point of a mounted device and you can browse the UD device with File Manager where you want.

What was wanted was to copy between User Shares and a UD managed drive - did not think this solved that ?

I want to go from a User Share to the UD managed drive. If possible, I would do it via the cli, just a GUI would be more convenient for picking exactly what to move/copy.
September 11, 20232 yr Works for me. I can browse a UD share, click "Parent Directory" to go to the array. Select what to copy, then select the destination which includes mounts at /mnt/remotes/. If you clicked on the remote share mount point, you should see the contents of NAS1_Volume_3. How did you initiate the file manager to get to /mnt/?

How did you initiate the file manager to get to /mnt/? You say "UD Share", I do not have any UD shares... am I missing a way to make the mounted UD drive a share? When I first open file manager, it starts at this location... As soon as I select what I want to copy I am presented with the option to copy to this drop down which only appears to have shares and I can't get back to the location shown above... This is the problem, I do not want to copy to a share, I want to copy to a UD drive destination. It would work perfectly going the other way, from UD to share. Edited September 12, 20232 yr by mattw
September 12, 20232 yr Community Expert Solution As it has been said earlier, that's impossible currently with the Filemanager (from unraid share/disk to ud). Krusader with the mountpoint /mnt works for me perfectly fine as gui. You could also export the UD disk/remote share via SMB and copy that way. Edited September 12, 20232 yr by Mainfrezzer

Changed to /mnt and I can see all of the files now!

You need to be very careful when using Krusader that you do not try to copy or move files between a User Share and an array drive or pool as that can lead to loss of the data involved. The Dynamix File Manager will protect you against this.
September 13, 20232 yr Author Curious, What does it damage? My use case is from a share to a remote SMB share mounted in UD. So I should be ok. Going the other should be fine as well?
