stevejjd Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Hi, is there some way we can search for files on Unraid? Quote Link to comment
MrGrey Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Many ways. What files? MrGrey. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 There is nothing built into the Unraid GUI. As was mentioned what type of search are you wanting to do as this is likely to affect any recommendation of the best way to do it. Quote Link to comment
dboonthego Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 @itimpi - Is unRAIDFindDuplicate_v1.5.zip the most recent version of your script? I was reading this thread the other day and this post reminded me I need to go back and download it. Quote Link to comment

Yes it has not been updated in a very long time as there seemed little point unless I was going to put the effort into trying to convert it into a plugin with a GUI front-end. A point to note is that it only looks at main array drives - does not include pools (which I guess could be done as an enhancement if there was demand for it). Having said that I have not validated that it still runs fine on the 6.12 releases but it should as far as I know. Quote Link to comment

Thanks. Do you happen to know if @Joe L.'s script is still available somewhere? The link in that thread is broken and I'm interested his too. Quote Link to comment

The link in that thread is broken and I'm interested his too. Not that I know of. I would suspect that there are problems running it on recent Unraid releases. The UD version is probably now the best preclear version to use and at least it is actively maintained. If you really need the Joe L version I may have a copy somewhere in my archives that I could PM to you. Quote Link to comment

I was referring to his binary checksum duplicate files script. (Didn't mean to take over this guy's thread, but maybe the info will help him.) Quote Link to comment

I don't even remember such an option from him Note that my script can optionally do binary compares as well (albeit much slower than simple name compares). Quote Link to comment

stevejjd Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share Posted September 28, 2023 Sorry for my late reply. I just mean, is there a way to look at all the files on disk and also a search function through a GUI Quote Link to comment

There's no native search capability in the GUI. I'm sure there's a docker out there that can catalog your files. 1 Quote Link to comment
