December 2, 20232 yr Hello! I am brand-spankin' new to unraid and looking to expedite the file transfer process from source disks into Unraid shares. I saw elsewhere on the forum that a plugin "Unassigned Devices" + a KDE file manager would allow me to plugin install an existing source disk (with data) and perform a file transfer, within Unraid OS, to a destination share. I'm looking to do this to use SATA > SATA transfer over mobo instead of over network (limited to 1gbs) (assuming this is possible) I'm not sure how to install plugins? I tried installing "Unassigned devices" using the "https://github.com/dlandon/unassigned.devices/blob/master/unassigned.devices.plg" file in the "plugins" tab, but I'm getting an error: I also enabled the "apps" tab, and I see it as available there, but don't see an option to "install" from the apps tab. Any help much appreciated! Edited December 2, 20232 yr by Unraidnoob2000
December 2, 20232 yr Community Expert Install Community Applications plugin, then use it to install any other plugins or dockers. (Click the Apps link at the top or bottom of this forum page.) 7 minutes ago, Unraidnoob2000 said: enabled the "apps" tab If you already have CA installed, then it should be very easy to search for Unassigned Devices. Use Dynamix File Manager plugin to manage files on the server, including Unassigned Devices.
December 2, 20232 yr Author @trurl - I have community apps installed, and when I search for "Unassigned Devices" this is what I see:
December 2, 20232 yr Community Expert Unassigned Devices is the one you want. Also, you can click on the Support Forum button on any of those to go directly to their support thread and find out more about them.
December 2, 20232 yr Author Yes, but how do I "install" it? There's no option available? Only "Pending" Also - thanks so much for the quick replies.
December 2, 20232 yr Author Solution Okay, I think I figured it out (somehow) I stopped the array and rebooted the server, now I have the "install" options available for "unassigned devices"
December 2, 20232 yr Author Wow - it's so much faster transferring files locally instead of over the network. Dynamix is great, btw. Thanks for the tip and assistance!
