I am currently experiencing an issue with the "Permit exclusive shares" option in Unraid. I understand from the documentation that if this option is set to Yes, share directories under /mnt/user are actually symlinks to the share directory on a storage volume provided the following conditions are met:

 

• The Primary storage for a share is set to a pool.
• The Secondary storage for a share is set to none.
• The share exists on a single volume.
• The share is not exported over NFS.

The advantage of exclusive shares is that transfers bypass the FUSE layer which may significantly increase I/O performance.

 

I have several shared folders that fully meet these requirements. The primary storage for these shares is set to a swift pool, the secondary storage is set to none, they exist only on a single swift storage, and they are not shared over NFS.

 

The documentation suggests that once these options are properly configured, a small arrow symbol should appear to indicate that transfers are bypassing the FUSE layer. However, I am not seeing this symbol in my swift pool, although it does appear in my cache pool.

 

My swift pool is made up of two SSDs in a ZFS mirror configuration, while my cache is a single SSD formatted in BTRFS.

 

I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions you can provide on this issue. Thank you in advance for your help.

Please post the diagnostics.

Sorry, I found the reason. I found the appdata folder in Array Devices. I deleted it and that solved it.
