May 9, 20242 yr I have been using the Unassigned Devices plugin for about a year, mounting Synology shared folders on the local network via SMB, and everything was working fine. However, recently, I have been frequently facing issues where specific files or folders cannot be found. For example, in the "M" folder, I clearly added a "tv" folder and an "A" file, but through Unassigned Devices in unRAID, I cannot see this "tv" folder and "A" file. However, when I created a "C" folder in the same "M" folder, strangely, I could see the "tv" folder through Unassigned Devices in unRAID. Is this a bug with Unassigned Devices or is it an issue with my usage? I'm looking forward to someone helping me resolve this. During this period, in an attempt to solve the problem, I also tried restarting the Synology server and the unRAID host, reinstalled the Unassigned Devices plugin, but the issue persists.

After the upgrade, I encountered an issue where I couldn't mount two shared folders via SMB. The 'Mount' button is grayed out, indicating that the remote server is offline (as shown in the screenshot). However, I'm certain that my Synology NAS shared folders are online. I've tried restarting Unraid, uninstalling and reinstalling Unassigned Disks, deleting the mounts and setting them up again, but nothing worked. I still can't mount the Synology folders via SMB. Is there something wrong with my settings?

The attached zip file, exported as per your instructions, has caused trouble for you. I apologize for the inconvenience. Another situation is that I successfully mounted Windows shared folders using UD, but encountered issues when mounting Synology shared folders. I'm certain that my Synology settings haven't changed. I also tried mounting Synology shared folders via SMB using Windows, and everything worked fine. It's just that mounting Synology folders via UD isn't working. ud_diagnostics-20240511-162705.zip Edited May 11, 20242 yr by jndhui
May 11, 20242 yr I don't see any remote shares defined. Have you gone through the process of adding the remote shares with UD? If you add them with UD and they don't show as being online, you'll need to use the DATASTATION IP address. instead of the name Be sure it is a static IP.

Sorry, I found that the remote share I mounted wasn't working, so I deleted it. This might be the reason why you didn't see it in the logs. Following your advice, I used the IP address instead of the name found by the 'SEARCH FOR SERVERS' button to define the Synology server, and surprisingly, it worked. Below is a screenshot. Could you please tell me the reason? Is there a bug in the UD plugin when using names? The corresponding screenshot and log are attached. ud_diagnostics-20240511-173517.zip Edited May 11, 20242 yr by jndhui
May 11, 20242 yr Go to a command line and give me the output of these comands: /usr/bin/timeout 1 bash -c '(echo >/dev/tcp/DATASTATION/445) &>/dev/null'; echo $? and /usr/bin/timeout 1 bash -c '(echo >/dev/tcp/DATASTATION.LOCAL/445) &>/dev/null'; echo $? UD has been changed and now relies on a local DNS server for name resolution.

UD has been changed and now relies on a local DNS server for name resolution. No wonder I can't find the Synology server by its name. I don't have a local DNS server. But, except for enterprises, few individuals or home users use a local DNS server, right? How can I display shares by name without adding a local DNS server? All my PLEX server media libraries are set up based on names. Changing to IP addresses would require re-scanning, which is a significant undertaking. Edited May 11, 20242 yr by jndhui
May 11, 20242 yr Unraid uses avahi (nDNS) to look up names and if the DAASTATION doesn't use mDNS, Unraid will probably not be able to look it up by name. This is only a situation in UD and shouldn't affect anything else in your system. I'm trying to find a way to get around this issue if I can. Give me the output of this command: arp -a DATASTATION.LOCAL

May 11, 20242 yr Unzip the attached file and copy it to: cp get_ud_stats /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/unassigned.devices/scripts/ and see if the name works and your shares show up as online. get_ud_stats.zip

I updated UD and found that I can now modify the names of the shared folders I'm mounting. So I made some changes, and now PLEX can recognize them correctly by their names. The problem is perfectly solved now. Thank you! Edited May 13, 20242 yr by jndhui
