I THINK what I'm asking for here is a command line to put in a script file to first mount a drive that is visible in unassigned devices, and then after the rest of the script runs, unmount the drive before it ends.

 

The situation:

I have an external simple NAS (Synology) that is a complete backup of my unRAID data.  There is a user script that is intended to run maybe twice a month to execute a set of rclone commands to complete the backup.  The NAS is usually asleep, the script file will wake the NAS fine but unless I manually mount the drive the rclone actions just error out.  Once I mount the drive the script runs fine.

Then I've noticed twice now, after the script completes over the next few days my log file is filling up with thousands of the same error line (sample below).   What I think is happening, is the NAS is going back to sleep and the drive is still mounted so it starts generating errors.

 

The only flaw I can't explain in this logic, is that even after manually umounting the drive the errors continue to generate until I reboot the server to stop them, and then all is quiet again.  

 

Unless you see something else in this error message, I'm looking for two command lines for the user script.  One to mount the drive after it wakes, and one to unmount the drive after the rclone commands run.

 

EDIT:

In the below excerpt there is what might be the unmount command line that came from me clicking the unmount button.  Would this work inside the user script file:  

• Unmount cmd: /sbin/umount -t cifs -l '/mnt/remotes/UNRAID_BU_BACKUP' 2>&1

If so then is the Mount command the excact same? 

• Mount cmd: /sbin/mount -t cifs -l '/mnt/remotes/UNRAID_BU_BACKUP' 2>&1

 

 EDIT 2:  I tried the above and it didn't work.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you click on the help icon while on the Unassigned Devices tab you will get all possible commands. Let UD mount/unmount. It knows exactly how to mount/unmount on Unraid:

 

 

E.g.: I use these commands from within User Scripts to mount/unmount an external SMB resource:

 

#!/bin/bash
#backgroundOnly=true
#clearLog=true

/usr/local/sbin/rc.unassigned mount //192.168.178.101/disk1

###

/usr/local/sbin/rc.unassigned umount //192.168.178.101/disk1

Thanks  this is a big help, didn't know that list was there.

 

I see you did it by IP address, but my SMB share is mounted by name.

Which of these is correct?  They are in order of what I think is most likely correct, but just checking.

 

/usr/local/sbin/rc.unassigned mount //UNRAID_BU/BACKUP

or

/usr/local/sbin/rc.unassigned mount /mnt/remotes/UNRAID_BU_BACKUP

or

/usr/local/sbin/rc.unassigned mount //192.168.XX.XX/backup   (I don't have anything mounted by IP on UNRAID, just the NAS Name.  The IP is how I would find it on a windows machine)

According to the help text for SMB/NFS, you mount the source name it has within UD. So in that case its  //UNRAID_BU/BACKUP.
