File present within /mnt

Featured Replies

My "Fix Common Problems" plugin is giving me the following error: "File default_users.cfg present within /mnt". This has been persistent through reboots.

How do I determine if this file is important? How do I delete it?

Thanks!

That file should not be there as only Unraid should put things under /mnt.

For it to be persistent across reboots then you have something recreating it each time. Most likely a docker container configured with a volume mapping to /mnt which should not be there or should be mapped to something else.

I only have 5 dockers installed. Plex, Tautulli, Syncthing, Audiobookshelf and Unraid Cloudflare Tunnel. I have looked at the template for each and none have any mappings to just /mnt. Is there any way to figure out where this file is coming from?

My bet is Syncthing , Data1, Data2 mapping is wrong , should be /mnt/user/appdata/syncthing

Data1 and Data2 are the directories I am passing through to syncthing... I don't want my directories to be in appdata, I want them to be on a dedicated share on the array.

Is this not correct? Maybe I am misunderstanding something about Syncthing.

Either way, these mappings are not on the root /mnt.

Those mappings should not ever create anything directly under /mnt. Just a thought - have you made sure that the Advanced toggle at the top right of the Docker page in case that shows anything extra?

If not a docker container then it must therefore be something else but no way to tell from diagnostics. Other possibilities would include a User Script or something in the config/go file.

Does this occur if you boot in Safe Mode? If not then that would indicate a plugin is the issue.

Have you tried looking at the contents of that file to see if you can work out which app they belong to?

I figured it out.

I initially wasn't sure how to access just /mnt as I didn't see it in the "Main" tab. Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob. I figured out how, though, and opened the file and was immediately able to tell it was the plugin "VM Backup". I never actually set this plugin up, but the default storage for its backups is /mnt. Seems like a pretty poor default.

This was definitely something I should have been able to figure out myself. Thanks!
