Need Help - SHFS broken?

Featured Replies

  • Community Expert
Hi,
I don't know why, but after a reboot, all my VMs and Docker containers have suddenly disappeared. Most of my shares aren't showing up either.
Unraid reported issues unmounting user directories during shutdown, but by that point, there was nothing I could do about it.
The data is all still there, but it doesn't seem to be merging correctly, so I suspect SHFS issues. I’ve encountered this problem before;
I set everything up from scratch, only to run into the same error again shortly after.
It seems to be related to the cache, as I can see some folders but not others. If I manually delete the `appdata` and `system` folders and reboot, it works again,
but then all the Docker containers are gone (shares works). :(

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this properly and prevent it from happening in the future?

Found the Error: In the GO script, i try to mount a path, that was to quick. Just wait a moment, otherwise it will block shfs.

Use the Unassigned Devices plugin to mount remote shares instead of doing it manually, then that'll ensure things are done at the right time.

I use it to mount a smb share from a VM (HomeAssistent) to a docker (Claude) for easy access.

Another option is user scripts plugin, with script scheduled at array start. Nothing should be mounted within /mnt until after the array is started.

There's something creating /mnt/user/appdata before the array is started; this is not supported; /mnt/user is reserved.
