I have a disk that I don't want part of the array but only used by SABNZBD. The disk shows up in Disk Management as /dev/sdl and has the Reiser fs on it. How do I mount this disk in read/write? mount -o rw /dev/sdl mountpoint? Is this correct? Can this disk also be made available as samba share?

Most use a cache drive with share configured as "cache-only" Or you can search for SNAP in User Customizations. I think unmenu has the capability as well.

It isn't as easy as adding some lines to the go-script? So it gets mounted on reboot?

sure, you can put the mount command in the go script...

or, if you are on v5, you can use my drive mount plugin. (see signature or plugin forum)

Hi Benni,

 

I tried your plugin, but encountered problems as described in the plugins thread.

 

I now try to mount the disk in unmenu, but encounter 2 problems:

 

When the server is rebooted, one time it is recognized as dev/sdl the other time as dev/sdk. Is there a way to "lock" it at either sdl or sdk?

 

When the disk is mounted and shared I can see it in my unraid shares but can't access it from my Windows 7 laptop. It asks for a login name and password, so it is probably a permission issue. How do I set the right permission for this disk?

no, this is not possible (and should not be important, too). those "drive names" are given out by linux at boot time and they can change on every boot. if you have a usb drive while you boot, which you normally don't have connected, every drive in your system could have an other drive name.

that's why I use the drives UUID to mount the correct drive with the correct settings.

this is more interesting... the drive should be mounted as public.

the smb sharing in my plugin is pretty new and there are probably some bugs. i'm currently working on the next version, which will hopefully fix it.

i don't currently have a windows system at hand to test the sharing (at my mac, it works fine...), but i'll try to do some tests with a vm soon.

@Benni,

 

The situation I describe here is when The disk is mounted and share in unmenu.

 

I don't use your plugin at the moment cause it kills the unraid Web GUI as I desribed in the plugins thread.

 

I do hope that you get everything sorted, I can certainly use the plugin. I also hope that you include an option to give the share a name.

currently the share will have the same name as the mount name. (if you mount your drive as "apps", the drive will be shared as "apps".
