February 20, 201511 yr Sorted it, just added the drive to an empty array, reset the array, job jobbed. That would work if you don't mind invalidating parity. I'm rebuilding my unRAID, so there's no data on it. Next question - how do I share the whole drive in SNAP? I set a share, but that only creates and shares a folder. I want access to the whole drive through the network, same as I can with the unRAID drives. Any ideas how/if I can achieve that?

When I use SNAP it creates a mount point for the drive and shares that. What makes you think it is creating a folder? dlandon beat me to it.
February 20, 201511 yr The shares folder is the whole drive. Sorry, I don't understand. On my SNAP drive (/disk) I have: appdata/ downloads/ docker.img I can't see the drive in Network Places (or whatever it's called this week) on my Windows box. If I put in a share in SNAP it creates a new folder on the drive with the share's name, that appears in Network. I want the whole drive to appear as "disk" (or some other name) in Network Places. What should I be putting the Share Name column in the SNAP control panel to make the whole drive appear? Edit: This is an internal SATA drive I'm trying to share in it's entirety. It's not a USB drive. It's formatted in xfs.

It's not a USB drive. It's formatted in xfs. The share name you set in SNAP is the name of the drive in Network Places and should have any folders underneath the share name. Be sure the name you assign does not have any blanks. If you name the SNAP share 'snapdisk', then you should see snapdisk in Network Places and the folders when you click on the 'snapdisk' folder. What is (/disk)? Are you using the latest version of SNAP? You can share an XFS disk connected to SATA. I have an XFS formatted daily backup connected to SATA in my system that I am using with SNAP. Start with the basic step of getting the disk to share. Double click on the drive in SNAP and assign a name. Don't use the name 'disk'. The drive will show up in the network places with this name. Right click on the drive in the SNAP webgui and select mount and share. Just mounting will not share the drive on Network Places. If you cannot get it to share, look at the logs and see what SNAP is having a problem with. The logs are tabs on the SNAP webgui. The relevant log will be "Snap.log". You need to click on the Watch button to see the log. Show me the log if it says there is a problem and I can help you further.
February 20, 201511 yr Got it working. I've no idea what was going on, I think I was just being a retard. I rebooted and everything worked.
February 26, 201511 yr I have problem with SNAP (ver: 6.05) and unRAID 6.0-beta12. I am using 250 GB HDD for torrents. When I start downloading and data size reaches 4GB, I get error "no space left on device". When I check size of "downloads" (SNAP's share name) over Ubuntu explorer I get "Total capacity: 4.0 GB". HDD is formatted in XFS. Under Main > Unassigned Devices HDD is listed and it's size is 250 GB. Even if I manually copy data to "downloads" I get error that "There is not enough data on the destination". One more thing, under Settings > SNAP I can't "UnMount" or "Spinn Down" HDD. I can only choose "Refresh Status" and "Delete Share Name".

The unassigned device size is probably the total capacity of the drive and not the formatted size. How did you format the drive? It is SATA HDD. 1st I formatted it via unRAID - add new disk to array and formatted it to XFS and then removed it from array (and with that destroy my parity (idiot me ) and add to SNAP. Today I put it to another PC and booted Hiren's Boot USB and formatted it to XFS. I got 1 partition, size 250 GB, but problem persist.
February 26, 201511 yr Author I have a SATA 1TB disk formatted with XFS I use for backups and don't have any problems. It was formatted in unraid. Is there an issue with your BIOS disk settings limiting the disk in some way?
February 27, 201511 yr I cant seem to get this working on 6.0-beta12 I can see the plugin in the SETTINGS tab, so it looks like its installed. http://prntscr.com/6adbv8 When I go in terminal to /boot/config/plugins/snap I can run the script I have tried 2x usb 3.0 enclosures with 2x different 1tb drives, single partition, NTFS When I run -listAvailableDevices the drives do not come up When I look in the plugin settings (in the GUI) there are no available drives listed I also grabbed a USB 2.0 enclosure, thinking it might be the 3.0 enclosures that were causing the issue. I have rebooted each time I insert a device. They just dont seem to register. snap.sh -listDeviceConfigurationInfo unRAID=No SNAP=No 18452 /dev/sr0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GH24NS90_KPJBCJK2904 unRAID=Yes SNAP=No 17416 /dev/sde /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST2000DM001-9YN164_W1E0HDR7 unRAID=Yes SNAP=No 17373 /dev/sdd /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST2000DM001-9YN164_Z2400E27 unRAID=Yes SNAP=No 17363 /dev/sdc /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VB0250EAVER_W2A64006 unRAID=Yes SNAP=No 11174 /dev/sdb /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Corsair_Voyager_Mini_3.0_070848822B1C1603-0:0 What am I doing wrong?
February 27, 201511 yr I got mine working. I formatted HDD again (using XFS and msdos partition table) and re-install SNAP. I have new question. How can I limit access to "downloads" share, so I and system (Transmission/Deluge) can access it and nobody else? Current setup: ls -al /mnt/disk/downloads total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 Feb 26 18:30 ./ drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 80 Feb 27 11:47 ../ Owner is root and I can't write to this share and Transmission is giving me error "Permission denied".
February 27, 201511 yr I have a spare 2tb drive that i'm looking to use for tvheadend , what i am wondering is can i use snap to mount it and can it then be passed somehow to a KVM based VM on my unraid b14b box ?

Can't KVM mount shares directly in Linux? I think I remember seeing you have a TBS card, if you can't get it working with TV Headend then can recommend Argus TV on windows, records directly to network share.

It's not the most intuitive to setup but I do find it rock solid and I've been using it for years back when it was called For The Record. I'd happily give TvHeadEnd a shot, because it's much easier to manage, tried Myth in a VM but that left me very confused and not sure I ever got the driver issues sorted. If you decide to give Argus a go then let me know and I'll give you a a hand if you need it.
March 1, 201511 yr Another way to possibly force the update is to do the following:- Uninstall SNAP.- Delete the /flash/config/plugins/snap.sh file.- Re-install snap plugin.The plugin will detect that this file is missing and force snap to re-install.I'd check the flash drive first to be sure it is not corrupted. This worked (I did pull the flash drive first and run a scan on it, rebooted and followed the above steps. Thank you!

There have been some subtle changes in the beta cycle (webpage structure and php updates) that have broken SNAP along the way and also highlighted some SNAP bugs. I have done all I can to keep up. Unfortunately there are issues with updating the older versions of SNAP on the newer versions of unraid v6 betas.
March 8, 201511 yr Really great plugin, thanks for your work dlandon. Just one thing, are you looking at including exFAT support in the future at all?
March 8, 201511 yr Author Really great plugin, thanks for your work dlandon. Just one thing, are you looking at including exFAT support in the future at all? I don't like supporting any format the unraid does not natively support. Driver issues.
March 9, 201511 yr My SNAP doesnt see 4TB drive. Currently running unRAID 6.0-beta14b with SNAP 2015.03.02 and NTFS-3G 2015.02.22. I can plug in 2TB internal and external (USB) drives and they show up as ntfs for mounting, but the 4TB shows up as No FS. The drive if formated NTFS full size in windows 7 and mounts and stores files in windows fine. fdisk on the unraid server reports the following: Disk /dev/sdd: 4000.8 GB, 4000787030016 bytes 256 heads, 63 sectors/track, 484501 cylinders, total 7814037168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x9aac41e5 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdd1 1 4294967295 2147483647+ ee GPT Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary. Can anyone assist? I have this in an IcyDock tray and the plan is to move that tray between internal most of the time to an external icy dock enclosure when I hit the road. Will not be part of the array, I will have a script that will copy appropriate files from array to this drive when it is in the bay. File system requirement is that I need to be able to access the files on the drive from Windows and OSX read only at least. Thoughts?
March 10, 201511 yr I was able to figure out the problem. It didnt like the partitions with how it was set up in windows. So I ended up doing the following from my unraid box. gdisk /dev/sdd - in here I deleted all the partitions. then I created a new partition 1 with type 0700 (microsoft basic data) and the rest defaults. w to then write the table and exist mkfs.ntfs -f -L EXTERNAL /dev/sdd1 - then I did this command to make it an NTFS partition After this, SNAP was able to recognize the file system and mount it. I am now able to write files to it, eject it, and see it in windows as I wanted.
March 30, 201511 yr Ok, I originally posted wondering why SNAP wasnt giving me the option to mount the drive I had attached but it seems that a share name had to be specified (not obvious to me at the time but in retrospect is should have been i guess). New problem though. I tried mounting the drive and it did not seem to mount it (found the directory in /mnt/disk/directory but the directory was empty), I wasn't able to unmount it either and ended up taking the array offline, rebooting, then trying the mount and share option, still nada (nothing under shares). Under snap's status column M, S, and D are all green but B is purple telling me that "Drive is busy, a file or directory is opened" which is a puzzler to me as the drive *seems* completely inaccessible? Later I tried rebooting again and Under snap's status column S and D are green and M and B are greyed out and when I right click on it the menu shows refresh, delete share name, mount only, spin down, and eject as available, the other options are greyed out until I select mount only which puts me back at all being green and drive is busy status... If it helps the drive is 3tb and was formatted with NTFS using win7 and is attached via SATA. Any help or ideas on how to resolve this would really be appreciated...
March 31, 201511 yr Any thoughts? I've hit a wall with this in terms of tinkering with options and reading threads. I might have missed something but I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
April 1, 201511 yr Author Try installing the ntfs-3G driver plugin. I thought I saw someone post that the read only ntfs driver built into unraid has a drive size limitation.
