April 1, 201511 yr Hi Thanks for the response. I actually installed the ntfs-3g driver plugin right after I installed snap since it was on the snap site and recommended i thought why not. It seemed to install with no errors (screen shot of plugins installed attached) that I could tell so I didn't think that was the problem but is there another way that I might diagnose what the issue might be? Thanks!
April 1, 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. Post the results of lsblk

April 1, 201511 yr I am trying to SNAP sdf. I did not notice in the output about the partitions but now that you mention it it does have two partitions. I guess its a windows thing as I had it attached to a windows machine and formatted it there. So does having two partitions pose a problem for SNAP?
April 1, 201511 yr ok, its a bit clearer now. So this little "hidden" partition, could very well be the first partition, and it is some sort of windows funkiness. So would it be reasonable to delete that small partition and try to reSNAP it?
April 2, 201511 yr Author ok, its a bit clearer now. So this little "hidden" partition, could very well be the first partition, and it is some sort of windows funkiness. So would it be reasonable to delete that small partition and try to reSNAP it? Yes depending on what you will be using the disk for. I believe it is necessary for a bootable Windows disk and might cause a problem if trying to boot that disk.
April 2, 201511 yr Strangely enough I never used the disk for booting so I am not sure why win partitioned it like that but so it goes. I will give it a try as booting is a non-issue. Thanks!
April 2, 201511 yr 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... Good catch : You were using Windows 7 with a 3TB drive. If you did not reformat the drive to GPT partitioning to allow Window 7 to use a drive >2tb. Windows 7 will automatically format as MBR and treat the drive as <2 tb and you will get 2 partitions.
April 3, 201511 yr Well it occured to me that I had another drive that I could check out so i did, no funky extra partitions, just one clean large partition (this is device sdf again) so i hooked that up via sata and... nada. back to where I was earlier. I'm attaching a shot of what SNAP is telling me. and below the output from lsblk. Any thoughts really welcome as I am stuck again.

April 21, 201511 yr After reading this thread, is it true that snap doesn't automount previously mounted disks after unRAID boots?
May 16, 201511 yr Author There is a plugin here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38635.0 that has the functionality of SNAP and integrates better with unRAID V6. I recommend that you convert to that plugin. I will maintain SNAP as my time allows, but I won't make any enhancements.

I recommend that you convert to that plugin. I will maintain SNAP as my time allows, but I won't make any enhancements. I will migrate to the new plugin as that seems to be the way things are going, but let me just say a big THANK YOU! SNAP is one of the most useful and essential Unraid plugins that I can remember and your efforts over the years are much appreciated.
