Accessing user shares from within a VM...

[opentoe]

I had an Ubuntu VM that I didn't run for a while so I started it up. It was using the Ethernet as a bridge mode. I connected fine to it, so I logged off, shut it down and went to the VM area to change some template settings. The memory was set at 1024GB I believe so I increased that to 2046GB and added a couple of cores to be at 4. I hit apply, started the VM and for some reason my entire network went down. I couldn't even access my router. Could not reach the unRaid server as well. Couldn't even ping the Unraid box. Everything was offline. I really wanted to get to a log, but couldn't access anything. So I had no choice but to power cycle the server from the box. Soon as that happened, network came back up and everything came online again. First time something like this happened. Since I did create that VM on another system I'm going to remove it and reinstall. It was just a basic Ubuntu desktop. Could this problem be I created the VM on another system and replaced hardware and then tried to change it on the new system and make changes to it?

 

Right now I'm trying to reinstall using the same settings as before.

 

EDIT: Maybe we can move this to the VM area? Sorry. Here is my docker build. I have a mount for my user shares but when I'm logged into the VM I don't see them. I should be able to see 'unraidshares' from within the VM, right?

Checked out the HELP button on the unRaid Webgui and went to the link there. Seeing shares in the MNT folder, but clearing up a little timing issue on a reboot. So far so good.
