mifronte Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Now that I have my server running on unRAID V6.0.1, one issue that does not seem to work is mounting and sharing a non-assigned device. In V5.0.5 I would have these commands in my go script: mkdir -p /mnt/ext_disk1 mount -rw -o noatime,nodiratime -t reiserfs /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD15EARS-00_WD-WCAYY0239185-part1 /mnt/ext_disk1 hdparm -S 242 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD15EARS-00_WD-WCAYY0239185 I would also have the share defined in smb-extra.conf file as follows: [Public] path = /mnt/ext_disk1 comment = Public Share browseable = yes read only = no guest ok = yes writeable = yes create mask = 0666 directory mask = 0777 force user = nobody force group = users However, on V6.0.1, when I access the share I don't see any of my files. I look at /mnt/ext_disk1 and the uid and gid is 0 and not 99/100 if that matters. Note: I am not fluent in Linux, but is comfortable with CLI. Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 You could use the Unassigned Devices plugin and then this would all be handled for you. Link to comment

Are plugins the recommended way to extend unRAID? I have to read up in plugins vs Dockers. I still don't know the difference between the two and which would be the preferred way. Link to comment

I have to read up in plugins vs Dockers. I still don't know the difference between the two and which would be the preferred way. For running applications, dockers (or VMs) are definitely the preferred way IMO. However, certain things like Unassigned Devices, Powerdown, Community Applications only make sense as plugins. Running an application (PlexMedia Server, CrashPlan, etc) as a plugin imposes risks due to dependencies, conflicts with the underlying OS, etc. Docker applications are sandboxed and don't affect the operation of unRaid OS. IE: if a docker app has an issue and crashes, it crashes the docker app. If a plugin app has a problem and crashes, it could crash your entire system. Link to comment
mifronte Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Just installed the Unassigned Devices plugin. Very slick, however, for my needs, it is too much dependency to worry about when it comes to upgrading. I managed to correct my mount command. It turned out unRAID V6 changes the namings in the /dev/disk/by-id. Link to comment
