December 28, 201510 yr So im testing out unRaid and really enjoying it. My main server is Windows Server were all my media is stored and im going keep this while build this new unraid server. But i have PMS on unRaid. HOW can i access my windows shares on PMS. I have tried mounting cifs share to my windows server and then on docker map the locations, but PMS still doesnt see it. I guess i need to mount the windows share within PMS.
December 28, 201510 yr Community Expert ... I guess i need to mount the windows share within PMS. Unassigned Devices plugin will help you mount SMB shares.

(You *can* use unassigned devices to mount the shares, but I've found that if docker starts up before UD has mounted the shares then they are unavailable -> hence why I've manually entered in the mount command in the "go" file before emhttp loads -> never a problem that way)
December 28, 201510 yr Author Thanks people done the following, Shutdown docker, install Unassigned Devices plugin, connect to share, start docker, then map locations in docker plex. Works great!

December 29, 201510 yr Add your mount commands to /boot/config/go. It'll get executed before unasssigned devices (which will wait for the array to become active)
October 3, 20169 yr Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I am trying to do the same thing but not having any joy? I have run the unnassiged devices plugin and chose browse workgroup & selected my server, entered my username and password for the windows server (tried all 3) but when I click load shares nothing comes up? I can access the Windows shares from other PC's so I know that side of things is working... https://1drv.ms/i/s!AjnJhtmhYMJlg-Q0eiosMgq3EMVKGQ Also what are the mount commands I should be using in the go file? Many Thanks in Advance!

Many Thanks in Advance! Did you tell Windows to actually Share the Folder (with those users)? But, here's the command lines to do the same thing. But if Windows isn't set to share the folder, it'll fail also. mkdir -p /mnt/disks/GitHub mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/GitHub /mnt/disks/GitHub -o username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777
October 4, 20169 yr hmmmm Had this problem last time I attempted this :-( root@UNRAIDSERVER:/mnt/disks/gen8drivepool# mount -t cifs //192.168.0.8/gen8drivepool /mnt/disks/gen8drivepool -o username=unraid,password=password,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 mount error(121): Remote I/O error Refer to the mount.cifs( manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) I have shared the windows drive to the user unraid and the password as password

Might want to google the mount man page
October 4, 20169 yr Many thanks for your help mate, the fix for that error 121 is here for anyone interested! All up & running now :-) http://winhlp.com/node/40?page=4&cs=1043&cl=1#comment-537
