JoeMB Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Every so often I can't remount my virtual disk (vhdx file) after I restart my Windows VM because it says it's in use. Only restarting unraid makes it so I can mount the virtual disk again. Is there any way to make the file not in use anymore without restarting all of unraid? Quote Link to comment
dAigo Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I choose to use the Plugin "Open Files" to do the job. Find the entry that locks the .vhdx file and you are fine. cleanest way would be to disconnect the disk through windows before you reboot, but you are probably as lazy as I am ;-) Quote Link to comment
steve1977 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Any other idea how to solve this issue? I have a permanently mapped VHDX and frequently reboot my Windows VM. I hope there is some more convenient way to fix this? Quote Link to comment
steve1977 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Any thoughts on above? This seems to be a bug in Unraid? Quote Link to comment
Soulflyzz Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Sorry to resurrect this thread, But was there ever a solution to this. i am having the same issue. Quote Link to comment
jonmurphy1618 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 This post came up when I was searching for a solution so I'll post how I solved it. In unraid terminal, use the 'fuser' command on the vhdx file you want to stop. This will return the process ID that's using the file. Then in terminal use 'kill ####' with the process ID #.
