August 13, 20187 yr I've noticed that absolutely nothing is in my /MNT folder. My disks arent mounting there(they wont show up anywhere but as a share on a network computer, but not in my own server). I wanted to find the recycling bin but that also inst in mnt. Literally nothing is in mnt. Am I missing something?
August 13, 20187 yr You are using /mnt aren't you? Linux is case sensitive, the fact they show up on a network computer suggests you're looking in the wrong place rather than them being missing.

August 13, 20187 yr Just now, sittingmongoose said: I'm looking in /mnt. Then post some diagnostics. Also post the output of ls-la /mnt and you could also run tree -L 2 /mnt/ In your initial post you said "/MNT"
August 13, 20187 yr Author xeonserverv5-diagnostics-20180813-1854.zip So it shows when I use tree -L 2 /mnt/ but there is nothing when i use cloud commander or krusader to look there. /mnt/ ├── disk1 │ ├── Media │ ├── appdata │ ├── domains │ ├── isos │ └── system ├── disk2 │ └── Media ├── disk3 │ └── Media ├── disk4 │ ├── Downloads │ ├── Media │ └── appdata ├── disk5 ├── disk6 ├── disks │ └── MTD3SEA └── user ├── Downloads ├── Media ├── appdata ├── domains ├── isos └── system 25 directories, 0 files

Essentially you're looking in the wrong place, but without a docker run command, nobody can tell you where you should be looking. Support threads can be found in community applications or by clicking the link displayed when you click the docker icon in the Unraid webui. Docker run command can be found by looking at the docker FAQ or by the link in my signature (you may need to turn on signatures in your forum settings)
August 13, 20187 yr Author Thank you! I figured it out. I went into the docker setting and found it was mounted ahead of the mnt folder.

August 13, 20187 yr If your looking in krusader your looking at the file system of krusaders docker image. Open the terminal in the web GUI and look in /mnt that way. You need to setup the host paths of unRAID to see them in krusader.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
February 6, 20215 yr I was interested in the same thing. I don't know how to "setup host paths of Unraid to see them in krusader". In krusader my user shares show up in "media" and do not show in "mnt". I guess cause I did this container setup for Krusader: I tried to follow spaceinvader video. I don't know if I did it right. Probably the wrong place to post this. I was trying to see the folder "mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-sonarr" like the way I see folders in Windows. And same for "mnt/user/Downloads". Edited February 6, 20215 yr by xrqp to add screenshot.
February 6, 20215 yr You have no path mapping that points to /mnt at the Unraid level which is why you cannot see that level from Krusader.
February 6, 20215 yr @xrqp, Edit this this variable: Change the 'Host Path' from /mnt/user to /mnt That will point the /media directory for Krusader file structure to /mnt directory in the Unraid file structure. (Sounds complex but remember that Krusader is essentially running in a separate Linux VM inside of Docker.) Edited February 6, 20215 yr by Frank1940
February 6, 20215 yr Thanks! Why do they use the word "media"? I though it was referring to media like movies and music and tv shows. Does it mean media, like disk media, and ssd ( physical data storage devices)? Edited February 6, 20215 yr by xrqp

Does it mean media, like disk media, and ssd ( physical data storage devices)? It's an arbitrary word. You could mount the host folders to a folder inside krusader called "rabbits" and when you looked in krusader your mapped content would be in the /rabbits folder.
February 6, 20215 yr @xrqp, now that you h ave make this change, let me caution (perhaps too weak a word!!!) you, Never, NEVER copy between a user share and a physical disk (or vice verse). (Using /mnt as the mount piont will expose the physical disks where /mnt/user will not)! If you do copy between them a user share and a physical disk, you will eventually lose data!!! You can read more about that here: Basically, you will eventually copy a file onto itself which Linux will normally try to prevent but in this case, it does not realize that it is doing it.

February 7, 20215 yr Thanks for the concern and caution. What a great and kind community. I am aware of that caution. It was interesting that in Krusader, Root/media shows all my physical disks, and logical user shares, and cache drive. Root/mnt there is nothing (which puzzles me). Krusader help told me to use "Edit - Calculate occupied space" to see the amount of bytes in folders, so I was able to solve a problem with an unexpected full cache, and I could see what caused it and so now I know how to fix it. Excellent. I assume this is one of the best ways to browse the cache drive. It is also interesting that Krusader shows all kinds of folders that are strange to me, and I never see otherwise . Brings up many questions in my mind, but I assume it is not urgent for me to understand. I fairly understand all the folders in Root/media.
February 7, 20215 yr 1 hour ago, xrqp said: Root/media shows all my physical disks, and logical user shares, and cache drive. Root/mnt there is nothing (which puzzles me). You need to realize (in simple terms) that Krusader is running in a VM and that when you looked at the directory /mnt in the root of Krusader, you are looking at the folder that is actually a directory of that VM. (Of course, there are no physical disks assigned to that VM!) If you look carefully at that 'Root', you will find another directory named 'media'. The contents of that directory is actually pointed back to the /mnt (or /mnt/media in the original Krusader configuration) directory of the Host machine which is the OS that is running Unraid. Thus, that 'media' directory is showing you all of the physical disk, cache drive and logical shares. I know this seems complex but let's look at the edit page for that 'Host path 2'. Notice is says, 'Host Path:' for that variable. That is a path on the host machine (which of course, is Unraid) for the Krusader Docker. If you look at the 'Container Path:', that is a path to a directory on the Docker. It is assigned a variable name of 'media' but as @jonathanm said, it could just as easily been called 'rabbits' by changing the name in the Container Path! 🤣 Then all of your physical disks, cache drive and logical shares would be inside of the rabbits folder. Edited February 7, 20215 yr by Frank1940
February 7, 20215 yr Great explanation. I had not thought to treat Krusader like a VM or container. I understand it now, and i can see how to figure out things on my own better now. I was interested to see yours shows the "default value" is "/mnt/user". Mine did not show it. But then i toggled the basic view to advanced view, and then it showed it. Thanks!

March 15, 20242 yr So I seem to be having this issue as well, I’m ssh'd into the machine cd into the mnt dir and it’s completely empty not sure why but it won’t let me add a screenshot

We will need the Diagnostics file. That screenshot would also help. Try to post both up in new post in this thread.
