comet424 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 and what im frustrated also with is.. why is there to Flash folders when it tells me to edit the Go file or make folders on the Flash folder they are wrong when i go over to the Windows share Flash and edit stuff there it does nothing i found there is a 2nd flash folder when i use filezilla and then there is the boot folder for the flash whats the purpose of windows flash share if this doesnt work very frustrating i have no idea what files to ever edit etc Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 if i make a user with a password on the backup server and i run the command line i get this error root@Tower:~# rsync -avu --stats --numeric-ids --progress -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -T -o Compression=no -x" /mnt/user/Pictures/ mike@MitchTower:/mnt/user/Pictures/ Warning: Identity file /root/.ssh/id_rsa not accessible: No such file or directory. mike@mitchtower's password: rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) [sender=3.1.3] root@Tower:~# Quote Link to comment

Note that under linux folder/file names are case sensitive so that ‘flash’ is not the same as ‘Flash’. Similarity ‘boot’ is not the same as ‘Boot’. Also it is the ‘go’ file, not the ‘Go’ file. Things can get confusing if you accidentally creat a file/folder with the wrong capitalisation as Samba tries to emulate windows case-independence. However if you have folders with different capitalisation it will arbitrarily pick one of them to show over the network hiding the other one. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 well i only have 1 Flash share in windows when you install Unraid.. it automaticlly gives you a flash share and i alter the go file from the config folder that does nothing but then there is filezilla boot/config/ go file s so im confused why is Flash/Config/go file not the same as boot/config/go file whats the purpose of the flash folder when it says edit the files from flash when i gotta edit the flash folder and the boot/ folder then i read there is a root/ folder havent seen that i cant even unshare unraids Flash folder.. as it complains in common issues ... but i never created 2 flash folders unraid did that/ Flash (windows share) boot/ (filezilla share) both exactly the same when i did the steps to do MKDIR .ssh and the copy of the ssh stuff using the terminal its no where to be seen under FLASH share im getting annoyed with this stuff.. there should be only 1 Flash share then Flash and i wanna delete the boot/ through filiezilla since its just duplicated no point in keeping 2 copies then i can make all the adjustments under the Flash share folder unraid made cuz i cant get this rsync to work nore this tac command to work either just getting frustrated Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 so u can see both the same yet if i put a file in one its not shown up in the other.... if i make a directory under Windows flash folder it doesnt show up on the filezilla and since i dont wanna use this filezilla i just perfer to delete that boot folder since its the same as the windows flash folder and ill just edit things from windows share as no point both copies being the same as i edited the go file under flash/config but its not the same as boot/config/go file so whats up with this bs Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 i hear unraid supposed to be soo much good but im more frustrated with this command line prompt... and i was using freenas before for rysnc is windows gui based and i have no idea why unraids rysnc isnt windows based have to enter all this coding,.. it was easier in freenas click this box enter in this detail and save and then shows you progroses how much percentage is complete of the rsync i like the unraid but it seems more complicated for rsync all this editing never had to do any of this editing in freenas figured unraid had a gui based just like freenas so dont mind me being frustrated im a windows user not really a command prompt user Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 and if i cant delete the boot folder... then i wanna delete the flash windows folder and then share the boot folder in windows to edit it Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 and what i want is unraid to wake up a backup computer send the new files delete any old files say after 30 days from the backup server then shut down the backup server and do this like once a week and also send certain folders over the internet to my sisters unraid box.. and her unraid send certain folders to mine once a week to keep data replicated and backed up and apparently rsync is only one that does this as a script thing i learning as i only went with unraid because of LinusTechTips and they use peersoftware but that software is 2000 dollars so not worth it just to replicate my data from unraid to unraid Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 is there a tool that cleans up these double copies of file locations and a tweaker or repair tool to fix whatever is wrong with the rsync.. like windows has registery scanners to clean up and adware cleaners... does unraid come with program to fix these issues?

John_M Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 If I might make a suggestion, try writing in sentences and use punctuation, even though it's rather old fashioned and untrendy. That way people who want to try to help you might have a chance of understanding you. I tried and gave up in frustration. You need to make it easier for anyone who wants to try to help you.

comet424 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 sorry very hard with dislexia and learning disability well what are you confused about.. i thought i wrote in sentencess.. .stating that there is 2 flash folders a boot and a flash and i deleted the ssh folders now i was going to delete teh BOOT folder so that the Flash folder will only remain... and i posted the errors rysnc is showing Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 ok so ill re sum up everything do i delete FLASH folder in Windows or do i delete the BOOT folder in filezilla as they are the same yet different.. do i edit the GO file in Flash Folder in windows or do i edit the GO file in the BOOT folder in Filezilla why is rysnc asking for a password when the server doesnt use a password how do i delete Flash folder since it seems not important and Share it Boot Folder... since Terminal, when i type mkdir hello makes a folder on the Boot (filezilla) but doesnt make the directory Flash in windows share.. there is some of it summed up hope that helps Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 and how do i fix that last error i posted how you recreate host files or what not with the rsync Quote Link to comment

Definitely do not delete that. If you delete the contents of the flash share, you will wipe out everything on the unRAID flash drive. If you are working with WIndows, it sees the USB flash drive as the folder called flash. /boot simply refers to the root of the flash drive as that is how unRAID mounts the volume. If you are working from the command line, /boot is how you reference the flash drive. If from the console or terminal session you type 'cd /boot' and the list the contents you will see exactly what you see when you open the flash share in Windows. The Go file is in the /config folder at the root of the flash share. You do not need to be using Filezilla to edit anything. In fact, it is totally unnecessary in this process. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Might be best if you post the output of ls -ail /mnt/user This will show all your shares. Odds on, you've somehow created a share called "Flash" which is conflicting with the unRaid share called flash. Windows does really funky things with identically named shares and with similarily named shares only differing by upper/lowercase. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 well reason i getting confused when i followed the instructions to setup ssh etc in Terminal i typed MKDIR .SSH or if i did MKDIR HELLO well it doesnt show up on the FLASH usb file folder i also needed to make Logs/cron folder for the log files if i made it in windows under tower\flash\config\logs\cron unraid didnt find it when i did MKdir logs and mkdir logs\cron then the logs were created... but this folder was saved in the BOOT this is why i getting confused why doesnt anything work when i create folders under windows Share Flash and why are all the plugins hidden if i use filezilla i see the plugins and all these extra files... i use windows goto the flash same location no files its like Flash folder has like 100 files and the Boot location has like 200 files why are they soooo different??? files i make in Terminal dont show up in Flash and here is that image squid asked Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 see you can see why i confused if Flash and boot the same why they different Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 To unconfuse the issue initially, mv /mnt/user/flash /mnt/user/notflash This will rename the flash share to be notflash. This will stop Windows from continually having a hissy fit as to what's going on. As to how it got created in the first place, it was something that you did or misconfigured a backup or something.

comet424 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 so like i was saying if i make a folder called logs\cron in windows on left side.. it doesnt show up on the right side and user script doesnt like that says file area doesnt exisit but if i make the folder in the right side above it doesnt show up on the left side (windows ) side but the user script sees the folder logs\crons so im just getting confused Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 when i first installed unraid and setup xfs but moved to the btrs file format.. it setup Flash i never made it and i cant even disable share.. under shares i click it to not share it and just reverts to public share.. ill try that command Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 but ya when i remember when i first installed unraid there was like 4 folders i think appdata domain flash iso so ok its renamed to noflash and i was able to unshare it now so its not exported... will that fix the issues and now how do i share that boot location so instead of using filezilla i can access that location with windows so when i make a file folder.. in windows unraid will see it.. and is there a command to fix the rsync as i deleted the ssh folders to try to fix the password issue Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 soo renamming flash didnt help still cant get it to work i ran the make a new ssh and to copy it to backup server but its not working Quote Link to comment
