jschultz070 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Docker application PlexMediaServer has volumes being passed that are mounted by Unassigned Devices, but they are not mounted with the slave option So I have a question what does the Slave option do ? I am using an SSD for plex and the slave option doesn't seem to start the drive before the docker ? which I would have thought it would do. So what is that option for ? Quote Link to comment

It allows docker containers to see paths mounted after Docker starts. Without R/W Slave mode set, the container only sees paths mounted before Docker starts. Quote Link to comment
jschultz070 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 ok thanks for that. I thought the OS would make sure that drive or path would be mounted before the docker started. Thanks for the clarification. Quote Link to comment

It is not about whether the drive is mounted before "the docker" starts. It is about whether or not the drive is mounted before the docker service starts. If the drive isn't mounted when the docker service starts (basically at array startup), then the slave option is needed. Quote Link to comment

Squid Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 As an aside, this test is going to be removed from FCP as I don't believe that it's strictly necessary anymore except for some very specific use cases, and in certain cases actually has the opposite effect Quote Link to comment
Morty4President Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 So if I haven't had any problems so far (I've been running my Plex server for about 2 years now) I shouldn't change the R/W Slave mode option as FCP suggests? Quote Link to comment
