Unassigned Devices - Managing Disk Drives and Remote Shares Outside of The Unraid Array

If you are seeing unexplained disk or remote share activity, it may be due to cache dirs caching all folders.  For those of you using the Cache Dirs plugin, you need to specify folders to be included so UD mounted disks and shares do not get included automatically.  This can also apply to pool disks.  It's really the best practice to specify the included folders so you control what is actually being cached.

New release of UD.  The changes are: - Add ability to spin down a disk by sdX.  You don't have to spin down disks by name= any more.  This is still available for spinning down a disk from a User Script because you won't know the correct sdX as it changes on reboot. - Add the ability to detach a disk when a UD script is finished using 'rc.unassigned'.  This detaches the disk from Unraid and should provide a potentially safer way to remove a USB device.  Applies to USB disks only. -

There is a new feature in UD to help with plugins that need a mount point folder.  UD now creates a mount folder '/mnt/addons'.  This folder should be used to mount your plugin devices to prevent FCP warnings and keep your mounts separated from UD.  It is recommended you switch to this new folder for your addon and custom mounts.  You are welcome to leave the mounts at '/mnt/disks' or '/mnt/remotes'.  Things will still work, but if you request support for UD issues, you will be asked to remove t

UD is now creating a mount point folder for plugins and addons

The recent changes to the way UD checks for remote servers being online were done to eliminate the inappropriate way UD was managing remote server names trying to get around local DNS name lookup issues.  The way it works now is using several methods to lookup server names after an IP address is found to have an open SMB or NFS port when searching for servers.  Nmblookup and avahi are used to find the names.  The issue comes when UD tries to verify the server is online with the servername and no

It's that self healing feature I built into UD.  It just fixes itself.

New release of UD.  Changes: When changing the mount point (which is also the share name), the mount point is checked for a duplicate of a user share or another UD device.  Samba cannot handle

What is this?

    [WORKGROUP] => FEDERATION
    [DOMAIN] => 
 

instead of using workgroup name for workgroup i use the name federation (star trek)  I don't run a domain here only a workgroup.  Is that not correct?

UD is not setting up the SMB or NFS shares and I see no reason for that.  My only suggestions are:

  • Click on the double arrows on the UD page and see if it fixes the problem.
  • Reboot.

If UD has set up the share properly, you'll see it in the testparm output between the [global] and [flash] sections.

 

If neither of these work, let me know and I'll look at it some more tomorrow.

I've added soom additional logging to help understand the issue you are having.  Update UD and be sure you mount a shared disk before posting diagnistics again.

By the way, I have same problem. Until now I have been working with the shares, suddenly the two shares are no longer visible over the network. They are mounted, because I can access them internally, but not externally over the network.

Update to the latest version of UD and then mount a shared disk and post diagnostics.  I've added some logging to try to figure this one out.

Same issue here. 

 

Visible internally to Sab/Sonarr/Krusader but no longer visible from Windows 10 clients on my network.

 

This happened within the last few days.

It looks like your UD Settings are not correct.  Go to UD Settings and re-apply the SMB Security settings: 

Feb 20 07:49:06 MediaTower unassigned.devices: Mount cmd: /sbin/mount -t 'xfs' -o rw,noatime,nodiratime '/dev/sdd1' '/mnt/disks/Download'
Feb 20 07:49:06 MediaTower kernel: xfs filesystem being mounted at /mnt/disks/Download supports timestamps until 2038 (0x7fffffff)
Feb 20 07:49:06 MediaTower unassigned.devices: Successfully mounted 'sdd1' on '/mnt/disks/Download'.
Feb 20 07:49:06 MediaTower unassigned.devices: Unassigned Devices are not set to be shared.

If it is set, turn it off and then back on.
