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

You have not set the SMB Security:

Mar  8 15:45:47 TVServer02 kernel: xfs filesystem being mounted at /mnt/disks/downloads2 supports timestamps until 2038 (0x7fffffff)
Mar  8 15:45:47 TVServer02 unassigned.devices: Successfully mounted 'nvme0n1p1' on '/mnt/disks/downloads2'.

hi im unable to mount remote s

hares i have on my main server... a rootshare called "root" and its mounted

but when any of my servers try to mount to it i get this error

Mar  9 10:08:20 backupserver kernel: CIFS: VFS: \\192.168.0.3 failed to connect to IPC (rc=-13)
Mar  9 10:08:20 backupserver kernel: CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13

i have tried removing all shares and re adding doesnt help

@comet424 Have you checked on your Main server that Settings->Unassigned Devices->SMB Security is set to something other than No? If set to No then it cannot be accessed over the network.

comet424 · March 9, 2023

@itimpi it used to work i only noticed last couple days.. as i could no longer access it from any of the servers... as i use my other unraid servers as backup and tdarr nodes and it wasnt able to do it anymore

main server is set for smb security public auto case sensitive and yes to force a nobody

as i used to use rootshare as my rootshare.. in the one section but with the one of recent space invaders videos he no longer does the hard code the rootshare and does the UD rootshare.. but i could not use the name rootshare in UD guess its protected. so went the root name but now its not mounting and i get that error

Is the serever at 192.168.0.3 the correct IP address for the server you want to mount the remote share?

I think this implies a credentials failure.

comet424 · March 9, 2023

@dlandon yes correct ip so if i do the ip or host name

i enter the user name and password and then the share "root" i click submit.. it then says successfully created.. and then when i go to mount it it throws me the error.. it was working a week or 2 ago and if i do a Windows mapped network drive to the same directory that works fine so like z: = \\192.168.0.3\root that has no problem mounting z: the problem is unraid to unraid

i was thinking it might be one of the last ud updates in the last couple weeks that maybe stopping it to mount.. i only found out when i rebooted the unraid servers.. that it wasnt auto mounting anymore

the only other thing i can think of it is recently did the "docker update" addon.. dunno if it has anything to do with it.. other then that everything auto updates each night too.. so i dunno what to check?

update.. so i apparently can't mount any smb share

so i create a remote share

i do a search it finds my servers.. so i can do hostname or ip address

i type in root for user and password

i click next on the domain

i click search for shares.. but it never finds any.. so i manually type it in.. then click submit

then i get success... then i try to mount the share and it wont

if i create a user name

and use it to create a link to a rootshare i can see the share names and when i click submit.. it says sucessful.. but i still cant mount it

ill try deleting all remote shares on backupserver and main server.. reboot everything and then re try the user name i used.. since i could see the shares but it wouldnt mount.. maybe a another clean reboot will help

i guess its working again... after couple reboots and re creating the user name i had before..

will allow me mount the it.. dunno why it didnt before? so what i did was i erased the user name on my main server .. and re created it... as i guess user name root isnt allowed to be used.. but i did use a user name prior.. but i deleted it rebooted everything re created it and now its all mounting again... on the other unraid servers i didnt delete the remote share links i hit mount and they mount again.. as i was testing on the backupserver... so not sure what when wrong.. but too late to find out diagnostics i guess as i rebooted and re created teh user name

If UD can't find the share, then it can't mount it.

comet424 · March 9, 2023

ah ok it jiust can create the share successfully just cant mount it afterwards.. what about hidden shares

Just because you enter a share name, that does not guarantee UD can mount it. Does the share listing show any of the shares on your remote server? Hidden shares won't show in the list.

comet424 · March 10, 2023

ah ok.. and ya its showing now.. i dunno if something broke in unraid int last couple weeks.. as it was working but when i did a reboot i wasnt able to mount anymore... but ya when i search it shows up the shares.. and i can mount it now.. dunno what happened ... weird

Unassigned Disks (UD) shares are no longer showing up on MacOS (10.15.7) or WIndows 10. This started before I upgraded from 6.11.1 to 6.11.5 so I think it's related to UD. For the last year, I've had no problem with UD shares (I have no problems seeing actual share directories) and then one day they magically disappeared. I've rebooted both my mac and unraid server multiple times. I've gone in and unshared them, hit apply and then re-did the share. My /etc/exports directory has them listed. I think it's something related to UD because Windows can no longer see them , either so it's not just a Mac thing. I have the latest version of UD which is dated for 3/3/23.

Note: I have no problems accessing these disks from the Unraid server, so it looks like the mount is good, but the network component is hosed.

SOLVED: I guess 'enable SMB Security' got changed in the UD settings or functionality changed. I set if from 'off' to 'Public' and my shares showed up again.

@TimV have you checked under settings->Unassigned Devices->SMB Security that you do not have this set to No as that would stop it being accessible via the network? There seem to be a spate of people recently shk have fallen foul of this.

If you make a change to the flash config file, you'll have to click the double arrows icon on the UD page to refresh the ram file that holds the config file. When UD is operating, the configuration file is in ram and copied to the flash drive when a change is made.

I pulled my hair out for a few hours trying to figure out why the MOUNT button was greyed out for one of my disks. Clicking this refresh button fixed it for me.

I encountered a problem on a fresh install of 6.11.5 with zfs drives.

Whenever I try to assign an alias on a disk, it isn't applied.

I tried: pool1, Pool1, Pool_1 but whenever I click the Done button I see it didn't change anything. Clicking on the drive settings again - I see its name reset.

Am I missing something?

Post your diagnostics.

I don't see anywhere in your log where you tried to change the disk name. There should be an entry like this:

Mar 11 10:41:27 BackupServer unassigned.devices: Set Disk Name on 'WDC_WD20EARX-00PASB0_WD-WCAZAC192391 (sdg)' to 'MusicBk'

Click "Save" to change the disk name, not "Done".

Missed this button

Zoomed in too much, and the main confusion was having the top Done button (and I see there is a bottom Done button as well?).
Will report back by editing in a couple of hours.

EDIT: That was it. Thank you for the help!

The disk log routine was changed in 6.10 so it fails because UD is still using the 6.9 disk log routine. This is fixed in the next release of UD.

I am still getting this with the latest UD in Unraid 6.11.5 by the way...

invalid cmd: /webGui/scripts/disk_log

Here you go...It's a test server for playing with ZFS, so its not running the array currently.

I can't reproduce your issue. Where are you trying to run the disk log?

Show the ooutput of this command:

cat /etc/unraid-version

Jclendineng · March 12, 2023

version="6.11.5"

Im running pre-clear from the plugin, and clicking the disk log on the pre-clear page, under "Identification" beside the disk, not the pre-clear log, but the actual disk log.
