I get these two values now (having finished my backups):

252365103104
7598835113984

...the first of which tallies with the the Free column now reporting 252 GB available space.

Update UD and see if the disk stats are correct.

The OOM errors are due to a qbittorrent bug that occurs when having multiple Qbittorrent webUI sessions open simultaneously on the same IP address. I've already created a bug report on qbittorrent's github repo.

I went ahead and remove Cache Dirs entirely. That has fixed the issue of WebUI lockups. However, I still have a strange issue where a remote SMB share becomes unresponsive after being idle for a period of time (an hour or so). It still requires me to restart the remote SMB server to fix the issue. This is a fairly long-standing issue for me, fwiw. It's occurred since at least Unraid 6.10.

Update UD and see if UD doesn't allow you to unmount the remote share that is offline. If not, post a screen shot.

What is the benefit of storing containers or VMs on an unassigned device rather than in a standard pool. I saw this mentioned on the original post. It may have been answered before but there are many pages of posts in this thread.

Looking at that it was written before pools existed in Unraid.

Hi all,

Been having this problem for a couple weeks now. I missed a "1" when I tried to add a remote share using UD. I'm trying to remove it from the UNRAID GUI and cannot. The GUI tries to remove, says it has been removed but then it's still there.

I waited for the latest UD update to come down a couple days ago and installed it. Still no joy.

things I have tried ...

- stopping array and try to remove the remote share

- Putty session into UNRAID server and ensure that the remote share\folder was not in the remotes folder

I am running the most recent versions of dlandon UD & UD Plus ...

any suggestions much appreciated ... thanks,

E

Go to a command line and type "ud_diagnostics" then post the /flash/logs/ud_diagnostics.zip file here.

E-ManN · June 2

Do the following:

Edit "/flash/config/plugins/unassigned.devices/samba_mounts.cfg" and remove the two backslash characters.
Go to the UD page and click on the double arrows in the upper right.

You should be able now to mount the remote share or delete it.

UD should not accept a backslash character. I'll have to take a look at it.

E-ManN · June 2

woo hoo ! Thanks a million dlandon. All fixed!

The name of my config file was a little different.

for those of you interested I documented the steps in more detail ...

ok ..

so I connected to my UNRAID server with winscp.

made a backup of samba_mount.cfg. ... samba_config.cfg was not found, but this looks like the correct file ...

in winscp made a copy of (in the same folder)

/boot/config/plugins/unassigned.devices/samba_mount.cfg

named it ...

/boot/config/plugins/unassigned.devices/samba_mount.cfg.bak

image.png.588b938c85eb93166afed17b453d08a1.png

edited in winscp

/boot/config/plugins/unassigned.devices/samba_mount.cfg

removed the two \ from the file.

before ...

after ...

image.png.47d99c6f88b3fe806c7047faab895b6f.png

saved the file. opened the file again to verify that the changes stuck.

now onto this step ... "Go to the UD page and click on the double arrows in the upper right"

now I can mount or delete the remote share ...

thanks again for your help dlandon. It was my badd using the back slashes. Yes I'm a Windows guy. lol

thanks,

E

Hello unraiders,

I have noticed a strange problem with unassigned devices plugin with large number of drives. I have around 80-90 drives attached in a jbod connected to my unraid. Sometimes I need to unmount a drive and clear/format it. And when I press "Unmount" randomly it starts unmounting some of the other drives, too?! This happens very randomly. I'd say between 3 and 8 attempts it leads to this behaviour. I don't know if it's a bug or something else. Can you help me identify the reason for this?

Thanks!

At the very least you will need to attach the diagnostics collected immediately after this occurs.

ToTo · June 3

Ok, I've attached diagnostics to my previous message. the problem happened like ~30 min. ago.

Hello, I've got an issue with an external usb drive that can't be removed from Historical Devices. I've looked around at some other support threads, and i've tried removing and reinstalling all UD plugins and rebooting the array several times but it doesn't seem like I can remove the drive, any tips?

Edit the file /flash/plugins/unassigned.devices/unassigned.devices.cfg and remove this entry:

Glyph_StudioRAID_TB2-0__+__A@wCL_

Then go to the UD page and click on the double arrows icon in the upper right hand of the page. This will remove the disk from the Historical Devices.

The issue is the disk serial number includes a '+' and '@' characters that cause issues in php. I'm making a change to address this.

awesome, thanks for the quick fix!

Hello,

I cannot seem to remove an invalid remote SMB share. I clicked on Remove and says it successful but it is still showing. I already rebooted my Unraid server and but it is still there.

image.png.217123b20523eb206185213804ff9219.png

I checked /mnt/remotes but it is not listed.

Any ideas how to remove this ?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Go to a command prompt and type 'ud_diagnostics'. Then post the /flash/logs/ud_diagnostics.zip file here. There is probably an invalid character in the configuration preventing removal. Once I see what is happening, I can prevent it in the future. I'll also tell you how to remove it.

I believe I have a fix for this in the next release of UD. In the meantime edit the /flash/plugins/unassigned.devices/samba_mounts.cfg file and remove the backslashes from this entry:

    [//\192.168.98.6PHOTOS/photos] => Array
        (
            [protocol] => SMB
            [ip] => \192.168.98.6PHOTOS
            [path] => photos

In the future, let UD find the server and try to use the server name so you don't have to enter the IP address. It looks like you tried to enter the IP address as the server and missed something.

I edited the samba_mounts.cfg but it does not take effect. I rebooted my server already.

Click on the double arrow icon on the UD webpage to refresh the configuration. You can delete the remote share or possibly it will mount if it is setup correctly.
