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

dlandon · March 24, 2022

A change was made to UD to not allow a Root Share if disk shares was turned on. It was changed to not enable Root Share unless disk sharing was set to "No". Since "Auto" is the default now (this one got past me as I have an old system with old defaults), UD thinks disk sharing is turned on.

The problem with disk sharing being on in a Root Share is a copy from a disk share to a user share can cause problems. I also found in my testing that deleting files when disk shares is turned on crashed shfs when the recycle bin plugin was running.

Probably the best answer here is to enable the "Add Root Share" button and show a message in the first dialog about turning off disk sharing so a user can make that change.

Ah, ok - I guess I was hoping to not have to restart the system.

Manually cleaning up that situation is not easy.

You caught me in the middle of releasing the update and there was a missing MD5. Try again.

Thanks a lot, works as expected. Afraid the GUI pushed the notification early.

No, I made a mistake.

Lovely, all working now. Thanks!

I just added a second 1tb ssd as a cache and set it to raid0 (all my important data is on the array with dual parity). It went pretty smoothly, but i couldn't get back into plex. I noticed that my unassigned drive that i keep my plex app data on wasn't mounted and the name had changed from:

to:

I've never had a unassigned device not automatically mount and also i have no idea why it changed from "Plex_appdata" to the drives serial number. Makes me a little worried....i was able to change it back to "Plex_appdata" and Plex pop'd back up, but now i'm a little worried.

Sounds as if the configuration for the device was deleted or lost from your flash. Did you accidently delete the disk configuration in the Historical devices?

It's nothing to worry about. What you did is all you have to do. When this happens nothing is lost on your disk, it's just that UD lost your mount point setting.

Thats really interesting. I didn't really mess with the flash drive, so i'm not sure. It should automatically mount the UD when the array start?

If the disk settings are removed the auto mount defaults to 'off'. You'd have to set it to 'on' to auto mount the disk.

Something must have changed with the latest UD release, that refuses my disks to share itself. It worked all the time, up until 2022.03.24. Whatever I do, it's not shared at all. What happens here?

Had to change a settings, Apply, and had to change that same setting back to its original value confirmed by Apply. Then it worked again.

UD is using the Unraid api to open the LUKS disk:

Mar 25 17:52:01 mitchsserver unassigned.devices: Using Unraid api to open the 'crypto_LUKS' device.

Is the disk password/pass phrase the same as your array? It appears not because the device was not opened:

Mar 25 17:52:03 mitchsserver unassigned.devices: Mount of 'transport_data' failed: 'mount: /mnt/disks/transport_data: special device /dev/mapper/transport_data does not exist. '

You can set a specific password for this disk in UD settings.

oh maybe i did practice the btrfs encrypted.. let me try...

spinner drive wont even mount anymore and its not password protected but ill tryt the password for the ssd

The spinner has a file system problem. Try a file system check.

comet424 · March 25, 2022

ok the SSD mounted.. i been trying to learn this encrypted stuff. always learning

how do i run the file check? i dont do this everyday so i forget what is what

Click on the '+' to show the partition, then click on the check mark to the left. Hover your mouse over the icons and the tooltip will explain what each icon does.

comet424 · March 26, 2022

so i tried.. there is no Tool Tip for the White Check mark as u cant mount the drive the drive log i didnt copy it all.. so hovering over the check mark doesnt tell me how to check the file system of the drive.. and how to repair it

Device was part of a pool, if there's no data there just re-format.

comet424 · March 26, 2022

check mark its unclickable when its white.. unable to check the file system if i cant mount it, as your steps was to check the file system before you mount it.. but white check mark does nothing

oh ok.. ya i think it was just a spare drive from another unraid i had and shoved it in my sisters box to use.. but that was last year so i didnt remember... ya if its part of data disk then ya i dont need it.. i dont use unraid all the time its a set it and forget it.. so i appreciate you guys that know it 100% as i know it 5% lol

i wish i stuck with linux 20 yrs ago i just hated linux in 2000 and later Redhat gui and command line cisco in 2000. should have stuck with it all instead of just windows lol

ill format it then 🙂

Hello,

My UPS shut down for no apparent reason, and when my Unraid server came back up, the three disks I had as unassigned devices all show "format" instead of "mount", with no file system noted.

They were previously formatted, mounted, tested, and then spun down, as I hadn't yet decided how I was going to use them.

I'm pretty sure one was xfs and the other two were NTFS.

I can reformat as I'm not losing anything, but why would this happen?

Is there any other way to get the system to recognize them without reformatting?

One of them, which used to be an array disk, is also showing in its log info:

Mar 26 11:10:11 Robert root: /usr/sbin/wsdd -i bro
Mar 26 11:10:11 Robert wsdd[5646]: Invalid interface name bro

I think I may have had a share set on that one to backup some data.

The other two aren't showing this, but still otherwise only allow formatting.

Unraid 6.9.2, latest UD (updated after restart today, just in case). I did try a restart, but it made no difference.

Edit: Diagnostics attached.
