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.

Major new release of UD: "Where are the switches?"  The "Pass Through", "Read Only", "Automount", and "Share" switches have been moved to a new Edit Settings dialog.  This is also where the script is modified.  This saves some real estate on the UD page and keeps the page refresh smooth. A "Show Partitions" switch has been added to set showing all partitions by specific hard drive device and not generically as before.  The option to show all partitions has been removed from the UD

New layout and features

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

It's not UD.  The remote shares unmounted fine.  It's the dockers taking a long time to stop:

I think your shutdown timer is set properly to handle this.

Ok that makes sense. I appreciate your help. Sorry for bothering you. 😊

The mount points you are trying to mount remotely are not Unraid shares and you are setting the export rules manually for those shares.  This is an Unraid share entry in the exports file: 

"/mnt/user/isos" -fsid=105,async,no_subtree_check *(rw,sec=sys,insecure,anongid=100,anonuid=99,all_squash)

I suggest you take a look at this entry and compare to your entries and see if changes are needed.  I suspect a permissions issue that UD is having trouble with.  Check if 'all_squash' makes a difference.

 

As a test, share a normal Unraid share with NFS and try to mount that and see how it goes.

 

I fully understand that you can mount those with other systems.  The issue is that the UD NFS client is probably more restrictive about permissions.

Little confused these nfs shares are not from unraid but a debian distro running on a pi.

I dont want to mount any Unraid Shares.

Ok.  But if you want Unraid to mount them, you'll probably need to add all or part of this to the rules: 

anongid=100,anonuid=99,all_squash

hey guys , am new to unraid ,,

ive been using unassigned devices and working fine so far but there's a small issue where some files not shown in the mount drive tho its already there ( synology )

any clue would be appreciated

There is an issue with CIFS mounts (remote shares) in 6.12.9 that causes this issue.  For the moment downgrade to 6.12.8 until we come up with a solution.  Since this appears to be related to Samba (CIFS mounts) or the Kernel, it will have to be fixed with an Unraid release.  I haven't been able to address the issue with anything related to how UD mounts remote shares.

I'm using this plugin to mount a Hetzner Storage Box via NFS on my Unraid machine as an offsite borg backup. This mostly works fine, but I'm experiencing an issue where fairly frequently Hetzner will perform maintenance (or something akin) and the NFS connection is broken - and not automatically re-established. This causes my regular borg backup to break indefinitely until I unmount/remount the share and restart the borgmatic container.

 

Hetzner have recommended mounting the share with autofs, which should resolve the problem. Is there a way to do this via this plugin?

 

If not, would a suitable alternative be to spin up a small VM that mounts the share via autofs, which then re-exposes it via NFS/Samba?

UD is not able to accomodate this.  You should look into setting up an fstab where you can specify the autofs.

I've been using Unraid and this plugin for years, but recently I've upgraded to the latest version and the new Unraid version. I have been getting some weird issues..

 

I use Radarr and Sonarr for movies and tv shows, All my movies or tv shows are stored on my NAS drive.

So the other day I was getting messages saying the movie or TV show file was deleted from Radarr and Sonarr. Checked the radar/Sonarr and it says the file is missing. So then I checked the movie/TV show on my NAS and the file is there.

 

Next, I go to Unassigned device click on my SMB share and then click on one of the movies/TV shows it says is missing and the mkv file is not there.

 

File exists on my NAS

Nas drive mounted into unraid with unassigned devices not seeing the file.

Anyone having issues with remote NFS shares not mounting because of the "protocol not supported" problem, update UD and is a patch will be applied to overecome an issue with an NFS setting we enabled that causes this issue.  UD reverts that setting so these errors do not occur.  It isn't an issue with Unraid to Unraid connections with NFS, it seems to only affect other server devices that don't behave the same way as Unraid.

Hello,

 

I encounter strange problem after update Unraid to 6.12.9. Some files in SMB mount are not visible to Unraid.

I have docker container with Emby and mounted remote share from Synology NAS (SMB). This remote share with video files mapped to Emby container. Everything worked great until update to 6.12.9. During scanning a Emby Library a got info that some video files was removed and also deleted from Emby database (about 600-800 files). I checked on remote share on Unraid and indeed this files is missing but on Synology files are still ok. I don't know why this files are no visible to Unraid.

 

After downgrade to 6.12.8 everything is ok. What can I do or check?

After I did update to 6.12.9, I started to have a problem, after 20min in after boot, one core does max out and RAM starting to grow until 100% and locks up the system.

 

After many tries, and after safemode test, it happon only with plugins enabled and I dont even need array started or disks plugged in. 

 

Thanks to plugin EnchantedSyslog I did get this when the cpu started maxed out after 20min, Did google the code, find a old post that did send me here, anyone seen this before?

Can anyone advise what user is used when making remote file shares in NFS?  Struggling to get a rpi share up and running. 
 

thanks 

NFS does not use credentials.  It uses Linux permissions.  There is an issue with UD and 6.12.9 Unraid.  Update UD and see if you can get your NFS shares to mount.
