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

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

for me it is, my server is in my living room and I have a loud 7k3000 in it which is only used for backups - but sometimes it randomly spins up (no idea why, nothing is recognized by file activity). then it would be easier to just go to the GUI and let it spin down. 

And then it would spin back up.  Figure out why it is spinning up to keep it from doing that.

already tried that - I have absolutly no idea :/

 

nvm, if its easy to implement it would be nice to have that functionality - if not, its ok anyway. I can do it from terminal.

The ease of implementing a feature is not the issue.  I don't add a feature that only has value for one user or solves a problem that should be solved in another way, especially when the UD page real estate is at a premium.

Is HFS+ supported? I was having issues transferring files from my externals onto my server and was told to try Unassigned Devices to mount the drive directly to my server. I have done that and the drive shows up, but the only partition it shows is one called EFI. When I use the external on my Mac, it's formatted for HFS+ and only has a single partition. When I refreshed once or twice I saw the partition I expected to see, but when I tried mounting it it refreshed and was gone, and now I haven't seen it since...

HFS+ is supported.  It looks like your UD configuration is corrupted.  Uninstall UD and delete /flash/config/plugins/unassigned.devices/ directory.  Then re-install UD and start over.

I've been struggling to get this to work.   I have a new unraid server in which I am preparing to run sabnzbd, sonarr, radarr.. etc on.   My old server a synology has the TV & Movie shares but for some reason I can't browse to them from the unraid.   It is not seeing them in /mnt/disks from any app in docker even though they are mounted and I can browse from unraid itself to every folder without issue.   I've disabled and reenabled docker following the directions in setting this up but that doesn't work.   Logging in from SSH seeing that the shares have ownership set to root:root figuring that was the issue but am just not sure.   Really just need to be able to use another remote server's shares from the unraid server.

Have you set your volume mappings to "slave"?

Which volume?  In Unraid?   I can access unraid server from a windows PC the same as from my synology to the windows PC but synology > unraid isn't working.

 

In Unraid I have the following:  Only created Media with subfolders TV & Movies so far.

 

appdata application data - - - Compute... 14.5 TB
Backup   Public - - Compute... 14.5 TB
domains saved VM instances - - - Compute... 14.5 TB
isos ISO images - - - Compute... 14.5 TB
Media Media Library User Share Public Public - Compute... 14.5 TB
system system data - - - Compute... 14.5 TB

Generally, you can assume that the term volume mapping is referring to dockers. Do you have any working dockers?

Can anyone point me to directions on how to rename the shares created by Unassigned devices? When I share my external drive its shared as the model of the drive and serial (Default)

From the first post in this thread:

  • There are different operations in various active areas (especially the disk serial number) based on whether or not the disk drive is mounted.  If the disk is not mounted, click on the serial number, click on the partition name, then you can type a new mount point name.  Press Enter for the name change to be applied. 

  • This will now become the mount point and the share name when the disk is shared.

Just saw that when stopping my array. Not sure if its a know issue or an issue at all but I thought I would share. 6.3.3

Can you post the UD log?

If you look just 3 posts before yours, you will see the answer to this which was asked only a few days ago. That answer was copied from the very first post of this thread. Everyone should read the first post of the support thread if they are going to use any plugin.

My SSD mounted using UD has thrown up some errors after a restart and no longer mounting.  Anyone got any useful tips?  I'm prepared to hose it and start afresh but I'd prefer not to.

  

Apr 12 14:42:28 Adding disk '/dev/sdl1'...
Apr 12 14:42:28 Mount drive command: /sbin/mount -t btrfs -o auto,async,noatime,nodiratime '/dev/sdl1' '/mnt/virtualisation'
Apr 12 14:42:28 Mount of '/dev/sdl1' failed. Error message: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdl1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error

EDIT:  I realise this isn't strictly speaking a UD issue, so @dlandon if you want me to delete it then let me know.

If you need to recover data see the FAQ to try and mount read only or use btrfs restore, if data is not important might as well format it.
