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 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

I don't see the issue.  I'd like to get some debug information from your system so I can see more of what is happening.  On the command line do the following: 

nano /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/unassigned.devices/include/lib.php

Change the following: 

$plugin = "unassigned.devices";
// $VERBOSE=TRUE;

to 

$plugin = "unassigned.devices";
$VERBOSE=TRUE;

Then go to the unassigned devices page and download the UD log and post it.   After that you'll want to comment out the '$VERBOSE=TRUE;' to keep the log from growing too large.

UD is finding four unassigned devices.  Your cache disk is excluded.  The disk device id doesn't look right, but it is not the cache disk.  I don't like the truncated nvme-TOSHIBA-RD400_.  That may be part of the issue,

Please show a screen shot of all unassigned devices.  Try to make it more readable.  I can barely read the device id.

Hi Guys,

 

Just installed UD on unraid 6.3.5, there's 1 unassigned SSD in my system that I'm trying to mount for VM/Dockers.

I've formatted the drive as xfs and 1 partition is showing after clicking the + (Samsung_SSD_840_EVO_250GB_S1DBNSAF553821F).

I type in a new mount name, press enter and nothing happens, the cursor just keeps flashing waiting for more text input.

If I click outside of the text box, the label changes back to the original drive name, if I mount it mounts as the original drive name,

 

Tried 3 different browsers thinking that could be the issue (firefox/ie/vivaldi) and tried on a second PC, any ideas how to get the new label to stick? Or maybe a manual entry I can make to .cfg file to bypass it.

 

Cheers.

Having the same issue, with the same SSD (Evo 840).  Can't get the name to stick for the life of me, even tried the trick of adding a line to the .cfg file to force it.

Does the Unassigned Devices plug in allow for data to be copied from a mounted unassigned device into an Unraid share ?

I shoot about 1TB of photos per month which are captured onto portable hard disks in the field, when I return home I want to copy them to Unraid as quickly as possible. I'm hopeful that a direct connected USB drive will be faster than across my LAN.

Need more information.  Post diagnostics.

 

Was just working on that when I did a last pass to "Check for stupid".  Unfortunatly for me, I found where I was stupid.  I had the old plugin installed (Last updated in 2015!).  Uninstalled, added the new version and life is good.

 

Sorry about the miss-fire!

That is a very old version.  How about keeping your plugins up to date.

I have the update running weekly, I believe that it was the prior maintainers version, so was not getting updated.  Everything else is up to date, just hadn't needed this one in years so never caught the change.

Read the first post in this thread.

I read the first few pages of this thread (inc first post) before posting my query. I understand that files can be copied from a share to an unassigned device (external USB) using a script. That makes sense to me. I assume then, that copying files from the unassigned device into a specific share can also be scripted.

Can someone confirm that assumption please ?

Editing the sample scripts to work reliably in the opposite direction is beyond my meagre talents.

I'm happy to reward someone who can provide a script to me that will copy the contents of a fixed named USB device into a specific share.

This is the script I use to move files from my camera's sdcard onto the array:

Thanks, I'm nearly there.

The script is running, but throwing up this error message :

Warning: preg_grep() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/unassigned.devices/include/lib.php on line 169

 

Secondly, I've tried to alter this line to define the destination, but suspect I have it wrong :

## DESTINATION="/mnt/user/Photos/To Be Filed/incoming/$(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S-%N")/"
DESTINATION="/mnt/Private/Photos/To Be Filed/incoming/$(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S-%N")/"

 

The complete path to the target directory is :

smb://Tower._smb._tcp.local/Private/Photos/To Be Filed

 

I've created a folder on the USB device called DCIM and dropped some photos into there.

I assume by doing this, I don't need to alter the source in the script

Solved my problem by making this change

 

## VALIDDIRS=("/DCIM/[0-9][0-9][0-9]___[0-9][0-9]" "/DCIM/[0-9][0-9][0-9]CANON" "/DCIM/[0-9][0-9][0-9]_FUJI")

VALIDDIRS=("/DCIM/")

 

It's probably not as smart as it was before, but at least the files are copying over. I'll work backwards now and put the date suffix back in
