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

Is there any way to manually specify the size of an SMB Share? I know this is an odd question, but whenever a Drobo 5N2 (or probably any Drobo for that matter) is mounted, they have it configured to show you 70.3TB as the drive volume, even if you only have 5TB of actual drive space.

 

I'd like to be able to manually specify as my Drobo doesn't change often, but getting actual percent utilized data would be swell.

 

Thanks in advance!

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

UD can only show what the Drobo reports.  There is no way to override that.

Hi all,

 

I have added a SMB share that I want to use to backup some data to. If I understand it correctly it should be mounted under /mnt/disks/mount_point_of_share but I don't see my SMB share there. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to manually mount it to a directory? It is also listed as 0 bytes so perhaps there is something else wrong. My credentials are OK though, I could use the "list shares" without problem during the setup.

FORGET IT :) I figured it out. I did not notice that the button displayed "mount" like: click here to mount. I thought that after following the setup steps it would be mounted. Ah well simply clicking on that button fixed my problem. Thanks guys :)

I don't see in the log where you mounted the SMB share.  Click on the 'Mount' button to mount the share.  I would also suggest changing the mount point name to something more meaningful.  Click on the mount point name to change it.

Just added an Unassigned Device (a new NVME drive), give the mount point a name (NVME_drive) and selected Auto Mount and Share. When I press Mount, the drive and mount point change to Mounting... for about half a second and then back to Mount. The drive isn't appearing in mnt/disks so I assume the mount failed. Any tips to troubleshoot?

Hi guys,

I got a lot of files on sc cards that I want to transfer to my array. I have an USB3 card reader, that I connected to my unraid server.

The card reader gets recognized by unassigned devices. However, when I want to mount the SD card/reader, nothing happens. Did some screen capture here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bbtzkigex2pp86z/JLsqN9JfrL.mp4?dl=0

 

The log shows this 

Aug 23 09:21:35 Tower unassigned.devices: Mount of '/dev/sdf1' failed. Error message: mount: /mnt/disks/TS-RDF5_SD_Transcend: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'.

 

So is there no way to mount an exfat sd card?

 

Thanks!

Have you also installed the Unassigned Devices Plus plugin?   I believe this is required to get support for exfat.

  • A drive that is not mounted will show spun down and will not show temperature unless a script file is created.  The Disk Attributes will also be disabled for the drive.  The easiest way to handle this is to click on the edit script icon, select the default script, and then save it.  The default script does not do anything with the drive.

Aloha,

my drive (external USB Drive) shows nothing of this when it is mounted. I activated the default script, but still showing spun down and no Temp. Plus the Drive seems to spin up randomly without anyone accessing it.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Did you create a default script like it says?

Hi there, 

 

I am attempting to mount a share on a different unraid system. I installed the latest (as of 28 Aug 2020) Version on UD, and the UD Addon. Added the Share, Got the Success lcon, but the share will not mount.

I tried, Searching for the System (Found and added by name), as well as, deleting it and adding it by IP (Seen above).

 

When I try to mount it, I get

Again, this is the lasted version of UD, Diagnostics attached, Thanks for the advice/assist!

Anything other than letters and numbers in the username or password?

 

Are you sure that specific user has rights to the Media share?

Well, I created a second user without the special characters, and it worked. THANKS! 

Although, I am surprised that doesn't work :(
