Is this what you are needing? I don't see anything in the area UD is when the plugin is removed.

Seems unlikely. I can bring up a terminal and see them just fine. They also show correctly in the syslog.

Quick Q.

I added the SMB shares using the "Add remote SMB share" because I wanted to copy files to UNRAID using some file manager and because I thought this was how I could share files to a Plex docker running on my new Unraid server?

 

But I just noticed that all the mounted shares are now showing up as shares on my network under Tower?

And reading the below info (Thanks)

Mount Points and Shares

There seems to ba a lot of confusion over a mount point vs. a share.  The mount point is where the device is mounted locally on Unraid.  A share makes the mount point available in Windows at '\\Tower' as a browseable folder.

 

It seems I might have done this wrong? or do I create them without mounting the SMB shares (Not wanting them available in Windows share \\Tower )

Sorry if I am complicating things ;-) love this plugin!

Any SMB or NFS share will be shared locally as an Unraid share (show in \\Tower) based on the settings in the Settings->Unassigned Devices.  If you don't set up security there, then all shares will be shared public and any Windows computer can browse the shares.  Based on what you are telling me, you probably want to share them hidden.  That way they can't be browsed.

YES! setting the UAD/SMB as hidden did exactly what I wanted! - I am new to Unraid and now on my 29 day trial, but looks like I have to go shopping for a Pro license! - Again many Thanks for clarifying!

Again, they add to the array fine and preclear fine. The only area I'm not seeing them is in UD.

Unassigned disks are disks not assigned to the array as parity, data, or cache.  Those disks are assigned to the array.  You’ll not see them as unassigned disks.

I am in the process of consolidating hardware & would like to move a RAID0 array into a VM with UD.  What I have been doing in the past to passthrough a disk is use disk-by-id in the KVM template and this works just fine, but is labeled as Red Hat VirtIO SCSI disk device by Windows 10.

If I create a RAID0 array with UD, can the array be passed through by using the root device ID?

If I pass through say 5 disks instead, will Win 10 Storage Spaces allow creating of an extended array with the QEMU emulated disks?

I'm trying to add an unassigned drive using a share from a Win10 machine on my network.

I go to "Add SMB/NFS Share", I choose "SMB' from the dropdown and it can see the PC in question, but it can't see any of the shares on the machine. I have the share(s) set to "everyone" so i shouldn't need username/password but even if I enter that info (same info I log into that Windows machine with) no shares display.

 

I read some other posts where the "finding" shares options doesn't work and that you should just manually type in the share which I've tried. It shows up in unassigned devices as "//myPC/G" but if I try to mount it, it doesn't succeed. Tried on 2 different PCs on my network with the same results.

 

The little light next to the Device in the first column is green though if that means anything...

 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Click on the 'Search for Servers' button, then select the server.  Then click on the 'Load Shares' button and you'll see the shares on that PC.

User and password are only needed to authenticate access to the share.  It is not necessary to show the shares on the PC.

You shouldn't have to enter the share manually.  Works for me.  The ability for UD to see the shares on the PC depends on the Master Browser.  It might help to set Unraid as the Master Browser.  Settings->SMB->Workgroup Settings

I tried the "load shares" and it doesn't show any shares on any of the PCs on my network. It remains blank. 

I have the shares set on the PC in question as generic as possible - single letter, shared with "everyone"

 

unRaid is my master browser (Yoda head says so! :))

Hmmm. Not sure what permissions would be needed. That snipet is from the manual entry I did. I'm guessing that would cause problems on it's own.

Obviously something is messed up as it's not populating the shares on /Homer when I hit the "load shares" button. 

I can access the shares from other Windows PCs no problem.

Is there an issue with the user login password?  Expired?

Well, it's shared with "Everyone" and I'm not prompted for any login/pass when I access those shares from another WinPC on the network. 

I thought the "Shares" should populate regardless of login/pass population in that window.

 

Where in the diagnostics did you see that error message? Where should I be looking as I test things?

Hmmm I do log into all these machines with my Microsoft Account though. Don't see how that should matter too much though as I'd think the shares should still populate the drop down though - just wouldn't be able to access them if it was a login/pass problem?

This list is more for convenience than for functionality.  Not showing the list would not necessarily keep the remote share from mounting.  Try this command and let me know the output.

/usr/bin/smbclient -g -L IP -U% 2>/dev/null

Are your Windows computers and Unraid on the same workgroup?  Can your Windows computers browse the Unraid shares?

Both are in "Workgroup"

I browse my unRaid shares all the time via Homer (the Win10 machine I'm trying to get this SMB share working with)
