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.

Yeah thanks, for any reason after I got back to lunch I suddenly noticed the bug button did not say "unmout" but simply "mount" :) I think our posts just crossed as they are both listed as "15 minutes ago". Thanks for looking into this though!

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?

Just to ask the obvious question have you partitioned/formatted the drive?   If you have the the UD log might give a clue as to why it is failing.

I think there was an issue with the initial format. I was able to resolve it by installing UD+ and reformatting the disk

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.

Sweet lord, that was an easy one. Feeling pretty stupid right now. Fixed that instantly. Thank you very much!

  • 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.

Many (most?) USB connected drives do not properly send through SMART attributes and temperature readings

Well, this one seems to do it. (I forgot to meantion that I am getting Temperature-Warnings, too)

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

Reconfirm the name and password you are using to connect. The error says logon failure.

Yep, double and triple checked, both with Hostname and IP, its right

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

 

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

I used root, but it does have "#" in the password

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

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