I have a problem.  Last night, PLEX was updated.  The Docker container wasn't updated till today.  I installed it just fine.  PLEX runs on an nvme designated as an Unassigned Device.  After I updated the Docker this morning, I found that Unraid had also updated to 6.9.0beta30.  After I installed the update and rebooted, I no longer have the Unassigned Devices section in my "Main" tab of Unraid.  However, if I go to the "Dashboard" tab, it does display that section along with the drives.  But, it doesn't indicate my partitions on those drives.  So in a sense, it's not really working.  PLEX is unable to start because of it's location on one of the Unassigned Devices partitions.  Any ideas?

 

====== UPDATE ======

 

The problem is not related to the version of Unraid.  I just down graded back to 6.9.0beta29 and the problem is still there.  I think it's the Plugin.  Can I reinstall it without losing the information about my partitions?

 

====== UPDATE ======

 

It worked.  I took the leap of faith and uninstalled/reinstalled it.  Seems to be working now.  Must have been a settings corruption somewhere.

For future reference, please assume we want the complete zip. It has many things in it that can help make much more sense of things than just the syslog. I often don't even look at the syslog until I have looked at other things in diagnostics just to get some context of what I might be looking for in those hundreds of lines of syslog. And many things syslog doesn't even tell us that are in other parts of the diagnostics.

 

Save everyone time if we don't even have to ask for it. For example, it was 4 hours after your initial question before we finally got the diagnostics.

 

I apologize and certainly see what you're saying. I will be proactive in the future with the diagnostics files. I really appreciate the help and support on the forums in aggregate. This is the the first time I think I have ever posted an issue. 99% of the time I can solve any issue in looking through these forums and spaceinvaderone videos...

I'm not an expert with disk controllers, but it appears your disk controller caused Linux to have trouble assigning drive designations for Unraid and Unraid assigned the wrong designations to the array disks.  UD checks the vars for the disks not assigned to the array and designates any that are not as unassigned disks.  In this case all disks look to UD to be unassigned.

This isn't really a UD issue.  UD is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

 

I would report this in the 6.8.3 support forum.

Unraid doesn't support SAS multipath. 

 

Ah... I think I might know the issue then. I was having some other issues a while back and in the process of troubleshooting I replaced the cable between my server and the SAS enclosure. When I worked out that it wasn't the cable, or the controller modules in the drive enclosure (an MD1000), I left both cables attached. I assume that this could be the cause. I'll try unplugging one and restarting and see what comes up. I have new processors to install as well, so I might install those while its down this weekend... Of course I guess the alternative culprit could be the HBA card, which is also due to be replaced soon, so hopefully one of the two fixes things.

 

Thank you guys for the help. I really can't convey how appreciated it is. This place is a gold mine of information.

This has come up at times.  I am pondering a solution.

I haven't had time to test the new update, but I really appreciate the time you've put into this plugin. I'll know for certain the next time my server boots, but I'm fairly certain that the check for network connectivity before mounting remote shares will resolve my issue.

Edit: Tested and working as expected! Thank you @dlandon

Hopefully this is the right thread for this:

 

Potential bug with Historical Device reporting SN#s:

 

Synopsis:

Replaced 2 4TB drives for 1 16TB drive

Now under Historical Devices it is reporting the 16TB drive is missing

 

Steps to reproduce:

 

In my case:

Disk 7 had a 4TB SN# V3F9

Unassigned Device 4TB SN# F8R8

 

Powered system down and swapped out F8R8 for 16TB SN# TRZP

Formatted SN# TRZP

Once completed swapped out SN# V3F9 (Disk 7 slot) with SN# TRZP which moved V3F9 down to unassigned

At some point it is now reporting SN# TRZP is missing even thou it is sitting in DISK 7 Slot. I wasn't paying attention to the various menus during this process.

 

Thoughts:

What I think is happening is when I swapped out F8R8 with TRZP during the power down it thinks TRZP was F8R8

Are you saying you formatted a disk with Unassigned Devices, then used that disk to rebuild disk7 in the array? Why? Rebuild completely overwrites the disk with the formatted filesystem of the original disk with all its files, so formatting it before using it as a replacement is completely pointless.

 

I always worry when someone seems to misunderstand "format" because a lot of people have mistakenly thought they could format a disk in the array then restore its data from parity.

If you assign a UD disk to the array, UD will report it as a missing UD disk.  It is the correct operation.  Just delete the historical device.

I am still on Unraid 6.8.3

 

I just added a new unassigned disk - precleared no problem (first time I used JoeL's script, normally I use gfjardim when preclearing).  Now I went to delete the partition so it'll format the disk but after typing Yes I'm getting a failed operation and its not doing it.  Can I use the CLI to force a format to XFS to move it to the next step to be an unassigned device?

 

I wonder if its an issue w/ UD and if I should uninstall and reinstall?  I"ve tried rebooting a few times still no luck.  If I uninstall and reinstall it won't delete the stuff from the other UD Drive will it?

added new thought

I am not sure if this was asked, but would it be possible to integrate mounting remote SSH shares into UD?  That would go along way to make things easier for those that are using sonarr and radarr and I think would be really helpful.

 

Thanks!

First off, awesome plugin! Been using it for close to a year now without issue. Really, really useful.

 

Currently I'm using it for an NVME drive to run my VMs (and a couple of dockers) off of. Everything was fine until I changed my array (and UD) encryption to a keyfile, now the array starts on reboot but the UD NVMe drive will no longer auto mount (it's unlocked successfully via the keyfile but just isn't mounted).

 

Has anyone come accross this before and/or have a fix?

When cryptsetup opens a LUKS2 (newer format) header, it needs this /run/cryptsetup directory to place some locks for atomic operations. If this directory is missing, it spits out that warning message, creates the directory and continues. In the case above, it completed successfully.

 

The UD code seems to assume that if cryptsetup luksOpen generated any output on stdout/stderr, it means it had an error - and assumes failure (.../include/lib.php). Therefore this warning message from cryptsetup causes it to give up.

 

@DaveDoesStuff may have recently formatted this particular drive, so that the header format is LUKS2. Hence, this chain of events.

 

You may want to consider changing UD to look at cryptsetup's exit code, rather than stdout content, for a reliable indication of success/failure.

It looks like the remote server is not available to Unraid.

It definitly is, unraid is able to load the share I want to connect to. I chossed the share from the drop down menue.

Both machines are on the same network. And as mentioned, other windows pcs on the same network are able to connect to this smb share without a problem. 

Are there any tests I can do, to get more information from unraid?

Delete and recreate the remote shares.

Hi, I discovered the script (at the opening post) to make a copy of several shares to an external hdd. In my case I would like to copy several shares (actually all of them on only 1 disk [disk1] ) to an external hdd mounted using UD in /mnt/disks/UD_hdd2.

In my scenario what should I change in the script to rsync "disk1" with the external drive?

Apart from the latter anything else I should take into account?

Are the shares you want to backup from disk1 stored entirely on disk1?

 

I modified the script to backup several shares, but, not by disk as the shares are spread across several disks.

 

If you really only want to copy all of disk1, change the rsync line to copy from /mnt/disk1

 

Edited October 20, 20205 yr by Hoopster

How do you mount an SMB share that contains a $ character (a hidden share running on Windows)?  When I try to add the share using unassigned devices it fails with the following error in the log: 

 

unassigned.devices: Share '//blah/blah$' contains a '$' character.#011It cannot be added.

 

I tried manually adding it to samba_mount.cfg, but it still doesn't work there either.

 

Adding some keywords because this issue is hard to search for: dollar sign

 

 

EDIT:  I found an old chain about this issue from 2016 where @dlandon incorrectly believed that 'mount -t cifs' does not support hidden windows shares (shares ending with $).  I can fill in some missing details  - the issue you were experiencing is that you were trying to connect to the default admin shares on Windows (C$, D$, admin$, etc) - in order to mount those you either need to disable UAC on the Windows side or change a registry value (add DWORD LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy=1 to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System).  My point is that hidden shares are certainly supported by the cifs mount command, and in my case I'm not trying to mount one of these 'admin' shares - I'm just trying to mount a regular hidden share which are not affected by that policy.  It would be great if you can add support for this.

 

 

EDIT2: @dlandon - I did some testing with the unassigned devices plugin code and I think the fix is as simple as removing the '$' check and changing line 1195 in include/lib.php from

$samba_mounts = @parse_ini_file($config_file, true);

to

$samba_mounts = @parse_ini_file($config_file, true, INI_SCANNER_RAW);

It would be great if you can test/implement this minor change. Thanks!

Yes.

The script contains:

logger Pictures Backup Drive Not Mounted -t$PROG_NAME

Excuse my ignorance, but those "Pictures" should not be changed?

Yes.  I was just talking about the rsync command that does the actual backup.  Of course, change anything else related to what you are backing up.

 

Since I am backing up four shares, I just duplicated the rsync line three more times and changed the share name.

 

My modifications involve several shares (instead of disks) so I just removed the word 'Pictures' from all those logger lines and left it at Backup. 

 

I left the Pictures share line the same because I do have a Pictures share and it is being backed up.

Yes.  I was just talking about the rsync command that does the actual backup.  Of course, change anything else related to what you are backing up.

 

Since I am backing up four shares, I just duplicated the rsync line three more times and changed the share name.

 

My modifications involve several shares (instead of disks) so I just removed the word 'Pictures' from all those logger lines and left it at Backup. 

 

I left the Pictures share line the same because I do have a Pictures share and it is being backed up.

 

Here's my  modified script for reference:

#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
## Available variables: 
# AVAIL      : available space
# USED       : used space
# SIZE       : partition size
# SERIAL     : disk serial number
# ACTION     : if mounting, ADD; if unmounting, UNMOUNT; if unmounted, REMOVE; if error, ERROR_MOUNT, ERROR_UNMOUNT
# MOUNTPOINT : where the partition is mounted
# FSTYPE     : partition filesystem
# LABEL      : partition label
# DEVICE     : partition device, e.g /dev/sda1
# OWNER      : "udev" if executed by UDEV, otherwise "user"
# PROG_NAME  : program name of this script
# LOGFILE    : log file for this script

case $ACTION in
  'ADD' )
