Yes. More than an hour since clicking the ball. But never alone before since updating...

The spin down delay for UD devices is the global disk spin down delay.  Maybe you aren't giving it enough time.

  • 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

Thank you very much for your quick answer :)

I gave several days - but just the array disks are spinning down (Timeout is 30 Minutes). The unassigned disk is rotating all the time - then i tend to write here to search for help.

Do you have the latest version of UD?  Post diagnostics.

 

Confirmed UD is the latest version, still no automount. Fresh diagnostics after reboot below.skallox-diagnostics-20210307-1211.zip

It appears that uninstalling the Cache Dirs plugin stopped the messages.

If this is the disk, it is not marked as auto mount:

Thank you for digging into my diognostis. I linked that excerpt in my inital post with the below image showing it marked as automount. 

 

So, circling back: Am I missing something? Would using the User Scripts plugin to mount it be an appropriate way to bandaid this issue?

I think the configuration file may be corrupted.  Can you remove this drive and then remove the disk from the Historical settings?  That should clear the settings and start over.

Make sure the MTU on all servers is set to default values.  1500 for Unraid.

Well, both of my Unraid installations are 1500.  My router is a Google/Nest Wifi, which is difficult to find documentation for, and which does NOT have adjustable settings :(

 

Additionally, I have removed and redone the mounts in Unassigned Devices.  It doesn't make a difference.  Also, the other mounts are dropping out randomly now also, not limited to a single mount.

Yup.  I did and changed it to only include certain shares.

 

Sorry for the trouble!

Are you using cache dirs?  If so, remove it and see if it fixes your issues.

Turn off the docker and see if it will spin down.

It seems that 6.9.1 solves the problem. 

Does anyone know why my VM using 'Unassigned devices' will no longer work after the most recent 6.9.1 update?

 

Disk is pushed using:  /dev/disk/by-id/

The error is keeps referring to /dev/sda2, even though the unassigned disk is /dev/sdc.

 

Running fsck states /dev/sda2 is not existent

It's very difficult to help you with this limited information.  Please post diagnostics.

That disk has errors:

Click on the check mark when the disk is unmounted and UD will check the disk and fix the error.

 

Why are you using a VFAT file system for a VM?  It would be better to use BTRFS, or XFS.

Sill get the same issue:

 

FS: ext4

/sbin/fsck.ext4 -v -f -p /dev/sdc2 2>&1



/dev/sdc2: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
 

 

I only use this VM for Lancache, if i need to reformate due to the above error i will correct, i cant remember setting this originally.

VFAT is not a good choice.  I would reformat the disk.

Ok, will do. Cheers.

Is there anyway to pull the data first so i dont lose all the cached downloads?

 

Edit....

Got it sorted with:

cp -avr /mnt/disks/ST1000DM003-1CH162_S1DETV80-part2/home/david/lancache /mnt/user/LANCACHE

 

Once complete i will format to XFS and resetup the VM & Lancache

 

Cheers for the quick advise
