Are you out of memory?  Post your diagnostics.

Please see the attached diagnostics. Server uptime is only about 6 hours so hopefully there isn't too much to sift through.

 

Memory usage is 10GB/64GB presently, and generally never exceeds 32GB/64GB.

  • It's that self healing feature I built into UD.  It just fixes itself.

Remove the '#' character from the mount points.

Ha, yep, that did it. Just curious - why the change?

I'll have to take a look and see what changed.

How do you have the disks connected?

 

Both SSD are attached board H310 disk controller.

 

[1:0:1:0]disk ATA P4-480 522a /dev/sdc 480GB

[1:0:2:0]disk ATA P4-480 60 /dev/sdd 480GB

 

Thanks again for help.

why  both the ssds not show in dashboard as unassigned devices ?

UD has to have a unique serial number for each device.  Some external drive bays don't present the unique disk drive serial numbers that UD needs.

I've got an issue with a hotswap drive that I've mounted to my unraid.

 

I want to back up some file to a cold storage drive. I formatted the drive as exfat in windows and can mount it in unraid and copy files to it over the smb share. 

However, I want to use mc to copy files on the fileserver itself.

The problem is the folders are all owned by root, so I cant copy files to it. 

 

The error I get is:

Quote

Cannot chown target directory /mnt/disks/sharename
Operation not permitted (1)


I can cp files with the command line. Just think its weird that mc can't do it.

It will still copy them with the error, but to avoid it just uncheck this:

The plugin install script for some reason doesn't seem to write to `/boot/config/smb-extra.conf`. At first I thought it was because that file didn't exist for me, and `add-smb-extra` appends to it, but even after touching that file and reinstalling the plugin, it never gets written to. I just ended up running `/tmp/unassigned-devices/add-smb-extra` manually. Not sure what the reason behind this is, although I'm curious why the `add-smb-extra` script is invoked through `at` with a time of now...

Working fine for me on plugin installation.

 

The 'at' was used because if it is not the plugin install will not show the 'Done' button.  Just a little fluke in the plugin install.

I've made a few security changes and the '#' character is a problem.  When the '#' and '&' character along with a few others like single and double quotes are used in the mount point, they are converted to underscore.

 

UD is written in php and there are some reserved and inappropriate characters that cannot be used in variables.

Hello, I'm trying to mount a remote SMB share but it won't mount.  I've seen some people saying to use the IP address vs the hostname, but I don't even see where that can be edited.

 

From the system log:

Sep 12 06:16:54 Tower unassigned.devices: Mount SMB share '//DIETPI/sda2' using SMB default protocol.
Sep 12 06:16:54 Tower unassigned.devices: Mount SMB command: /sbin/mount -t 'cifs' -o rw,noserverino,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=99,gid=100,credentials='/tmp/unassigned.devices/credentials_sda2' '//DIETPI/sda2' '/mnt/remotes/DIETPI_sda2'
Sep 12 06:16:54 Tower kernel: CIFS: Attempting to mount //DIETPI/sda2
Sep 12 06:16:54 Tower kernel: CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13

I have verified that the mount point exists and I made the DIETPI_sda2 folder myself and ensure it was 777 just like the unassigned device folders in the disks mount point.

That looks like a credentials issue.  Be sure not to use special characters like '#', '?', '!', or quotes.

 

You enter the IP address where you choose the server.  Just type it in and don't click the search for servers button.

New release of UD:

 

The major change is support for NFSv4.  You will need 6.10.rc2e or later for NFSv4 support.  The default is to mount all remote NFS shares with NFSv3.  If you want to enable NFSv4, go to the UD settings and select 'NFSv4' as the default version to mount.

it was, in fact, an incorrect username.  for some reason i used a different username for the samba share than the ssh user.  anyways, all sorted and thank you.  also i was able to use the IP address.

[Feature request] Add encrypted icon when the HDD is encrypted

 

Hello, this is not priority, but I noticed that my Unassigned device hdd doesn't show the encrypted icon, like the ones in my array.

I know this is not a bug or anything, just cosmetics, but wanted to let you know to see if in the future can be added.

I don't code for the Dashboard.  You will have to ask Limetech for that enhancement.

I'm attempting to format a 4TB SSD as an Unassigned Device as XFS. After selecting "XFS" and typing "Yes," I receive "Success," however, the Format button remains highlighted and there's no partition added to the drive.
