Unassigned Devices - Managing Disk Drives and Remote Shares Outside of The Unraid Array

[sunbear]

  

Can someone please tell me what these Errors are about? I've been regularly getting them for a few months now. Diagnostics attached.

UD is using lsblk to determine the size of your disk /dev/sda.  That disk is a WD My Passport.  Does that disk show a zero size in the UD UI?  Are you using the disk?  Is it working?

I think I found out why I did not find it earlier:
The help for UD  / SMB / Shares and such opens from the Click on Boot Device
I'm not sure whether the entry Boot device was present before I installed UD (I guess it was), but its a bit counter intuitive to check there.
(Click red to open both blue (and the following blue as well, not on screenshot)

This is fixed in the next release.

[dlandon]

2022.02.09 release of UD.  The biggest changes are:

• The handling of the display tables in UD has been changed.  The tables are initially created and then filled after an update.  You'll probably see the Unraid spinner at times instead of a blank screen as previously.
• The help works properly now.  Clicking on the disk devices table header will toggle the help.  This also fixes the situation where the UD help will show in the non-tabbed view when toggling the help on other device table headers.
• Udev actions are cleaned up even more.  No udevadm triggers are initiated any more.
• Php errors are logged to help in tracking down php issues.

Please update as there are several issues that have been addressed in this latest version:

• Same device shows in UD and historical devices.
• Device information not being updated in UD after a change in the mountpoint name.  This causes the old device label to be shown.
• udev being triggered causing btrfs duplicate uuid messages in log when the array is rebooted.

Before asking for support, update UD first and see if the issue is addressed.  If it's not we need the diagnostics from the latest version to offer support.

[comet424]

future feature request  for UD plugin on the main page.. offer "View"  just like you can do for Array, pools , flash

 

so incase you dont do "share"  you can least click the File Folder icon to see whats on the unassigned drive .. to see the contents instead of either mounting share or needing to run  Krusader to view the drive

 

i tried to see a feature  in the UD settings or disk settings if it was   Unraid that didnt allow it but couldnt..

 

but be a nice feature if possible

When a disk is mounted, you'll see a browse icon next to the mount point meaning you can click on the mount point name and browse the disk.

[comet424]

i dont seem to have that feature  browse icon  

[comet424]

which icon lets me browse?  if its supposed to be that white box  beside the name transport data ..  thats unclickable.. i tried changing the setting  pass through  but that didnt help.. not sure what the pass through does

 

also checked my other unraids  the little box  is also white unclickable if thats what you mean by browse

unless i need to enable something?

Edited February 9, 2022 by comet424

[dlandon]

Click on the 'transport data' text.  The icon with the arrow indicates that the 'transport data' can be browsed.  When the disk is not mounted a pencil shows indicating that the mount point (also the share name) 'transport data' can be changed.

[comet424]

ah ok its working now  what i did was refresh

 

what seems maybe its a chrome issue?

 

when i click the "transport data"     it actually  loaded up the part says "Change Disk Mount Point"

 

so even though it was with the white box..  and you clicked the name  it get Change Disk Mount Point"  but i had to hit F5  and then it worked....

 

gonna try if it works on IE   

 

[dlandon]

Update to today's release.  There were some updates to the webUI that could have an affect your situation.

[comet424]

works there.. must be a cache problem or something  like in Home Assistant  when you change the HACS  they tell ya to reload the page.. 

 

but seems to be working now..   i always had that issue in past   the "change disk mount point"   but works now  

 

thanks

 

[comet424]

ah ok  ya  up to date now.. so hopefully no issues..

 

thanks  love the plugin  helps soo much 🙂

Hi,

I have already used chkdsk. It does not find any errors.

The drive is shown normally in Win10.

 

Anything else I could do?

Found these errors in my syslog.  At the time I was just checking the User Scripts plugin script logs.  I don't remember seeing any errors on the console.  Not even sure if what I was doing triggered the errors to be honest.

Those are php program errors.  I've implemented logging of php errors so I can track them down.  It's a programming issue and nothing you've done.  They shouldn't affect you.  I will have these fixed in the next release.

Hello fellow Unraid users!

 

Yesterday I had to restart my Unraid server and found that my autostart VM no longer worked. After some troubleshooting I found that the issue was that the disk image could no longer be found, and the reason for that is because the unassigned device I was using changed its name for an unknown reason after a restart. Is this normal?

 

I guess the better question is, why do both paths still exist? It looks like some of the directory hierarchy is left in the original path, but the content is gone and only available from the new path.

 

Did I just miss an update message with the Unassigned Devices plugin?

 

Cheers,

Ben.

 

PS: I posted this in General Support first but it was not appreciated...

Thanks.  Correct, I didn't have any issues but just thought I'd report the alerts. 

[dlandon]

I appreciate you reporting them so I can get them fixed.

You have let the mount point default and the default is now different.  Click on the mount point and set it to the value it was originally and save it.  UD will then always use the value you set.  If you want to keep the default after installing a new disk, click on the mount point to change it and then just click 'Change' to commit it.

I really like to see mounting SFTP servers through Unassigned Devices. How I do it at the moment:

# settings
sftp_user="john"
sftp_pass="password"
sftp_host="192.168.178.8"
sftp_port="4321"
sftp_path="/uploads"
# install sshfs
cd /tmp
wget https://slacky.eu/repository/slackware64-14.2/system/sshfs-fuse/2.8/sshfs-fuse-2.8-x86_64-1sl.txz
upgradepkg --install-new sshfs-fuse-2.8-x86_64-1sl.txz
# add fingerprint only once
if [[ $(cat /root/.ssh/known_hosts) != *"$sftp_host"* ]]; then
  ssh-keyscan 192.168.178.8 2>&1 | grep -v "^#" >> /root/.ssh/known_hosts
fi
# mount sftp server
mkdir -p "/mnt/disks/$sftp_user-at-$sftp_host$sftp_path"
sshfs -p "$sftp_port" -o reconnect -o password_stdin "$sftp_user@$sftp_host:$sftp_path" "/mnt/disks/$sftp_user-at-$sftp_host$sftp_path" <<< "$sftp_pass"

 

Of course there would be mechanism needed if the fingerprint changes. Or it gets automatically deleted after the user removes the UD mount. So the user is forced to re-add the SFTP mount if the fingerprint has changed. Which I think is ok as it shouldn't happen.

I'm going to post this as a feature enhancement to Limetech and see if it is something we want to add to UD.

Thanks, changing it back to what I had (and moving back my VMs & Docker paths to their preferred spot...) solved it, I should have paid more attention when setting up UD long ago. Now that I've specified an explicit mount point, the next time the default changes I won't be affected.

 

Cheers!

Ben.
