Now that I've specified an explicit mount point, the next time the default changes I won't be affected.

Correct.  I don't know what changed that affected the default mount point, but commiting a mount point (whether it's the default or your own) will prevent this issue.

Having an issue with the latest few releases where my device activity is not showing on any of the "passed through" devices.

Only the mountpoint disk for my raid 10 array is showing activity but there are definitely reads and writes being registered just not disk speed

It's a recent change I made that broke it.  Will be fixed in the next release.

I searched this thread a bit but its quite deep. 

 

I have a HP server box using a raid controller unfortunately. I have a 4 disk array with its 1 parity drive and 2 SSD's I use 1 for VM's and I am attempting to use the other for a cache drive. 

 

In the raid controller i have each SSD setup as an individual Raid0 Confg (same as my array), but when the drives show up in UD they join themselves together and show incorrectly. I was wondering if there is a way I can get the drives to show independently just like every other drive in my system.

Has anyone had any experience using an Auto mapped share from a 2nd UnRaid server and passing it through to Emby or other dockers?

Emby can see and play media from there, but it can't update the meta data in that folder.

 

I'm getting permissions errors;

I have added an old windows SSD to unraid and how to use it in a cache pool along with another similar drive already set to cache.

 

I am unable to mount the drive (it tries briefly).  In the log I see:

 

Feb 15 07:10:47 Server unassigned.devices: Mounting partition 'sdd1' at mountpoint '/mnt/disks/S21HNXAG862535Y'...
Feb 15 07:10:47 Server unassigned.devices: Mount drive command: /sbin/mount -t 'ntfs' -o rw,noatime,nodiratime,nodev,nosuid,nls=utf8,umask=000 '/dev/sdd1' '/mnt/disks/S21HNXAG862535Y'
Feb 15 07:10:47 Server unassigned.devices: Mount of 'sdd1' failed: 'Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. '

 

 

I saw another thread like this here and the moderator spoke of fixing this SSD before trying to mount but not sure how?  The PC it came out of is dismantled.

 

Any ideas?

Be sure you are on the latest version of UD.  Post diagnostics if an update doesn't make any difference.

 

It looks like the device was mounted and then disconnected and reconnected without unmounting, but the 'Dev X' designation is duplicated.  This should not happen if the 'sdX' designations are different.

You'll probably have to take it to a WIndows machine and get it straightened out there.

Thanks.

 

Sorry to read this as I have no practical option to get this drive out of a rack mounted UNRAID chassis.  I assume no other ideas that don't require I remove the drive?

 

At any rate greatly appreciate the fast response!

You could try to click the check mark and see if there is a chance the drive could be made mountable by doing a file check, but I doubt it.

I just updated UD.

 

I'm not sure why it shows DEV1 for both drives on the main screen. 

 

When I click DEV 1 for the first drive it shows: 

 

dev2 Settings

Name:

Dev 2

Identification:

LOGICAL_VOLUME_0014380337D7200_3600508b1001cf95ff760c0e4274362fa (sdf)

 

Then when I click the second DEV 1 

 

dev1 Settings

Name:

Dev 1

Identification:

LOGICAL_VOLUME_0014380337D7200_3600508b1001c9d70bb2587130140cdbf (sdh)

 

I have unmounted, remounted, formatted, etc the 250GB drive a few times, I've removed it and attached it to a Linux box and confirmed it works. Let me know what other information you might need its quite confusing.

Please post the contents of the file '/var/state/unassigned.devices/unassigned.devices.ini'.  Please don't cut and paste it, its too laege for that.  Zip it and post it as an attachmennt, or you can PM ti to me.

I'm farming chia the crypto and am trying to mount my 96th hdd in unassigned devices and it won't let me.   Is there a limit to how many devices can be mounted?  I thought it was unlimited.   I have the pro license. 

pro license is really not unlimited.. its like what 30 hard drives...  either 30 data?  or 28 data 2 parity  if i remember right..

but then you can add mulit pools maybe of 30 each i dont have that many hard drives to test.. 

 

but someone smarter then me probably has the right answer

ya thats what i thought.. i was meaning cuz he mentioned he had pro and supposed to be unlimited but usually that unlimited comment usually ment about the array part..

 

id like to see his computer case   96 disks...

It's a 36 Bay server with 2 - 60 bay jbods connected to it via hba card.   I got it to mount the 96th disk, idk what I did differently but it just decided to mount.

Hi @dlandon!

Got a feature request... :D

 

Would it be possible to create a option in the settings to actually disable the Unmount button (greyed out) from a device like it is now when you activate that it is passed throug to a VM or Docker container:

grafik.thumb.png.37b0efdd89be213817da781222a3d37a.png

grafik.png.c1581c5888a32c29c24cbc49c4fc0b6d.png

 

Or does this also work when I enable Passed Through? If yes will the Automount work like it works when it's not passed through?

 

I unmounted the device now accidentally more times than I would like too... :D

A passed through disk will not autmount. If it's passed through and mounted by a docker container or VM and UD mounts it, there would be data corruption.

 

Probably the best way to handle this is with an enable check box like that used in the recycle bin plugin, and on the plugins page.

1609315276_RecycleBin.png.eb6aed64dcdb0cd6033ba15b1249fbf2.png

 

The 'Unmount' button would not be enabled until the check box is checked.  It would be a bit harder to acidentally click the 'Mount' button.

 

I'll have to think about this a bit though to be sure it makes sense for everyone.

Is this something that would be appropriate:

image.thumb.png.8c02e07e47c4d1794aa11d260eb75b93.png

(please don't judge my drawing skills... :D )

 

Maybe it would be an idea to actually display this switch only if AUTOMOUNT is enabled (next to it not at the end like in my drawing).

Might be more cumbersome than I prefer.  A few too many steps to unmount a device manually.

But only if you turn this option on, otherwise it would work as usual.

This was only just an idea to keep the main interface simple and hide it in the settings.

 

Maybe another idea would be to display Disabled or something simmilar instead of Unmount/Mount if this option is turned on so that it is actually visible that it's disabled to mount unmount the disk.
