'mount' output:

It is mounted rw.  I don't see any reason why you can't write to the UD disk.  Check your permissions.

 

Try copying files using a Windows or Mac computer and see if you can write the files with SMB.

Is there another place to check perms?

Tried from my Mac and no dice. :/

I see no reason you can't write to the disk.

I have UD 2022.06.10 and am trying to install 2022.07.04. I am receiving 502 bad gateway when I attempt to update or remove. I believe it is inhibiting me from other actions like creating a user, starting a parity check, and creating new shares. I am on unRAID version 6.10.3.

Hi, I am now at the stage of uploading data to my Unraid server, unfortunately the only option in my Unassigned 3Tb external drive is to Format. I have checked it has data on a Windows PC, tried both eSata port and USB, I have downloaded the diagnostic file but I couldn't figure out the issue, hope you can help.

I have installed UD and UD+ plugins.

I have installed I have an NTFS disk. It's 4tb.
It won't mount in the UI. The option isn't even there - only `format`.
However, if i manually mount it via the terminal `mount /dev/sda /mnt/usb-custom` it works flawlessly.
But i really want it to work in the UI. Any ideas?

Edited by unalterable

I have UD/UD+ installed and earlier have plugged in an USB SSD, cleared it, and formatted it (using UD) as exFAT. But then when I click mount on that just created partition it fails because of unknown type exFAT, where would the problem be if it could just create it?

That means the drive has not been partitioned.  UD expects there to be a partition on the drive.

I am not sure if this reply was for me, I am just curious how I can enable password protection and hidden option to share on mounted disk

It’s set globally in settings>unassigned devices>enable SMB security. Select Yes (Hidden).

That appears to be a network issue or a temporary problem with GitHub.  I tried by uninstalling and reinstalling UD and didn't have any issues.

According to udev, there is one gpt partition but it is not formatted.  If you can work with the disk on a Windows PC, the disk is foratted in a way Linux doesn't understand.  Where was the disk formatted?

Thanks, looked at the syslog and found this during initial install of UD+:

Uninstalled and reinstalled, it's fine now :)

 

I have another issue that I've seen mentioned a few times, the smb shares just work... weird.

One drive (WCJ1C9EP) I can't write to over smb, regardless of whether smb security is Public or Yes with RW permissions to the user I use for the other shares (it's xfs encrypted with pool key, Unraid can write to it just fine). Often the client UD shares will show up shared even if share is set to No on them, and ironically I can write to those...

Whenever you change the UD SMB Share settings or change the Share switch setting on a device or remote share, there is a delay in the samba settings taking effect.  Unraid has up to a one minute delay in setting the SMB shares after UD makes changes.

If Linux doesn't see the file system, UD can't mount it.

 

You could put the drive in a Windows PC, share it, and mount it as a remote share using UD.  Then copy the files over the network using SMB,

Yes I've seen that, still if I change the samba security settings for example the remote shares become shared even if they're set to no, and I still can't write to that share hours later and after multiple tries...
