Your script has a problem at line #123.

I've exhausted my skill set on this (lol...ran out of random copying and pasting from other scripts etc)

I can make it work via original script and then applying and removing it as required..... this will work for me.

Thanks for your help and your time.

Remove the fi at line #123.

Yes tried that, and that lead to another issue and that lead to another..... a downward spiral. It would seem the script is suited more to an umounted drive rather than mounted.

Its ok, the script is doing what i need, although my OCD would rather it work the way that you are intending (lightning icon), I must let it go and move on as I have no idea how it needs to be scripted.

Take the issue back to the script author and have them work it out. It needs to be fixed.

It's a really nice script. I worked with him initially to get some bugs worked out. I'd like to see it work the way you want.

I've had it previously when connecting 2 SD card readers that happened to identify using the same string (first would work, would get that error when connecting the 2nd), but this is my drive that I connect every couple of days for automated backups. I have a SATA drive as UD that's currently preclearing but its string looks nothing like it. The string is being read by usb_manager just fine, but seems UD can't grab it. I've tried reloading UD config.

This is an Unraid message. What shows in the UD web page?

Diags attached.

UD shows nothing related (well it has the drive in historical devices)

This drive is encrypted with the pool key. I've tried another USB port, as well as passing it through to a VM and can mount it fine there.

Hmm /dev/disk/by-id shows the ID for the partition but not the disk for some reason...

Going to assume it's udev doing something weird...

Yep, that's what I see.

Remove the UD plugin and stop the array. See if Unraid will recognize the disk and show it in the Unassigned Devices tab.

This usually happens if a device has a duplicate identifier, since I'm not seeing another device with the same name it could be from a previous incomplete removal, how did you detach the device? I'm seeing this and it's not normal:

If the removal was the problem rebooting would fix it.

Kilrah · October 7, 2022

I plug the device in, UD automounts, runs device script, then unmounts and I disconnect. Seems last time was on Oct 4th.

I'm pulling my hair out trying to connect to an SMB share on a Debian machine. I CAN connect to the share through windows, R/W to it etc. When I try to add the share using Unassigned Devices, it shows always shows "Offline". When I add the share:

I add the IP of the machine

username

password

no domain

When I list shares, it shows the shares, and I can select the share I want.

I click done

It always says it's offline and I can't mount it. I tried tweaking my smb.conf file in so many different ways with no luck. What am I missing? Please help.

EDIT: Solved my problem, my server was not pingable. Once I made it so. it IMMEDIATLY worked. Ughh.

Hi all, I had a ubuntu media server with 1 10TB drive set up with an lvm. I set up a new unraid server and I want to transfer the files from the 10TB drive to unraid. I have UD and UD+ and have added my drive to the system. It shows up in unassigned drives, but with only a format option. After a lot of reading forum posts I figured I needed to mount the drive via command line. This is where I am struggling.

Every time I run the mount command I get:

root@acidbox:~# sudo mount /dev/media/lvl /mnt/remotes/lvm_drive
mount: /mnt/remotes/lvm_drive: special device /dev/media/lvl does not exist.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

this is the output of lvdisplay

root@acidbox:~# lvdisplay

  LV Path                /dev/media/lv1
  LV Name                lv1

  Read ahead sectors     auto
  - currently set to     256
  Block device           254:0

this is the output of syslog

Please let me know what I am doing wrong and what I can do to transfer my data

edit: after finding this askubuntu post from 6 years ago.. i mounted the lv with /dev/dm-0 instead of /dev/media/lvl and it worked! Currently transferring 3TB of files! yay!

Still got the "error getting ID" with array stopped and UD uninstalled. Reboot (also upgraded to 6.11.1 at the same time) fixed it.

That's because Linux/Unraid doesn't understand the formatting of the disk. How was it originally formatted?

If UD doesn't understand the format, you can't mount it manually.

Post your diagnostics.

Hi,

i thought I could use my own custom script and pasted the path of the script into the field:

But after hitting the button "save" two things happen:

1.) The path field becomes blank

2.) The script content is deleted (!)

EDIT:

Ok, now I understood the concept. but it seems to be overcomplicated to me?! You have to choose the default script and leave it for example blank and then you are able to select a user script from the user scripts plugin.

3.) Is there a specific reason why it is need to execute two scripts?!

4.) Why doesn't it generate the logs inside the users scripts plugin? This would be extremely nice.

Any script you want to use has to be in the /flash/config/plugins/unassigned.devices/ folder. Put your script there and then select the script from the drop down. This is done for security. You can't run a script from just anywhere.

The "User Script:" is not an executed device script. Again, look at the Help text.

I have old time capsule and need to backup data from it to my Unraid.

Install UD+ plugin

Try to connect from Main > SMB shares > add remote smb/nfs share > SMB > .

System find my time capsule but can't find shares (only blanc field). I add share's name and after press Done

I see unassigned device but can't mount - after pressing system try to mount but no result.

I read this topic and understand that i need to add something about smb1 version of smb protocol.
