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

There is a new feature in UD to help with plugins that need a mount point folder. UD now creates a mount folder '/mnt/addons'. This folder should be used to mount your plugin devices to prevent FCP warnings and keep your mounts separated from UD. It is recommended you switch to this new folder for your addon and custom mounts. You are welcome to leave the mounts at '/mnt/disks' or '/mnt/remotes'. Things will still work, but if you request support for UD issues, you will be asked to remove t

UD is now creating a mount point folder for plugins and addons

Try this. Under the sharing options, check off the user for the Mac to store windows creds in a less secure manner but which gives greater compatibility

Your backup is in archives, right? If so the user/perms of the backed up files are stored in the archive and the drive perms don't matter.

Unzip and copy the attached file:

cp lib.php /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/unassigned.devices/include/lib.php

Wait for about 5 seconds to be sure UD refreshes the GUI and see if you can then mount a drive.

No takers? I guess I'll wait a bit more and release what I have to fix the problem.

Unassigned devices is not working correctly for me after upgrading to 6.12.8, device is set for automount and it does mount but is not reflected in the UI:

If i click MOUNT. the button just goes back to the same state

Additionally the SMB share is not created even if it says so in the syslog:

@bubbl3 Update UD and your disk will then show as mounted. It is actually mounted.

Please don't do that. That is not what that script is for. It just so happens that that script reloads SMB settings and makes the share appear in this case. You should never have to use the command line to get UD to work. Just go to the disk settings and toggle the share switch. That should enbale SMB for that device.

I'm not seeing anything yet, but I'm looking.
