This has been asked before but there was no solution as far as I saw...

 

 

How to mount an encrypted disk?

 

Do I have to resort to the command-line or am I missing something (I have UD+ as well)?

From, https://eddrit.com/r/unRAID/comments/18xro2f/encrypted_unassigned_devices_password_location/
 

/usr/sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen 'drive path' 'label'

And then it will be mountable?

 

Also, it's hard to search long threads like this.

If you have an encrypted array and the passphrase on the UD disk is the same as the array, it will mount.

 

If you don't have an encrypted array or the UD disk passphrase is not the same as the array, go to Settings->Unassigned Devices and set the passphrase for the UD disk.  It will then mount.

I can't select any disk in the settings, it doesn't offer me a disk in the dropdown of

Disk Password

Set Encrypted Disk Password

 

Password is the same actually anyways. (I didn't create these disks with unraid)

UD doesn't recognize those disks as encrypted because they are formatted without a partition.  That's what the 'Mount' button is showing - that there is no partition.  Reformat them with UD and they will mount properly.

Ehrm. I would rather not lose that ~13 TB of data
So UD(+) cannot recognize these disks because cryptsetup was applied to the whole device not a partiton. Hm, I wonder why UD is like that, it shouldn't matter if there's no underlying partition, it is mounted beautifully by various other tools. That's not good. I will do some testing manually as suggested by the reddit article.

No surprise here, this does the job:

/usr/sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sd<drive letter> <label> && mkdir /mnt/<label> && mount /dev/mapper/<label> /mnt/<label>

Unraid WebGUI couldn't care less though, no changes there. So now I have to figure out how to do this copying with root user to a share.

Oh, WebGUI's File Manager (using v7-beta3) recognizes the mounted drive so happy ending we have.

 

EDIT:

I actually get an invalid target error when wanting to copy from physical device (not part of any array or share) to my user share, see post:

I am getting this error when I update the plugin.

Unraid Array and Pool disks are all formtted with partitions.  UD follows that scheme so a disk can be created in UD (BTRFS, XFS, or ZFS) and then added to the Array or a Pool created without having to reformat.

You could also mount the disk on another computer and then add a remote share with UD.

I just checked and I didn't have any problems.  You may have an issue with your Internet, or you may have a memory issue.  Try a reboot then update again.

I am unable to process that. "Reformat" the disk so it can be read by UD, without data loss? What sorcery is this?

Of course you would have to move the data off the disk, reformat, and then move the data back.

Okay, but I don't see how that helps me mounting my device.

That would be very cumbersome. Using another computer to host the disks, similarly.

Just offering some options.  I understand if they won't work for you.

Unraid 6.12.13

Im trying to mount a remote share thats on my ubuntu pc on the local network using the unassigned devices plugin. However the plugin only ever shows the unraid server no matter what protocol I select. Ive tried entering the IP of the ubuntu machine but it makes no difference. Ive setup SMB shares on ubuntu and a windows machine on the same network. I pinged both machines from the unraid server and there is no issues there. I can access the unraid shares from either machine but not the other way around. What am I missing?

Go to a command line and type 'ud_diagnostics', then post the /flash/logs/ud_diagnotics.zip.

Hi, sorry Im new to unraid. Where can I find this folder /flash/logs/ ?

/flash is your Unraid USB device ... in terminal it would be called /boot or you enable Share Flash to access via smb/nfs

I just updated to the latest version of the plugin and the showmount requirement is preventing my Synology based nfs shares from being mounted on Unraid. Showmount -e synology_ip results in an rpc error. Still researching a fix/workaround. ud_diagnostics attached

What is the output of:

showmount -e <server name>

and

showmount -e <server ip_address>

 

both: rpc mount export: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host 

 

I've disabled the firewall at the synology and I can ping from unraid box to each synology unit. I only mount 1 of them but I have 2 others I've been trying to test with to see what the issue is. 

 

Edit: it has been working fine for months prior to todays update. Other NFS clients are mounting the same synology unit fine.

Edited October 29, 20241 yr by totalhavoc

It's fixed. The synology unit has multiple nics with only 1 active. There was a static IP assigned to one of the inactive nics. Removed the static ip from the inactive nic and everything is working now

Glad you got it going.  Sounds like today's update highlighted the issue with your Synology.  That's probably a good thing that it is now fixed.

I just updated my unassigned devices plugin and now my windows shares are gone.  I'm going through the settings and trying every combination that makes sense, as i assume permissions/settings have changed in this update.  My unraid log shows this after the update:

unassigned.devices: Warning: Unassigned Devices are not set to be shared with SMB.

unassigned.devices: Warning: Unassigned Devices are not set to be shared with NFS.
