Yep, typically bad credentials, you can try using the CLI with the actual credentials to test.

Sorry, I'm a little unclear, can you elaborate? I need to use the CLI in Unraid to make sure that those credentials can connect to Windows, is that it? What command would that be?

Just to rule out it's a UD plugin issue

Can't help with that, but it should be easy to find using ChatGPT or similar.

I'm trying to format an external HDD with exfat, it fails with this error message:

Dec 31 16:05:57 HAL unassigned.devices: Format device '/dev/sdh' with 'exfat' filesystem.
Dec 31 16:05:57 HAL unassigned.devices: Format command: /usr/sbin/mkfs.exfat '/dev/sdh1' 2>&1
Dec 31 16:05:57 HAL unassigned.devices: Format failed: sh: line 1: /usr/sbin/mkfs.exfat: No such file or directory

I tries reinstalling UD+, file is still missing. On Unraid 7.2.2, UD 2025.11.18 , UD+ 2025.08.05a

Unraid 7.2 now supports exFAT, looks like the plugin needs an adjustment to use the existing mfks. For now, you can format the disk using an Unraid pool.

Just encountered this identical problem trying to format and mount a new exFAT drive on 7.2.2. If this is a known problem, any idea when might be cured? I would prefer APFS, but at least need exFAT for portability to macOS. Any other workarounds?

It is now, I've reported the issue to LT and it should be fixed soon.

Hi,

the need has come up to connect my Android mobile phone as an external USB disk. I have the "Unassigned Devices" addon installed but it does not show my Android phone, once I connect it via USB cable. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

is there a limitation with UD to create a ZFS dataset with recordsize=1M on a pool on an external disk? I tried and can only create with recordsize up to 128K. On a pool (in unRAID, without UD) it works, though.

(Update: Please forget the question - my fault. The pool is created with not the necessary featureset to enable recordsize=1M. You need to upgrade the pool first, then it works.)

Hope this is the right place to post.

I'm following up from this thread: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/197199-array-wont-start-after-stopping/page/3/

In short, I have UD installed and I am able to stop and start the array.

But as soon as I create a share (SMB), I am able to stop the array but not start it again.

Any thoughts or help on being able to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I need help for how to add a folder shared via UD on a remote endpoint using NFS.

eg: on unRaid, I have a UD folder named 'nas-share' and have the Share switch enabled.

Now, how to mount this via NFS on an Ubuntu desktop using fstab (for automounting)

Thanks

Could someone please assist with this? I am having a hell of a time adding/removing/swapping disks since I am unable to start array.

Attached are diag, though I don't think they show anything.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The diags have the array started; please post new ones once you run into the issue.

Also, this should be unrelated, but before reproducing the issue, toggle some settings so that this file gets created, e.g., toggle the SMB or NFS service and click Apply.

new diags attached. I did toggle NFS before stopping/attempting to restart.

I couldn't toggle SMB prior to this as it said SMB needed the array stopped to change:

That's fine; the share.cfg file now exists, but like I thought it wasn't related.

I'll ask Andrew directly to take a look when he can, in case he missed the report here.

@tjm spoke with Andrew, and he cannot reproduce it so far but is going to take a look.

Meanwhile, please confirm if, when that happens, you can start the array from the dashboard, since that uses a different mechanism.

Feedback time, if we add a remote SMB share it should mount immediately after running through the add wizard. I shouldn't have to troubleshoot for an hour wondering why my rsync command isn't working because I didn't think to CLICK the, MOUNT button.... after already going through the wizard to MOUNT the remote share!!!

No, this does not work either. Status bar shows "Array Stopped" and it does not attempt to start.

Hello,

I noticed that the option to enable compression on a encrypted btrfs disk is not shown.

It looks like a limitation in the GUI. I opened an issue on Github with screenshots and more details on my findings https://github.com/unraid/unassigned.devices/issues/4

My current workaround is to remount the partition with compression before using it

mount -o remount,compress=zstd /mnt/disks/<MY_DISK>

And then compression works, as checked with the `compsize` tool https://man.archlinux.org/man/compsize.8.en

Common Script:

gged in.

What am I doing wrong that it won't let me put anything in here? I've seen that the black theme might be an issue but I can't seem to make it whatever it wants to see.

My goal is to make in run a script from user scripts when a drive is plu

First let me start... yes, I do not know squat about this stuff.

I went to my server today and the drives were appearing to be mounting and unmounting repeatedly. I can tell that the drives were not literally mounting from the server drive sound, but the visual on the dashboard was this behavior. I pulled this from the log from the Plug-In. Any idea what could be causing this behavior? I still seem to be able to get to my apps as normal, but within the Unraid UI, it will will give me an Error 500 screen.

unraid: 7.2.4

Hi everyone,

I use unassigned devices to add a external usb-hdd for offsite backup reasons, which is formated via the unraid/unassigned devices gui to work as zfs encrypted. The reason for zfs is that the main purpose of the usb disk is to get backups in form of zfs snapshots from a "native" sata pool in the unraid server. In general the whole formating disk, inserting the password in the unassigned devices settings and even upgrading of the pool (otherweise zfs send drops an error) works flawless. But as soon as I start the zfs send, the unassigned device in the zfs gui shows the mount option, even while it is already in use and shows zfs instead of lurks. From this moment on, clean disconnect of the zfs disk requires cli use of zfs export and lurks "closing" of the disk. After this the gui state is consistent again. Now I am just wondering if the reason for this issue sits on the computer or if this is a kind of knowen behaviour. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

@tjm Did you ever get this resolved? Having the same issue, if I stop the array from the GUI and restart from GUI, the array will not start. If I remove the UD Plugin, have no issue. Diagnostics attached.
