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

Featured Replies

Hi,

I'm new to unraid and i've got Unassigned devices plugin installed. I've got a couple of Unraid shares and they're accessible fine, i'm trying to get a drive share that is under the unassigned devices section. I've mounted it and enabled share but it's not appearing as a share if i go to \\tower.

 

Any ideas?

  • It's that self healing feature I built into UD.  It just fixes itself.

  • New release of UD.  Changes: When changing the mount point (which is also the share name), the mount point is checked for a duplicate of a user share or another UD device.  Samba cannot handle

Are you trying to do SMB? Probably unless you are trying to access it from another Linux box. What do you have for Settings - Unassigned Devices - SMB Security?

Yeah SMB - I'm trying to access it from a windows pc. For SMB security I have it set to No.

I've attached it. It's the drive that's around 8TB through usb that is NTFS partitioned that i'm trying to share the complete drive through unassigned devices.

From syslog it looks like you initially mounted it without the share switch on. Then later you unmounted it. Have you tried mounting it after turning on the share switch?

Yeah - i've tried a couple of times. I've mounted it with it off, then turning share on once mounted and then trying to mount it with it turned on.

hey guys love the plugin but it needs an update for unRAID 6.6 the buttons for remote smb/nfs connections are HUGE, can you look into this?

The black theme capitalizes the button text and that expands the size of the button.  LT has committed to include the UD functionality into native Unraid and they can deal with it then.  I don't have the time to chase all the changes in every Unraid version and maintain backwards compatibility.

Try setting SMB Security to 'Yes' and set permissions.

It may take a few minutes for the share to actually show in \\Tower.

I asked about it they said to reach out to the developer of the plugin.

I backdated to 6.5.3 anyways due to a plethora of issue i was having with 6.6

As a quick fix, I shortened the text.

Trying to add a remote SMB share from my Windows desktop. UD finds the share just fine, and it shows up in the UD section on the main Unraid screen, but I can't mount the share. The mount button is grayed out. I don't think it's a security problem, as I've tried all the permutations of security settings in UD settings.

Hi all,

 

since the unraid 6.6.0 update I've been having issues with NFS shares mounted by the unassigned devices plugin. I've got 2 unraid servers. Server B mounts a couple of NFS shares on server A and runs a number of rsync scripts on a schedule to push new/modified files to server A. It looks like these NFS mounts become "stale" pretty quickly. Right after a server reboot manually triggering my sync scripts works just fine. A day later, rsync hangs at "sending incremental file list" and I'm unable to "cd" to the NFS mount points.

 

Any clues on how to fix this problem are appreciated.

 

I'm currently on unraid 6.6.1 on both of my servers. Unassigned devices plugin version is 2018.09.23.

Also, I'm still able to manually mount the NFS shares from the command line.

 

Cheers!

Check the 6.6.1 release thread.  Some users are reporting NFS share issues that probably relates to your problem.  I doubt this is a UD issue.

Done. Thank you!

Update: I downgraded  both my servers back to v. 6.5.3 and the problem persists. Let me know if you need specific information/logs.

Post diagnostics.

Yes it should.  Uninstall  UD and see if the drive temperature shows.

I have this issue. I updated to 6.6.1, added my WD black 512GB nvme, smartctl displays the temperature but Unassigned Devices does not.

Give a screen shot of the smart attributes showing the temperature.

Hi again,

 

what I don't understand is this. When I go to the unraid main tab, I see the "Please wait, retrieving information ..." message from unassigned devices.

This takes forever, in the syslog I see this:

These are obviously all timing out, so something is definetly up.

 

When I connect to the unraid server running unassigned devices via ssh and manually mount one of those NFS shares, it works without a problem

in these situations. I can list the contents of the share and copy stuff to/from it. So the server is not offline but somehow

the mounts done by unassigned devices become inaccessible after a while.

 

I'm not sure where to go from here.

 

Adding to this: When I do a lazy unmount of the unassigned devices mounts I'm afterwards able to remount them again with 

the mount buttons on the unraid main page.
