Try removing the preclear plugin.

Hello forum...  This is a great plugin and i've been using it for years.  However, recently I've been having trouble keeping a specific share mounted using the SMB option, as it will unmount itself after some time.  All other SMB shares mounted work perfectly.  I see the unRAID syslog entry when the share is mounted, but no syslog entry when the share unmounts itself.   The UD log button to the right of my affected share shows no entries.  

 

I did see this in the guidance in the OP, but I dont see the same option in the most recent version of UD (2019.10.18):

 

"There is a log file available that will log any errors from running your script file.  It is located at /tmp/ and is by the serial number or label of your drive/SMB Mount point.  You can test your disk script in a window.  Click on the Identification (serial number) when the disk is mounted and you'll see a lightning bolt.  Click on the lightning bolt and a window will open and run your drive script.  You'll then see any errors in your script and can make changes to fix the errors."

 

I'd like assistance with this issue, but not quite sure which log(s) to provide.  Please assist if possible, thanks!

Is this an external USB drive? Sometimes they will put themselves to sleep due to inactivity.

Actually no!  I'm using UD in this case to mount a share from my 2nd unRAID NAS.  Specifically so I can backup my VM vdisks with the unraid-autovmbackup script.   I plug the UD mount point (/mnt/disks/TOWERII_backupshare) into the "backup_location" script variable.  But every 1-2 days the share keeps un-mounting. 

 

My primary request at this point is for assistance finding out how to run the script file for errors per the guidance in the OP.  I see this option next to the physical disks I have mounted with UD, but not for the SMB shares I have mounted.  I know i'm missing something simple here....

You won't see anything logged for a SMB share, just a physical disk.  Your remote share is probably going off-line.

 

Post your diagnostics.

Sure thing! I can grab diagnostics from the remote server as well, if needed.

Several issues:

 

This message occurs when you have left an open browser session when rebooting the server:

Be sure to close all browser sessions when you reboot the server.

 

You need to look at these FCP warnings and fix them:

It looks like CIFS VFS is having a problem.  It also appears that you are unmounting and re-mounting the shares constantly manually.

 

Fix the FCP issues, reboot the server, mount the shares and then capture the diagnostics right after the shares disconnect.  Your constant mounting and unmounting the shares makes it hard for me to see what is happening.

Edited November 1, 20187 yr by dlandon

Understood!  Thanks a bunch for helping on this.  FCP issues cleared, except for Driver Controller error.  I have the standard SUPERMICRO AOC-SASLP-MV8 raid controller recommended when I first built my system back in 2012.  I will follow up with diagnostics once the share disconnects.

Afternoon all. I'm trying to attach my unraid machine to a windows share however when i try and add the share:

 

It takes me back to this page, and it is still blank.

 

 

Any ideas?

 

Many Thanks.

The '$' is not allowed in the share name.

That is how windows hides shares. Is there no way of mounting the share with the "$" in it?

It is possible to mount, but I believe the '$' character caused some issues in the share name with UD, so It is not allowed by UD.  I don't intend to make any changes to accommodate the '$' character.  Rename the share.

I've renamed some shares, but I have children with laptops, so ideally don't want all of my shares open.

 

Thanks for the help.

This is a shame. Thanks for the help though. I've got it working, but don't like the fact that the shares are now not only visible on my media server, but also on unraid too. I don't like shares "easily visible" it's just too easy for my 7/10/11 year olds to stumble across them.

Thanks.

In samba settings for a share, if your add:

browseable = No

Then the share will not show up in windows Explorer.  Not sure if UD can make this happen, but that's the way to solve it.

Set the Settings->Unassigned Devices->SMB Security to 'Yes (Hidden)' and the Unraid shares will be hidden and not browseable.

Thanks. using these settings I can hide the Unraid shares like this, but the windows shares are still "browseable", but the windows shares are now visible.

 

Never mind. Really appreciate the help.

Linux really isn't something I'm familiar with.

You can use this, there are some limitations but it works:
