[SOLVED] Remove mount not working

littlebone

In order to demonstrate adding a new source to a friend, I used an inaccessible remote directory. The source was added OK; but of course I could not connect to it. Having finished the demo, I wanted to delete the source entry. Although there is an unmount link in the UI, I cannot get the drive to unmount. It appears even if I refresh and also it is still there when I reboot.

Is this a bug or a user error?
Is there a way to manually remove the mount so it doesn't reappear across a reboot?

Hi littlebone,
where does the removed mount still appear, in the Library or in the Sources section?
For the first issue, just navigate to /mnt/MPD/NAS (from command line or from a SFTP client) and remove the unwanted folder.

Andrea:
The 'removed' mount appears in the Sources section. Because it points to a non-existent network directory, it never got mounted and so didn't appear in the library section.

I deleted the mount point directory, but the source still appears in the Sources. But now when I select it, I get the message: "Unable to find suitable address."

Hi littlebone,

try this:

- go to the Sources section
- click on the mount you want to remove
- get the number from the URL

http://192.168.0.183/sources/edit/4

- go to the command line (SSH) and execute this command:

redis-cli del mount_4

Now the mount should be gone.

It would be great to get more info for debugging purposes.
- Source name
- Fileshare protocol
- IP address
- Remote directory name

Thank you, that removed the bad source.

Here were the parameters of that source for debugging purposes:
Source name: Test
Fileshare protocol: SMB/CIFS
IP Address: 192.168.1.103
Remote Directory Name: tumult/tumultd/Downloads

I was setting this source up just to review my setup with someone on the phone doing a new setup. I did this just so I could follow along with what he was doing. The directory was/is inaccessible as it was on a Windows machine --- named 'tumult' --- and not available without a proper logon-id. I saved it thinking that I could just delete it after I was finished helping my friend.

I have tried to edit the mount to point it to the same remote source as my music files. that source is a removable drive connected to my router's USB ports. It works just fine. But I cannot edit the Test source because any changes I make are discarded when I press the save button.
