Unraid Storage

Filesystem Requirement

Scrypted NVR requires storage on an ext4 or xfs filesystem (see Docker Volume). Unraid's default /mnt/user/ share paths use shfs, a FUSE userspace filesystem that pools multiple disks. Although the underlying disks may be formatted as XFS, Scrypted sees the FUSE layer rather than the native filesystem. This can cause recording failures due to how FUSE handles file operations used by the NVR recording system. See koush/scrypted#2015 for details.

  1. Configure a Recordings storage path within Unraid. The Host Path is the path to the storage on the Unraid host. The provided Container Path (a chosen path in the container like /nvr or /recordings) will be used for the recordings storage directory.
  2. The recordings storage directory can be configured within the Scrypted NVR Plugin Settings. Multiple Storage Devices can also be added.
  3. Continue on to Enable Camera Recording.
