OK WE HAVE SOMETHING HERE. I have the file "shares" which Windows, despite displaying as a file, considers an unopenable folder (as I can't name a folder shares). I RENAMED that file to "shares1" I then created a new folder called "shares". I went to SMB and changed the settings and they stuck. So, long story short, it looks like I'll be able to go down the list and add whatever shares to SMB fresh and it should take.

Update: There is a file named "Shares" that doesn't associate itself as a folder. When trying to manually add a folder called "Shares" it says it isn't possible because there is already a folder name called Shares. Interesting. The USB originally replaced because it seemed to be going bad. Perhaps this is part of that.

This is the rub. There is no shares folder. The final folder in the list of folders is "pools". No shares. Yet, of course, I can see all of my shares in the shares section on Unraid.

Update: I have ported to a new USB drive to see if that is the problem - it is not. Still won't save any settings.

I will check this out. Also worth noting I am looking in the Flash Drive and config\data\ does not exist.

All are currently set to Array. However even if I wanted to change the settings, on "Save" it reverts back to the way it was.

It is set to that. Has been from the start... checked a bit ago.

Latest: Finding in the log lines like this: May 27 13:44:52 Monster emhttpd: error: put_config_idx, 609: Not a directory (20): fopen: /boot/config/shares/downloads.cfg

Thanks! Here's the diagnostic. And it turns out nothing changed in Shares settings saves/sticks. It all reverts back. monster-diagnostics-20250527-1355.zip

Hey there. Recently had an issue with a failing USB drive. Was able to recover the drive and get a new boot USB up and ready to go. Which is great. That said, I've had an issue with Shares ever since. I cannot change "Export" to "Yes" to get SMB up and running on my shares on SMB Security Settings on any of my shares. Having a hell of a time trying to figure out why. This is true for any settings I try to change in Shares. FWIW: I have run Docker Safe New Perms. UPDATE: Here's a list of some troubleshooting I have taken a crack at, along with the diags attached. Changed to a brand new USB drive Manually moved Cache to Array (there was stuff stuck there that couldn't move with Mover). I have since taken the cache offline for now. I have checked to make sure SMB is set to Yes (Workgroup). It is. I am able to change settings in other sections (like docker settings) and it will save. It is only in Shares. I made a dummy share to see if the new share could change the settings. It will not. monster-diagnostics-20250527-1355.zip
