This is straight from FCP Warnings Found Suggested Fix Share S is set for both included (disk2,disk3,disk4,disk5,disk6) and excluded (disk7,disk8) disks While if you're careful this isn't a problem, there is absolutely no reason ever to specify BOTH included and excluded disks. It is far easier and safer to only set either the included list or the excluded list.

Fix Common Problems This only diagnosed the problem my error. It was set under User Shares in the GUI

I certainly tried to make changes from within the plugin

No adjustments and yes they are from the flash drive

As requested, I think you were addressing this request to me. S.cfg P.cfg

Yes, It gives me the warning for both shares P and S. I have rebooted as well. I could put a couple of disks in those to slots and see if that will allow me to "uncheck" those disks, however I have formatted them to be backup disks NTFS. Will that be a problem?

Here are the diagnostics. tower-diagnostics-20170406-1153.zip

Available slots and my disk number are the same number in my system. I forget that I organize things a little differently than most people. The slot number is the disk number so slot number 7 is disk number 7. Now that I have finished the conversions there isn't a disk 7 or 8 in the system.

I have recently upgrades my system from 4.7 to 6.3.2 and have upgraded several disks from 2 to 4TB. Current configuration is: 6 data XFS 1 cache BTRFS 1 parity 2 empty slots disks 7 & 8 (used for preclearing, copying etc. 2 shares P and S I went through the conversion process from rfs to xfs. In that process there was a recommendation to have both include in each plus exclude slots 7 & 8 (disk). I have an error for both shares saying I am including and excluding and to correct this. Both share indicate that neither share is excluding any disks. However it also only shows 6 disks not 8. How can I correct this?

There wasn't a file or directory. I removed the directory from the command line rm -r /mnt/disk3/disk3 The disk3 share is now gone Thank-you

It is empty. The problem is that I can't delete the folder. The folder did not show up on disk3 until I rebooted the server.

Sorry for the delay tree.txt

I am using the command line from th console

That is the display I saw but not clear how to copy and paste to the forum

disk3 shows up under disk3 -S -disk3 user0 -disk3 user -disk3 the "-" is to signify a subdirectory

Regrettably, I rebooted the server. tree /mnt -L 2 This is the recommendation from "Fix Common Problems" While there *may be* (doubtful) valid use cases for having a share named identically to a disk share, this is only going to cause some confusion as if disk shares are enabled, then you will have duplicated share names, and possibly if disk shares are not enabled, then you might not be able to gain access to the share. This is usually caused by moving the contents of one disk to another (XFS Conversion?) and an improperly placed slash. The solution is to move the contents of the user share named disk3 to be placed within a validly named share. Ask for assistance on the forums for guidance on doing this. Under user0 /.. /s /p /disk3 No files or directories under disk3 /mnt/disk3 /s /disk3 No files or directories under disk3

Error can't do a /mnt/disk3/disk3 only able to do /mnt/disk3 on both sides

OK. It just didn't seem right to copy to itself. Thanks for the clarification

I want to be sure that I get this one right the first time. S is my video parent directory on all video disks In MC Left Panel (physical disk) /mnt/disk3/disk3 highlight S Right Panel /mnt/user0/disk3/S Move from the rigth panel to the left panel?? I need to clarify this, as I read your directions it appears that I go to the physical disk on both left and right panels and move it to itself /mnt/disk3/disk3/S to /mnt/disk3/disk3. I would have thought that I would move files from /mnt/user0/disk3/S to /mnt/disk3/disk3 which I would need to swap panels to move file from left to right.

I have a lot to learn. It is apparent that I need to learn all the different ways to skin this cat. RE: disk3 share I opened mc and there it is under User 0 is disk3 share. To delete, it I will need to delete the entire disk and restore from a backup. Is there and easier way?

I did preclear the disk because I could not get the format button to appear with the rfs drive after it was copied. As I have said I don't mind preclearing 6 year old drives to make sure they are healthy and still have reliable life in them. I know that formating does not write zeros to the drive but perhaps it should.

I think it is implied when you format the disk. In effect it is all zeros and a new previous prepared drive is also all zeros. ???? And the difference is? Back to one of my original questions is you "can you upgrade drives (plural) and convert to xfs." I have said many times that, if I can't maintain parity, it is no big deal. I copy an old drive to a new drive. Repeat until the new drives are install and each one has the correct files on each disk and the are in their designated slot. Format the old drives to xfs and repeat the process until all the rfs drives have been replaced . Build parity. Done. Copying should take a lot less time since I am not updating parity. As I have asked before is maintaining parity "mission critical" for all users. If you don't have a backup, maybe. Storage is cheap and Icy Dock 4 in 3 are inexpensive and makes life real easy. What else are you going to do with the drives after you do your upgrades that still have life in them? Buy a few more on eBay. Now perhaps you understand why I thought the process was convoluted. What you are saying is you can only introduce one new drive. Copy format repeat reusing the drive rfs drive and going through your whole array. My method would be preclear all the new drives and format them xfs. Let's use 2 new 4TB drives. Unassign parity drive. Copy one of the old 2TB drives to a new 4TB drive, repeat for second drive. Swap places for the drives and format or preclear and format the drives if you want make sure they are still reliable and repeat the process of copying until you have worked through your whole array. Build parity. Done. I guess that's about 4 cents worth.

If you follow through the process, after you swap the new drive with all the files copied on it then you format the old RFS drive as XFS (formatting would destroy parity) or you could put another drive in that is already formated XFS (Like a larger drive) and repeat the process. Read the last several steps.
