Hi everyone, 

 

I recently decided to build myself a NAS and quit with all the external SSD. I went with Unraid and am currently in my trial period. Everything went smoothly, a nice learning curve and great videos from spaceinvader_one... until I finished copying all my external drives on my array. 

 

I configured my users and shares, and when I wanted to access some of the files on my computer (Mac OS Big Sur), I noticed that some of my folder are empty, while others, on the same share, appear and show content. I checked the SMB settings, everything seems to be fine; I checked the file system in maintenance mode, no problem; I restarted the array, and then the NAS; I "forced quit" finder, and relaunched my computer... Still the same folders are empty. I know the files are on the disk, as when I open the Krusader plugin in the webGUI, the files are present. I know it is not a problem with my shares, as I have access to some of the files on the shares via my MacBook, while others are missing. I checked the files names, and although some could pose a problem with SMB, I have more than 20 000 tracks in the "empty" folder, so if it was a problem with the name of the files, at least some of the files would appear. 

 

The share is "Music" (I have access to that share from my MacBook) - 3 folders are on that share : FLAC; music; musique - I can see the contents of the FLAC and musique folders; only the "music" one appears as empty. 

 

Could someone please help me? Being new to Unraid, I would love to really start using it and configure my music streamers and servers. 

 

Thank you in advance, 

 

Lucas

Found the answer to the problem. Problem came from the indexing on the Macbook. Had to manually delete all the DS_store and ._ files stored on the unraid shares via the following script : 

 

#!/bin/bash

# Version .1 - remove .DS_Store files and ._* files

 

# ========================================================================== #

# Program Body                                                               #

# ========================================================================== #

echo "Removing .DS_Store and ._.DS_Store files"

find /mnt/disk1 -name .DS_Store -print -delete

find /mnt/disk1 -name "._*" -print -delete

 

I also vetoed all these files in the samba extra configuration

 

everything went back to normal and I can now access all of my files via the finder.
