[SOLVED] Shares configuration not piked up.

[11011san]

Hi, I have been running an Unraid server for 7 months now and upgraded to the new version. When I restarted the server it looked ok. With my docker containers came up and responding normally. Then I realized that from my main computer I had access to no shares. I checked the UI and couldn't see any at all shares. shares are turned on as far as I could see. I found the config files in /flash/config/shares/ and I find the data. I found some post about similar things, and tryied restarted as they suggested about 3-4 times tried restoring the old version. but still in the same state with no shares. Restarted 2-3 times in the old version same thing. Never any shares.

Remove this line from config/share.cfg:

 

shfs_logging="1"

 

I seem to remember this could cause issues.

I have now tried restarting with the line commented out and set to 0. Neither has made my shares appear.

Thank you for the suggestion any more?

Not really, /mnt/user is working and don't see any shfs errors, is it the same if you boot in safe mode?

Just to check that you do not have a ad-blocker installed in your browser?   While this would not explain the shares not being visible on the network it could explain them not being visible in the webGUI.  Some ad-blockers do not seem to like the Shares tab in the webGUI   If you do have such an ad-blocker installed then you need to whitelist the unRaid server to fix displaying the Shares in the webGUI.

I have now tried safe mode no change.

I have been able to see the shares before and haven't added any adblocker since then and the fact that the shares are not showing up when connecting via windows shares but flash means there is probably some stupid underlying reason.

 

But thank you both for your suggestions any more?

Are you accessing the server by name or IP address from your main computer?    If using server name it might be worth trying the IP address in case there are some name resolution issues.   If your server has a fixed IP address then using the IP address always seems to be more reliable.

The hostname is set into my DNS and is stable. But I did try the IP address and it the same. If the host was wrong I wouldn't be able to connect or connect to the wrong machine but I do see flash share so I know it is the correct machine.

 

Thank you for the suggestion any more?

Those are wrong, it should be:

 

drwxrwxrwx  1 nobody users

 

 

[JorgeB]

As should all the shares.

Thank you JorgeB, that was the problem. I reset the directory to 777 and all appeared again with a restart.

Thank you very much. I was really confused about this problem.
I'll try upgrading again now.

[11011san]

yes upgrade was ok now thank you agen.
