tulathirac Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi have an interesting issue that i've been trying to work through for about a month and i've made zero progress. About a month ago, i noticed that when i goto //tower/media i can only see one folder (which is empty and it shouldn't be). When i go to my unraid i should see a number of folders. When i go into shares in unraid i can see everything fine . I have attached photo's to show the problem im having. My questions is. How can i get my folders to be visible through Windows Explorer again? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Do you have a share "media" and say another share named "Media"? Post your diagnostics Quote Link to comment
tulathirac Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 It appears there is both a Media and media folder. Attached is the Diag. tower-diagnostics-20210421-1459.zip Quote Link to comment

In such a case you will find that one of those folders appears under the share contents and the other will not. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 It's basically a Windows problem because it does not support a share named "Media" and one named "media" at the same time. But since Unraid actually does, when exporting over a network it has to pick one or the other otherwise very strange things happen in Windows when accessing it. What you need to do is copy all those files from the one that's exported ("media") somewhere else (your desktop), then delete the share, then copy all the files back into the share that now will appear. You should also check / figure out how that other share got created in the first place. Probably a docker app is creating it, so you'll see in one of the templates a mapping to /mnt/user/media Quote Link to comment
tulathirac Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Ah i gotcha. thinking about it, it started when the new Sonarr client was pushed. I'll take a look and see. The problem i have with moving the files out of that share is the shear about of data. I'll see what i can do. Quote Link to comment
