HI there,

 

I've moved a lot of files to my unraid lately... and just recently, i've noticed they are not showing up via the samba share.

 

if I manually look on the server, it is there, but if i search via windows exporer, it is not.  i've checked on a few machines, and even a couple of linux ones... and they are not showing up.

 

Any ideas?

line 6 doesn't show up when viewing in the share...

To see it you'll need to set file-explorer to make visible both "hidden" and "system" files.  (or change the permissions on the files)

 

The issue is the way SAMBA maps the unix permissions to Window's attributes.

Actually, I think it was the permissions on the file itself...

 

I just changed it to:

chmod 777 -R /mnt/user/tv/justified/*

 

and i can see them now.

 

 

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I'm also having the same problem.  The files are not shown on my data drives but SABnzbd, SickBeard, Yamj all see the files and if I navigate through my media streamer, they play.  I tried using the following command 

chmod 777 -R /mnt/user/TVShows/Being Human (US)/*

but I get the following error

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

 

Any help please?

 

Thanks!

Try some quote marks like this:

chmod 777 -R "/mnt/user/TVShows/Being Human (US)/"*

 

or escape the spaces and parens like this

chmod 777 -R /mnt/user/TVShows/Being\ Human\ \(US\)/*

 

added missing backslash.

 

This still may not work though, thinking more about it, since the trailing "*" will be expanded by the shell first, and if any of the sub-directories have a special character the file names passed to the "cp" command will be wrong.

 

Probably most correct to just leave the trailing "*" off since you are doing the chmod recursively. Like this:

chmod 777 -R /mnt/user/TVShows/Being\ Human\ \(US\)/

or escape the spaces and parens like this

chmod 777 -R /mnt/user/TVShows/Being\ Human \(US\)/*

 

I think that should be

 

chmod 777 -R /mnt/user/TVShows/Being\ Human\ \(US\)/*

 

(extra \ after Human)

I just tried

chmod 777 -R /mnt/user/TVShows/Being\ Human\ \(US\)/

but now all files in that folder are hidden.  

 

 

I have a season folder, Season 1.

Do I need to make it, chmod 777 -R /mnt/user/TVShows/Being\ Human\ \(US\)/Season\ 1/  ?

Tried it and still nothing.  Files are there since they play on my media streamer (c200) and I see them using MC. but navigating through windows explorer shows the folder empty.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

See the link in my signature for what to do on hidden files.

Thanks! adding the file in your link worked.
