User shares missing - 6.9.2

[Duggie264]

BLUF: User Shares Missing. in MC mnt/user is missing, mnt/user0 is there and there is a ?user in red. Server has not yet been restarted (only array stop/started)

 

Good evening,

 

I had 13x256GB, 1x1TB SSD and 1x1TB NVME in a giant cache pool.

With multiple cache pools now a thing, I wanted to break down my cache and sort out my shares as follows:

 

Get Rid of old cache pool:

Disabled Docker and VM 

Set all my shares to Cache: Yes.

Called in Mover to move everything to the array* **

Shut down the array.

Removed all drives from the cache pool, then deleted it.

 

* When mover finished there were still some appdata files in Cache and Disk 2 so I spun up MC via ssh and did the following:

1. mnt/disk2/appdata ---> mnt/disk10/

2. mnt/cache/appdata ---> mnt/disk10/

 

**When I exited MC and returned to the GUI window I noticed that all my user shares had disappeared (Ahhh F%$£!)

I immediately downloaded diagnostics - the one ending 2305

 

I then spent a bit of time looking for similar errors - wasn't massively concerned as all data is still there.

 

Create New Cache Pools

Created the 4 new cache pools. Set the FS to XFS for the single drives and Auto for the actual pools

Started the array back up and formatted everything to mount them again.

 

Still no User shares - immediately downloaded diagnostics again - the one ending 2355

 

on looking in MC I see this:

 

no User on the left, but User0 on the right shows the Shares structure still there.

I fully accept that I may have done something wrong/stupid etc, but have three questions:

 

1. Can someone help? and if so

2. How do I recover my Shares and

3. What did I do that actually screwed it up (as I do like to learn, albeit painfully)

 

Many thanks in anticipation of your assistance!

add info about not restarting entire server

[Squid]

I don't see what started it.  Your recovery is to reboot and go from there.

Yeah I couldn't either - just wanted to ask first this time, rather than waiting until I am deeply mired in a rebooted server with no Array, no Diagnostics and all I have is a sheepish grin!

Good news (Phew) rebooted and restarted Array and all is looking good so far!
