(SOLVED) Blank share name appeared SMB won't start unable to rename/remove share...?

Featured Replies

I've searched the forums/internet, but had no luck finding a similar issue so I apologize if this is a repeat. 

This is on version 6.9.2 and I've attached screenshots, and diagnostic logs. 

 

I had a blank SMB share name (that I did not create) appear after mounting a remote SMB share via the CA plugin.

The mount was successful, and remote share is unchecked, however, there appears to now be a blank share at /mnt/user.

The dashboard doesn't seem to initialize and rebooting the array has not resolved the issue either.

Due to the escape character in the share name, I cannot browse the share via SSH.

Browsing via the GUI shows it's a recursive mount, clicking the user folder just goes to the user folder.

SMB will not start, 'Starting Services' shows every couple seconds at the bottom of the web browser. 

I receive warnings (from the 'Fix Common Errors' plugin) that the log dir is full after ~1 day, and I seem to be unable to remove the share. 

The #012.cfg file referenced in the log also does not exist.

How can I remove this blank share and resolve the issue so I can reshare files again?

If SSH doesn't work, have you tried temporarily enabling the FTP server to check what's inside the folder and even deleting it?

cfm21 - You are a wizard. That worked and solved my issue. Thank you so much for replying!

Glad I could help! I'm certainly no wizard, just someone who is used to a lot of janky fixes 😉
