April 9, 201115 yr I had an issue where I ran out of memory and I think unRAID killed Samba. I did a Samba stop and Samba start, and at some point attempted to use unMenu to stop the array. After rebooting, the cache drive mounts, and I can still access is via telnet, all the files are present, but it appears empty over Samba. Syslog attached. Thanks in advance for your help, Neil. syslog-2011-04-09.txt

You'll probably need to reboot to get it back showing as usual.

April 10, 201115 yr I have the same issue. All the folders are there but no files are listed when looking over the network using SAMBA. I'm in the process of upgrading my server and starting with a fresh install. Will post back afterwards if anything changes. Amerzel
April 10, 201115 yr Doing this fixed it for me: i did some more googling, and found this one liner to sort out my file permissions: find /mnt/disk[1-4] -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; Taken from http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=10461.0 Thanks, Amerzel

This is a script for /mnt/disk1-4 isn't it? I also aready did a chmod -R 777 /mnt/cache/
April 10, 201115 yr Author You'll need: find /mnt/cache -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; Unfortunately, that made no difference, even after rebooting. This may display the problem better -- I can copy files from the cache drive to a drive in the array over telnet and open them fine over samba once they are on the other drive, but can't access them directly on the cache drive over samba: I've also tried accessing them from 3 different Windows machines, in case it was a client issue -- it's not.

The cache drive is 320GB, so this is wrong: Yep it's the way Samba is mapping the file permissions to Windows file attributes (I really need to write a wiki article on this!). Background on what is happening is available here. Note the below commands will reset the permissions for ALL files and directories on your cache drive. If that is not acceptable (ie some directories/files need different permissions) you need to know that before running those commands as there is no undo and modify the commands as appropriate... To fix current files: for files: find /mnt/cache/ -type f -exec chmod 700 {} + for dirs: find /mnt/cache/ -type d -exec chmod 711 {} + I'm not sure what caused the file permissions to get changed on your drive, this usually crops up when mounting a drive via CIFS/SMB on the unRaid server and copying files over. Anyway once you run those commands above the file permissions should look like -rwx------ and similar for directories. Windows can't get network drive sizes right to save its life. MS should just give up on showing the number considering it is wrong 99.9999999% of the time
April 10, 201115 yr Author That made no difference. I don't think it's Samba permissions, it must be a Samba mounting issue, but I don't know enough about Linux to fit it myself. Where are the Limetech support people?
April 10, 201115 yr Post the output of testparm -s If the permissions changed when you ran the find commands, samba should be exposing the files, if the permissions didn't change you got other problems. Official support is via email, Limetech monitors the boards some but it you want official support you have to request it.

Official support is via email, Limetech monitors the boards some but it you want official support you have to request it. I checked the permissions afterwards, they did change, but cache is still appearing empty. I know most of the people helping out here are unpaid unRAID users, but someone from Limetech should come here occasionally to provide support when those users are stumped.

April 10, 201115 yr Map hidden and map system are both enabled so having the file perms set to 777 would definitely cause the files on the cache share to be exposed as hidden files to a windows box. Try mounting the cache/Backups share as a drive on the windows box net use x: \\MICRO\cache\Backups then get the attributes of some of the files attrib Firefox* and post the result. I'm guessing your going to see something like A SH Z:\newfile.txt showing the hidden and system flags set. You shouldn't need to restart samba for the permissions to change but you do need to refresh your view (F5) if you had the share open in an explorer window.

April 10, 201115 yr You got me. Even with the smbd process being terminated abnormally, the config shouldn't have gotten jacked and since you've removed the world execute bit there's no reason for samba to mark the files as hidden. Hopefully someone else has another idea. I am curious to know what the problem ends up being...
April 10, 201115 yr Author Try entering "chmod 711 /mnt/cache/Backups" to make Backups visible to Windows. No dice. The whole drive is missing from Samba. I think we can chmod until we're blue in the face, and it'll do nothing.

There was a folder on the cache drive called "cache". I deleted it and stopped and started the array and all is well. Thanks! There are a load of user shares that are created because they are on the cache drive. Is there a way of excluding the cache drive from user shares? I couldn't see anything in the settings.
April 10, 201115 yr If you are using the cache as temp storage try making a single share for it. You can make a hidden directory starting with a period (.temp for example) to use as temp storage and it will never be moved to the array. Just set Windows so it will show hidden files. Peter
April 10, 201115 yr There are a load of user shares that are created because they are on the cache drive. Is there a way of excluding the cache drive from user shares? No, in fact, its primary role in life is to merge its contents, including new top level folders as new user-shares. About all you can do is set each of those "new" user shares as not exported, or hidden on the user-shares page. Joe L.
