Share Randomly Drops

[kizer]

I have a share on my unraid server named uploads. 

 

My windows PC talks to it and uploads things to it. For some odd reason it'll stay mapped and connected and work like a charm for weeks on end and then other times it'll just drop over night or a few hours later. So I login to unraid, change the security and then back and I can connect via my Windows 10 Pro machine. 

 

At one time I believe in my smb-extra.conf file I had something in it, but I removed it because of an older machine couldn't connect at all. 

 

Anyways what I'm asking for help on is there something I'm missing that I should re-add to keep my share from randomly dropping and not being connectable anymore. I know for sure a Windows Reboot doesn't fix it. I've not tried mapping it to another machine to see if it drops both or just the one machine. 

 

I do know for sure if I try to look for the upload folder in my \\192.168.7.x it doesn't show up at all even if its set to public, but other shares do. This particular share is a Cache only share and I don't know if that makes a difference at all. Maybe my SSD is glitching some or something?

Probably there's nothing logged but do you know at what time it happened last?

Honestly no. I'll have to keep checking and hopefully be able to nail it down to a time frame and share another report. Like I said its bizarre. It'll go weeks or even months with no problem then happen two days in a row and then weeks or days again.

If there's nothing logged you can increase Samba log level by going to Settings -> SMB -> SMB Extras and adding:

 

log level = 3
logging = syslog

Then check/post the syslog after it happens, note that Samba will get very chatty so it can fill it up after a few hours.
