Shares Disappearing from User Shares

[Boy Kai]

My shares continue to disappear after a couple of hours within the Web GUI. (screen shot attached)

 

If I go to my Cache, the shares are displayed but if I go to my Shares tab, those same shares are missing. This is causing my dockers to have access/permission errors and become useless.

 

A reboot will resolve the issue, for a couple hours at best.

 

 

Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Be sure to check if you have any lost+found share.

HI

 

I seem to have the same issue with the disappearing shares.

I ran the check Filesystem with -n parameter which was there ans got the result in the screenshot.

Can anyone help what should I do ?

Thanks

Run it again without -n, and if it asks for -L use it.

I ran it again without the -n and is the result:

 

 

What should I do next?

If you restart in normal mode then the drive should mount OK.    Look for a lost+found folder where the repair process will put any files/folders it found for which it could not find the directory entry giving the correct name.

Thank you itimpi for your help

I found 2 files in the lost+found... but they are in a unknown format...

What should I do with them? can they be restored?

In this case, you use your problem solving skills and try to figure out what type of file they might be.  Once you have an idea, you try to open them with programs that can normally read them.  If you are lucky, you might be able to salvage them.  

 

If you can't figure it out, Just delete the files and lost+found folder and thank your lucky stars that two files were all you lost.

The Linux ‘file’ command can be used to work out their likely content type which can be useful in working out what app can be used to open them for examination.  There is no automated way to work out the original name.  The reason a file gets put there in the first place (with the numeric name) is that the system was unable to work out what the name should be.  It takes manual inspection of the contents.

Thank you so much for your help.

I think/hope it fixed the disappearing shares which was the main goal.
