I am encountering a strange issue today. Earlier I needed to shuffle some drives around and rebuilt my cache drive. I had 2 drives in a ZFS pool for my primary cache and then an additional 6 drives in another ZFS pool. I had different shares using each pool as their primary storage with the array as secondary. Using the mover I moved everything off both ZFS pools to the array, deleted the ZFS pools and then created another ZFS pool named Cache with all 8 drives (Z2 pool). I started the array and set the mover to move my appdata and system shares to the newly created ZFS pool. No problems at all. the mover ran without issues dumping all my files over.

 

I left it and when I came back later and went to set my other shares to do the same thing I noticed that the appdata and system shares were no longer listed. The files were on the cache drive and I could start up my docker containers without issue even with no share listed. Than I looked into my other shares and I was not able to select the cache drive at all as a location for those other shares. It shows it exists, but I am not able to select it as an option for either the primary or secondary storage location. It is just greyed out and I am unable to click on it. 

 

I did make the mistake of not changing the shares to array only prior to deleting the share. However, any documentation I have found says I should be able to do that after the fact without any issue. In addition, if I attempt to create a new share, the same thing happens and I am unable to select the cache ZFS pool as a storage location. It is greyed out as well and unable to be selected. 

 

Any assistance is appreciated. 

 

I have included a couple of screenshots for context as well as my logs. And yes, I have fully rebooted the server as well.

EDIT: I did some more playing around and recreated the original pools and removed the old pools from the storage options. But I am still having the same problem. For some reason it is coming up as a disk share instead of a cache pool.

Please post the diagnostics.

I'm an idiot I figured it out. I didn't say yes for allow user share. 

 

However, I did try and delete this topic hours ago and for some reason it didn't delete.

That's what I suspected, the diags would confirm, glad it's resolved.
