I just put 4.3-beta1 on my box.  Booted it back up, and everything looked good.

 

Then I decided to activate user shares - something I had been meaning to do.  Stopped array, activated the shares, restarted.

 

Now, whenever I switch to the shares tab, I get a black screen and apparently the webserver has crashed.  Everything else still working.

 

Here's what my syslog shows:

The s/w somehow thinks you have 539128952 user shares 

 

You might need to manually edit the 'config/share.cfg' file on the Flash (/boot/config/share.cfg via telnet), and disable user shares.  Change the line that reads:

 

shareUser=e

 

to

 

shareUser=-

 

Next, reboot and system should come up again without user shares enabled.  Now, I need to see the top level directories of your disks.  From a telnet session, type this:

 

ls /mnt

 

There will be an entry in there for each of your data disks.  You need to do this for each disk:

 

ls -a /mnt/disk1

ls -a /mnt/disk2

 

etc.

 

Do this for each disk.  Capture the screen output and send to me: [email protected]

 

thanks.

Sorry for the delay - just got home from work and sent the info.  I definitely don't have half a billion directories.  In fact, they are  very few directories, and none of the files or dirs  really any special characters other than spaces.

 

I may have some files with unicode characters a few levels down, but wouldn't think that would matter.

 

One other piece of info - I did enable user-level security.  As soon as I finish some large copies, I'll try disabling that and see if anything changes.

 

 

Please try 4.3-beta2.

That resolved it as expect.  Much appreciated!
