February 6, 201214 yr My apologies if this is in the wrong spot. For v5 Beta it indicates to use a subforum, but I can't seem to find one. Background: I have a production Unraid box running v4.5.1 with 14x 1TB data drives and 1 parity drive. Lately I have been working on setting up a new box running Unraid 5 (currently beta 14). It has 20 2TB data drives (+1 parity, +1 cache though I have both of these disabled while I've been troubleshooting my issue). The Problem: For use with various media players user shares makes life easier. On my current system I have such shares spanned across all 14 drives. On the new system if I try to enable user shares (Settings | Share Settings: Yes | Apply) The system hangs (web interface & any SMB shares) with the following text at the bottom of the web interface: Stop SMB... The system is still responsive via telnet at that point. After much experimenting, I found that if I manually included disk1 the system would not hang. I could continue to add disks (eg disk1,disk2,disk3, etc) without seeing this behavior up through disk11. When I add disk12 (or any 12th disk if I skip a prior one) the behavior occurs again. I'm at a loss of where to go at this point. Does anyone have any ideas for things to check or change? This box can be wiped out or changed as needed as it has no data I need to keep.

I would upgrade to unRAID 4.7. The original limit on the number of disks in an array was 12, You might be hitting an old bug. (I don;t remember it, but I never had all 12 disks populated when on your version of unRAID)
February 6, 201214 yr Author Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I must have been unclear. The 4.5.1 box has 14 data drives and the user shares span all 14. It's the 5.0 beta 14 system with 20 data drives that seems to hang if more than 11 are included in a user share.
February 6, 201214 yr Give us a full hardware breakdown on the new box. Motherboard, RAM, PSU, HDD's, etc please.
