Hello everyone! I have a big problem.
I am new to unraid and I setup my first server 3 weeks ago
I have 2x 16tb Drives (seagate ironwolf pro). Parity is ok
I have a share called media
Inside is my music folder with ~300 gb files.
I wanted to listen to some music now, but my media player didn't showed me any files. I checked my media share and I saw that I have 2 music folders now
music and MUSIC
Both are empty! All my music is gone (no other folder is affected).
Is there a log file somewhere so I can check what happened? Can I restore the files somehow? I definitely didn't delete them myself :(
The files were there on the weekend! 

edit: seems like this is an issue on windows.

when I enter ls -l /mnt/user/media/MUSIC I see all my music and the /mnt/user/media/music folder seems to be empty.

Can someone tell me what I should do so I don't lose anything?

SMB is case insensitive, you can only have one of those folders, if one of them is empty locally, just delete that one, if both have files move them to just one, and delete the other.

I was dying 1000 deaths here now because I thought I will lose everything. :D

windows definitely showed me MUSIC and music and windows both showed me they are empty
but deleting music on unraid solved it and now everything is back. 

thank you very much ❤️
