My sharing settings in /data no longer show the options.

 

This happened after changing the option from High-Water to Most Free, as one of my disks was always full and the others remained below half full. Can anyone help me?

Attach Diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread. 

Here is the diagnostic file

Floor setting is invalid:

 

shareFloor="10GB"

 

Did you enter this using the GUI or manually?

 

To correct the issue edit /config/shares/data.cfg and set it to 10000000

I edited the file and now the settings are showing.

I enter it using the WebGUI.

Thank you very much

Do you remember what value you entered exactly? '10GB' would be converted to 10000000

Hi - I am having the same issue.   I have a share with a 'blank' settings page in the GUI.

 

I checked in /config/shares and there is no "data.cfg" file...as I was going update it as suggested above.

 

any ideas?

 

thanks

Please post the diagnostics.
 

see attached

 

probably a lot of other stuff going on in there as I am working on other issues right now ..

--trying to convert BTRFS to ZFS cache pool

--moving data of disk 3 as have a smart error

also - the share that does not work is "pictures"

all of the other shares have correct settings page

There appears to be a Pictures cfg file, post the output from:

 

ls -l /boot/config/shares

 

But don't see any data cfg, post a screenshot from the share settings for that share.

Hi - misunderstanding on data.cfg- that was specific to the OP.

 

for my issue with pictures - see below screenshot of the settings page for it, and for pictures.cfg contents.

 

thanks

You can delete the .cfg file for that share and it will have default settings which you should be able to edit.

thanks - I can see the settings now.

 

any idea why minimum free space is zero? and what it should be ?

That is the default historically.   There is no ‘right’ value, but a simple recommendation would be twice the size of the largest file you expect to write to that share (or more).

thanks - I checked all of my other shares and they were at 195.3 GB - not sure why as I never set that.  So I made this share the same thing.

 

appreciate all of the help
