Help,

 

Am using 5.14 version of unraid and have a couple of user shares: Software, Fotocollectie, Muziek and MEDIA. Am using a cachedisk for downloading files from sabnzb, couchpotato and sickbeard (the last two do not work but that does not concern me too much at the moment)

 

Since two days (perfect timing during the maintanance) I am missing the MEDIA user share wich is subdivided in DVD and 1080 directories for obvious reasons.

 

On the shares of the separate disks I can see them both with the entries I expect but a usershare is there for a reason. To see it as one share.

 

What I do see is a share called media (no caps!!!) wich I think originated from a move action from the cachedrive.

 

Syslog included (zipped), hope anyone can help.

 

How can I get this usershare back? I have no clue. Read a similar one just below in this general support part of the forum but want to check out my options before starting  to something stupid.

Anyone?

Pull the flash and do a checkdisk on a PC. If that doesn't work then do a reiserfsck as described in the Wiki on the array disks.

Did the chkdsk and reiserfsck --check on all the drives except the paritydisk? No failures as far as I could see. I saw on /dev/ the drives as sda,sda1,sdb, sdb1 etc etc etc. reiserfsck worked only on the sdx1 ones, on the sdx ones I got the following message:  reiserfs_open: the reiserfs superblock cannot be found on /dev/sdX. Failed to open the filesystem. But the wiki mentiones that is normal.

 

What is my next option?

Sorry, do the parity too.

 

You either use the mdx or the sdx1 devices.

reiserfsck will not work on parity.

Very important!!! Do NOT run reiserfsck on the parity drive. It does NOT have a file system, and running reiserfsck on your parity drive can corrupt it!

 

From the wiki.

 

Are there more options, anyone?

Check the share names are identical (including CASE sensitive)

 

for example if i have a share called "Videos"

 

on disk1-3 i would have

\\tower\disk1\Videos\1

\\tower\disk2\Videos\2

\\tower\disk3\Videos\3

 

with the share i expect to have \\tower\Videos with files 1,2 & 3

 

if i rename disk3 to videos (all lower case)

the share  (\\tower\Videos) would only display 1 & 2

 

 

Learnt the hard way with the above!

Crap, I meant do the cache drive too.

Yes, and you would have a new videos share too with 3 inside.

Did a reiserfsck on the chache disk, nothing wrong with it.

 

This part I do not understand.

I thought I wrote that a complete share is missing, the MEDIA  one. But on the separate disks I see this share including the subdirectories (1080 and DVD)

 

I did see for example see on disk 1 a share (does one name it like that)  named MEDIA an one called media. I compared them and they were exactely the same. Tried to rename the lower case one to MEDIA but no go so I thought delete it as both MEDIA and media look exactely the same. After I did this on disk1, both directories were missing. Gone 900 Gb of movies!!

 

Can only blame myself here but can someone in the community help me with this?

Am using simple features and I do not know how to look at the settings of individual user shares. Maybe something is wrong there.

 

I really could use some help, want my MEDIA user share back so I can see the contents of all included disks in one folder. (At least all the content except the deleted ones of disk1)

 

 

You need to telnet or logon to the server directly and check out the shares from there. You cd /mnt/user and use ls to list the directory which will display all the user shares. I'm thinking you're having a Windows issue since Windows treats both the same yet Unix doesn't. If you have both on the disk then Windows get all flustered and screws up.

Linonel, did this and according to me now everything looks okay again. How to get windows "unflustered" so I can see this share again. Am using windows 7.

 

Hope this will be my last question about this issue. Have not said thanks for your help yet, should have don earlier. So here goes, Thanks.
