Files stuck on Writecache, chare not showing and i cannot edit it.

Featured Replies

Hello all, thank you for your time.

I have an array with HDD drives (my Array and Parity), a 'Vm' SSD and a 'Writecache' which is a pool of two SSDs.

I have many shares all working as they should, some straight to the Array and some to the 'Writecache' which Mover then moves overnight to the array, no problems with any share except my 'Pictures' Share.

For some reason Mover is not moving pictures copied into that share and they stay on the Writecache.

Also, when i look at the 'Pictures' share in the shares tab. it used to be Writecache > Array and now for some reason says Vm and i cannot change it. There is a hazard at the bottom saying 'Case-insensitive Share name is not unique'

Can anyone help me move the pictures to the array please?

Many thanks. W

Just spotted i can no longer connect to 'Pictures' share from an eternal computer.

What do you get from command line with this?

ls -lah /boot/config/shares

Look into the config/shares folder on the flash drive and check that all the .cfg files have the same capitalisation as the folders on your disks for the share.

I have stumbled on this and are currently going through changing all the casing to match, seems to be the issue. No idea how it changed.
I am fixing it by going to the share, say 'Pictures', remaning it to 'Pictures2', clicking Apply and then renaming 'pictures'. Forces a new cfg file i guess.

an ls of /boot/config/shares confirms this.

Thank you

Think i found teh error, its casing in that directory which ive fixed by naming the shares.
currently going through naming everything lowercase. Thank you

It is just that Unraid has just got a bit stricter on the checks it makes - earlier releases ignored case.
