shares disappear but reappear on a reboot

Featured Replies

so about 3 days ago all my shares disappeared the smb shares where unreachable and all my dockers where down as they couldn't access there AppData. i rebooted and everything went back to normal since then it has happened 2 more times the latest when i woke up this morning. the latest thing i installed was the unifi-os-server this was a few hours before it happened the first time but i dont know how they could relate. i did download digs after each occurrence friday-diagnostics-20260317-0833.zipfriday-diagnostics-20260315-1202.zipfriday-diagnostics-20260318-1029.zip i checked through these myself and all i found was in the /shares/shareDisk.txt it says Share does not exist but all the shares cfgs do still exist.

either way if anyone knows or could help that would be appreciated

thanks!

Please disable mover logging; it's spamming the log, and we may be missing some lines. Then reboot and post new diags next time it happens.

Also check and see if you have a container constantly restarting by checking their uptime.

Not seeing what is causing the issue, but there are some crashes logged before it starts that may point to bad RAM or similar. Start by running Memtest.

If nothing is found, update to 7.2.4 and post new diags to see if there's anything new there.

Hello,

I am also experiencing this issue after installing the Unifi OS Server from the App store. When I restart the container, all the internal shares disappear. I have to reboot the Unraid server to get them back.

ran memtest for about 1 and a half passes and no errors and it has the pass screen so assuming ram is fine, ill update to 7.2.4 and wait to see if it happens again ill post digs if it happens again.

Since this thread is still active, please start a new one, it may have similar symptoms but be a different issue.

Aer you also using that?

  • Community Expert

In that case it may be the same issue and a problem with that. Try without it.

yes i mentioned in the first post it started happening the same day i installed it but i have updated to unraid 7.2.4 and i haven't had an issue since but ill update if any issue do arise.

I'm having the exact same issue on Unraid 7.2.4 - happens every few days. I also installed UniFi OS Server docker from bmartino1's repository. This is too much of a co-incidence to be random. There must be something in that docker that's breaking Unraid. I'm going to stop the docker and see how I go. I have logs, but, unfortunately also have mover logs turned on☹️. I'll post the logs anyway - hopefully there's a clue in there somewhere.

Recommend using that container's support thread.

After a lot of searching, I gave up. Shfs completely crashes when restarting or stopping the container (95% of the time, sometimes it survives)

Temporary workaround: map all the stuff to /mnt/cache/appdata/unifi-server-os instead of /mnt/user/appdata/unifi-server-os.

Have you tried just making appdata exclusive to cache and leaving the path as /mnt/user/appdata?

I don't think I did, but I spent a lot of hours troubleshooting and basically every time that container went through /mnt/user, shfs crashed. If anyone wants to test it, feel welcome to do it in my place. I don't have time to further troubleshoot this in the coming days. Just sharing what I found. Sorry

If it's the crash I think it is, it can be typically resolved by disabling NFS completely or using exclusive shares only.

This has nothign to do with the docker and everything to do with how you're handling shares on unraid!

Any and all dockers that rely on state files and the state files move or are no longer in the path before mover touches them!

EVEN IN THE UNRIAD DOCS!
https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/run-docker-containers/managing-and-customizing-containers/

Shares | Unraid Docs

A key feature of Unraid is the management of shares. Shares are folders or drives on your Unraid server that can be accessed over a network. You can create as many shares as you want on your Unraid se

Goes over that appdata SHOULDN'T be on more then 1 location for Docker!

That is entirely user error.

My appdata share is exclusively on a btfrs mirror of two enterprise-class SSDs - set up as per Unraid best practice. Mover doesn't touch my appdata share - ever. Yet I have been having the problem. So, it's not just about how our shares are set up. I've been running my Unraid server for 8 years and have run countless dockers over that time and never seen anything like this. You seem to be implying that those of us with this problem have our appdata share incorrectly set up. Not true in my case.

again, please give an updated diag file...

I've had the docker disabled since I found out the cause of the problem. Should I re-enable it and allow the fault to occur first before I post the diag file?

Also, I suspect that clearing the appdata folders and installing it again now that it supports non-privileged installation might well fix things - so as not to waste your time, should I try that first?
Thanks for all your help 🙏
