November 10, 201213 yr I fat fingered a delete today, blew away about 41Gig worth of data from a TV show directory <sigh>. I was trying to move some files and then delete the empty folder, must have had the wrong thing highlighted. Anyway, when the delete was done and I realized what I'd done I found something weird - the directory that had formerly held data was no longer accessible. It wasn't a top level share but was one level down. Say \\servername\TV\TVshowname - the show name was no longer accessible. I could goto individual drives and access it fine but not from a higher level using the TV share. I'm rerunning the permissions script now in hopes of fixing this but thought it odd enough and frustrating enough that I'd post in case anyone else had run into it. the error from Win7 was the standard "sorry you don't have permissions" error FWIW.
November 10, 201213 yr Author Restarted the array, share disappeared! Seems I deleted it and the gigs of data beneath the public share. D'oh! Not sure why it didn't just go away but maybe the fact it spanned drives had something to do with it...
