Hi, a couple months ago I noticed that I had a second tv share and a second movies share that came out of no where. At first I didn't give it any thought as all of my movies and tv shows were working just fine, and when I transferred new items to my tv or movies folder that went where they were suppose to go. Then I finally fixed my gaming computer and downloaded xbmc and set it up as I did on all of my other computers, but for some reason it wasn't reading that I had any movies or tv shows, only movies from my blu ray share that I have.  So I looked to see if I typed the ip in wrong or not and it was all correct, then I opened my other computer and tried to play something and it worked fine. Then I finally figured out after installing xbmc on my netbook and it still didn't work that it is a smb problem as everything works fine on my macs which use afp. So then I went in and tried to just turn off smb sharing on the two extra shares that randomly appeared, but that turned off the smb sharing on both the original tv and movies shares and the two that randomly appeared.

 

So I have no idea what is going on here and I have tried to delete the two extra shares but I can't get them to delete. (or any other share) Has anyone ever heard of this happening or know how to fix it?

Windows is not case sensitive when connecting to share names, but linux is. I'm betting you have multiple folders with different capitalization on your unraid disks. Turn on your disk shares, and browse to each disk and verify that you only have one folder for each share, and that they are all capitalized (or not) identically. Verify that the odd folders are actually empty before you delete them, it is possible they have content that you would want to keep, if they do, move that content into the correct folder first.

The capitolization as pointed out already is exactly correct. Use disk shares but you may have to go right to the server to fix it using the command line.

 

You running a plugin like Couchpotato or Sickbeard downloading movies or TV shows? If yes, you likely have the capitolization wrong in the setup and it created the extra share.

 

I know that about windows and linux and I have never used linux. But I don't know if you under stand the situation correctly.

 

 

Here is a screen shot of all of my shares, the two at the bottom (tv and movies) I did not create. These showed up on their own and I am not sure why. When I connect to my server on a windows computer it shows only one tv share and one movies share and both have nothing in them. On my mac when I connect through afp I see all of my tv shows and movies. Also when I look at my server on my mac through smb it does not show anything in those folders. So it is like when ever I connect to my server through smb it defaults to the two shares I did not create and there is nothing in there.

 

How can I delete a share? I have tried different ways but they never seem to work. Also I am not using any add on like that.

Also I went into my config folder then into shares and this is what is there.

 

There is not really an extra share there????

You were told what to look for in the first response. Somehow, you created directories on your disks without the capitol. In other words, go to disk1 (or any disk) and create a directory called "movies" and you get a new share called "movies". That's how unRAID works. You have to move the files from all the "movies" directories on each disk to the "Movies" directories on each disk. Do it disk by disk and MOVE not copy and the files will move over very quickly. Then you can delete the "movies" directories. Get rid of those directories and the share will go away.

 

Oh ok I guess I didn't understand what was said in that post.  But I got it now and I looked through my disks and found the folders on my third disk. I only see them in afp not in smb. But I tried to delete them when I connected through afp and it says I do not have permission to delete it. How do I delete it with the command line?

 

Ok well I figured out how to delete stuff but I am getting this error back.

 

rm: cannot remove `movies': Is a directory

"rmdir movies"

 

If movies is not empty enter "rm -r movies" to remove movies and its contents.

 

If that returns an error enter "rm -rf movies" to force the removal.

 

Use the Disk shares if rm -rf doesn't work on the User share.
