I recently tried to expand one of my Share Folder to include more disks. After I click the apply button, all User Shares setup were gone,

 

I have unRAID Server Plus version: 4.4

 

Here below is a copy of my Disk status

Model / Serial No.  Temp Size         Free               Reads     Writes     Errors

parityata-ST 1TB      *     976,762,552 -                 3,487,886 3,395,560    0

The only thing I did was to add a disk4 behind the disk3, and clicked the apply button. Now I can no longer make any changes any more...

 

Appreciate any help here.

 

 

The user share config info is stored on the flash in the config/shares/<sharename>.cfg files.  Do these files still exist?

thanks, and silly me. after I restarted the raid system, everything is coming back normal and so far it is working fine.

 

about the share folder. i opened the share folder from my window vista computer, the folder is empty. (flash/config/shares)

do I have to take the flash drive out from the unraid computer to read the content inside it every time?

 

Thanks.

 

 

you need to set windows to display hidden/system files...

 

got it. thanks.

Just so you know. I had this same issue when i first started using unRAID 4.4. This will happen if you create a share in unRAID before making the folders on the disks. I happened to me 3 or 4 times before i realized what was going on.

What do you mean by "if you create a share in unRAID before making the folders on the disks"?  This is not necessary.  You just go to the Shares page and create a share - system will create initial folder on a data disk.
