February 11, 200917 yr All this Windows XP and Vista logon problems drove me crazy. Even after setting the passwords I had to click on each drive letter to re-connect to the shares during every reboot. I thought " Switch user level security off". I got total garbage. My files were no longer accessible and were reported as hidden by Windows. I thought "Switch user level security back on". Now everything is in real garbage: ls -lisa total 25 3891468 0 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 120 Feb 8 15:42 ./ 3891433 1 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 576 Feb 11 15:16 ../ 4038445 8 -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 4343 Feb 9 19:33 vc.pl* 4038446 8 -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 4411 Feb 9 19:33 ve.pl* 4038447 8 -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 4368 Feb 9 19:33 vn.pl* This is just a snapshot. Several 100,000 files look like the ones shown above. What does this mean? How can I get back to normal operation? Here's what Windows reports - everything is hidden now: attrib \\Tower\Projekte\V\* A H \\Tower\Projekte\V\vc.pl A H \\Tower\Projekte\V\ve.pl A H \\Tower\Projekte\V\vn.pl Need help very urgent. Thanks Harald
February 11, 200917 yr Can you confirm that all you were changing is the user vs share security settings? Did you reboot afterwards? (Not suggesting that you reboot, just asking). If you look at this disk using their disk mount points, are you seeing the same? (e.g., "ls -l /mnt/disk1") What I would do ... 1 - WAIT FOR MORE EXPERIENCED LINUX EXPERTS TO RESPOND AND CONFIRM THIS / GET OTHER SUGGESTIONS 2 - Stop the server 3 - Rename your config folder to "config_backup" on the flash 4 - Grab the standard unRAID distribution and copy a vanilla "config" folder onto your flash 5 - Copy these files from "config_backup" to the new "config" folder: - super.dat - Pro1.key (or whatever your .key file is called) - network.cfg - ident.cfg - disk.cfg - go (if necessary) 6 - Reboot the server The user shares will be gone, but the disk shares should be intact. Confirm that you can see your data via /mnt/disk1 and via shares. If so, proceed to redefine your user shares and re-add your users. If you have actual data corruption on the physical disks, this won't help. But I can't see how changing the share data should cause such corruption. If it did, it may have been noticed coincidentally with the changing of the share setting.
February 11, 200917 yr Author Thanks for your fast answer. This was all I did. After a reboot I can overwrite files but they still report hidden Your suggestions Sound good to me - I will do so. File system seems to be intact. Its just the scary S in the file attributes. What does it mean? Harald
February 12, 200917 yr You up and running again? I'm not sure where you are seeing this "S". Maybe if you post a screenshot it will be clearer and someone will be able to answer. Glad your data was not corrupted. That was my main concern for you.
February 12, 200917 yr Author Thanks again. After the reboot the system was running normal but all files are reported as hidden by Windows now. This is new and happened during the User-Level-Security switch. What I meant was the 'S' in -rwxrwSrwx. I know a lower capital 's' but no upper 'S'. What a scary moment. I swear I will never use the control panel again (unless errors reported by unRAID or in case of new drives). Harald
February 12, 200917 yr Here is a link where the "S" is explained. http://www.zzee.com/solutions/unix-permissions.shtml#setuid
