I have 7 disks shared as disk1 to 7. I normally have three top level User shares: Apps Data Media. I only store new files on the latest disk, currently disk7, so I don't let the system allocate files amongst disks, I just move onto a new disk when the existing one is full.

 

Disk 7 was nearly full and I had spare space on disks 2 and 4. So I moved some files into a folder at the root of disk 4 and more files into a folder at the root of disk 2.

 

Now here's the problem: I named the folders disk7. This was supposed to remind me where the files had come from.

 

I have just re-booted Unraid and I find that, using Samba from Windows Explorer, I can't see any of the residual files on actual disk7, only those that are in the top level folders called disk7 which Unraid is now treating as a User share.

 

I believe I have confused Unraid by having a Disk share, disk7 and creating two User shares, also disk7.

 

I can still see all the residual files on actual disk7 by using View on the disk7 row of the Main or Shares screens of the browser interface, so I believe they are all there, but I need advice as to the best way to unpick this situation so that I avoid any possibility of corrupting or losing any data.

 

I am attaching pics of my Main and Shares layouts and I am on v.6.0.1

Doesn't sound like the User Share Copy Bug. In fact, I think the only issue is Windows and SMB can only see the User Share named disk7. If you go into unRAID command line or MC and rename those folders I think it will fix itself.

Advice: rename the top level directories on disk2 and disk4 to something else like "fromdisk7" and possibly reboot to let unraid redetermine user shares and disk shares.

 

And no, this is absolutely not the usershare copy problem.

 

Thank you both - that has worked.
