May 21, 201016 yr So has the dupe file problem or the missing file problem been fixed yet? I am still seeing the "missing" files periodically. The dupe file problem occurs much less frequently, so I don't think they are related. BTW I am running 4.5.1...should I move back to an earlier release? Thanks, B2 Here is an update. I removed all duplicate files (the ones found by Unmenu's dupe file page and what was being noted in the logfile). I am still seeing the no file problem. Here is the log file from the last time it happened. Note that prior to the point that I snipped the log there were many many messages about "Too many open files". When I stopped the array, Disk 1 would not unmount. Required a power cycle to recover.

I did not post a syslog file nor do I recall seeing DUPLICATE_* warnings at the time. But thanks for the tip on what to look for. I went and looked at my previous syslog and did see shfs: dunplicate object: messages. So how do dupe files occur? I assume it does not matter which copy is deleted? Also I am pretty sure that the files that are duped existed prior to my upgrade to 4.5.1. What is the best way to find all the duplicate files? bburns, if I recall correctly, the syslog you posted showed a ton of DUPLICATE DIRECTORY or DUPLICATE FILE warnings. You need to fix those first before you go on about files disappearing. I suspect that is your problem. Typically, if a disk will not un-mount it is currently "busy" It could be busy because it is the "current directory" for a process. (You had "cd'd" there before starting a program that is still running) Or you might have logged in and changed directory to it ("cd /mnt/disk1" will make disk1 busy since it is your current directory) A disk can also be busy if a file on it is open for reading or writing. (If the mover is moving a file onto it from the cache drive it will be busy) A disk can also be busy if a directory on it has been used as a mount point for another file-system.

You should upgrade to 4.5.4 and try to make the problem happen again. Then create a post along with a syslog in the 4.5.4 announcement thread.
May 28, 201016 yr bburns, at this point it looks like the problem is strictly isolated to your system. So another clue to my problem: I just had the disappearing files again, I looked at the syslog and noticed a bunch of "Too many files open" messages. The files that were open were picture files that the Win 7 Media Center opens as a screen saver. Any clue on how to fix that as my family really loves the screen saver, I don't think the option is to disable the screen saver B2

The exact messages and surrounding messages all are clues for analysis.
