Can't Delete Share

[jeffreywhunter]

I'm trying to delete an old duplicate share.  If I uncheck all the disks, then ALL becomes the option.  I must be missing something, but I can't find a way to delete it.

 

Thanks in advance...

What do you mean by "duplicate"?

 

And have you emptied the share?

share has to be empty first.

By "duplicate", do you mean another share with the same name, except for upper/lower case? Most likely you got into that situation by specifying a path somewhere with the wrong upper/lower case, and since Linux is case-sensitive, a "duplicate" was created. * See below for more on why that happens.

 

Are you trying to change it so it is not included on any disk? User share settings are mostly about how unRAID decides where to write the share's files and won't really affect whether they exist or how they are read. Even if you exclude a disk, that just means it won't write files for that share on that disk anymore. Any files already on other disks will still be included when reading the share.

 

As already stated, you can't remove a share unless it is empty. After you remove all the files for the share, unRAID will let you delete it from that share's settings page.

 

* Here is the way user shares work:

 

User shares are simply the aggregate of all top level folders on cache and array drives.

 

If you create a user share in the webUI, unRAID will create a top level folder on cache or array drives as needed according to the share settings. The folder(s) will be named for the user share.

 

Conversely, if you already have or manually create a top level folder on cache or array drives, it is automatically a user share with the same name as the folder. If you don't make settings for a user share it will have default settings.
