Missing Files/Folders via SAMBA

[f451]

Hi, 
I have a strange issue with my 6.3.0-rc6. I don't see all the files in one of my subfolders via SAMBA but i saw them direct on the server or with the Web Interface

I have stopped and restarted samba without any changes....
No Disks are excluded and all are included.

Any advice for me?

Login either on the console or with PutTTY.  on the command line enter   ls -al /mnt/user/Multimedia/Audio

 

Do you have two directories names the same expect for capitalization?   If so that is the problem.  Linux treats  an name and Name  as two unique file/directory names and Windows assumes that they are identical.  In fact, Windows chokes in this situation, will only recognize the first one it 'finds' and ignores the second one!

 

SECOND EDIT:   This often occurs when a Linux Docker, plugin or VM is writting files to the array.

Hi Frank,
unfortunately that was not the root cause..... i have also renamed the folder to remove german "umlaute" like öäü

[email protected]:~# ls -al /mnt/user/Multimedia/Audio
total 1
drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users  72 Apr  4 08:56 ./
drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 144 Apr  4 03:57 ../
drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users  96 Apr  2 03:40 Hoerbuecher/
drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 672 Mar 20 03:40 Musik/

 

In folder "Hoerbuecher" i have 200 Folders and i pretty sure that no docker has written anything in this folder

Maybe "duplicate" naming at a higher level? What do you get with this instead?

ls -lah /mnt/user/Multimedia

Or this?

ls -lah /mnt/user

Hi,

this are the outputs from the commands :

[email protected]:~# ls -lah /mnt/user/Multimedia
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 144 Apr  4 03:57 ./
drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 176 Apr  5 03:40 ../

drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 208 Apr  4 03:56 Filme/
drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users  48 Apr  4 03:57 eBooks/
[email protected]:~# ls -lah /mnt/user
total 0
drwxrwxrwx  1 nobody users 176 Apr  5 03:40 ./

drwxrwxrwx  1 nobody users 208 Jan  7 03:57 isos/
drwxrwxrwx  1 nobody users  72 Jan 14 03:40 system/
 

looks like everything is ok....stupid problem.

Have you tried upgrading? We are way past Release Candidates.

[Frank1940]

Also, have a look at the 'users'  list on your server.  I have not chosen to implement any restrictions on any of my shares so I am very hazy on details regarding what is involved.  You would again be looking for users with different capitalized.

 

Also post up your diagnostics file. 

[SnickySnacks]

Can you:

a) Check if there is a difference in the paths to the files on Disk 6 vs Disk 20 (/mnt/disk6/Multimedia/Audio vs /mnt/disk20/Multimedia/Audio)?

b) See if there is some other common connection on the files that are visible (in the partial screenshot, it looks like the folders on Drive 3 and 6 are visible, but not 8, 16, 18, and 20. Does this hold true for the rest of the files?)
