I recently replaced a drive and finished the restore and everything was fine. I did accidentally click the 'move now' button, but since my cache drive is not set up, I thinking nothing of it.

however we woke this morning to an apparent reset of the windows 10 (HTPC and my office) systems, but my win7pro (personal) system had no problems. I also didn't think much of this until I checked the server to play a file on kodi. It then told me that the file was not present, asked me to delete or not, I clicked no and shut the HTPC (same on office win 10 system) down. Then went to my personal (win7 pro) and brought up the files (SMB) on explorer and many were missing, like whole folders, the folders are there but they are just completely empty.

 

So I went into the server gui and the files are all there...???

My question is; does anyone have any idea what might cause this and yes all systems, network and server have all been reset (always a first do)?

 

After restore the parity is also finding errors, should I run that first and hope it corrects the errors?

 

I am leaning more towards a windows smb problem, but I am stumped

 

See sig for server info

What do you mean by restore?

 

if you want any informed feedback about whether there are any server issues then you need to provide the server diagnostics zip file (from Tools->Diagnostics).

By restore i mean having it complete the rebuild after the drive replacement>

Also, when i set the global shares to:

Enable Disk Shares: Yes instead of auto, I can see all the drives and files, but i still can't see the files in the original shares. thinking it must be a permissions thing

You need to Check Disk file system on disk 1    Once you fix that up the shares should come back

 

 

Okay Squid...outstanding, worked like a charm. should i go through and check the other discs for GP? or just run a parity check and let it go at that point?

 

Thanks again,

None of what you said will hurt.
