HELP! Shares are missing!

Featured Replies

First, I haven't done anything yet...  Haven't tried anything.  I know from other posts that it's best to come here before doing *anything*.

 

I went to access a shared drive from one of my PCs this morning, and it wouldn't work.  Not unusual, typically need to reboot PC.  I pulled up my server homepage, and after clicking on the "Shares" tab, saw that there are no user shares anymore!  They are all gone!  I had several, and they had all of my data in them.  (Videos, pictures, media were the big ones).

 

What do I do?  What's my first step?

All your data should be fine, grab diagnostics and reboot.

Also check that Enable user shares is set to Yes. See Settings -> Global Share Settings.

Enable user shares was set to yes.  Diagnostics downloaded, array rebooted.  Everything working well.

 

What should I look for root-cause wise?  Should I post diagnostics?

You're getting out of memory errors, quite common with v6.3.5, this should help:

Thanks Johnnie.  I've installed the Tips and Tweaks plugin, and changed the values.  Rebooting the server for good measure.

this has been happening to me as of late as well. not sure how im running out of memory got 32GB and typically only using about 16 of it at any given time.

 

like mentioned rebooting does fix it but im typically only getting 3-4 days of uptime now

It's not running out of memory per se, it's the memory getting fragmented and not have enough continuous blocks, it's a kernel issue.

I've lost the shares on my server. I have the data still but no shares showing on the GUI, or over SMB network connection. I've been through through this thread but cannot sort it out. I've downgraded from 6.8.3 but still no help.

 

I've also tried adding a new share and in the log it adds the share but deletes it straight away??

 

Hoping someone can help me. Please.!!

Nothing obvious in the log, try rebooting in safe mode.

thanks for your reply, I've tried the reboot in safe mode and still the same. Again I tried to add a temporary share but looking at the log it tries to create it mkdir command and recongises there's already a then fails. the GUI says folder deleted.? Its an odd one.
