All users from web admin interface disappeared - how to recover?

[EdgarWallace]

After the initial installation of unRAID I had some issues with open files whenever I wanted to shutdown the server and unRAID was always stuck with "UNMOUNT".

 

After a while I switched off the server and this was not a great idea. The unmount issue is fixed but all the users except root have disappeared from the web admin interface. Is there a way to have them back in the web admin? I even can't put them back with the web admin interface - perhaps because they are still existing in the system? At least I'm able to connect under exactly those users names.

 

I don´t know if this information helps - strange enough that there are two directories user and user0 with the same content:

 

root@Tower:~# ps -ef | grep shfs
root      2279     1  0 18:48 ?        00:00:04 /usr/local/sbin/shfs /mnt/user -cache 1 -floor 0 -o noatime,big_writes,allow_other,default_permissions
root      2291     1  0 18:48 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/shfs /mnt/user0 -cache 0 -o noatime,big_writes,allow_other,default_permissions
root      3523  3206  0 23:14 pts/3    00:00:00 grep shfs

 

Maybe someone has a good idea? Thank you.

Has no one any idea?

 

Where can I read more regards user vs. user0? In TwonkyMedia server I have to decide which share I enter into the respective field:

• /mnt/user/Music or
  
• /mnt/user0/Music ?

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

User0 is a view of the files WITHOUT the contents of the cache drive merged in.  You probably do not want to use it.

Joe,

 

thank you very much. I am using the /mnt/user/Music etc. now according to your explanation.

 

Do you have a good idea how to get back the disappeared users to the admin interface ? Maybe only a beauty thing? 

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Cheers

The situation is getting worse. Today I lost all entries under /mnt/user; /mnt/user0 entirely disappeared after I upgraded to unRAID V4.5.4 and added a twonkymedia shares.

 

The files on disk1-3 are still available.

 

I tried all tips here in the forum, deleted all MacOSx hidden files, rebooted unRaid twice and stop/start the array now. However the stopping takes forever and I would appreciate if someone can have a look at the syslog....thank you all help is highly appreciated.

 

Some more information what I did:

• upgrade from 4.5.3 to 4.5.4
  
• changed Mover Schedule (Share tab) to */30 * * * *
  
• changed (Remove DS_Store and ._ file and Remove ._"file" cleanup script from unMenu): */30  *  * * *
  
• added twonkymedia share
  
• manually added some more directories into that new share
  
• changed some twonkymedia-server.ini entries so that the files are being wiritten into that share rather than to var/twonkymedia
  
• changed the cache entry in twonkymedia-server.ini so that the file are being written into /mnt/cache

 

That´s all changes I can remember. All shares files (..the *.cfg) are still on boot/config/shares

 

How can I get them back.

[EdgarWallace]

Hmm, I´m having a good discussion with myself here 

 

Alright I had a strange feeling with the Twonkymedia Server and disabled it´s start within the go script. Guess what I have all my shares back in again.

 

Again, I changed some of the entries in the twonkymedia-server.ini file e.g. the default path from:

• /var/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server-uploaded-music to
  
• /mnt/user/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server-uploaded-music

in order to avoid that the settings are being lost at reboot.

 

I have defined a share /mnt/user/twonkymedia via the web admin tool but not the whole path /mnt/user/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server-uploaded-music. Do I really need to enter all required directories into the shares section of the web admin?

 

Can someone who is not a Linux noob like I am looking into the log´s and guide me what I did wrong?

 

Thank you very much.
