December 19, 20178 yr I have set the folder as secure with a password protected user share. But in my tower i can access the public shares but the private and secure shares are showing the denial message i have added here. I feel the issue is something with the credentials in windows but i dont know to solve them. Some clear guidance ll help a lot.
December 19, 20178 yr The unraid user and password that you used for the secure and private shares need to be set as the same username and password that you log into Windows with. (It also wouldn't hurt to double check that you gave that user read or read/write access to the share in unraid... I ran into that issue recently myself.)
December 19, 20178 yr When the unraid box you are accessing from windows has multiple security levels defined, (public, private, and secure) you need to make sure the very FIRST share you access is the highest level you need. If you access a public share first, then windows will provide default windows login credentials and is obviously granted access without prompting. Then when you try to access a more secure share, even though windows pops up a dialog asking for user and password, IT WILL NOT WORK. Windows will not allow multiple connections to the same server with different credentials. You must disconnect ALL sessions so that a fresh connection with the proper credentials can be made. If you have a mapped drive or some persistent connection to a public share that automatically connects on reboot, you can be beating your head against windows forever and not make a connection.

Can you explain the part of disconnecting all sessions? How to clear it windows? I don't see anything in the name of tower in credential manager. Not sure where to proceed from here.
December 20, 20178 yr Author Have tried in different systems 4 computers including mine. All the computers are being denied from accessing the folder and not in any instance it has asked me provide the credential information.
December 20, 20178 yr Author Got this now. When i tried opening a folder which i changed from secure to private. Credentials seem to be the issue here but am not able to clear them. Actually i don't know to clear them. I do went to the credentials manager but i could see only the windows system connected in the network not the UNRAID in specific.
December 20, 20178 yr Be sure to read about a dozen posts beginning with this one: https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/25064-user-share-problem/?tab=comments#comment-228392 There are several SMB login gotcha's explained here. Some are rather obscure. (One piece of good advice is to make sure that all of your user names on unRAID are unique to the entire LAN!) Having said this, there appears to be another set of issues that some folks have encountered with the most recent builds of Win10. But these generally had (in common) the issue of not be able to connect even to the public shares on the server. One more thing, I believe the only way to disconnect from a SMB session is to reboot (or restart) the Windows computer. EDIT: Found this from LimeTech: To get above to work, you would close any windows that might have a previous connection to the first public share, then open a command window and type "net use * /delete". That command closes all current server connections. Now click on your Private share and enter "curly" user name it will work this time. Edited December 20, 20178 yr by Frank1940

How to do this I use Microsoft Log in which is my email and Users cannot include the @ symbol

Where people often get hung up is due to Windows not letting you use a different user after it already has a login for the server. If you need to access the server as a different user, you can fool Windows by using the IP instead of the servername. Or you can go to Control Panel - Credential Manager and clear any unRAID credentials so it will renegotiate.
March 11, 20188 yr I have done the following and Still same problem. Deleted All users - raid Made New Users (1 with password / 1 without) - raid Cleared everything in Credential Manger (Both Web and local) - local computer Rebooted Both Nas and then Computer Mapped Drive Still cannot Write (Permissions) only can ready from Raid.

March 11, 20188 yr 31 minutes ago, farang31 said: Mapped Drive Is the share you are mapping public or private?
March 25, 20188 yr Public I only have public I have also tried removing users and setting up news ones Doing the same in windows and tried using different computers to log in I am trying to write to Mapped user share 99% of the time I cannot write (weird sometimes I can for about 20 minutes then it stops again saying I dont have permission) 100% I can read from any computer. I have also run "new Permissions" in tools
March 25, 20188 yr What happens if you gain access to these folders and files (as are in the mapped drive) by navigating to them by using Windows Explorer and getting to them by going in through 'Network'? Edited March 25, 20188 yr by Frank1940
March 25, 20188 yr Here you go Hope its something really stupid I have missed tower-diagnostics-20180325-2011.zip

Perhaps @johnnie.black might jump in here...
March 25, 20188 yr @Frank1940 When checking or repairing a disk it really should normally be done via the GUI to avoid users mistyping command lines and possibly causing even more damage. The link you provided is from before there was GUI support for this operation, or when you want to repair a disk that is not part of the array. To do this via the GUI you stop the array; restart it in Maintenance mode; click on the disk in question in the Main tab; scroll down to the bit of the resulting dialog that is used for checking/repairing file systems. From there you can check the file system or if you remove the no-modify flag run a repair instead.

Thanks, I didn't realize this feature was now a part of the GUI. @farang31, you now have a easier method to use to see if the file system on that disk is repairable.
March 27, 20188 yr hey guys Well we are at a 99% fix. somehow it drops the connection after around 100 GB tf but I think that might be might IP settings. I am now at batch 13 to back up so I will wait until all done then try new IP and DNS settings. Main point I can write again Cheers Matt
April 22, 20188 yr just away for 2 weeks - back home and now same problem - cannot write tower-diagnostics-20180422-2148.zip
April 22, 20188 yr Your syslog only contains a few seconds after reboot so not much to go on there. You should always take diagnostics while the problem is occurring. Most of your disks are completely full, and you haven't set minimum free for your user shares. My guess is you are corrupting your filesystems by trying to write to full disks. Please take some time to read the help for the settings page for one of your user shares. Minimum free should be set larger than the largest file you expect to write. This will make unRAID choose a different disk when it starts to write a new file. Other important settings that control which disk unRAID chooses to write are allocation method and split level. Study these and ask if you have any questions. The simplest thing would be to not let your disks get so full in the first place. And you really need to consider getting your disks on XFS instead of Reiser. You're going to have to dedicate some time and effort to getting these things fixed or you will just keep having problems.
April 22, 20188 yr Hi Trurl Thank you, I have attached when the error occurs - I cannot even make a now empty folder and my disks aren't totally full for 2kb of writing - correct ? Also I just get network error sometimes and have to reset my router IP then can read again. I have changed to 20gb min free space Still same problem M tower-diagnostics-20180422-2319B.zip
