shearing problem

You have 2 shares with the same name except for case. SMB and Windows will only show one of these because it isn't case sensitive. Why do you want one share name 'Media' and a different share named 'media' anyway?

My guess is you didn't create both of these shares on purpose but instead have misconfigured a docker and it is creating one of them. Linux is case sensitive and you must pay attention to that fact in everything you do on unRAID.

**** See my next post for an easier but slower way to fix this****

 

You can move all the data from 'media' to 'Media' using mc (Midnight Commander) from the command line. Midnight Commander is a text-base GUI file manager and isn't that hard to figure out.

 

Alternatively, you could install Krusader docker which is a file manager a little more like Windows Explorer.

 

Another possibility would be to temporarily enable disk shares and use Windows to copy from disk to disk but this can be dangerous. You must never mix user shares and disk shares when moving or copying.

 

Be sure you fix any misconfigured app you have that is referring to /mnt/user/media instead of /mnt/user/Media.

Actually, here is a better and simpler idea. Just rename the 'media' share to something else like 'media1'. Then you will be able to see both shares in Windows and you can move your files that way. Then
