I have seven disks in my UnRaid array.  All seven have five main folders at the top level:  Music, Photos, Software, Users, Video.  EVERY file on EVERY drive is in one of those folders.  Photos, Software, Users, and Video all show up quite nicely in My Network Places on my Windows PC's.  But Music does not show up at all, no matter how many times I hit rescan in the UnRaid web page or refresh in My Network Places.  This is a fairly recent development, as my MediaPortal HTPC still accesses the share (I programmed that share weeks ago) in MediaPortal even though that PC's My Network Places no longer sees it.

 

This is more of an irritant than a huge real issue, since almost all of my music files are on one drive anyway.  But I'd like to know how to fix this if it were to happen to my Video share... which would be catastrophic for me.

 

Thanks!

 

 

I just checked mine and I have a similar problem.  A couple of my top-level folders are not showing up.

 

I even tried renaming them, rescanning, even a reboot of the unraid - they still won't show.

 

I am still on 4.0 - how about you?

Ditto, I'm on 4.0 also.  The SATA improvements in 4.1 weren't a big incentive to upgrade since I don't have any SATA drives in my server yet.  Might 4.1 fix this?

 

 

I haven't seen this problem before.  From telnet window, please type the following command and post the output:

 

cat  /etc/samba/smb.shares

 

Also please attach your syslog after a fresh re-boot.

At this point in the evening I am not awake or sober enough to figure out how to copy/paste out of the telnet window.  ;-)

 

However, everything is showing up as I would expect: i.e. all top-level folders are there, but they still aren't in my Network Places.

 

I'll get more info tomorrow ....

cat  /etc/samba/smb.shares

Here's what pops up:

 

root@Tower:~# cat  /etc/samba/smb.shares

[disk1]

        path = /mnt/disk1

[disk2]

        path = /mnt/disk2

[disk3]

        path = /mnt/disk3

[disk4]

        path = /mnt/disk4

[disk5]

        path = /mnt/disk5

[disk6]

        path = /mnt/disk6

[disk7]

        path = /mnt/disk7

[software]

        path = /mnt/user/Software

        read only = yes

[Photos]

        path = /mnt/user/Photos

        read only = yes

[Video]

        path = /mnt/user/Video

        read only = yes

[users]

        path = /mnt/user/Users

        read only = yes

[Music]

        path = /mnt/user/Music

        read only = yes

root@Tower:~#

 

BTW, the share is definitely there... because when I first got the UnRaid server going, I entered the music share as a folder in my MediaPortal settings on my HTPC.  MediaPortal has no trouble whatsoever accessing the share even though it doesn't appear in My Network Places on that same PC.

 

Also, just now I entered my video share from My Network Places (\\tower\Video), backspaced over "Video", typed in "Music", and the music share popped up fine and dandy.  So I backed out to the main My Network Places screen, clicked "add a network place," typed in "\\tower\Music", and I now have a Music share in My Network Places again. 

 

Still don't know why it disappeared in the first place, but I apparently have it back again.  So until or unless I post here again, we at least have a workaround.

 

 

I thought I would resurrect this old thread instead of creating a new one.    I have the same issue.    Not all of my shares or even all of my disks show up in Network places.    It's not that big of a deal, because I can just navigate to the actual server and they are there.  But, it's annoying to not have them all show up in Network places.

 

Any thoughts?  Thanks.

Honestly? I blame Windows. I often seemto have issues finding my server by networkname but canalways find it via IP address. I also sometimes don't have shares appear in my network places sort of list but indeed the shares are there. Not sure if it's SAMBA weirdness or Windows weirdness but I canusually work around it. I've oftenwondered if this has anything to do with unRAID wanting to be the Local Master on my network. Tom now includes a setting to say NO but it used to insist <shrug>
