(SOLVED) Always 'Starting Services,' can't unmount shares when stopping array.

[dbK]

Hi, there've been a few similar threads over the years, but none of the actions suggested have helped. I'm running 6.8.1 on a Ryzen 2700X, B450 motherboard, 64GB of RAM, an LSI controlled flashed to IT mode.

 

Array is made up of 7 spinning rusts; parity is a 5tb Toshiba drive. SATA SSD is cache.

 

I see this error in the log pretty frequently - Tower emhttpd: error: put_config_idx, 613: Invalid argument (22): fopen: /boot/config/shares/*.cfg

Delete this folder

[dbK]

Syntax should be something like:

 

cd /mnt/user

rm “*”

 

right?

[JorgeB]

rm -r "*"

 

[dbK]

Thank you!

You may want consider how you created that in the first place so it doesn't happen again. Any top level folder on cache or array is automatically a user share. If you specify a path to a top level folder on cache or array (or in /mnt/user) in a docker mapping or something it will create that top level folder and you get a user share named for that folder.
