VoNpo Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Hi, Backround: I have been struggling with "disappearing shares" for a long time now. About year ago I used Ubuntu (Gnome) and didn't have any problems, then I switched to Manjaro KDE and problems started, I had to switch Samba shares to NFS shares because of many problems. Example: If I wanted to check mediainfo from movie file, KDE (Samba) started to transfer that movie file to my PC and only after completed transfer mediainfo was opened. Switching to NFS solved that problem. At same time "disappearing shares" problem started, and in that point I thought it would be KDE related problem. Few days ago I formatted my PC and switched to Manjaro Gnome version, but problem didn't go away. So actually that problem might be unRAID or linux related, not that specific desktop environment. Problem: All shares will be mounted without any problem during boot. Shares stay visible if I won't modify/add/delete any file trough my PC. When I do so, folder will show up empty and I have to refresh folder to see files. At same time I will lose access to "root folder" of share, but I still have access to all subfolders. Example: I can't access mounted share "/media/movies/" but if I go directly to subfolder "/media/movies/action" everything works normally in subfolders. If I try to access mounted share "/media/movies" I will get error message: Unhandled error message: Error when getting information for file "/-media/movies": Stale file handle Only way to fix problem is unmount shares trough terminal or reboot. With KDE error messages was little bit different, can't remember exactly but it was something like "no such file or directory" KDE also was trickier to unmount, I had to use sudo umount -l /media/movies. Without -l it didn't do anything because "directory is busy" error. PC OS: Manjaro Gnome 19.0.2 unRAID: 6.8.3 with Samba shares Shares are mounted trough /etc/fstab Mount paremeters: //192.168.2.13/Movies /media/Movies cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0 Let me know if you need any logs or more information. My knowledge about linux is limited (only some basics), so problem might be in my settings also. BTW: English is not my native language, so hope you get idea of problem Edited April 17, 2020 by VoNpo Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 We need the diagnostics (Tools -> Diagnostics), grabbed after the problem manifests itself and before rebooting. Quote Link to comment
VoNpo Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Diagnostics attached. Just woke up so haven't had any issues today, but yesterday problem happened many times. (and in every day during uptime) With reboot I meaned PC, unRAID don't need reboot during problem. seweri-diagnostics-20200425-1015.zip Edited April 25, 2020 by VoNpo Quote Link to comment

VoNpo Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) ok, thanks for a check. Just found this topic, seems that I'm not alone with this problem. Problem exist with current Samba shares and earlier NFS shares which I had during KDE install. Edited April 25, 2020 by VoNpo Quote Link to comment
