So I fianlly got my supermicro mobo and some drives to test Unraid out before I go big and ran into an issue and I'm stumped.

 

So the drives have been setup:

 

I just cleared the statistics, before the screenshot hence theno activity but there were no errors on any of the drives.

 

As you can see i've selected export on only the flash share.

 

Here it is diplaying perfectly fine on my list of shares.

 

 

Here are my user shares that are somewhat missing from that list above that should be there as well, I've opened up the configs to show just in case I did something really silly.

 

Any thoughts?

 

 

While I am no expert and still learning the UnRAID system myself, I think I might be able to point you in the right direction (hopefully).  Under your "Shares" page on the web GUI, you should also export "Disk Shares (SMB)".  Then on the page below is where you create your user shares.  Creating a name for the share you want to export.  Is that what you are looking to do? 

That's the way I understand it as well - on my own setup I've got Disk Shares set to Export Read/Write and mine is behaving normally (well - aside from the errors that appeared following a power cut )

 

Then again I'm also a newbie; I'm sure a guru will be along to explain it soon! 

By any chance are you configuring the shares with a text editor or via the unRAID gui?

Normally the *.cfg file gets created when you create a share from the shares tab. If you remove a share by deleting the folder and the entry on the shares tab, then the *.cfg file remains.

 

Try creating a "Test" share by typing "Test" in the "Share name:" field. Make sure that "Export (SMB):" is  Export read/write. All other values do not matter.

The shares were created using the gui, I've treid recreating them as well.

I've also noticed somethign strange where the size of the disk shares were 0

 

 

I suspect something may have happened during the initial config that has caused this, so as a precaution I decided to rebuild the USB Flash drive with the 4.6 version, all rebuilt from scratch only thing remained is the licence file.

 

Also I read up on pre clear and started it on the drives that i started Unraid with just to make sure they are a ok also get rid of any residual data that potentially was causing unraid to not function.

Pre-clear is currently running on all 3 drives, will post update once it completes and able to configure unraid again.

So I did do a full drive pre clear and once that completed configured unraid again and everythign worked fine.

No one mentioned it here but I will be very very very concerned with WD hard drive running at 52 degrees and a little bit concerned with 44-46 degrees Seagates.

 

Try to improve the cooling or you will have other problems sooner than later.
