I have had my server up for many months and it has worked flawlessly.  I set up named shares and they have been working flawlessly.

 

Suddenly my named shares don't show anything in Windows Explorer.  If I go to the physical location, the data is there.  This has been working, I have a handful of named shares - software, movies, video, photos etc.  None of them show any files or directories in them.

 

The disks seem to be fine, though it has been a month or so since I did a parity check.

 

Any ideas other than deleting the shares and recreating them?

 

Thanks,

Well, I was having general funkiness with Unraid so I stopped the array and rebooted and I am now seeing my share info etc.

 

The last thing I saw I posted in another post - too many files open - where the log file was telling me that there were too many files open, and all of them were photos.  My duaghter loves to look at the photos and videos on the named shares and often fails to close them behind herself.  I can't imagine that she would open so many that Linux would run out of file handles but...

 

I did a reboot and everything seems normal again.

She may have actually closed them behind her but Windows did not let go of them.

 

There are quite a few reports of the Too Many open files error in this forum.  There is a fix for this in the 4.6.1 version of unRAID that is soon to be released.

This happened to me when I got the too many files open due to WMC screensaver. The only thing I had to do was take the array off line and put it back on line. Did not have to reboot. I did the fix in the other thread and disabled the screen saver.
