New Configuration can't see some shares

[theprophe]

Hi, i ended up doing a new configuration on my unraid beacuse i had some red x drives that were due to a pc problem. Anyways after i did it and rebuilt the parity, i can still see my share directories, but alot of them are empty, some are not. Any idea whats going on?

Not without the diagnostics.

[theprophe]

what should i post?

Tools -> Diagnostics, please attach the complete zip.

Hello, sorry for not knowing, i haven't done thistower-diagnostics-20200818-0848.zip before

Check filesystem on disk6:

https://wiki.unraid.net/Check_Disk_Filesystems

 

P.S: we don't recommend using reiserfs for many years now, you should convert to xfs.

Unfortunately, the diagnostics from that old version of Unraid you are using doesn't give us any information about what user shares actually exist. You seem to have over 1000 .cfg files (a record as far as I have seen) in config/shares on the flash drive, many with anonymized names that seem unlikely. I suspect at some point (or possibly different ones at different times) you accidentally created a lot of user shares. Any folder at the top level of cache or array is automatically a user share.

 

The reason I bring this up is because it can make it difficult to give advice regarding your user shares since it looks like you have so many.

 

Open up that diagnostics you posted and you will see what I mean.

 

How many user shares do you actually have?

Ok, thanks, i will wait for my parity check to finish and then do it.

 

Do i still have to copy everything off the reiserfs to change to xfs?

In order to change the filesystem of a disk, it has to be reformatted. So you would have to get all its data saved somewhere else before you can convert it to xfs.

Do you mean the main directories when i click on "shares" in unraid, if so about 30

 

when i clicked to make the diagnostic file there was an option to click anonymized names

typo

[theprophe]

i checked the filesystem on disk 6 and it said to run the --rebuild-tree option, so i started it.

How long does it take around, it has been at this screen for almost 2 hours

[JorgeB]

Depends mostly on the disk size, around 2/3 hours per TB.

[theprophe]

Ok it has finally finished, it has created a directory Lost+found

 

I guess whatever it could recover it put in there, and all the other stuff that it coudn't recover is lost?

 

should i do another diagnostic now?

Usually only a few incomplete/partial files are moved there, rest of the data should be where it was, unless there was massive corruption.

[theprophe]

7.22TB of my 8TB drive were in lost + found. Although most of that is movies

 

should i copy all the stuff to other drives and replace it?

 

How does a disk directory get so screwed up, and how do i know when it happens? and how does it happen?

 

thanks for all your help

It's unusual, but difficult to guess why, could be due to unclean shutdown(s), hardware issue or just a filesystem issue, if it happens again to other disks likely there's some hardware issues, but most likely it was an isolated incident.
