[SOLVED] Cache Drive install fail resulted in /mnt/user not available, "Transport endpoint is not connected" error

[Narth2809]

TLDR: After leaving a caching drive (no cache before this) installed but not added, I lost the /mnt/user share and all user shares setup are missing in the shares tab. Diagnostics file is attached. 

 

Detailed:

After a controlled shutdown I attempted to install a 256Gb NVMe cache drive, however I did not make any configuration changes (disable docker/VMs) before powering down.  After rebooting all files appear to be intact, I was pulled away from the server until today (Sunday) morning. The "shares" tab lists "There are no exportable user shares" resulting in my SMB shares failing throughout the network. I disabled docker/VMs and confirmed my scheduler was set to Saturday at 21:00, possibly related.  I installed the drive before that time on Saturday, so it's likely a parity check was completed after the drive was physically installed but not added to the array as a caching drive. I then pre-cleared my 256Gb drive today and tried to finish adding it to the array but I'm still not seeing the shares populate.  

 

I've been checking around the forum I have yet to find the post I'm replicating.  Maybe installing a cache drive right before a scheduled parity check isn't normal?  

 

When checking the files, everything appears to still be in the array and parity is valid. (successfully downloaded a txt file and pdf from different file paths to ease my nerves.)

 

root@BCFserver:~# ls -al /mnt/user
/bin/ls: cannot access '/mnt/user': Transport endpoint is not connected

 

Curious if the below post is similar, if so it's possible a reboot of the server is my only course of action.

shfs segfaulted, rebooting should fix it.

I will give that try.

After the reboot it the user shares showed back up.  This should be tagged resolved.

You can do this yourself by editing the first post in the thread and adding (SOLVED) to the title.
