[SOLVED] Share appears empty, but data is on the disks

[Rob Baker]

Hey, need some help from the community today.

 

Yesterday, I had to reboot my unRAID box.  Nothing special about the reboot, however, when it returned to service, my primary share (called Share) was showing no data in it.  The share existed as I can browse to it, but there is nothing showing in it.  Also, I can browse the disks and see the data, and apps (plex) is still able to read it.

 

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.  Sort of sweating it here.

 

Thanks,

Rob

Windows isn't case sensitive, so it will show only one of them.

I was able to fix this.  Here was the problem:

 

I have 5 disks, one of which is parity.

on Disk 4, there were two folders, one named "share" and one named "Shared" <--note the capital S.

Disk 1 through Disk 3 only had the lower case folder.  I removed the "Shared" folder from Disk 4 and all is well now.

 

Thanks for looking at my problem.
