I have a SMB share to my Windows 11 desktop. When I access the network drive I do not see all my data. I have missing folders and what seems like several hundred gigabytes just not in the directory. I noticed this defect yesterday and everything was fine a few days prior to that.
The weird thing is I am connected to the same directory on my Android phone, iPad, and other devices, and I can see everything just fine on there.
I do have snapshots and an offline backup so if all else fails here I can just restore. (Not sure the best way to do that either) But, does anyone have any insights on what I should do here? I am a noob at TrueNAS still, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
Update: I restarted my local TrueNAS system and it seems to have fixed the issue? I really don’t know how? If anyone has any insights on why it would suddenly remove from viewing a bunch of random folders from my system on 1 select SMB share please let me know so I can change any settings if need be.
I reset the system at the local terminal console by accidently pressing ctrl alt del in an effort to escape a command I hit in early. Not sure if that’s bad either. But, if I run into further issues later because of this I will update here again!
So that would indicate your data is not gone, right?
Yes that would seem to be the case. I posted an update more up in the thread saying I restarted the TrueNAS system and that seems to have fixed it on the windows system.
I am not sure what "check through the shell if it is in your pools means. I am a novice at this software.
I agree this may be a windows being dumb issue. But, I would like to know atleast roughly what may have caused it if possible so as to prevent this issue from happening again in the future
If I have screenshotted the correct info, here is an attached image of the permissions menu. I followed the same system settings as promoted by lawrence systems in this video linked below:
