Hello,
I have an odd problem that I was hoping to get some help with.... I have been running FreeNAS for roughly 1 year on an old machine - 1 75gb HDD for FreeNAS Install - 1 1tb HDD and 1 2tb HDD. I had been using it for backing up files, but mostly for running Plex. I had a folder setup called "Media" within my mounted volume (ZFS) - and I had pointed the Plex plugin to it.
I had recently had some issues with my CIFS share hanging when we would try to use it... just after I had attempted and failed to install the SickBeard plugin. I thought that maybe an upgrade to the newest version would help, so I ran the GUI upgrade. The CIFS was still not useable. I removed the CIFS share, and created a new one, and it did the same thing. Thinking that since there was still a Jail setup for Sickbeard, perhaps a fresh install of FreeNAS could restore the defaults, and fix everything.
I ran the fresh install - Auto Imported my volume (import went fairly quickly - no errors) - setup my CIFS share - and am still having the issue with it hanging.... The more frightening issue however is the little bit of time that I can get the CIFS share to work long enough to browse - my "Media" folder is still there, but is empty. When I go to my "Storage" section within FreeNAS GUI - it shows 1.2Tib used which is the same space used before I started all of this... but I can't find my data anywhere within my CIFS share. All of this makes me think that the data is still there, but will need to be "mounted" or something for me to be able to access it.
I can provide you with any Hardware information that you might need, or any output from the shell within FreeNAS if you can let me know what you need. Hopefully somebody smarter than I can give me a simple quick fix for this before I pull all of my hair out for losing all of that data.
Thank you for your time!
