phantom share: can't view, delete or create new one
This may be related to viewtopic.php?p=131391 but the fix listed there didn't help.
Short form: I deleted a share, but its ghost lingers.
Symptoms: I get the message
when I access the shares directory. TMcotopaxi shows up as a mount point under CIFS on my Mac (though not as AFS), but I can't access any files there. TMcotopaxi does NOT show up as a share under the FrontView shares page. And when I try to create a new TMcotopaxi share using FrontView, I get the message:
How I got into this state (I think): There was a previously a share named TMcotopaxi, but I was having permission problems and wanted to delete it entirely. I deleted it using FrontView shares page, then (almost immediately) created a new share of the same name. After I created the new TMcotopaxi share, I got a pop-up alert informing me that TMcotopaxi had been deleted. It was only then that I realized that the previous share was being deleted asynchronously in the background. However, the log file DID report
What I've tried: I rebooted the ReadyNAS with "Check and fix quotas on next boot." enabled. No joy. I re-installed the firmware as per
faq.php#How_do_I_re-install_the_firmware%3F, but no joy there either.
How do I get rid of this phantom share?
Thanks in advance.
