After disk expansion AFP and CIFS not working

Bit of a pickle....

I replaced two disks in my Pro 6 and now I cant get AFP and CIFS working.
I replaced each disk one at a time and them then quiesce the system first. That is, I replaced 1st disk then let it resync completely before the next disk was replaced
When I replaced the second disk, after it re-synced, I got an alert telling me that new space was detected and the expansion/migration would start on a reboot.
So I rebooted.
It took all night to expand and resync but frontview shows now that my volume has expanded as expected. The resync has completed.

However, both CIFS and AFP are not working anymore.

I first thought the problem was with my Mac but I have two Macs and both dont see any CIFS or AFP shares.
On both Macs, I can see the Pro6 as a shared device but when I open them, they open in read-only mode.
I checked frontview and all services are enabled. CIFS/AFP/FTP etc.
So I decided to reboot the Pro6 thinking something got mucked up.
Reboot did not change things.

So I disabled CIFS/AFP via frontfiew then re-enabled them. Same problem.

Anyone any suggestions?

  • Hi There,
    Thanks for responding. Radiator 4.2.19, Mac Os X 10.8.5 on one machine and Mavericks 10.9 on the other.

    But I have just fixed the problem. I restated bonjour and everything now OK.

    Thanks anyway.
    Cheers
