Shares disappeared after restarting Frontview manually.

Question

ReadyNAS NV (I know, I know) running latest firmware.

Been a faithful user for years.

Somewhere between restarting frontview and nfs-kernel-server via command line (in an attempt to tighten up nfs share security), it looks like my shares disappeared from Frontview (they are still there under /c)

/etc/frontview/apache/Shares.conf is empty

/etc/frontview/samba/Shares.conf is empty

Strangely, if you look at the screenshots below, the shares now show up as user accounts so something went sideways as well as the exports (over CIFS, NFS, AFP) no longer being accessible.

If I go to a different machine and do a "showmount -e <nas>", I am able to see the NFS exports but am not able to mount (probably due to missing perms)

I am still able to ssh in and have backed up /etc onto a different machine via rsync. I have not tried creating a new share yet as I'm not sure if that might make things worse.

I'm really hoping that I can recover without having to blow everything away.

I did check the output for "df -h" and "df -i" and I'm fine on disk utilization as well as # of inodes consumed.

You might be able to try restoring the original config files from /etc/default/config/etc/frontview
cp -rP&nbsp;/etc/default/config/etc/frontview/* /etc/frontview/

I found a (semi?) intact Shares.conf at&nbsp;
/etc/default/config/etc/default/samba/Shares.conf (it's missing /c/u001 and /c/vmdatastore)

No, that's actually the default config file; that's the config it would have used if you factory defaulted. You can copy the default config&nbsp;Shares.conf to the /etc/frontview/samba/Shares.conf to match your existing shares and get yourself back up and running. You might also be able to check /var/backups/ to see if there is a config backup there of your original shares.

Here is the output of ls.&nbsp;&nbsp;As you can see the Shares.conf are showing as zero. I'm wondering if adding a new share will help populate those files sufficiently that I can manually add the other old shares back in. Obviously, I want to avoid deleting those shares...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;nas01:/etc/frontview# ls -l samba/ apache/apache/:total 96lrwxrwxrwx&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 7 May 19 14:09 1987cbba.0 -&gt; new.pemlrwxrwxrwx&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 32 Nov 16&nbsp; 2013 a725456d.0 -&gt; /etc/frontview/apache/apache.pemdrwxr-xr-x&nbsp; &nbsp; 2 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 16384 Apr&nbsp; 8&nbsp; 2009 addons-rw-------&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1555 Nov 16&nbsp; 2013 apache.pem-rwxr--r--&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 9079 May 19 16:47 httpd.conf-rw-r--r--&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 3025 May 19 14:07 new.pem-rw-------&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 Jun 14&nbsp; 2006 Ports.conf-rw-------&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 May 19 16:26 Shares.conf-rw-------&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 May 19 16:26 Shares.conf.1-rw-r--r--&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 301 May 15&nbsp; 2006 ssleay.cnf-rw-------&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 140 May 18 13:01 Virtual.conf&nbsp;samba/:total 256drw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 2 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 16384 Jan 30&nbsp; 2008 addons-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 May 19 16:26 Shares.conf-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 294 May 19 16:26 Shares.conf.admin-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 294 May 19 16:26 Shares.conf.administrator-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 May 19 16:26 Shares.conf-sav-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 75 Apr 24&nbsp; 2012 smb.conf.CIFSFS-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 54 Mar&nbsp; 4&nbsp; 2005 smb.conf.OS2-rw-r-----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 125 Apr 24&nbsp; 2012 smb.conf.OSX-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 54 Mar&nbsp; 4&nbsp; 2005 smb.conf.Samba-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 55 Mar&nbsp; 4&nbsp; 2005 smb.conf.UNKNOWN-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 88 Sep 24&nbsp; 2013 smb.conf.Vista-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 120 Jun&nbsp; 5&nbsp; 2009 smb.conf.WfWg-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 55 Mar&nbsp; 4&nbsp; 2005 smb.conf.Win2K-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 55 Mar&nbsp; 4&nbsp; 2005 smb.conf.Win2K3-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 55 Mar&nbsp; 4&nbsp; 2005 smb.conf.Win95-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 55 Mar&nbsp; 4&nbsp; 2005 smb.conf.WinNT-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 55 Mar&nbsp; 4&nbsp; 2005 smb.conf.WinXP-rw-rw----&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 admin&nbsp; &nbsp; admin&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 55 Apr 24&nbsp; 2012 smb.conf.WinXP64
