Got a new Zimaboard yesterday, running through using it to migrate the Plex workload off of my Synology NAS- but running in to a strange issue.
When mounting the NAS (which I’m still using for the storage of my media) everythiing works great, authenticates with a user I created just for it, finds the shares and displays them correctly, but entering any of the shares, they “appear” to be empty in CasaOS’s file browser, which of course they’re not.
Things I’ve tested- connected to my NAS with that same user credential in a VM, shares appear/work correctly. User has read/write permissions inside those folders.
Triple-checked file permissions on the NAS- all good from test VM.
Updated the Zimaboard’s Debian OS from SSH, updated CasaOS afterward. Rebooted numerous times.
Anyone here familiar with CasaOS that ships on Zimaboard who might be able to enlighten me?
I’m running casa on Debian on a pi 4. I have three drives attached, two in an external enclosure and one nvme in an Argon nvme case. The last update the two external drives disconnected and won’t reconnect. Last night I took another update and today the nvme is disconnected and doesn’t show up in lsblk of fdisk. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna stop using casa all together. Two updates in a row and three drives lost.
Yikes- those are all local drives huh? Physically attached to the machine?
Were you using the “Combine storage” function?
I’m no expert, but this sounds like a permissions issue.
Check what permissions your user has on that folder from both connections (local, remote).
My bet is you have a user in your smbconfig that has read permission on a folder that generic users don’t have, and while you can see the folder as a new generic user, you cannot see its contents.
I think this because I have run into similar problems when trying to sync my media to a backup drive. Backup drive was all like “yup, got all the folders. Shame they’re empty! So weird” no compy, there’s 8tb in those folder let’s try again…
As I said In no expert, very possible Im completely off base. Good luck!
Edit: I know you said you triple checked. But for my story, my machine had permission, but my new backup drive did not. So, I’d quadruple check. Like, try temporarily removing all permissions and see if it works. If it does, you know it was permission based.
