ibays - quite all folders are visible, quite all files disappeared

garzit

Hi,
a couple of moths ago I installed SME 7.4 on one disk (no raid option). Then I attached 4 additional disk and created a RAID5 configuration (/mnt/testHD). I've create symlinks (symbolic links) for specific ibays on the HD:

mkdir -p /mnt/testHD/ibays/IBAYNAME
chown -R admin:allstaff /mnt/testHD/ibays/IBAYNAME
chmod 775 -R /mnt/testHD/ibays/IBAYNAME
rm -rf /home/e-smith/files/ibays/IBAYNAME
and finally
ln -s /mnt/newdisk/ibays/IBAYNAME /home/e-smith/files/ibays/IBAYNAME

Yesterday a strange behavior was observed: from windows workstations, quite all the directory tree was visible and accessible while only 10% of files were accessible and some of them were corrupted. I am not in the place where it happened, so I don't know if from the console everything is visible.

I searched a lot on the forum and even on google, but I was not able to find a similar behavior.

Any idea?

Thanks

Are the ibays still mounted correctly?

How many ibays are symlinked to the mounted disk?

Does a reboot solve the problem?
