I have several Samba shares running on my Synology RackStation NAS server. Lets just call these Samba shares:
newton1
newton2
newton3
Each of the newtons is pointing towards a different RAID volume. newton1
and newton3
are working smoothly and accepting files in a timely way, as you would expect a Samba share to. But today I noticed that some users were having difficulty uploading files to newton2
in particular.
On a Windows system; a user copied several files to newton2
; the names and file sizes appeared, but these files had no contents.
I tried replicating this on my Linux machine too via Thunar and had similar results.
(Note that this user and I have permissions to write in these files/directories I'm talking about. user=rwx, group=rwx, other=rx
)
I tried touch test.txt
directly on newton2
and the file appeared, but when I tried editing the contents in Vim I got this error:
"test.txt" E667: Fsync failed
A du .
of newton2
shows all of the recently uploaded files are null.
The RAID volume for newton2
shows that only 6GB/30GB are used and the disks all appear healthy.
I'm really stumped at this point… Where do I go from here?
