Device is n/a in shared folder

  • Hi,


    After update all Shared Folders on my ZFS array shows device=n/a.


    If I try to edit the shared folder I get: Failed to execute XPath query '//system/fstab/mntent[uuid='e3da46f5-f3d0-41c0-856b-d15fd355b8e8']'.
    See attached screen dump.


    What could be the problem? How to resolve?


    I do not experience any problems with my NFS shares. But the SMB/CIFS share is not working.

  • Also. I get the following error message for each of the shares.

  • I got this in the past too, after exporting my ZFS pool by the WebUI for some reason. After importing the pool I got also n/a when I tried to edit shared folders. I had to recreate my shares completely.
    I don´t know if this was fixed in OMV4 meanwhile - and if this is the reason for your problem.

  • In config.xml sharedfolder section the uuid for <mntentref> is wrong. Shall be same as uuid for <mntent> in the fstab section.


    ...
    <mntent>
      <uuid>c4431442-91bd-4d6b-8e90-8a67a76d9209</uuid>

    Can I fix it by just updating config.xml and restart?


    Will the /etc/systemd/system/sharedfolders-XXXX.mount be re-generated?

  • I got it working by updating config.xml and restart.

    Perfect! Could you please post how you have updated the config.xml for others who may have similar problems in the future? Thanks a lot.


    Changes of config.xml are potentially dangerous because this is the configuration database of Openmediavault. Therefore it is always good to know which changes are possible.

  • @Simmarn It would be very nice if you still record the solution of your problem here :)

  • I realize I am necroing this thread, but this is the very first Google result for this issue, so I thought I should post the solution I ended up using here.


    The n/a means that your config is pointing the shared folders towards a filesystem that currently isn't available. Unless you want to re-create all of your shares, you can do this:


    You want to edit /etc/openmediavault/config.xml. Assuming you're using nano, you can use CTRL+W to search for "<fstab>".

    <fstab> contains entries of <mntent>, which again contain <uuid>. Search for the filesystem you want your shared folder to be on (by either <mountpoint> or <fsname>) and copy the <uuid> of that mntent.


    After that, search for "<shares>". You should see a list of <sharedfolder>. Search the shared folders that have a n/a device and replace the UUID in their <mntentref> with the one you copied before.


    Make sure you've done it right, save and restart your device.
