Hi folks,

I'm running TrueNAS-12.0-RELEASE on a HP micro server Gen8 sporting a Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G1610T @ 2.30GHz with 12 GB ECC RAM. Install has been updated since before the FreeNAS Coral disaster. It's connected to an AD and is mostly used as file storage doing snapshots to get the backup window out of the way.

After the update to TrueNAS, a CIFS Share with the name 'root' which came from a weird naming convention dating back to 1990 suddenly didn't show its contents anymore - instead it showed the home directory of the user browsing it. I guess that's related to root being an actual user.

Next strange thing: I deleted the share and shared it again as a new name. Even after rebooting, the old share 'root' shows up at the clients which is weird. Reboots on both ends happened - no joy.

Cheers
Rei

Update 1:
  • Samba shares, Snapshots as VSS Snapshots is disabled. Seems to be something else
  • rolling back to FreeNAS now.
Update 2:
  • Fresh install of TrueNAS, same problem.
  • Randomly showing the home share and the share 'root' on no matter what share name I use
  • Psychical state: ready to cause some hardware damage.
