Pancakes Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I sometimes have a problem where I reboot my server, and it loses all the shares. I suspect this is happening because my fileserver is starting up so fast, its having to wait on DrivePool I found a similar problem unrelated to Drivepool here: https://serverfault.com/questions/752895/windows-2008-r2-shares-disappear-on-reboot It looks like the fix was to make the LanmanServer service dependant on the (In this case) Drobo service using this commant: sc config LanmanServer depend= SamSS/Srv/DDServer If I want to do this for DrivePool, what is the correct service I would add? And does anyone see any problems with doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Nope. There are two parts to the software, the system service, and the driver. The driver is loaded MUCH sooner in the bootup process, and should be present before the LanManServer service loads up. As for adding dependencies .... I would actually recommend the "Automatic (Delayed)" option. This added a minute or two delay to the start, giving the system more time to startup. The reason for this .... if you uninstall the Drobo software, your network shares will break. Outright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pancakes Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 I switched it to the Automatic (Delayed) option and I think it might have solved it, although I have only rebooted twice in total so far Christopher (Drashna) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pancakes Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Reboot twice again and I can safely say this is solved Is it worth editing my title to say "Losing shared on reboot" to help SEO for other people if they have the same problem?

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I'm glad to hear it! As for the SEO stuff, it should index the thread itself, so... your post should do that, well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
