[Solved] Ghost NAS mount

[ICLlP]

According to the sources UI I have three NAS mounts, but in reality I only have two. The third is a ghost. Does anyone know how can rid of this?

It could be that that resource hasn't been unmounted properly.
Browse in /mnt/MPD/NAS/ and delete the "ghost" folder.

[ICLlP]

How do I do that?

If you are not confident with the command line, use a FTP/SFTP client (e.g. FileZilla), connect to your Rpi with in SFTP and do it there.

I'm quite happy ssh ing in through Terminal on the Mac. It's once I'm there I need instructions for dummies.

rmdir --ignore-on-non-empty /mnt/NAS/blah

where blah is your folder.

if that doesnt work, rm the files first then rmdir the folder....I was having issue with the --ignore-on-non-empty parameter

[cmh714]

my bad the parameter is --ignore-fail-on-non-empty

[ICLlP]

Is this what you mean?

rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /mnt/NAS/2

2 is the name I gave to what has now become a ghost.

I just tried it and this is what happened:

[root@runeaudio ~]# rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /mnt/NAS/2
rmdir: failed to remove '/mnt/NAS/2': No such file or directory

Probably not related to your problem, but I also did encounter a 'ghost' mounted folder.

Problem was the name I gave it in RA started with an underscore, '_'. Removed the underscore, and now RA sees it properly.

If the rmdir command couldnt find your directory/folder, then it sounds like it doesnt exist which means the ghost drive is most likely coming from the database.

You can try and add a new NAS mount and see if the ghost disappears.....thats what happened to me with Webradio's...cant hurt to try.
