Hoping somone can help... I'm not sure what else to do to try to resolve this issue.
I recently added additional storage to my WHS 2011 (a 2nd raid 5 array of four disks). Everything worked as expected and I was able to mount / allocate the new drive.
I proceeded to use the console to 'move' certain shared folders from my existing storage to the new location.
The first two folders moved without issue. The 3rd folder I tried to move 'hung' on the initial stage, for hours... in the end I cancelled the process.
Whilst all my data still seems to be intact and can be viewed on directly on the drives, none of the folders or drives are visible in the WHS 2011 console... in the Server Folders and also the Hard Drives section it just says 'refreshing list of items' and does not display the folders or the drives.
I've tried running disk checks on the drives, rebooting the server etc.. but nothing seems to resolve the issue.
I wondered if there was a way to 'move' folders without using the console / wizard? i.e. using the control panel directly on the server? If so, I was going to try to complete the move again to see if this resolves the issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm stuck on this.... with the exception of rebuilding the whole server... gulp! I don't know what else to try
Thanks,
Dan
