Directory on QNAP NAS not available to Roon

I have a problem adding a folder from my NAS Drive (QNAP). Roon Rock lost the connection to the NAS when I had to do some work which involved the NAS being out of action for a while (checking the file system after a power failure). There are two directories on the NAS (the format is determined by by Naim equipment). Roon Rock said today that I had not imported any files - that is it had lost all the files (over 3000 albums) it had imported 13 days ago. I checked storage settings and it said “this directory is not available” about both folders. After a while it made contacted with one folder and has imported all the albums. But I cannot get it to make contact with the other larger folder. I have removed the folder several times and added it as a new network share adding all the passwords but with no luck. What can I do please? Obviously in future I will power down Roon Rock on my NUC before doing any work on my NAS drives.

Can you post an image of your storage settings?

You mean like this -

No idea whether this has worked

Hey @Paul_Mason — Thanks for reaching out!

Are you able to access \\MUSICDRIVE1\Naim_Rips over the network from other machines? Have any permissions or share settings been changed on this drive?

-Dylan

Yes I have checked the NAS drive files and I am currently playing music from the ripped folder on the NAS using JRiverMedia - from my desktop to my Naim player. All seems to be working fine.

Paul

Thanks for confirming that, @Paul_Mason.

Since this has started have you tried power cycling your NAS and ROCK device?

-Dylan

Yes I have earlier and I have just restarted again it with no effect.

Paul

Dylan - I have just tried again and Rock is now importing files from Naim_Rips! No idea why it has done this.
