CLOSED: Dashboard exception

I just returned from 4 week holiday. My Amahi server( 7.1 on Fedora 19) was shut down while I was away.
The machine starts up as normal, all shares and web apps are available, but when I try to access the Dashboard I get a funny page saying " The Dashboard has encountered an exception". It is suggested the the problem is due to lack of disk space or memory shortage. I do not see any problem with the filesystem listing:
Code: Select all
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 32G 8.3G 22G 28% /
devtmpfs 911M 0 911M 0% /dev
tmpfs 918M 99k 918M 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 918M 1.1M 917M 1% /run
tmpfs 918M 0 918M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 918M 685k 917M 1% /tmp
/dev/sdc1 3.0T 3.0T 892M 100% /media
/dev/sda1 199M 100M 85M 54% /boot
none 4.2M 0 4.2M 0% /var/spool/greyhole/mem
/dev/mapper/truecrypt1 2.9T 2.2T 570G 80% /var/hda/files
How can this problem occure simply by a machine reboot (after 4 weeks shut down)?
Any suggestions that may help me out with this problem will be appreciated

Are you using Greyhole?
I see this one as a potential problem maybe:
/dev/sdc1 3.0T 3.0T 892M 100% /media
The drive is full.

The reason for it says 100% is because it is a truecryp container. This has been working like a charm since installation of Amahi 7.
But I tried just for fun to remove it and see if it had any effect to the "Dashboard Exception" problem:
Code: Select all
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 32G 8.3G 22G 28% /
devtmpfs 911M 0 911M 0% /dev
tmpfs 918M 99k 918M 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 918M 988k 917M 1% /run
tmpfs 918M 0 918M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 918M 33k 918M 1% /tmp
/dev/sda1 199M 100M 85M 54% /boot
none 4.2M 0 4.2M 0% /var/spool/greyhole/mem
But the problem persist. Any suggestions for more troubleshooting tips?

Have you installed the latest OS updates. There have been updates to Amahi 7 recently that may or may not be a contributing factor.
We do not support using Truecrypt containers, so hopefully for you that is not related. Recommend you check the /var/log directory files for clues on the issue.
Also you can do this as root user:
If it's running, that is good. If not, try starting it by replacing
status with
start.

This is what I get:
Code: Select all

Is this what to expect?

Tough nut this!
I check my var/hda/files with the ls -l command:
Code: Select all

How is this listing supposed to look like? One thing that strikes me is the user #1000. Who is this. My id is 1002. I checked in /etc/passwd and there is no user #1000.

You can correct that easily.
Code: Select all
chown -R tnodland:users /var/hda/files

I fix the shares with correct owner, but it did not do the trick.
I did even a re boot.
But what about this smbd.log error??:
Code: Select all

Has there been a power outage?
Your issues are unique and may require extensive research to repair.
