All unassigned devices are always automatically excluded from the shares because they are outside the array

Unclear what you are trying to do. As mentioned no Unassigned Devices are ever included in the User Shares. That is just a consequence of how the User Shares work.

 

But any Unassigned Device can be shared on the network and that is probably done more often than not. Is that what you are really asking about, how to share an Unassigned Device on the network?

Ah, how would I go about creating a shared folder on an unassigned device similarly to the way you create user shares in the array?

I can only find the share "switch" in the main tab, but that shares the whole device which is not what I want.

I only want to share a folder on/from the nvme called ISOs. Not sure if I am stupid now though.

 

[Unassigned Devices - Managing Disk Drives and Remote Shares Outside of The Unraid Array]

Hi!

 

Just wanted to say thanks for this plugin. I am building my second storage server and this plugin saved my butt as I have several drives outside the array.

 

I am however an UnRaid noob as this is my first unraid install and have only been configuring for a day or so.

Question, Is it possible to have an unassigned device to show up in UnRaid share menu "included/excluded disks"? As far as I can see its only the array disks showing up?

 

I want to create an ISO share on an nvme drive (to speed up deployments as I have docker and vms on this nvme drive). 

I did a manually with mkdir/chown using terminal instead as a work around, but I guess it would be preferred to do the "supported" way to have it show up everywhere.

I'm guessing this has been answered multiple times and I have sift through some of the 128 pages here and google but can't seem to find a clear answer.

 

Anyway, sorry for noob question and thanks again.
