Hello!

 

After spending some time on various threads I'm finally getting ready to build my first Unraid NAS.

 

The one thing that I'm still foggy about is the share structure setup.

I often see Trash Guides being referenced as a preferred way.

But it's not obvious to me if it's being suggested for just one specific usage case applicable to users running various **arr's, using hardlinks and moving data via atomic moves.

 

My usage case is strictly as a storage/media server. No use of torrents or **arr's

Thanks

Do you have a strong desire to see the server as a single mount point on your client machines, or would you rather see different categories, with possible permission differences where 1 person may only have access to TV shows and Movies, and another user have access to the documents share?

I'd like to have a server with different categories (Movies, TV Shows, Pictures, Books, Music, Documents etc.) with each client having different permission rights to each of that category.

Create a share for each category.
