6.11.5 - MIssing "Unraid" User Share

[Penguin]

Greetings everyone,

 

One of my Unraid servers doesn't appear to have the 'Unraid' User Share (pointing to /mnt/user/unraid) and I can't seem to be able to make it. My understanding is that it's a standard one.

I have upgraded recently from 6.9.2, but it wasn't there as well, so perhaps it's not related to that upgrade.

How do I create it again?

 

Sorry if it's a stupid question and thanks for your help.

It is NOT a standard share.

 

If you want a share named "Unraid" you need to create it.

Thanks, I don't recall creating it in my other server though...

Creating a new share with such a name in the UI will place it along with others like /mnt/user/unraid/unraid and it's not what I need, which is a share to the root of all shares.

How do you do it to be created there in /mnt/user/ to look like this /mnt/user/unraid?

 

Appreciate your help!

 

Here's how it's done elsewhere:

Since what you're describing is not a normal share, Maybe you did it via Unassigned Devices or had followed some Social Media Influenza unraider?

 

 

Specifically this part of that post sounds similar, but you used a different name for it than "rootshare":

Root Share

 

You can create a root share in UD and collect all your shares in /mnt/user/ into one named root share.  The root share is then accessible at /Tower/rootshare.  There are some advantages and disadvantages to this approach:

• You control the root share permissions in UD Security settings.
• You may increase your risk of a malware attack by having all your shares accessible on one root share.  Use secure passowrds!

The path to the user shares is /mnt/user. The path to a user share named unraid is /mnt/user/unraid.

like /mnt/user/unraid/unraid

That is a folder named unraid in a user share named unraid.

 

With Unassigned Devices, the path to the rootshare is /mnt/rootshare.

 

Not sure how you did a root share on your other systems. Possibly something in SMB Extra.

Thanks Guys! I'll double check it, but I reckon this should help.

UD lets you name it whatever you want:
