Hi,

 

I mapped one of my Buffalo Terastations to the first disk of a multi-disk (disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4, disk5) user-share:

 

mkdir /mnt/disk1/tmp

smbmount //192.168.2.9/Folder1 /mnt/disk1/tmp -o lfs

 

Now I want to copy the data to the user-share (not the physical disks). How can I do that? I don't find the user-shares.

 

Why I want to do this you ask?

 

1.) Sure, I can map two drives on my windows machine and copy the files with my file commander. But, for the initial load I don't want the network overhead that happens from/to the windows machine then.

 

2.) I don't want to care about the location of the data, I want unRAID to decide where to place the data according to my allocation-method, split-levels and included disks?

 

Hmm, what do I miss?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Harald

 

User shares are created for each "top-level" directories in the disk shares.

 

So... create a directory (or directories) on disk1 then stop and re-start the array, they should show up as shares on your network.  I have visible 4 top level folders on my server... Movies, TV, Music, Pictures, and one hidden folder for "data".

 

The user-shares automatically create folders under /mnt/user  That is where you will find them.

 

Assuming you made a "Movies" folder you can then copy them from your remotely mounted Terastation by typing:

umask 000

cd /mnt/disk1/tmp

cp -R * /mnt/user/Movies/

Slap. Do you hear the sound of my hand slapping my head? I simply didn't see them.

 

So I can write to the user-share and unRAID will decide what disk to go. Great.

 

Thanks a lot.
