March 8, 200818 yr Hi, I would like to see the addition of a read-only super-share that includes all (or user-defined) disks. E.g.: Existing user-shares -------------------------- disk1-5 Videos disk6-12 Series disk13-15 Music disk15 Documents New read-only super-share ------------------------------------ disk1-15 Array This Super-Share would include: Videos Series Music Documents Thanks. Harald
March 8, 200818 yr This will get you close... type the following commands, or add them to the end of your "go" script. (If you type them, you do not need to do the "sleep" command, it is only to give the array time to come on-line in the "go" script. You only need the echo commands. sleep 30 echo "[superShare]" >>/etc/samba/smb.shares echo "path = /mnt/" >>/etc/samba/smb.shares echo "read only = Yes" >>/etc/samba/smb.shares echo "force user = root" >>/etc/samba/smb.shares echo "map archive = Yes" >>/etc/samba/smb.shares echo "map system = Yes" >>/etc/samba/smb.shares echo "map hidden = Yes" >>/etc/samba/smb.shares echo "create mask = 0711" >>/etc/samba/smb.shares echo "directory mask = 0711" >>/etc/samba/smb.shares smbcontrol smbd reload-config
March 9, 200818 yr Author This will get you close... Not close enough ;-) I will see the disks within this Samba share. That's not what I tried to see. My "Super-Share" would show the total of all user-shares: /mnt/user/Videos (disk1-5) /mnt/user/Series (disk6-12) /mnt/user/Music (disk13-15) /mnt/user/Documents (disk15) Will result in... /mnt/user/SuperShare (disk1-15) ... and show /Documents /Music /Series /Videos Harald
March 9, 200818 yr AS a quick test I created a directory on /mnt as mkdir /mnt/superusershare Then I linked in the directories I wanted to expose. root@unraid:/mnt# cd superusershare/ root@unraid:/mnt/superusershare# ln -s ../user/images images root@unraid:/mnt/superusershare# ln -s ../user/video video root@unraid:/mnt/superusershare# ln -s ../user/music music Then I added a segment to /etc/samba/smb.shares like root@unraid:/etc/samba# cat <<-EOF >> /etc/samba/smb.shares > [superUserShare] > path = /mnt/superusershare > read only = Yes > force user = root > map archive = Yes > map system = Yes > map hidden = Yes > create mask = 0711 > directory mask = 0711 > EOF Then I did smbcontrol smbd reload-config I "think" this is what you want. Try it out, if so we can create a scriptlet to automate it.
March 9, 200818 yr Author Try it out, if so we can create a scriptlet to automate it. Great stuff!!! Thanks. Some small questions: 1.) Why /mnt/superusershare and not /mnt/user/superusershare? 2.) After thinking about the name I would take the machines name (e.g. /mnt/user/Tower). 3.) How can I remove the symbolic links - somewhere in my head is some sort of a caution sign ... 4.) I think this is a small enhancement that should find it's way to the GUI below "user shares" on the "Shares" page: Create read-only global user share: Enabled, Disabled. Would be cool. Regards Harald
March 9, 200818 yr Try it out, if so we can create a scriptlet to automate it. Great stuff!!! Thanks. Some small questions: 1.) Why /mnt/superusershare and not /mnt/user/superusershare? /mnt/user is in Tom's user share file-system. It does not support symbolic links. 2.) After thinking about the name I would take the machines name (e.g. /mnt/user/Tower). Then change the one line in the script from "[superUserShare]" to "[Tower]" You can also rename the mount-point directory if you like, just change the name appropriately. A mount point in Linux is simply an empty directory. It can be almost anywhere and be named as you like. 3.) How can I remove the symbolic links - somewhere in my head is some sort of a caution sign ... rm link_name 4.) I think this is a small enhancement that should find it's way to the GUI below "user shares" on the "Shares" page: Create read-only global user share: Enabled, Disabled. I think MANY other items on the laundry list should come before this, especially since you can do it on your own. You would have to take a poll of other that would need it on the gui and present your case why it should come before NFS, Native NTFS support, UPS Support, E-Mail report of failures, etc., especially since the configuration of the symbolic links to the folders on the other disks can be very complicated and unique based on how you want to present the data.

March 9, 200818 yr Author I think MANY other items on the laundry list should come before this, especially since you can do it on your own. You are correct - many things are more important. I just wanted to add this to the list. I don't care about it's current position. Thanks Harald
March 10, 200818 yr Here's my script. - S90-smb-shares Hope it helps. Also, I would not worry about the sym links, once you reboot they are gone! #!/bin/sh if [ ${DEBUG:=0} -gt 0 ] then set -x -v fi SU_SHARE_NAME=superusershare SU_SHARE_NAME=tower if [ ! -d /mnt/$SU_SHARE_NAME ] then mkdir /mnt/$SU_SHARE_NAME fi cd /mnt/$SU_SHARE_NAME || (echo "cannot cd: /mnt/$SU_SHARE_NAME";exit) while read SHARENAME do SHARENAME=${SHARENAME%#*} # Comment ? if [ -z "${SHARENAME}" ] # Skip if null/comment then continue fi # echo "SHARE: $SHARENAME" if [ -d ../user/${SHARENAME} ] then if [ ! -L ${SHARENAME} ] then ln -s ../user/${SHARENAME} ${SHARENAME} fi else echo "User share: ${SHARENAME} does not exist on /mnt/user" fi done <<-EOF # pub video images # porn LOL!!!! music EOF if grep $SU_SHARE_NAME /etc/samba/smb.shares > /dev/null 2>&1 then echo "Share definition: $SU_SHARE_NAME already exists. skipping" exit fi cat <<-EOF >> /etc/samba/smb.shares [mnt] path = /mnt/ read only = Yes force user = root map archive = Yes map system = Yes map hidden = Yes create mask = 0711 directory mask = 0711 [$SU_SHARE_NAME] path = /mnt/$SU_SHARE_NAME read only = Yes force user = root map archive = Yes map system = Yes map hidden = Yes create mask = 0711 directory mask = 0711 EOF smbcontrol smbd reload-config
