Hello, i seem to forgot how to populate a share to the disk location. I checked a lot of youtube videos but no one in there adds the data.

 

Global settings

enable disk shares    yes

enable user shares   yes

included disks          all

exluded  disk           none

Permit exclusive shares no

tuneable                Yes

tuneable   direct io  auto

When i try to set it in the shares tab the drop downs on read write only shows the other shares.

When i did this before it was covered on space invaders how to set up unraid series but i cant seem to find them.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

i am not stepladder. Google login is wonky

Having a hard time imagining what you are trying to do.

Maybe a screenshot would clarify.

I recommend not sharing disks on the network.

if i share disk over network it will be temporary.

What i want to do is put the files that are not in other shares. Like the first time you make a share

and yes i had to remind my self how to do srceenshots.

Please close irrelevant windows when you get screenshots. Even better if you figure out how to get a screenshot that only includes the important part of the screen instead of everything on your monitor.

 

Still don't understand what you are trying to do.

 

I recommend not naming a share "Array".

 

What do you mean by

Do some of your disks have files that are at the top level and not in folders?

Fixed screen shot.

 

What i am having a hard time with is i create a share i can add any files for it

I am trying to move files from other parts of the array that i cant seem to access.

I even tried krusader and couldn't access the files i'm looking for

Why do you think they exist? Do you have an example?

Have you exported the share with SMB or NFS?

I will probably just go away if you don't.

exported with SMD only.

I created other shares a few months ago and i didn't change any settings, before this issue

I just realized  the my SMB settings don't show.

Export     Yes

Case sensitive      Auto

Security     Public

Thank you for your patience

Your appdata, domains, and system shares are on the array, but we can deal with that later.

 

What user share are you trying access?

ok say i want my TV shares to access the TV folder on the the disk(s)

I should be able to find the folder and and have the files available.

I thought it was the read write buttons. The read section, only has the arrow box which only shows my existing shares

The read and write buttons are greyed out even on the shares i have

According to your Diagnostics, you don't have a User Share named TV.

 

User shares are simply the combined top level folders on array and pools.

 

If you create a user share, Unraid creates a top level folder named for the share, on array and pools as needed in accordance with the settings you make for that share.

 

Conversely, if you have a top level folder on array or pools, it is automatically part of a user share named for the folder. All other top level folders on other disks or pools with that same name are part of that same user share.

 

Any user share you haven't made settings for have defaults.

 

 

TV was just an example

OK lets try this

I have a folder named flac its some where on the array. it is filed with flac files. I want to make a Share name Flac to share this folder in windows and be able to move a song to windows

Move the flac folder to the root of the disk and it will automatically become a share, then you can go to the shares page in the GUI and export it with SMB.

I looked at your Diagnostics file and I suspect that the 'Flac' files are inside of the -M----a' share.  Open up the 'M----a' share in Windows (File) Explorer and find the 'Flac' folder. 

 

Are you familiar with the concept of of Mapped Drives on your Windows computer?  If not, look at this Microsoft website:

 

      https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/map-a-network-drive-in-windows-29ce55d1-34e3-a7e2-4801-131475f9557d

 

You now know the path down to the 'Flac' folder, so just browse down to it and set it up. 

 

Note that if you want to "Reconnect at sign-in", it would be best if you setup a Windows Credential in Credential Manager unless the 'M----a' Share is 'Public'.

OK i think i got this figured out. My test flac went well.

 

So can i do something like this to the whole drive pool to look for stuff using the windows explorer. I am unused to unix files

 

and again thanks

Install Dynamix File Manager, it will let you work with folders and files directly on the server.

Thank you Krusader is a little weird
