Hello, I've just setup my first unraid server, I've got my drives all formatted and my array created. I added a share, set it to secure, created a user and gave it read/write permissions.  When I attempt to connect to the machine in windows 11, I can, however tower does not populate any available folders. When I attempt to connect in linux mint, I get an error that says "unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server: invalid argument". 

 

When I console into unraid, I cat /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf, and the file is empty. I could use some help in proceeding from here please.

 

Thanks

Is the array started?

 

Post your diagnostics

yes, the array is started

Checking your Media share, it's not exported.  You need to export it on the SMB settings for it to be available on the network

that helped with windows, thank you for that.

 

With linux however, I still see the same error: "unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server: invalid argument". 

 

Any thoughts there?

I tried to enable NFS, that did not help

Don't know much about NFS.  SMB should mount however

ya, I tried connecting to the IP of the unraid server instead of using the hostname, but I get the same error. Interestingly enough, if I attempt to connect to smb://unraid.ip/sharename I can browse to the location anonymously, but it won't accept my credentials for my read/write user

After a reboot of the linux host, when I attempt to connect to smb://unraid.ip/sharename, it can now login with my read/write user.

 

Thanks for your help
