Root share Question

[Gazzo]

Hey everyone,

I have 2 Unraid computers, Machine 1 and Machine 2. I want to back up Machine 1 to Machine 2. I thought the easiest way is to set up a root share on Machine 1 and mount it on Machine 2 to back up the files that way. Is this possible? I've seen that you can set up root share access from a Windows PC but haven't seen it done successfully in Unraid. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

You should be able to set up and mount root shares with the UD plugin.

So I've tried mounting the share to Machine 2 but I get a access denied. On Machine 1, I have it set to "Share" and the following settings for SMB config. What am I missing? 

path = /mnt/user
comment =
browseable = yes
public = no
valid users = 
write list = 
writeable = yes
vfs objects =

Recommend asking in the UD plugin support thread.

According to that you do not have the share set to be public, but you also have not set up any users set that are allowed to access the share!

Thanks, I'll post to the UD plugin support thread.

 

itimpi - I've changed public to yes. Still the same. If I add a user to the valid users, I still get the same result as well. I have the user created on Machine 1 and 2 with the same credentials. I do notice that when mounting the root share on Machine 2, I'm not asked to enter any credentials. Not sure if there is a specific text config to add to Machine 2 where the root share is to be mounted.
