Hi folks,

Might've run into a bug im not sure, I just cannot get SMB working with windows and Unraid. I've had zero issues with Synology units in the past fwiw.

I keep getting the below error when i attempt to map the share.


What I've done:
1. Created another user (not trying with root)

2. gone to the share, and granted that user R/W access

3. Screenshot:
   

4. I have however noticed when i go to users, select the user, it doesn't show under the user that it has access to anything:
   
   Is this a known bug, any workarounds? Its driving me mad lol. Thanks in advance.

If you are using Windows 11 24H2 see here:

Thanks i've tried enabling SMB signing by adding ntlm auth = Yes to the SMB settings section. Didnt help I guess. Will try disable it on the Windows side now.

Was already disabled, I'm still wondering why the share won't load under the user within unraid itself per my screenshot. Still not working.

Enable the flash share and see if you can access that, you can also try accessing from a different computer or even a phone, to see if it's not a client problem, there's nothing special about Unraid SMB

This condition can result if Export: is not set to 'Yes" in the SHARE-name settings.

I can tell you that this share does not show up under the User as shown here (Notice that BackupMedia is not shown in the list):

This was indeed the fix, thank you very much.
