The subject pretty much says it all.

Not sure about doing that, but you can create 2 user shares and then link the 2nd share to the 1st share so it will also show up inside the 1st share.

 

for example If I have 2 user shares called Jukebox and Movies.

I navigate to the user share I want to be the "parent".

cd /mnt/user/Jukebox

and then I use a symlink to make the 2nd share appear inside the first share

ln -s /mnt/user/Movies

Another way is to define the share in a specific file in the config folder of your flash drive by hand.  It can point anywhere you like, and have any permissions you like.

 

The file is

config/smb-extra.conf

 

Create the file if it does not exist. 

 

In it, put a series of lines like this:

[Your Sub Share]

        path = /mnt/user/Movies/Kids

        read only = Yes

 

The share name in the "[" "]' brackets can be whatever you want to see on the LAN

The path can be to any folder on any disk you like.    (In the above example, it is a "Kids" subdirectory under "Movies")

I also included a line to make the shared directory read-only.  If you want it writable, either leave off that line, or change it to "read only = no"

 

I'm not certain, but I think the file must NOT have trailing carriage returns on the ends of the lines, so don't create it using windows notepad, as windows puts carriage returns on the ends of lines.  Therefore, Use an editor that DOES NOT add MS-Dos style carriage returns at the ends of the lines.

 

Once you have the file in place, you can stop the unRAID server from its management interface, then re-Start it, and the new share should show up on your LAN. Or, if you do not want to stop and re-start the array you can type:

smbcontrol smbd reload-config

at the linux command prompt.

Cool. I will give this a try. Thanks.
