December 2, 2025Dec 2 My smaller UnRaid server has the same share settings, compared side-by-side as the large server. Yet the share is not able to be assigned to the larger server for remote access and clicking on the server name as it shows up in network explorer gives the typical "windows cannot access error." This share was for the docker UrBackup.Additionally, as a test, I have tried to create new shares, and after fill in the share name, primary storage and secondary storage, when I select done, it closes out, but no share is created. Tried this several times. Would The setup on this smaller UnRaid is there is no parity drive. Cache drive is a 256 gb nvme drive and the second drive called Storage is a 1TB mechanical drive. Been a long day, but I remember creating the UrBackup share. Export is enabled. Security is public. But I cannot get to it outside of the UrBackup application and I cannot create any new shares on this smaller UnRaid server. Is this not possible with this unique setup or what am I missing? As always, I appreciate the great support. My large UnRaid with 8 drives works flawlessly.Only thing I see in the log is attached which just keeps repeating itself.

December 2, 2025Dec 2 Author Solution Great advice by everyone. Weird, but the storage drive even though it was written to earlier from the cache, I noticed later this evening it said it was not formatted. Once I formatted it, it allowed me to create shares again. Additionally, and this I should have remembered from the larger server, I had to create a unique user for my Windows PC to see the share. I really appreciate both suggestions as those will come in handy for future reference!

You must have a login (and use it) to the server before it will permit a connection.
