Below what I am getting when trying to see appdata as user share. Any idea what can be driving this. Config below. Can post diagnostic log if helpful. Please let me know.

root@Tower:~# ls /mnt/user/appdata

/mnt/user/appdata@

Exclusive access: Yes

Primary storage: Cache

Secondary storage: None

Export: Yes

Case-sensitive names: Auto

Security: Public

You should never try to export appdata share; Docker containers typically have specific permissions that are not compatible with SMB.

Thanks. Changed it, but same issue.

I thought you were unable to access it over SMB, not locally. That's a different issue, start by rebooting and posting the diags after array start.

I am able to access it over /mnt/cache/appdata, but not over /mnt/user/appdata. I am referring to "ls command" after SSH into the server.

Rebooted and still cannot access appdata as user share. See below diagnostic file. Thanks for looking into this.

What do you get from ls -l /mnt/user

Here we go:

root@Tower:~# ls -l /mnt/user

total 8

lrwxrwxrwx 17 nobody users 4096 Jan 10 07:56 appdata -> ../cache/appdata/

drwxrwxrwx 1 myname users 149 Jan 10 03:07 backup/

drwxrwxrwx 1 myname users 35 Jan 10 08:29 backup-music/

drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 63 Jan 9 23:55 data/

lrwxrwxrwx 3 nobody users 24 Dec 20 2022 domains -> ../cache/domains/

lrwxrwxrwx 2 nobody users 106 Jul 3 2025 isos -> ../cache/isos/

lrwxrwxrwx 4 nobody users 56 Dec 25 2022 system -> ../cache/system/

I missed this before; this is the normal output with an exclusive share. If you want to see where the link points, you need to use ls -l /mnt/user/appdata

But based on the above output, you can use ls -l /mnt/cache/appdata

Note that you can still so a cd /mnt/user/appdata, and that will still work.

Got it, so this is expected behaviour and still can access the files via /mnt/user/..., but just "ls" doesn't work for exclusive shares?

Correct, unless you use the actual disk path.
