pretty simple question really, is it possible to have all user shares in a folder called /users/ and then sub folders?

 

so:

/mnt/users/matt/  (where user: matt has read/write permissions the share)

/mnt/users/lane/  (where user: lane has read/write permissions the share)

/mnt/users/savannah/  (where user: savannah has read/write permissions the share)

 

and so on.  I keep googling and searching the forums but I'm coming up with a lot of other stuff that doesn't address this.

 

I suspect it is not because of how the configs are created, but I thought I'd ask anyway

 

Thanks

UnRAID user shares are created in the path "/mnt/user" (no 's' after user).

 

For example, creating a share named "media" in the UnRAID web menu will create a share on the server at "/mnt/user/media"

You can then create as many directories under a share as you like; ie. tv & movies directories at "/mnt/user/media/tv" & "/mnt/user/media/movies"

 

Are you specifically asking if it can be "users" instead of "user"?

DOH!  I knew that, and it's not what I meant to ask....stupid late night posts.....I mixed up my windows and linux stuff

 

what I want are a folders called \\tower\users\matt, \\tower\users\lane etc

 

so in linux it would be /mnt/user/users/matt, /mnt/user/users/lane etc.

 

I don't want each user's folder in the root of \\tower basically, but I think they have to be....am I right?

 

I can't believe I f'd up asking that question.....

Yes,but you must use config/smb-extra.conf to set up the subdirectory shares

awesome, so no way to do it through the GUI, but I can figure out a conf file. 

 

Thanks a bunch!

 

awesome, so I have it working like this:

 

[Matt]
   path = /mnt/user/Users/Matt
   valid users = matt, root
   write list = matt, root
   force user = root
   create mask = 0711
   directory mask = 0711
   
[Lane]
   path = /mnt/user/Users/Lane
   valid users = lane, root
   write list = lane, root
   force user = root
   create mask = 0711
   directory mask = 0711

 

then I assume if I want to lock down \\tower\Users\  I need to password protect that folder in the original share, I assume this will not affect the smb-extra.conf shares?

 

 

and here's a (maybe) less dumb question....as I (FINALLY) start to lock down my shares, will my programs have problems with it?  if I want to secure the "sabnzbd" folder, if I give root and myself access to it, will that be enough?  when things run from the "Go" script, who is running them?

   directory mask = 0711

correct.  Or not export it at all.
