[SOLVED] Map all the shares to one drive (windows)

[DrMexSS]

Hi,

 

I have a little doubt about mapping user shares.

 

My unraid box (Tower) has 7 disks. And I have 3 shares:

Tower/TV

Tower/Movies

Tower/MoviesHD

 

If I map each share , I achieve the following:

Tower/TV : mapped to X:

Tower/Movies: mapped to Y:

Tower/MoviesHD : mapped to Z:

 

So, so for example, if I click on X: I have the following structure:

X:/How I met your mother

X:/The Big Bang Theory

...etc

 

However, I want to have ONE disk with ALL the user shares. For example, lets call it W:. So, if I click on W: I want to have the following:

W:/TV

W:/Movies

W:/MoviesHD

 

How can I do that with Windows 7?

 

Thank you so much.

You need to create a new share and then create symlinks on your unRaid system, then map a network drive to that new share.

 

Hopefully someone else can come and verify these steps.

 

1) Create a new share on unRaid, "Videos".

2) cd /mnt/user/Videos

3) ln -s /mnt/user/Movies

4) ln -s /mnt/user/TV

5) ln -s /mnt/user/MoviesHD

6) On your windows 7 machine, map a new network drive to "Videos"

 

 

Now you should be able to see Tower/Videos/TV , Tower/Videos/Movies and Tower/Videos/MoviesHD.

Why not just create one share on UnRAID? (for example "Media")... under that share have directories named TV, Movies & MoviesHD... on Windows map W: to Tower\Media.

Thank you so much for the responses! you are the best.

 

I wanted to avoid the step of creating a new folder, because otherwise I have to change different programs that point to the original folders.

 

I will try the eroz solution.

 

Thanks again.
