DrMexSS Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
eroz Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 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.

lainie Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
DrMexSS Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 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.
