bland328 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 It is possible/practical/not too terrible of an idea to rename the "flash" share as "boot" under unRAID 5? I ask only because when I bounce back and forth between administrative and development tasks via SSH and SMB, I'm forever getting "\flash\" vs. "/boot/" wrong on one side of the fence or the other. I know better, but apparently my fingers don't Thanks for any thoughts on this. B Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Train your fingers better ... As far as I know you can't change the flash share name. Quote Link to comment
WeeboTech Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 You can change it, but every time you stop and start the array it will be put back. I've never done it, however, you can try and make a secondary pointer to it by copying the FLASH block in /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf to a BOOT block in /boot/config/smb-extra.conf root@unRAID:/etc/samba# more smb.conf ... # configurable identification include = /etc/samba/smb-names.conf # log stuff only to syslog log level = 0 syslog = 0 syslog only = Yes # we don't do printers show add printer wizard = No disable spoolss = Yes load printers = No printing = bsd printcap name = /dev/null # misc. max protocol = SMB2 invalid users = root unix extensions = No wide links = Yes use sendfile = Yes aio read size = 0 aio write size = 0 # hook for user-defined samba config include = /boot/config/smb-extra.conf # auto-configured shares include = /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf here's the top of the /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf I cannot use the square brackets named FLASH here due to the forum specifics, but take a look at the file and perhaps put a chunk in the include file. path = /boot comment = Flash share browseable = yes # Public public = yes writeable = yes map archive = no map system = no map hidden = no map readonly = yes create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 Quote Link to comment
bland328 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Thanks, gentlemen! I agree that better finger (or brain?) training is probably the best answer...but now I'm very curious about whether the smb-extra.conf approach will do the trick. I'll try it and report back...

bland328 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Figured I'd have to reboot the box or restart a service or some such thing, but not needed...WeeboTech's suggestion worked perfectly (under admittedly limited testing) and immediately. Slick! Thank you. Edit: For future visitors, I'll point out that nothing has been renamed--instead a SMB "boot" alias has been created that also points to the boot drive. Quote Link to comment
