Possible Security concern:

 

I have added cache drive and I noticed that a "cache" share showed up. 

 

I then checked /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf and it has a [cache] section with:

 

[cache]

path = /mnt/cache

comment = Disk share

browseable = yes

public = yes

writeable = yes

 

This mean that if I have a file that I write onto a secure/private share with the "Use cache disk" set to yes, then when the  file writes to a secure/private share, it will show up under the "cache" share until it moves the file with the mover script.

 

can someone confirm this?

 

latest version 5.0 is being used

I don't know, and I don't use a cache drive to test it with.

 

... but it seems VERY simple to test it.  Just do what you've described => write a file to your cache-enabled secure/private share;  then access your server from another PC (perhaps a laptop) and see if you can "see" the file on the cache.

 

I suspect it's not "shown" on the cache, but am not certain.  If it IS a "glitch", then clearly you could simply not enable cache for that share.

 

It is confirmed on my system that IS the case, but why is there a share of "cache" to be accessed by all (no security) during this period before the mover script.  If this a glitch, maybe a moderator can move this to the unRAID OS 5.x Issue List.

 

Thanks

If you click on "cache" in the main Web GUI, you can change the Export setting to No, and then the cache won't be available.

 

Thanks @garycase

 

Ok, I removed the "cache" in the main Web GUI.

 

I do admit that I was looking in the Shares section and didn't know where the "cache" was getting its share from.

 

However, Other folks should know that this possibility exist or have the "cache" share disabled by default when you add a "cache" disk for this identified security reason.
