July 10, 201411 yr Is there a way to combine different shares into a single share? For example .. Shares: Movies Music TV Media (Where the subdirectories link to the other shares) -Movies -Music -TV I would think this would be possible by creating a new share and symlinking in to the others. I don't however know where that would be. How would I go about doing that? Is there a better way? Could you manage the permissions differently between the shares? Thanks in advance for the help.
July 10, 201411 yr Perhaps you should explain why you are thinking of doing this and what result you are looking for? There may be a better way to achieve the desired results.
July 11, 201411 yr Author More than anything I would like to be able to access the shares separately over the network but be able to mount them in windows as a single network drive in windows.
July 11, 201411 yr easy way would be to create a new share...whatever name you want "Media". open a telnet session cd /mnt/user/Media ln -s /mnt/user/Movies ln -s /mnt/user/Music ln -s /mnt/user/TV doing that then when you open the "Media" Share you will find the 3 additional shares as folders inside.
July 11, 201411 yr Author I think this is just what I wanted. The linked shares will behave according to their settings right? Such as split level and permissions will match the linked share settings?
