I've got my unRAID machine up with some test drives in it but I'm having issues with the user shares feature.

 

I've a Movies directory in the root of both drives, I have User shares enabled.

 

If I copy data to the Movies share it appears in /mnt/user/Movies (this is a hard disk installed system) but not on either /mnt/disk1/Movies or /mnt/disk2/Movies, if I run mount I don't see anything mounted on /mnt/user/Movies and 'ps ax | grep sh' shows no instances of shfs running.

 

If I manually mount an shfs (shfs /tmp/test /mnt/disk1 /mnt/disk2) I see everything from the Movies directory of both volumes under the mount point so it appears that emhttp isn't mounting the shfs volumes.

 

EDIT: when I manually mount a shfs using the above command I can see what's in the two Movies directories under the Movies directory on the share but writing to the share I filled the first disk and now although the second disk is empty when I attempt to write any more data to the share I get an error telling me there is no more space on the drive.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

You are going to need advice from someone with more Linux experience than I have, but it sounds like you have created a custom system?  Could you provide more detail as to how you are booting, what customizing you have done, how you are starting emhttp, etc?

That is usually a matter of getting the User Share settings correct, especially the Allocation method and Split Level settings.  You may wish to read the FAQ, User Shares section.

Not a particularly customised system.

 

Followed the steps here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2073.0 so essentially the only thing that's changed is my Kernel.

 

I'm not launching emhttp myself it's being launched by /boot/config/go from rc.local (as copied from the standard distribution).

Yeah, resolved that last night, had my split level set to 0 not 1.

There are notes in that thread that indicate that User Shares were not installed as a part of it.  I think the very last post is a question from a user as to how to add User Share support, but it was never answered.  You might bump it, see if anyone now can help.
