I have about 400 gigs of files on Disk 1. I copied them across the network to an exported smb disk share. I have now decided that I do not wish for my disks to be visible on the network. I only want Shares with Users.

Let's say that there is a directory called /foo on disk1

I want to create a share called foo  and create a user called foouser and enable foouser to see the directory /foo.

How do I go about this?

 

I have diligently searched but can't find an answer. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Global Share Settings - Enable user shares: Yes

 

Then you can go to the Shares page and create user shares and configure them.

 

You may find that you already have some, because any folder at the top level of cache or any array disk is automatically considered a part of a user share that is named the same as the folder. If you don't configure a share it will have defaults

 

You can only share top level folders.
