kaiguy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I like to keep my cache drive clean, so I have created directories on my cache for my appdata (.appdata) and docker (.docker) folders. Today, I realized that I have .appdata and .docker directories within my user share directory. I don't recall this in the past. I have not actually created any cache-only user shares, just created the directories with the leading dot like I have in previous versions of unRAID. I guess I'm just curious if this is by design. Longtime user, but this one was strange for me. Thanks! Link to comment

If you disable shares entirely (Settings -> Global Share Settings), then this will not happen. If shares are enabled, then any top-level directories on a device will be presented as a user share, although hidden directories (like yours) won't be exposed over network file sharing protocols. Make sense? Link to comment
kaiguy Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Makes perfect sense. Thank you, Jon. I guess I've just never noticed that before. Thanks! Link to comment
RobJ Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I assume you have upgraded to a v6.1-rc? Read the v6.1-rc1 announcement post, look for 'hidden objects', then read about the new setting in the v6.1-rc2 post. Link to comment

I recall reading about the toggle for SMB shares, but I guess I missed the other part. So many changes to keep track of in these RCs. Link to comment
