March 22, 201610 yr Hi Please can someone report back whether they are able to create VHD or VHDX files (using windows disk management) inside a SAMBA share using 6.2b19? This used to work for me in 6.1.9 but no more. This means that I need to copy any existing vhd files from the network share to my windows guest before I can mount it.
March 22, 201610 yr Yes, same issue here. Since Battle.net and Origin did not work with shares/symlinks I used VHDs. Cant mount them right not through the gui disk management. Interestingly, same applies to ISO Images (DVD/BluRay). Works fine from the desktop, but i get an error through the share. It seems thats a common issue since Win8, because MS changed the way it worked. (its running as "SYSTEM") Probably some permission issues, maybe Limetech changed something.

March 22, 201610 yr Seems so be a very old story of Linux vs. Microsoft.... Its a known issue since Samba 4.0 (2013...) If you add the following to "Settings" -> "SMB" -> "SMB Extras" in unRAID and restart the Array, VHD/ISO should work. Unless you really need SMB3 features, it should do the trick. max protocol= SMB2_02 As You can see, patches are still beeing applied... https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10159 The last fix is quite new, maybe not yet realeased and ready to use.

Nice find, this works. LT should add some fix to the next beta for us to test. Unfortunately though, I am still plagued by the download to samba share issue. No matter what program I use to download, firefox, chrome, IDM etc and save the DL to a SAMBA share, Windows explorer used to refresh and display the downloaded file in the list. It does not do this on SAMBA shares now. I tried this on a laptop and the same issue applies. Anyone else have this prob?
