User Shares don't show up in Windows

Featured Replies

None of my user shares show up in Windows (7 or 10), and they never have. It appears to me that my setting are correct, so where the heck are they? In SMB Settings I have Enable SMB Yes (Workgroup).

Workgroup: WORKGROUP

Local master: Yes

 

Does Windows 10 even use a Workgroup?

What's that one right at the top - the User share that appears not to have a name? Is it called " " or is it some string of unprintable characters? It's probably not allowed by Samba and is messing things up and preventing the rest from being exported?

 

Post your diagnostics zip.

 

Two other things to try (I had this happen to me) - 1) turn off your firewall - for me, BitDefender doesn't handle Samba properly - I had to turn off it's firewall, and turn on Windows Firewall.  2) Do a map network drive like this: \\192.168.1.8\Movies - for me, even though I couldn't "browse" the volumes, I could directly mount them by IP address and share name.....

That does not work. I can access as \\192.168.1.1\Disk1\Movies

I can also browse shares on other linux boxes on the Lan, just not UnRaid

post the results of
ls -al /mnt/user

 

Odds on its the blank share name which probably has some really messed up characters in it

Try renaming it:

 

mv "/mnt/user/ " /mnt/user/newname

 

  • Author

anything within it?

 

ls -al "/mnt/user/ "

 

Yes, see my post above. All the shares are listed as directories.

  • Author

It's always worked this way where the shares don't show up when browesing, have to go to "Disk1" etc to find them. Even on UnRaid 5.x

 

Maybe I need to start over from scratch? That's a lot of data to move around, but maybe it would fix it.

Rename the share.

 

Looking at your syslog, two things strike me.

 

1. This needs addressing:

 

Sep 26 20:50:01 Bedrock crond[1303]: exit status 127 from user root /usr/local/sbin/monitor &> /dev/null
Sep 26 20:51:01 Bedrock crond[1303]: exit status 127 from user root /usr/local/sbin/monitor &> /dev/null
Sep 26 20:52:01 Bedrock crond[1303]: exit status 127 from user root /usr/local/sbin/monitor &> /dev/null
Sep 26 20:53:01 Bedrock crond[1303]: exit status 127 from user root /usr/local/sbin/monitor &> /dev/null
...

 

2. Either it's a very old syslog or your date/time is wrong.

 

But rename the share first.

What people are telling you is you have a user share and the name of that user share is simply a single space character. You need to rename it or if there is nothing in it you can delete it.

And then make sure you don't have something misconfigured that resulted in that folder being created in the first place or it will happen again.

  • Community Expert

anything within it?

 

ls -al "/mnt/user/ "

Looks like another job for the Common Problems plugin. SMB share names that are not legal Windows folder names.

Apparently the filename on disk was indeed " ", or a single space. Much easier to confirm that using MC rather than just the CLI.

 

Renamed it to "junk" but it still appears in the list of user shares.

 

I renamed it to junk in /etc/smb-shares.conf then stopped and started the array. Maybe I should have restarted the array before doing this, but whatever, it worked!

 

Thanks guys!

Glad to hear you fixed it. Now you ought to take a look at the issue that's reported in your syslog every minute, and check your system date and time.
