February 13, 20179 yr I've obviously chosen no under SMB settings and I have a VM with a high o/s level set that should automatically win the election. I have a second unRAID on a different network and this exact setup works fine and it used to work on this one as well but now dosn't. Only two changes was that I replaced the VM with a VM that has a newer version of Ubuntu and I upgraded unRAID to 6.3.1 while the one that is working is still on 6.2.4. Is there some hidden setting that I can change in a config file that will make it so unRAID won't win the local master election?
February 13, 20179 yr Community Expert Are you trying to give Local Master to a VM running on unRAID? Why?
February 13, 20179 yr Author I am. The VM acts as a WINS server for cross-subnet browsing. I know I am supposed to be able to do that by just adding the same Samba configuration in the extra configuration area but when I do that it doesn't work. I've tried more than once and it just doesn't work and I can't figure out why. That said it works fine using a VM so I've been doing it that way. Problem is the unRAID under 6.3.1 will not give up local master but I know it iis possible because my 6.2.4 unRAID at the other subnet allows the VM to be local master.
