Hello, just installed unraid 4.5.3 last night, everything went smooth.  Only have two drives for now , wanted to make sure my hardware is compatible before buying pro.  Anyways my problem is trying to see my unraid from my other computers.  I created 2 user shares but can't see them from any of my computers.  I've tried from is osx 10.5.6, xp, vista, and win 7.  I can't see them from any computer but I have no roblems getting into the web interface or telnetng to the server from any of these computers.  Did I do something wrong?  Just want to be able to r/w to the shares from all of my compters...

 

 

Thanks for your help!

Have you also enabled samba for those shares? For Mac OS X to see the NFS shares you have to put the insucure option on the export in unRAID. Check the forum, there are a lot postings re this. And on Windows NFS is not enabled per default.

 

Btw, can you see the Disk shares? You should be able to see /mnt/disk1 and /mnt/disk2 via NFS respectively disk1 and disk2 via Samba (native Windows CIFS Networking).

 

Are you sure no host firewall is blocking file sharing on your client computers? HTTP is usually always enabled but with file sharing this isn't always the case...

Ill look through the forum for enabling samba.  Here is an example of my share.cfg files

 

root@Tower:/boot/config/shares# cat Movies.cfg

# Generated settings:

shareExport=e

shareExportNfs=

shareComment=Movies

shareValidUsers=

shareInvalidUsers=

shareExceptions=

shareInclude=

shareExclude=

shareAllocator=highwater

shareSplitLevel=1

shareFloor=100000

 

I don't know what you mean by NFS?  Sorry I am a super newb. 

 

Looks basically ok. I suspect host based firewalls on your clients. Could you turn off firewalls and try again?

 

Take a look in the Wiki here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=UnRAID_Wiki and here is the FAQ http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ they both contain infos about mounting shares and what to look after.

 

Here some direct links for NFS on Mac OS X: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5234, also here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5700

 

on a side note what is that floor value in?  KB/MB?  My firewall is disabled on my mb.

I've read through those articles on setting up NFS but I'm lost.  I'm used to the windows world where I can just say //ipaddress/C$.  I have snow leopard, and created this through the disk utility:

 

 

but I don't know where to go from there.....  Thanks.

What happens on Mac OS X in Finder, pressing Command-k (command & small k) and inputing "smb://tower/disk1"? Of course without the ". Tower must be the IP address of your unRAID box. Try also "smb://tower/flash" and report what happens.

Thank you again for the advice, I'll try this on Sunday and give you an update.  I will be afk until then.

THE COMMAND K WORKED!!!!!! Thank you so much I want to have your babies! jk.  Now I can read and write to the user shares.  When I connected I saw both of my user shares and my server shows up under 'SHARED' in finder.  Now I'll just have to figure out the windows portion.  THANK YOU, U DA MAN!

Great news. Yeah, Command-k.
