[SOLVED] How to create a Disk Share?

[SpeedyVV]

So for some reason I cant find a instructions on how to create d "Disk Share".

 

I just added a new disk to the array, and it is not being cleared.

 

Is there something I need to do to make this a Disk Share instead of a User Share?

 

My Global Share settings->Enable disk shares: is set to Auto.

 

Thanks

Enable Disk Shares: Auto means that its disabled.  If you really want to use disk shares, set it to yes.

 

Why do you want to use disk shares instead of user shares though?  There are caveats with them if you wind up mixing user shares and disk shares when copying / moving files around.

What do you mean by this?  This has nothing to do with "Disk Shares", and if you're having a problem, you should post your diagnostics

Ooops, typo.

 

Meant to say the new disk is being cleared.

 

The reason I need a Disk Share is because I want to use the Disk as a Time Machine backup drive (as per https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/61115-apple-time-machine-and-unraid-6x-updated-setup-instructions-for-macos-high-sierra/).

Not saying you are wrong, but your statement regarding "Auto" setting seems to contradict the help in the Setting page... pasted below...

But I'll take your advice and set it to Yes, just in case.
-----------------------------

Enable disk shares:

 NoYesAuto

If set to No, disk shares are unconditionally not exported.

If set to Yes, disk shares may be exported. WARNING: Do not copy data from a disk share to a user share unless you know what you are doing. This may result in the loss of data and is not supported.

If set to Auto, only disk shares not participating in User Shares may be exported.

The setting has slightly changed, but by default, all disks participate in user shares so no disks would be eligible for export.

After doing setting to YES now I have a working TimeMachine working Disk Share.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

How do I mark this as solved?
