Hi...

 

VER 4.5.1  (I did not know where else to ask this.)

 

As the subject reads, I can't see files/directories on a MAC that were added with Windows.

 

Example, I make a new Directory and add files to it from any type windows machine.  I then go to my MAC and I can not see them at all.  Go back to windows, yup, they are are their.

 

I know this has been talked about and I have read some of the threads.  I even set some Simba settings to some new config file that had to do with the flags.  But nope...nadda.  (Yes, I restarted)

 

Can someone PLEASE explain what is needed.  I know it is a flag issue, but man, this should not be an issue at all.

 

Thank you kindly.

 

Here's a previous post that explains this: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4016.msg63769#msg63769 (repeated here to generate warm-fuzzies)

 

It is not a bug. It depends on how you configured SAMBA to map additional non-unix attributes, like the WinOS HIDDEN flag.

 

Look into the SAMBA options of "map hidden", "map archive", and "map system" within the smb.conf man pages.

 

Set the directory permissions appropriately and then set the file permissions appropriately.

 

find /mnt/disk# -type d -exec chmod 0777 {} \;
find /mnt/disk# -type f -exec chmod 0666 {} \;

 

Or from your windows client, you can remove the hidden/system/archive attributes from the mapped drive/share/directory.

 

attrib -S -H -R /S /D *.*

 

 

Guys, thanks.  But I did the settings as mentioned with SAMBA.  I made two config line settings.

 

In Flashdrive/config/smb-extra.conf  I put...

 

map hidden = No

map system = No

 

It did nothing that I can see.  Same issue as always.  Is it in the wrong please?  Are they the wrong entries?  Am I missing something?

 

I would think I would not have to run any special commands to use the file system.  It just seems like this is something that should already be handled.  To have to run command lines or change permissions each time just seems like something that should be handled by the OS or something.

 

Thanks

Are you connecting from the MAC to the unRAID server via NFS?  or via SAMBA shares? 

 

I don't own a MAC, but it might be a clue that will help someone who does own a MAC figure out what is happening.

Example, I make a new Directory and add files to it from any type windows machine.  I then go to my MAC and I can not see them at all.  Go back to windows, yup, they are are their.

Have you configured anything manually?

 

I have a mixed PC(Windows XP/Vista)/MAC(Leopard) household running unRAID (4.5.3) "out of the box". We routinely create files/directories from the PC, MAC, and internally within unRAID, with Leopard showing no problems over SAMBA or NFS.

 

EDIT: I should also highlight:

- I only use disk shares, not user shares

- NFS is exported using the insercure option

 

Hey Joe....Hope you and yours are well.

 

SAMBA shares.  I have done nothing special and not even sure how I would use NFS.  I see their is a setting in the shares for it, but never used it as it seems to be like a command like setting and I was not sure if others things were needed.  The docs are kind of limited in this regard as it is not even listed... http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=UnRAID_Manual

 

I find info on it in the FAQ, but this is where I got the impression it was not something as simple as turning on and that it was still experimental.  (FAQ words not mine.)  http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#How_do_I_configure_NFS_mounts.3F

 

As you know I have been using the LimeTech server for some time now...over a year.  I have always used a MAC with it but I guess have grown tired of fussing with it for it to work I was hoping their was a real answer as it should, well, just work.  Today I got upset as I copied a log file off a windows machine to a temp holding place on the server and then went to get it to send it via e-mail on my mac.  Nope...could not get to it.

 

With all the Mac users out their, this is something that should just really just work out of the box so to speak.

 

Take care,

 

 

Noting special done to it.  I use USER SHARES as I let the server handle where it stores things vs having all the disks listed.

It would be worth testing with disk shares just to see if it makes any difference.

That could at least narrow down the root cause of the problem, and may provide you with a (less than ideal) workaround...

Running OS X version 10.5.8, I do this:

 

From Finder menu:

  Go -> Connect to Server

 

  Server address

    smb://tower

 

  Connect as:

    Guest

 

  Select the volumes to mount:

    Music

 

At this point, 'tower' shows up under the SHARED panel in the Finder window.  When clicking on tower, all the shares show up, not just the one selected during the connect process ('Music' above).  Not sure why this is true.

 

But all files/folders are visible, both via disk shares and user shares.  Everything seems to work fine.

David, did this resolve it for you?  This sounds like it should be in the Mac section of the FAQ, but I would like to hear from you first.

Hey Guys...

 

Totally missed the post from the 11th.  Sorry.

 

Unsure are I ended up running...

 

find /mnt/disk# -type d -exec chmod 0777 {} \;

find /mnt/disk# -type f -exec chmod 0666 {} \;

 

...on the entire /mnt

 

At this point I have not had the issue when I made a new dir from a windows machine that is under one of the shares.

 

I also had done the...

 

map hidden = No

map system = No

 

So right now at a loss as to if the above from Tom would work.  Do not see how it would make a difference though as it clearly is a attribute thing.

 

What I usually do to see the sever is I go into FINDER and under shares I click ALL.  I can see the server and then click on it and it connects to it and I see the shares.  

 

Side note...LOVE the LimeTech MD-1510/LI server.  So special thanks to Tom.
