Hello,

 

I have an USB drive that has an NTFS partition.  I wanted to mount it on my unraid server because i am currently using it as an overflow drive for my data as my server is full right now and I am saving for a couple of new hard drives.

 

I followed the Wiki article titled "Mounting an external USB drive having an existing NTFS file system in READ/WRITE mode to transport files from/to unRaid server" which is located at:  http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Mounting_an_external_USB_drive_having_an_existing_NTFS_file_system_in_READ/WRITE_mode_to_transport_files_from/to_unRaid_server

 

I followed the instructions up to and including successfully mounting the the drive Read/write.

 

My problem is I can see the files on the USB drive in my telnet session just fine.  In other words if I do an ls against the mounted folder I see files from the USB drive.  If I use windows and access the mounted usb folder through SAMBA I see no files.  Yet this Wiki article states i should see files.  Can any one tell me what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Sincerely,

It's easier to use SNAP to mount and share drives.

I was not patient enough, I don't know how long it took, but I just checked a minute ago and I can see the files there.

 

I will definitely look at snap because that looks very interesting.

 

Thanks for the tip.
