October 4, 201015 yr Hi, I have just made my first unRaid box and was wondering how to 'hide' the diskX shares in the filebrowsers accesing the box. I want only the shares I created to be there. ( Music, Movies,... ) So other uses can't acces the disks any other way. Thanks, dzn
October 4, 201015 yr From the unRAID GUI Shares Export settings Disk shares (SMB): From here I choose "Export read/write, hidden"
October 4, 201015 yr Author From the unRAID GUI Shares Export settings Disk shares (SMB): From here I choose "Export read/write, hidden" Ok, it worked! Thanks a lot! PS. I have gigabit connections to my gigabitswitch. I use Samsung F3 drives. Writing at 28MB/Sec... seems slow or is this normal? ( A AMD Sempron 140 doing the work )

October 4, 201015 yr Author The disks should do 100MB/s, the network 125MB/s, sata2 is 2.5gbps... so the bottleneck is the parity computation? Greets
October 4, 201015 yr The disks should do 100MB/s, the network 125MB/s, sata2 is 2.5gbps... so the bottleneck is the parity computation? Greets The bottleneck is the slowest rotational speed of the disks involved. All the numbers you gave are "marketing" No disk will do 100MB/s sustained to all of its sectors. They will average 80 to 100 MB/s when reading, even if the data link to them is 2.5gbps. Write speed is typically lower. Factor in the time it rotates the platters 2.8 times and it gets slower. No network is 125MB/s unless you are doing fiber optic links. See this post for details: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4390.msg40684#msg40684 Best case for write speed would be all 7200 RPM drives on disk controllers that do not have to share buss bandwidth. (PCIe or PCI-X) 5400 RPM drives will get about 1/3 less write speed to the array because they rotate 1/3 slower. Best case with 7200 RPM drives can get up to 40 MB/s. With special hardware you might get 45MB/s peaks. I get between 30 and 35 MB/s with 7200 RPM drives on standard hardware.

I know it were marketing numbers but still they were a lot higher. I understand now and I'm happy with the speed Thanks!
October 4, 201015 yr From the unRAID GUI Shares Export settings Disk shares (SMB): From here I choose "Export read/write, hidden" I personally use those settings so I can access my shares via \\tower\disk1 \\tower\disk2 \\tower\disk3 \\tower\disk4 Then my user shares are all set to read only. Everybody can read their data all day, but can't really write to it and if I need a share writeable I just give that one permission. I'm kinda virus, spam paranoid
