Access the whole array via Samba

[joelrfernandes]

Hi,

 

It looks like it is possible to share individual drives, but, how can I get a mount for the whole array? The reason I'm asking is because I need to transfer files between shares (e.g. from Documents to Backups) but doing this between shares will cause files to be transfered to the host and then to the destination. I want to avoid this and having the files being transferred without having to copy to the local machine, which could be done if I can either mount the whole array or, ideally, create a custom mount that includes those two shares.

There are several ways to work with the files directly on the server. Krusader docker is often used for this.

I don't want a UI to manage the local files, I could do that via the console if needed. I want to be able to mount it on another device and allow doing this programatically.

Add something like this to /boot/config/smb-extra.conf and reboot. 

 [MNT]
  path=/mnt
	valid users = xxx
	write list = xxx

Thank you. Unraid includes a UI to manage extra configs, which can be accessed at Settings / SMB / SMB Extras. For future reference, this is what I added there:

[NAS]
    path = /mnt/user
    browseable = yes
    writeable = no
    write list = <my-username>
    valid users = <my-username>
