Hi, just upgraded to v6; went for a clean install so I could start my "new" build with just the parity-protected array intact. [edit: upgrade from 5.0.6]

 

I see that the default setup is to set every top level directory as a Share. Convenient, except that I only need/want three of the forty shared. I also see that the default is to not share any of the Disk mounts as accessible, which is what I would prefer.  

 

I have two(-ish) questions:

 

1. How do I share the disks?  (i.e. if I go into a Windows browser and type \\tower\disk1, the location doesn't exist, nor is it in the \\tower directory list)

    [edit]  found this one in an old thread - enabling sharing for Disks is under Settings|Global Share Settings instead of in the Share tab

2. Can I mass-delete all of the existing Shares (not the folders/files, just the shares), or do I have to manually go into all 37 shares I don't want and set them to Export = no?

   2a - if I set the shares to export=no and access the files from the /diskn share, does unRaid ignore the split, or must I also set allocation to fill-up and split level to manual? 

 

Thanks!

Every top level folder will be shared, you'll need to go to each one you don't want exported and manually set to no.

Split level will be ignored.

Thanks for the answers!
