October 31, 201015 yr Is it possible to change the names of the drives in Linux / Unraid? IOW I have Disk1, Disk2 etc. Not too useful. I want to rename them "PSM", SQLServer Backup and so forth. Is this possible? jwcolby
October 31, 201015 yr You can't change the names easily but you can create alternate names using the smb-extra file and disable the disk shares. You can also use the features of Samba to implement security. I do this extensively. If you follow the Best of the Forums link there should be a link to a post where this was discussed. Maybe in the FAQ as well.
October 31, 201015 yr The smb-extra.conf file is used to do this. See following link for a discussion: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=8549.msg82803#msg82803
October 31, 201015 yr Joe's example just scratches the surface. Look here This was written before (and may have been part of the motivation for) the smb-extra feature. Go to a telenet session and enter the command "testparm -s". It will list the current samba configuration. You can pipe the output to a file and use to help create your own smb-extra.conf file. Note that the permission structure changes from time to time (most recently in 5.0 beta2) requiring tweaking of the smb-extra file to stay consistant. I won't repeat it, but the referenced post has a link to a good site explaining Samba features.
