Running unRAID 4.7.

 

This is how I have my unRAID server configured with split level 0:

 

Media

  |_____Videos

  |_____Movies

  |_____Pictures

  |_____Shows

 

This is working great as I expected.  I was wondering if there was a way to create a share on one of the sub-folder and yet still present a consolidated view of the actual underlying disks?  For example, I would like to create a share on the Movies sub-folder although it is present on several disks

 

On the flash drive in the config directory are config files. You need to create one called smb-extra.conf.

 

The general content should look something like this;

 

[Movies]
path = /mnt/user/Media/Movies
comment = Movies
browseable = yes
# public
public = yes
writeable = yes

[Videos]
path = /mnt/user/Media/Videos
comment = Videos
browseable = yes
# public
public = yes
writeable = yes

 

You can open or copy the other config file for your Media share to get an idea of what you are trying to create.

Thank you Peter, I will give this a try.

 

Just a few more questions:

 

01. Do I have reboot the unRAID server for this to take effect orr is there a command line to load the smb-extra.conf file?

 

02. Will the smb-etra.conf automatically be loaded after all reboot?

 

 

You could stop and start the array via the emhttp management page. That should get things going for you.

 

You could also try using smbcontrol via the command line to force a reload.

 

smbcontrol smbd reload-config

One last question:

 

If I have a space in a directory name is this how my path should look like inside the .conf file?

 

[Movies]

path = "/mnt/user/Media/My Movies"

read only = yes

browseable = yes

 

Thanks everyone, I got things working fine.  I am glad I went with unRAID, now time to play with my new Netgear NeoTV 550!

No, don't put quotes.  It deals with spaces just fine.

 

[Movies]

path = /mnt/user/Media/My Movies

read only = yes

browseable = yes

Thanks!  I updated the .conf file to remove the quotes.
