Followed instructions for Samba folder share - doesn't work from Win machine

stevedawg85 · 4. Dezember 2017

Instructions
(Fresh install of OMV)
I followed the above instructions except I skipped the symlink part. For the life of me, I cannot samba into any of my new shares.

Create a user "steve-w"
Create a shared folder
Privileges & Acl settings I check read/write for steve-w
Enable SMB
Select above shared folder (leaving everything default)

On my PC, I've tried both Start > Run > server ip & maping the drive. When I mess with the "Public" option, sometimes I can see the 2 shared folders, but it won't let me in to browse. It does ask for name/pass, but it wont accept any sort of combination. servername/steve-w or just steve-w or

My samba.conf contains:

Code

path = /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Media1/Media1
guest ok = no
read only = no
browseable = yes
inherit acls = yes
inherit permissions = no
ea support = no
store dos attributes = no
vfs objects = 
printable = no
create mask = 0664
force create mode = 0664
directory mask = 0775
force directory mode = 0775
hide special files = yes
follow symlinks = yes
hide dot files = yes
valid users = "steve-w"
invalid users = 
read list = 
write list = "steve-w"

I have similar problem.

SMB/CIFS and NFS show on Fedora but cant connect to them

But in your case i would suggest to try out sharing on some other free NAS solutions like FreeNAS, NAS4Free, Xpenology, Rockstor, Openfiler (pick one of them) first. Because Windows sharing services are really REALLY unpredictable even in case of sharing in windows only environment. I tried FreeNAS and samba worked like a charm there so it ensured me that problem is on OMV side, not clients (Windows, Fedora) side. I cant use FreeNAS because it needs at least 8GB ram which i dont have and im not willing to buy.
But your case may be different. If other nas os wont work the same way, then it means that it may be a problem with your Windows PC or other devices (router?).

I tried from 2 different client PC's and it worked on the other. no idea why machine #1 doesn't work, oh well, I'll use #2 when needed. I like OMV, i mean, it's the only thing I tried, but I'm sticking with it.
