Shared folders do not appear

  • Firstly my main system I'm trying to browse the shared folders from in Windows 8.


    So here's the process I took to setup my share.


    1. Created a Filesystem as ext4
    2. Created a user
    3. Created a Shared Folder "Audio", I selected the Volume I created in step 1 and typed "Audio" in both Name and Path
    4. Set the Shared Folders Privileges to "Read/Write" for the user I created in step 2
    5. Enabled SMB/CIFS, entered my personal workgroup, checked "All this server to try and become a local mater browser", checked "Set browseable"
    6. In SMB/CIFS I created a new Share, I named it "Audio" and selected the shared folder I created in step 3, I checked "Set browseable"


    That should be it right? I even rebooted the OMV server and I can see the server in Windows under Network, but the only folder that appears is a home folder for the user I created in step 2.


    Please, any help is appreciated!

  • I think there is some issue with win 8. There have been some earlier posts with ppl having issues with samba and win 8. Is there reason you did not upgrade to 8.1?


    Send a pm to WastlJ. He is on win 8 or 8.1.

  • WastlJ isn't on Windows 8.1/8, but I am.


    Darkmatter, can you give me a screenshot of your OpenMediaVault GUI within the SMB Shares tab and the output of the following command?


    Code
    cat /etc/samba/smb.conf

  • Try to add this setting in the extra-options field in OMV and see, if it works then.

    Code
    os level = 65


    You can even try a higher number. This helped me with the same problem under win 7
    And: enable "local master browser"

    I have a 8.1 Notebook here, but I´m using Mac primarily. So you´re both right. Of course I can try to help you.
    @ David, if you´re runnin´ out of ideas, maybe I can help you!

  • Here's the screenshot you requested and here's the output.

  • Thats the settings tab, not the shares tab. But anyway, your share is setup, according to your smb.conf.


    Can you connect to the share via \\IPofyourNAS\Audio via explorer?

  • If you can connect to a share like david said, you can try to add the option mentioned above from me and see, if it shows up in Explorer then.
