mounting a pre-existing folder as a shared folder

Hi,

I have OMV v.6 running well right now but there are a few things that niggle at me!

for example I have about 10 shared folders which I run nightly rsync and clamav jobs against.

to achieve this I have 10 rsync jobs and 10 clam av jobs each of which email me a completion record.

ideally i would like just the two cron jobs (1 for av and one for backup).

i thought one way to achieve this would be to share the /media/UUID folder so what I did was created a symlink in the /media directory called omv (/media/omv) and pointed it at the UUID I am interested in.

From putty this works, so, is it possible to share that directory (/media/omv) so that I can run rsny and clam against it?

thanks in advance

Dan.

sorry to bump, wondered if i had posted this in the wrong forum.

thanks for getting back to me on this one ryecoaaron,

I assume in the example below that post the moving of data etc that the only shared folder left would be "main"?

And that I would not be able to create an smb share called "sf1" that resided inside the shared folder "main"?

is that correct?

If you want to do this in the web interface, you have to use shared folders. You could move shared folders and data from a structure like:

sf1/
sf2/
sf3/

to

main/sf1/
main/sf2/
main/sf3/

In addtion to the three shared folders - sf1, sf2, sf3 - you would have a fourth called main. You would run the backup and av on main instead of the individual. Moving the data (by command line) would be fast since it would be on the same drive.

ok guys, thanks for all of your input ... I think I will have a play in my VM and see which method feels the most appropriate.
