I recently migrated to using OpenMediaVault in ESXI and I have two hard drives set up. Both seem to be setup identically, however, one of the drives (formatted as NTFS) doesn't show any files when I access it through another machine. It does show that 2.1TB of the 4TB are used, but there is nothing in my file manager. I have tried installing the OMV extras and resetting the permissions on the folder, but haven't had any luck. Do I need to reformat this drive to be ext4 or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cannot see files in my samba share using an NTFS drive

I'll be much better, but of course if the disk is gonna be pull in and out of omv for data transfers against windows stations ntfs is an option.
So what do you really want? -
Right now the plan is that it will only interact with linux systems (one hosting Plex and one hosting Sonarr). However, I cannot view the files on my Windows machine either. Is it just because OMV cant interact with NTFS correctly or something?

Don't know, it usually works, at least in my system. If this is linux only then i'd recommend you to reformat then to ext4.

Even when formated to Ext4 it still doesnt show the files. It shows the initial subfolders located at the drives Root, but the folders within those first subfolders do not show up. Is there something I have to do to change the permissions of those folders too?

How are you adding content to the drive ?
Also how are you browsing those files? Terminal, ssh, samba ? -
I am trying to connect via Samba share.
I have not been able to add content to the drive, as I cannot access sub-folders on the drive.
-
What sub folders? No content has being added to the disk yet. If you create a new shared folder in the UI that's empty. Then you connect that share to samba, add user privileges, then connect from Lan clients and start adding content

Sorry, I misunderstood. On the drive there are two sub folders (TV Shows and Anime TV Shows). I can see them in my file explorer in Open Media Vault when choosing a folder to select, but none of the folders within the TV Shows or Anime TV Shows folders show up, and since they contain all of the files I can't access any of my TV files. If I plug this drive into another VM though the files all pop up, so I know that they are there.

I cant see the whole output or figure out how to copy and paste it. However, it keeps saying the Folder name and Root. Does this mean that root is the owner of the file? It also says that thenrun is not a valid command.
-
Sorry the command is
tree -pugd -L 3 /media
"thenrun" was just a typo, it was mean to be "then run"
if youre using putty as terminal you can select contents as normal by dragging and copy is just clicking right button in mouse.
-
It wouldn't let me copy/paste the terminal, but here is a screen shot. It doesn't look like it goes all the way up, so it cuts off at the top.

You can short it a little bit changing the switch to depth level 2
-L 2
Do you have omvextras installed ?
-
Here is the output when using -L 2
http://i.imgur.com/hz3E65y.jpgYes I have OMVExtras installed, and have tried using that to reset permissions. Now from what I see it doesn't look like the drive with my TV files is located in /media at all. Where might it be sitting if not there? /mnt?
-
I though we we're dealing here with ext4 drives. Drives are mounted at /media and all of them are ntfs.
reset permission won't work in ntfs drives.
Can you post here the output of this commandcat /etc/samba/smb.conf
-
I formatted it to ext4. Here is the results from the section labeled TV Shows.
-
I can see the problem. That share tvshow is pointing to the drive starting with 01D1...., according to "tree" command that drive is empty...nada.
You need to create a share from the disks that have content. -
But if i plug the drive into another VM it shows content. I'll go back and double check that I didn't misspell something, but even in OMVs file Explorer it doesn't show anything past the initial TV Shows folder. But if it's plugged into anothee machine all the other subfolders show up within the TV shows folder.
-
Well somehow the system is not reading the contents of that drive. Not much we can do we rely on the Linux ntfs-3G fuse module.
Check against the drive on another system, maybe extract the contents from there to somewhere else and move the drive again to Omv and reformat as ext4. Use samba to share that disk and start moving content back.
