How to use symbolic links between drives?

brafi · 3. September 2017

Hi

I would like to have one of my filder-shares to be shown in a specefic folder?
Can I use symbolic links for this, or do I have to mount this?

I have a drive (Archive7), that I want to be shovn in /r5array/backup/archive7

How do I do this the easiest way?

How to share your data across Drives with symlinks and no pooling.

I get this message, when creating a symbolic link in omv:

Error #0:exception 'OMV\Exception' with message 'Failed to create symbolic link at /srv/dev-disk-by-label-r5storage/foldername/downloads' in /usr/share/openmediavault/engined/rpc/symlinks.inc:90Stack trace:#0 [internal function]: OMVRpcServiceSymlinks->setSymlink(Array, Array)#1 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/serviceabstract.inc(124): call_user_func_array(Array, Array)#2 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/rpc.inc(86): OMV\Rpc\ServiceAbstract->callMethod('setSymlink', Array, Array)#3 /usr/sbin/omv-engined(536): OMV\Rpc\Rpc::call('Symlinks', 'setSymlink', Array, Array, 1)#4 {main}

HAve I done something wrong?

If I use "ln -s /media/uuid2/storage2/media/Movies2 Movies2" I can see the folder in my shared folder, but not access it via samba or ftp...?? (Same user and group have access to the shared drives...)

In your example using the ln command, you don't use the full path for the target. Are you using the full path in the plugin?

Wide links are disabled by default. You will have to enable them using extra options. Google can tell you what to put in the box.

Thank you.

Followed these settings: multiple disks as a single share
