[P] Creation Shared Folders fails: no volume to select

c.monty · Aug 20th 2015

Hello!

In the meantime I have installed OMV 2.1.8 (Stone burner), but I still can't create a shared folder in Access Rights Management -> Shared Folders.

When I open the screen for maintenance of shared folders in order to add one in the WebUI, I can't select any volume from the drop down menu because nothing is listed.
Please review the attached screenshot for the relevant screen.

In my scenario, I want to share the following local directories:
/mnt/musik
/mnt/video
etc.

Question:
What must I maintain in order to get a selection of volumes in the drop down menu?

You can't, from seeing your mount paths (/mnt) you didn't mount the drives with webui, this means the drives are unregistered in the config.xml.
unmount the drives and mount them with the button, then they will appear to make shared folders.

OMV 2.x is running in KVM.
This means there are no drives available that could be mounted in the file system.

Are there any other option to share existing directories in OMV?

Yes, you can fake Fs entries editing /etc/openmediavault/config.xml

i do that for a small openvz vps server I have with omv.

Hm... could please share some examples of the fake FS entries in /etc/openmediavault/config.xml?

There is a sample inside of config.xml, look at <fstab>
