Volume not showing up in "Shares"

stefpaw · Sep 29th 2017

Hello everybody,

I hope this is not a dublicate post.
I'm a complete noob, just got my Raspberry Pi 3 and installed OMV. My goal is to use it as a NAS with SMB to stream movies via Kodi to my Android TV.

Now here's my problem: When I try to add a folder on my attached HDD to the "Shared Folders" - List, it just does not show up. I can only select the SD I with the OMV image.
If I go to "Filesystems" or "Physical Disks", the HDD shows up as mounted though... I also mounted it manually via the R3 CLI.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thank you guys in advance!

Cheers,
Stefan

For the 1000th time in this forum. The disk needs to be mounted using the webui.

Yep, you have to mount it in the OMV web interface otherwise there is no mntent in the database.

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem.
Mounted using webui, HDD drives with NTFS don't show up when I try to share.
USB stick with NTFS works fine.

Do they have labels in the filesystem tab?

They both have labels, the disk has a space in the label name.
Could that be the issue?

The space in the name is the issue. I have renamed it and now I am able to select it in the drop down to add a share.

Yep. Spaces are evil.
