Shared folders is empty

1st Official Post

    On my DIY NAS computer I have 6 harddisks all NTFS formated so that they also are accesable from Windows 7 computers
    But after installing OMV 5.5.4-1 I cannot see the files within the shared folders on my Windows 7 computer
    I can only see the shares, but not the files inside...

    Maybe important to mention is that I (in OMV) don't have a "main" shared folder on the harddisks
    Instead I shared the entire harddisk like this:



    What I did so far:

    - read all earlier topics about this problem on the internet
    - resset the ACL rights on the shared folders
    - created a new user, and give it again permissions on the shared folders

    even installed SMB1 on Windows 7 client (I know not safe..)

    Can anybody help me?

    The populating of the directories in /sharedfolders was deprecated in OMV 5. If you want the behavior to revert to prior, then do the following:


    Add OMV_SHAREDFOLDERS_DIR_ENABLED="YES" setting to /etc/default/openmediavault and then run:

    omv-salt stage run prepare

    omv-salt deploy run systemd

    reboot

    Thank you Gderf for this important info, I think a lot of other OMV users are not aware of this...
    So besides you solution, I could also install OMV 4 to solve the problem?

    The question comes up from time to time and the change in behavior was reported in the changelog (which very few read).


    I do not recommend installing OMV 4 to solve this, use OMV 5 and fix it as shown. The underlying Debian 9 used by OMV 4 is nearing end of life, so for this reason it is not a good choice.

    Rebooted first OMV, and then Windows 7 client...sorry didn't worked


    I didn't added the OMV_SHAREDFOLDERS_DIR_ENABLED="YES" line,
    because it was already there like this: OMV_SHAREDFOLDERS_DIR_ENABLED="NO"

    I changed NO to YES, and saved it

    The change may only apply to newly created shares, I am not sure. Try deleting a share (but not the data within it) and create it again.

    That isn´t enough. After the change you have to execute the commands of post #2. Do you have done this?

    OMV 3.0.100 (Gray style)

    ASRock Rack C2550D4I C0-stepping - 16GB ECC - 6x WD RED 3TB (ZFS 2x3 Striped RaidZ1) - Fractal Design Node 304 -

    Are you sure it is related to the /sharedfolders/ feature?

    No (If your question is related to me). audiodandy wrote that he has changed the environment variable setting. But not if he has executed the necessary commands.

    It works now! ;)

    What I noticed that on each 6 harddisks folders like "Disk1" , "Disk2" was created by OMV,

    So if the rules are changed, I deciced to follow the rules for one time,

    I placed all sub folders inside each "Disk1 t/m Disk6" folders

    after this I reinstalled OMV, created the users, mounted the harddisks, and activated the SMB service, and then added the harddisks to the SMB shares

    Now it's working again how I wanted it, thanks everybody for your help!:)
