OMV6-Alpha and SMB shares

1. offizieller Beitrag

    I am having an issues with OMV 6\Alpha not playing right with 3 Nvidea Shields. All works great in OMV 5.


    Here is what I have going on:

    OMV 6 is installed on a external SSD used with a PC. A few external USB drives and an internal HDD. Server name is "NAS" (no quotes)

    Everything works great on accessing shared folders from any of the other PCs on the network as Mapped drives. The PC's see the server NAS. However, they wont see shared folders via SMB though.


    Next related issue. Nvidea Shields, apps like Kodi and others that can use network shared data, will not recognize them as SMB shares. The shield itself sees the NAS and mounts it. Once I tell an app to look for the server, it isn't there, however folders within it can be seen, just not via SMB.


    Something odd about it, is on the shields, Kodi that was preconfigured sees and even writes to the shares, but I can't add new sources via SMB within Kodi or other apps. For example, I have an app that is a screensaver that uses your own photos. In OMV 5, you just pointed the app to the server (in my case called "NAS" (without quotes)), then selected a shared folder (on the NAS) called "Photos".


    The file structure on the hard drive is as such with the first folder being Media; then everything else within that:

    Media>Photos or Media>Movies>Family or Media>TV Shows>Crime, etc.


    On a separate HDD, I have game roms, so the struture for it is like:

    Games>Roms>Arcade or Games>Roms>Atari 5200, etc.


    I can point apps to the folder called Media, but not via smb if this is making any sense???


    The shields see the server (NAS), I can attempt to connect them to the network storage, it looks like it does, but don't think it is connecting correctly. BTW, just set up and connecting as guests only.


    Any advice or something you can point me too that might help would be appreciated. Especially with Kodi

    I installed a vm on proxmox and it seems to work on windows 7 and my ubuntu mate laptop. Kodi 18.9 OSMC seems able to browse too. Did not test much though.


    Here is my share setup from /etc/samba/smb.conf.

    Make sure the user is added r/w in acl and privileges. I have set only one, don. Also make sure the "workgroup" matches.


    I am in the back country for the weekend. Good luck.

    Wow, it has been over a year and this still doesn't work with OMV 6

    Wow, for a year there have not been thousands of users complaining daily that SMB does not work for them. Maybe your setup is an edge case and needs some attention. Before you start crying here, maybe you should help to solve this problem. This should be in your sense and maybe in the sense of other users.

    Wow, no wonder why folks are going to better WORKING software options, you sure helped me change my mind to switch. You two AZZHOLES that support OMV or are suppose to be (not the software itself or the dev), I have more than one post on here with more details about the issue, this was the one I happened to post in.


    I do support the awesome dev for his awesome contribution, to the rude commentors, your support comment show how ignorant your minds are and should be replaced

    Zitat von KM0201

    I would re-read donh's signature.

    You're a AZZHOLE! And you were made a Mod to support the dev????? With such little INTELLIGENCE???? No wonder why so many many folks are leaving OMV. Including me.

    I don't have any android devices but this sure seems like a samba auth problem. It probably requires enable NTLM auth which should never be enabled by default or even an option in OMV because it has security problems. If this is the case, the reason it worked in OMV 5.x/Debian 10 is because samba 4.9 didn't disable it by default. OMV 6.x/Debian 11 uses samba 4.13 which is evidently disabling whatever you need. OMV should not try to re-enable something that Samba chose to disable. So, you may be disappointed with OMV and call it non-working software but it is just doing what is good for security.
