Hi folks - so complete beginner here. Over the weekend I got my first Raspberry Pi (4, 8gb), and setup OMV and Plex via SSH..."headless" i believe is the term.
I took my old MyCloud 2tb, and using the Remote Mount, mounted it, and copied over the 2TB of data I had on there to the new 8TB usb drive connected to my Pi. I set all this up via my laptop. At first I had problems opening the new drives on the 8TB OMV NAS, but I went in, made sure I gave read/write access, included the sub-folders, and it started working. I can open/read/write/delete from my laptop (win10) via file explorer. Yay.
My intended use for the NAS is to have 3 or 4 home computers backup a few key folders to the NAS on some sort of schedule. For now, I was just going to manually do that. This is where I run into the problem. So I have full access on my laptop, but none of the other 3 machines have write access. They each can view the drives, and read, but I have no write ability, and I can't figure out why this would be.
Originally I set up the SMB Share as "Public" - "Guest allowed" - so i wondered if there was an issue there, as I was never prompted for authentication credentials when opening the various folders. So I changed one of the folders to "Public" "no" - I now get prompted for credentials when clicking on that one, but the username and password I created do not work (yes, 100% sure i'm using the right pw). I still have full Write access from my laptop, but can't figure out how to get it on my other machines (all windows 10/11). Any help would be greatly appreciated - also, i'm a complete beginning, so keep it simple please!! :
thanks!
Matt
