General questions about folders and drive under OMV6

Quote from harold.mouras

- when you create a shared folder in OMV GUi and do a share through SMB after, the folder does appear in the Finder of any computer on the network. If you then create a subfolder into this folder from the finder, the subfolder is visible on the computer, but not reachable from OMV GUI as share folder, why ?

"shared folder" is just a construct to define the properties of a folder to be shared e.g. using smb or nfs. Folders below that top level folder inherit the properties.

It is possible to have nested shared folder. So you could create a shared folder pointing at the folder you created with finder.

- if you format a HD from OMV GUI, there is still the list of the shared folders you created. This list is not updated. How to clean all these old shared folders for not having them listed as "missing" ?

You should not be able to format a drive if there are already shared folders defined on that drive. At least not from the GUI of OMV.

The correct procedure is to do everything in reverse order what you did to set up.

If you have missing shared folders you can delete them from the GUI. If they are still used in services, you have to remove them from these services first.
