Maping a drive in windows 8.1

richprim · 28. Juli 2014

I seem only able to map 2 drives before it refuses to map the next drive.

Permissions are set to Guest allowed.

I must have something setup up wrong in the SMB setup.

I am running the latest version of OMV

Forgot to mention I am using the RPI version.
All the folders are available as network drives and I can sent and retrieve files from them.
Just can't map more then 2, any 2 work then it wont map any more.

You could try using your hosts file to map your OpenMediaVault IP to a second Hostname and use that second hostname for additional Network Drives.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am new at this so not sure how to do what you suggested.
Could you tell me how to use my "host file".

Thank you Rich Prim

Code

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Edit with notepad, or what you like. You need admin rights for that, e.g. you need to start your editor first with admin rights to be able to save changes.

Here is my hosts file, should explain how it works:

Code

Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host


# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#	127.0.0.1       localhost
#	::1             localhost

Ok thank you very much.
I will try this.
I guess open media vault has a limit on mapped drives, just started using it except for the mapping limit its great.

I remade the share folders but this time i made the premissions "only guests", now I seem to be able to make unlimited share folders.
