Lost Not Found

Might be related to network discovery in your new W11 install. I have seen a few posts with similar issues.

Have you tried setting up a 'network location' rather than mapping a network drive?

You should also try connecting via IP address rather than hostname to rule out dns related issues

I thought you have already setup SMB sharing correctly in OMV. My apologies if this is not the case.

Once you have sharing setup in OMV, the next step is to establish a connection from your windows pc - this is where network location or mapping a network drive comes into play.

Do you have SMB/CIFS service enabled with shared folders configured in OMV?

OK. Let's try to confirm the OMV side... But there is a guide to this stuff on the omv wiki that will be more detailed...

1. check shared folders are setup - OMV GUI: storage > shared folders

2. check user permissions on shared folder. select the shared folder. click the folder with key icon

3. confirm the shared folder is setup for SMB/CIFS - OMV GUI: services > SMB > shares

nice start

Then you should try to connect to your shared folder using windows explorer - this is where network location or mapping a network drive comes into play.

Have you tried right clicking 'this pc and then selecting the add network location button?

you need to use the user/password for the OMV user that has been granted access to the share

Try resetting the password for the user in OMV so you are 100% sure about the login deets

For me, it’s good night here in Australia.

I have a very cheap n100 minipc from china (no tariffs haha). I run just omv on it and it has really impressed me. I also have a RPI5 and RPI4 both with omv but the minipc is the best in my opinion.

Regarding your connectivity issue, I don’t really understand why you are trying to connect using ssh. That is completely different to smb for file sharing.

You probably have a permissions related issue or maybe it’s your windows machine. Go through everything I showed you earlier. Check the yellow highlight box for read/write for the user for the share.

If still not working try getting access from a different computer.

Post screenshots of your setup for user, shared folders, smb etc and I’ll take a look

I don't think omv-firstaid will help you with this. I think it is just your configuration/setup is not quite right.

in the GUI in shared folders take a look at your permissions on the share: storage > shared folders select share and use the acl button (list with tick icon) - DO NOT MAKE CHANGES AT THE BOTTOM access control lists SECTION.

The top part shows the file owner/permissions. Post this screenshot but don't make changes (yet)

The shared folder permissions look fine.

Can you ping the server from windows using the server name?

on windows open a terminal window and use command ping raspberrypi

also - what disk are you using for your share? I see /PublicDan

Is this really on the root of your OS disk??? If so on a RPI - this is not good...

I would also avoid mixed case in sharedfolder names e.g. /publicdan rather than /PublicDan

Maybe you should setup a test config:

• create a new shared folder called /testshare
• create a new user called testuser with a simple password. check testuser is in user group only
• set permissions on testshare for testuser
• add the shared folder to smb shares

in windows, create a new network location (or mapped drive but I find network location is better).

the network location wizard will step you through the config. but path should be \\raspberrypi\testshare

if network share is found, you will be prompted for user info - use testuser with password created earlier...
