  • Share Multiple Disks As One?

    Never mind, think I found the trick... needed "unix extensions = no" too.


    Ended up with the following Extra Options then:


    follow symlinks = yes
    wide links = yes
    unix extensions = no


    That being said, it is working for my SMB/CIFS shares, but not the NFS ones (links don't show at all)... hmm, now what options are needed for it...

  • Share Multiple Disks As One?

    So finally getting around to creating these symlinks... created them fine with the following commands:


    cd /export/MediaJukebox
    ln -s /export/DVD1/


    And in the terminal session the links work just fine... but in my SMB/CIFS MediaJukebox share I see the linked folder as expected, but when trying to enter the folder/link it says:


    Windows cannot access \\NAS\MovieJukebox\DVD1
    You do not have permission to access \\NAS\MovieJukebox\DVD1. Contact your network administrator to request access.


    I tried specifying "allow insecure wide links = yes" in the Extra Option for both the SMB/CIFS settings and the share settings... but that didn't seem to help.


    Any ideas?


    Thanks a lot!

  • Physical Disk Properties Recommendation

    Hi,


    Just getting started with OMV and switching over from a Windows file server (which seemed to auto manage disk spin down, etc.) and wanted to see what other might recommend for disk power settings. The NAS will be used mostly for streaming movies so will be off most the time and only on when watching a movie or managing the data. There are 8 HDDs in a P4 box all on a 450 watt power supply... in most cases only one disk will be accessed at a time (watching a movie) so definitely want the others to spin down. And acoustics are not a problem really because the box is in a different room than the TV.


    I was thinking to leave "Advanced Power Management" to "Disabled" (mostly wondering what is a good one to choose here?), "Automatic Acoustic Management" to "Disabled", "Spindown time" to "5 minutes", "SMART" to "Active" and "Write cache" "Disabled". Any thoughts?


    Thanks a lot for any input!

  • Share Multiple Disks As One?

    Thanks much for that info tekkbebe... unfortunately I have very little free space at the moment, but if no other solutions come up for keeping them as NTFS I will maybe try that in the future when I get a new drive. Don't like the idea of losing a drive loses all data though either, so might try and just work around having a bunch of separate shares.


    In windows I used a 3rd party app to make a symbolic link of all the drives and then made that link my share, maybe I can do something like that and symlink all the drives over to one and then share. Not sure that I even need to do that with this NAS though, maybe separate shares will be just fine... need to play around with it some more I guess :).


    Thanks again tekkbebe.

  • Share Multiple Disks As One?

    Hi, just converted my old PC from a Windows file sever to using OpenMediaVault and must say I love it so far... so thanks for the great OS!


    I have 8 HDDs in the PC (all NTFS) and would like to have 6 of them appear as one logical drive if possible... even if it is just read only, prefer that actually, then for writes I am fine using the individually shared disks. I have been out of the Linux world for a while now so thought I would ask before jumping into it :). And hoping maybe there is something I am missing and can do this right in the OpenMediaVault interface.


    Thanks a lot for any help!
